I moved to Vancouver in September. THIS IS RAD. I've been waiting to move here for three years, because everyone I love other than a very few select people are clustered in this beautiful, temperate region. I'm very excited to be living here, with the beautiful green moss and mists in the early morning!
I love the culture of Vancouver. It's so diverse and beautiful, and open minded and full of culture! I got to volunteer at a Haunter House this last halloween, which was epic. I got to do a bunch of painting and muraled a room into a cracked marble scape. I also volunteer'd to be IN the production, because it wasn't just a scary haunted house it was a performance house. The entire Tour took you through an hour long adventure into the land of Faerie, and you met Gnomes, nymphs, dryads, witches, dark faeries, orgre's, the Icequeen, and the King and Queen of Faerie.
I got to be in the court room scene with the king and queen, as a nightmare. It was wicked fun! We ended up on a ledge five feet off the ground, buit into a fake wall. So everyone during the scene thought we stayed up there in the alcove, but at one point we jump down and start dancing and creeping around the audience. It was AMAZING fun, and I loved being a nightmare. I also did a lot of make up, and photography for the event. Even though I had only been volunteering, I ended up being paid for it which made me feel even more awesome
I have a potential mural job lined up for spring, the company confirmed in a phone call but I need to get together with them to sign the paper work, which I am stoked for. It's going to be a big job, and I'm hoping to actually get started as my own business here soon. I'm going to talk to a career services place about the Self Employment program, and getting on with becoming a photographer and muralist. This next year holds all new wonders. Here's the wall for the Haunted house!
I've also started crafting, and hope to do markets and stuff with my wares come spring! I've always been a jewelry maker and painter, but I also started making hair clips! This is a christmas craft market me and Minxington did, there wasnt enough foot traffic but it was still a fun weekend!
OH! I also got my tattoo worked on, got the blue all redone and now just some touch ups in the oranges and reds! So stoked, it looks fantastic! Minxington is one absolutely rad tattoo artist!
My fingers are crossed that SG will be announcing doing the Vancouver Taboo Sex show here soon...so that me and all the wonderful girls can have a meet up and meet all of the wonderful SGBC community!
Does anyone have any free, or rather inexpensive awesome things to do around the Vancouver area? I'm rather poor, but I'd really love to get out a little more!
And now, have some boobs, in celebration for some weight I managed to loose And because boobs rock.
