My Girlfriend has just launched an online vintage and Swing fashion clothing store. I have been having such a great time doing some photo shoots for her. Check it out here: www.SwingCandy.com
I think it is a great looking store, and she does carry pretty high quality items too.
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He’s just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He’s fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don’t care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish
A fish won’t do anything, but swim in a brook
He can’t write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he’s slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish
And all the monkeys aren’t in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it’s all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin’ on a star
NOTE: Don’t ask me why I picked those lyrics for this pic. The song just came up on my iPod while I was posting this picture. 
I didn’t go to the Showboat Swing at Kitsilano yesterday. I don’t think if it ever happened because of the bad weather. Now I am getting the withdrawal symptoms! Damn it! I need to watch some follows swivel, jump and jive.
“Why don’t you do right!” the Jessica Rabbit version
Aren’t you sick of this song yet? good! here is another version. As a kid I’ve always liked cartoons specially this one. Heaven knows I still do! I must say the way she sways around and treats all the men like puppies is kinda cute!
Blackberry Cinnamon Ginger Ice Tea
Directions:
In a large saucepan, heat water to just before boiling. Add tea bags, 2 of the cinnamon sticks and ginger. Remove from heat, cover and let steep for about 15 minutes.
Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, placed over a pitcher. Add the juice and sweetener to taste. Refrigerate until very cold.
To serve, fill 6 tall, chilled glasses with crushed ice. Pour the tea over the top of the ice and garnish with cinnamon sticks. Serve immediately.
My mother is walking 60K to raise funds for Breast Cancer research. The money she raises will benefit the BC Cancer Foundation, a leader in this critical cause.
Most of us know someone close to us who has been affected with some sort of Cancer, I lost a girlfriend to cancer myself few years ago. My mother has also lost a close friend to cancer just recently.
We can join forces and make a difference and as they say "Let’s make Cancer history".
Your can make your donations directly to the CIBC bank when you visit my mother’s personal page on the BC cancer foundation website. Thank you kindly for making a difference.
Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello, that music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you’re near.
