Hey, does anyone remember Suede and that time Lady Gaga played there? Yeah, I heard that show lasted about 20 minutes. 20 minutes of AWESOME. Look what I dug up:
It’s almost like I was there, staring at her crotch.

LL Cool J once said, rapped or tweeted, “There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.”
It’s kinda cool when I stumble across blogs from fellow Lethbians here and there, like Daily Photo Dose and Lethbian Antics (long retired). Today, I found that my friend Martin’s cousin has followed my lead and started her own blog called “A Lethbridgian View.” Although she spelled Lethbian completely wrong, this blog is another unique take on Lethbridge.
Maybe this whole “turning your back to the wind” thing is starting to take off?
I met Jessica randomly one day on my way back from lunch. She was sitting with an acquaintance of mine, drawing patterns for her fashion class. With her cool tattoos and a dress made from a found skirt, I saw that she had a great style (and an even better smile). She’s pretty natural behind the camera too.
Occupation:
Fashion Design Student, Creative Thinker.
Where’d your outfit come from?
Nearly each layer came from a different place. The shoes were a gem found at Value Village, legwear from Ardenes, shorts from somewhere in California, cardigan and scarf from Wal-Mart, jacket was from Ricki’s and I got my t-shirt when I saw the Vancouver-based band The Jolts play…and then I cut it up.
Style Influences:
Everything: my mood that day, the season, friends, strangers, what music I’ve been listening to, magazines, vintage, comfort, self-expression…I was asked today how I picked my outfits in the morning and I didn’t really know how to answer. I just try stuff on until I’m happy, which is also why I can’t keep my room clean.
Something about me:
I cut my own hair. I like vinyls. And tattoos. I’m good with animals and children. I’m a BC girl, born and raised. I’m pretty weird, but people seem to like it. I like individuals and quirks.

First, I want to congratulate our Canadian athletes for kicking so much ass! But second, I would like to note my disappointment in that our *other* national anthem was never played during the Olympics. As a proud Canadian, I present it here for you:
In the last couple of days, I’ve had some readers email me some upcoming events in Lethbridge. So here’s a quick update of things happening this Saturday:
- Dance workshops with Jo-Jo
(previously mentioned here) - An Explosion of World Dance 2010
(also previously mentioned here)
Thanks Maxine & Stacy!
Lethbridge is full of great photographers (myself not included) and Jaime Vedres is definitely one of my favourites. Recently, he started a blog called “Daily Photo Dose” that chronicles the photos he takes day-to-day, along the way. I caught up with him to learn more about his project, as well as to share some of the amazing photos. Interview and a few photos after the jump!
For some time, I’ve seen this cute “cat-eared girl” about the hallways of the college. After some sleuthing via my Lethbridge connections, I was finally able to track her down and get in touch with the girl, who’s coincidentally named Kat.
Occupation:
Student, coat check/beer tub girl.
Where’d your outfit come from?
My cardigan and dress both came from Sapporo, Japan.
Style Influences:
Style influences are Harajuku street fashion mixed with gothic/punk/sweet lolita.
Something about me:
Something about me is that I am obsessed with cats, and zombies. I collect zombie movies, and my favourite zombie director is George A. Romero.

Back in May, I wrote a post called “City squares want your circles,” which was about the Lethbridge ’s “Plan Your City” initiative. Although I only participated in the “visioning workshops” (for the donuts and coffee), a number of Lethbians formed think tanks/circles and submitted their ideas to the city, which is now published online.
As part of the Plan Your City Municipal Development Plan / Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (MDP/ICSP), an estimated five hundred Lethbridge residents participated in City Circles, providing their insight into what it will take to make Lethbridge an even better place to live into the year 2050. In all, there were 48 City Circles who made a total of 55 submissions. This Ideas Book is a collection of those submissions.
But nothing I haven’t thought of already.

If you’re looking to score some LSD, Layne Whipple is not your man. However, he passed along a rare treasure from days long past – one that smelled more like old books than anything else.
This little capsule was put on the streets by the Travel and Convention Association of Southern Alberta, showing that people weren’t always so tight-assed (but I guess it was the 70s, after all). Hit the jump to see its contents! Continue reading ‘Lethbridge’s Straight Dope’
