EP in CPH

The only reason to take a break from our vacation and go back to the city for a few hours?

Pretty Little Campers...

  
I recently stumbled upon these adorable little VW campers and just had to share. I know some of you are readers from the UK, and others travel there (lucky ducks!), so please take note of this wonderful company. 





 Snail Trail is the brainchild of Lucy and Steven Lord who rent out these travelling caravans of sweetness from their base, 35 miles north of London. Adding to the charm is their habit of dubbing these sweet treasures with suitably English names like Maud, Gracie, Daphne and Ruby, among others. Even smarter is that they offer the option of renting out the caravans for photo shoots! Can you even imagine? Bliss!












Just be sure, when I make my return journey/holiday to the UK, I will definitely be looking into these as a nostalgic way to explore the English countryside. Sadly, they currently don't allow renters to take trailers into my birthplace, Northern Ireland; but surely they will make an exception for me, especially when I remind them that N.Ireland and England shares our beloved flag, the Union Jack?! 





Either way, I'm coming, so hats off to the Lords and Snail Trail for offering this sweetly vintage nod as a way to tour their beautiful country!

A Holiday photo shoot...

How do you think you would prepare for a photo shoot? I am sure such you would want to put forth your best effort and dust every surface, polish wood floors, touch-up paint and make things sparkle, right? I think that is a good plan, too, but it just didn't happen that way for me when Matthew and Jenny Mead arrived to shoot a holiday feature at my home. With five stories due to Matthew (by noon on the day before he was to arrive) for the gardening magazine we are working on, I had been basically chained to my desk all week. My house in a relative shambles, I hit send - files attached - jumped from my chair (my daughter in tow), and raced to the grocery store for *luxuries* like bread, milk, and eggs. Back home, I gathered up a few pretties and headed out to the little cottage by the sea which Matthew and Jenny were renting for the upcoming week. There, I made up a bed with a pretty quilt and sheets, threw open some windows and stocked the fridge with some Canadian goodies like (real) Cadbury chocolate and Kraft peanut butter. You know, the basics. Once home, I began to declutter (not clean) the house while my husband set to cleaning out the garage to make room for the props...

The $65 bathroom make-over...

As I sit here amidst the prettiest piles of photo shoot chaos - admiring the lights of the Christmas (yes, Christmas!) tree that glows in my living room, the perfectly styled dining table and my new ginormous light fixture that hangs above it (I love IKEA!) - I am amazed how inspired one can become when you know someone as style savvy as Matthew Mead will be photographing your home. So inspired, in fact, that you just might wake at dawn on the day of his arrival and decide to begin a spontaneous bathroom make-over, even though the bathroom is not on the list of rooms to be photographed! It seemed not to matter to me that my floor had not been cleaned and no surfaces dusted in many days due to a five-story deadline the day before for another magazine. Sometimes a creative spark just overrides good, old-fashioned common sense!


(Before):



(After):





I had been mulling over a particular wallpaper and finally picked it up at Home Depot and decided it would look best as a feature wall of sorts (read: I am too lazy to paper more than one wall when matching is required) in our main bathroom. Then I swung by the paint department and selected a seriously sunny spray paint to revive my chandelier, toilet paper holder (whose finish was in critical condition) and a cheap little table I picked up at Wicker Emporium five years ago. 


(Light, before):





After:



The result? Well, a couple of hours of wallpapering, a quick spray painting job, and a new shower curtain (purchased at Cost Plus World Market in Phoenix, AZ.)  - in between many loads of laundry, dusting, sweeping and vacuuming - and I completed my poorly timed but ultimately rewarding bathroom make-over. 


How did I spend my money?


$40 = wallpaper (one double roll: Home Depot)
$10 =  spray paint for chandelier, small table, and toilet paper holder.
$15 = shower curtain 


What about you? 
What is the least you have spent on a room make-over?

Live...with Regis, Kelly and Me!

My big brush with celebrities occurred on Tuesday on Prince Edward Island where Regis and Kelly were on location filming their show. My amazing and generous brother-in-law, an important fellow at CTV in Toronto scored us tickets and I naturally took my celebrity seeking mum and gave the extra tickets to two friends who brought along their sisters. It was, in a word, a BLAST! Well-organized, exciting and the perfect way to spend a hot summer's day pretending you have no responsibilities in the real world...escapism at its best!






(Gelman) 



(Regis and Kelly: her dress was by Stella McCartney and it was stunning!)







(my friend, Debbie)


My mum has always wished to see a real live "star" and we joke that it is on her "bucket list." Well, she got her wish:


We saw ELEVEN!!


John Corbett (from Sex and the City and My Bog Fat Greek Wedding), Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna, Elisha Cuthbert (from 24 and who knows what else, but she has a hot hockey player boyfriend who was reportedly there but I missed seeing); Caroline Rhea (a comedian and very funny!); Bo Derek, who whizzed by us on a golf cart with John Corbett, her luvah; Ben Mulroney (he needs to ditch his creepy hair like his dad's) from e-Talk Canada; Regis; Kelly and their "side-kick" Gelman, who was looking kinda fine, I might add...who knew? Oh yeah, I almost forgot: I was thisclose to the lead singer of One Republic, Ryan Tedder, and they performed their hit song, All the Right Moves. It was sa-weet...!
 



And other band members (I won't pretend to know who they are...I'm a lead singer groupie):


 
How did we get so close? Well, because we couldn't bring ourselves to wait in the line-up for the next show (we had tickets),my mum and I acted like groupies and splayed ourselves against a back fence which, to our amazement, was the exact way the crew led the celebrities back to their trailers!



Would you want to get back into this line in blazing heat and humidity:




We didn't either.

In our new spot, the celebrities would drive by us on the golf carts and we would yell their name and I would get a dud photo of the back of them or (worse) a crew member, with my stupid camera like this:


(Kelly is the gorgeous blond with the perfectly tanned back. Her daughter was beside her)

Funny thing was, there were very few people who were clued into this location and we couldn't believe our luck!


Next up on the bucket list, apparently, is white water rafting. No matter that my mother cannot swim. I am so making one of my brothers take her on that adventure!


What's on your bucket list?!

Hello,

I just stumbled across your blog and thought that you could assist me in verifying the meaning of my tattoo. I did them myself late one night a couple years back while apprenticing at a tattoo parlor.

Thanks

J. S.



First of all, the top character 苦 is upside down. Bottom characters 阿呆 means "fool, idiot".

The tattoo is very fitting & means "bitter [or suffering] idiot".Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/2010/07/

Sanna is done, you guys

I know the label of this post says "In progress: Sanna" but don't let labels fool you, dear readers, this backpiece is in fact... finished.
Yes, you read that right, a finished backpiece.
A rare occasion indeed, and we're grateful to the always cheerful trooper, and bringer of Swedish strawberries, Sanna, for not being an Adolf Quitler!


This is actually her second session in less than a week, so this picture is a bit of a half healed/half almost healed/half fresh mess

Fully healed pictures coming in October


The whole thing took about a year, almost to the date, and by choosing the before mentioned Sanna label in the dropdown menu to your right, you can see the the progress from drawing to finished tattoo.
I tried to document it as good as i could, and i only missed a couple of sessions.

Anyway, congratulations to both Allan and Sanna, you guys rock!Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/2010/07/

Hey,

I saw your blog on Mental Floss and thought you could help.

I have a tattoo, it's supposed to be kanji for hope, but I haven't been able to find a symbol that matches it and has the same meaning.

Actually, I haven't been able to find the symbol at all.

Is there anyway you might be able to tell me?

Thanks in advance,

Paul W.

Sweet Trailers...

Enjoy Cupcakes. 


Well, that is a no-brainer, right? But serving cupcakes from an adorable vintage trailer? Well, that idea is the brainchild of Enjoy Cupcakes owners, Amber Joy and Kevin Vander Vlietwhere. Serving both the Santa Ynez and Santa Barbara Counties, the appeal of this business model is a sweet success!


And surely only Kansas can have a gem like this:



Fresher Than Fresh Sno Cones,  located in Kansas City, serves up 100% natural sno cones. So not only do they cool you off, but they are actually good for you, too! 
And one in my neck of the woods, sort of, is this veggie stand on Prince Edward Island. Step inside and select your favourite farm fresh veggies:

Doesn't food just taste better when it is served up with a dash of sweetness and charm?!


Have you any nostalgic travelling shops in your area? Does the ice cream man still coast down your street or pedal up with his cooler filled with icy treats?


Do tell...!

Good afternoon,

I found your blog by googling 'What does my Chinese symbol tattoo mean?'

I was perfectly happy that my Tattoo meant 'friendship' for over 10 years until i recently researched symbols on the Internet and discovered that mine doesn't appear to relate to which it was sold as.

Can you assist me in a true translation for my tattoo.

Thanks very much in advance.

Ian



仲 does not mean "friendship" as Ian was first informed if it is read as Chinese. When read as Japanese, 仲 (なか), it is interpreted as "relation; relationship".Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/2010/07/

Hello, I found your blog randomly through "stumbling" and thought I'd toss my tattoo your way. When I got it I thought it meant "calmness" (out of a book at at tattoo parlor I worked for when I was young and dumb).

A few months later, a Japanese exchange student came in and told me it meant "lonely." So I just thought it would be interesting to see if you concur. Sorry it's a little blurry (also the artist used a tattooing method to make it look "brushed on"...and it's old at this point).

Thanks,
Wendi



寂 has multiple meanings when it is used alone. When read as Chinese, it can be interpreted as "solitary". However if it is read as Japanese, it would mean "lonely".Source URL: https://celebrity-tattoo-show.blogspot.com/2010/07/

Gwyneth Paltrow on the Cover of Vogue

Gwyneth Paltrow returns to Vogue on the cover of the upcoming August age issue. The actress and lifestyle blogger takes her star power to the kitchen and invites Contributing Editor Jonathan Van Meter to a personal cooking lesson.




Paltrow’s cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, will be published next spring by Grand Central Publishing. It is meant to “channel the ethos of my father by sharing the greatest gifts that he imparted to me. Invest in what is real. Drink while you cook. Make it fun.”

Hey,

I was reading your blog and it very interesting. I have been having this dilemma of finding out what is the true meaning of the tattoo I got in my teen years. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million.

Fernanda Inglesis, Oração, 200

Minha tatuagem é fruto de uma oração ensinada pela minha vó materna. Já tentei procurar em todos os lugares, mas acho que é de familia mesmo, inventada por algum parente beeeem distante lá na Italia, e passada de geração por geração e não é nada demais, é uma oração 'fofa' mais direcionada para crianças..

Significado:
'Gesu Bambino, col suo capo ricciolino, con quei occhi pien d'amore.. Gesu mio io ti donno il mio cuore.'
Significa:
'Jesus menino, com seus cabelos enroladinhos, com seus olhos cheios de amor.. Jesus menino eu te ou meu coração.'

Minha vo faleceu em 2008 e não existe nada no mundo que me traga mais carinho do que essa lembrança, por isso transformei em tatuagem!! Foi feita pela Melissa do Tattoo You , ela fez minhas outras 2 tatuagens também, uma ótima artista.

Espero que agrade!
Um grande beijo, Fernanda
