IM NOT GETTING SHOT
Here are some videos on the swine flu that I think are interesting. I always seek out alternative media. I do believe that this is one way the “Higher Powers” are trying to control our minds. What better way to scare us into believing that a pandemic will kill us when it is actually the vaccine itself.
Do the research! 30-35000 people a year die of the regular flu. Only 18,000 people have died from the swine flu. Not one mainstream media corp have picked this up.
Don’t give in, fear based society. The opposite of fear is love. and I love you.

AVENUE MAGAZINE ARTICLE
Photography by Dermot Cleary.
“Pulling influence from the glamour of the 1920′s, the flirtiness of the 1960′s and the punk movement in the late 1970′s, jewellery designer, writer, photographer and all-around creative force Melyssa Nielsen has developed a style all her own by following her own advice: “Be yourself and you’ll always be in fashion.” The Alberta College of Art grad lived in London, Paris and apprenticed in New York before returning to Calgary to open her own design studio, Melncoly, because she didn’t think the other jewellery out there was for her.”

NEW MICHEL GONDRY FILM *TOKYO!*
In TOKYO!, three visionary directors (Michel Gondry, Leos Carax and Bong Joon-ho) come together for an omnibus triptych examining the nature of one unforgettable city as its shaped by the disparate people who live, work (and run amok) inside an enormous, constantly evolving, densely populated Japanese megalopolis — the enchanting and inimitable Tokyo.
TOKYO! will be shown in Calgary on Saturday, April 18 (7PM) at the Plaza Theater in Kensington. It is brought to you by the Calgary Underground Film Festival!

OF MONTREAL FAMILY ON LETTERMAN TONIGHT
“The day I watch television is the day my ninatwin is on Letterman” she was last night.

I was hoping she would wear her nudie Rapunzel bush outfit but she was a ninja instead. Here is a pic of Nina at the New York show in October… She really is the Queen of Hearts.
