Year In Review: 2018 Highlights

Every year has a combination of exciting events and uneventful days, but 2018 was filled with many memorable highlights. Since I didn’t document them all in detail on the blog yet, here is a summary of the most unforgettable moments of the year.

Highlight #1: Bryan Adams’ surprise appearance on the reputation tour

When I bought tickets to see Taylor Swift’s concert last December, I had no idea if she would have any surprise guests like she did on the 1989 World Tour. In August, I went to her second show in Toronto and I couldn’t believe I had a chance to see two of my favourite artists perform Summer of ’69 together. In those 5 minutes or so, I was convinced that every penny I spent on those tickets was worth it. It was unreal to see Bryan Adams and Taylor Swift onstage at the same time!

Highlight #2: I became virtually famous!

After building a presence in the Kim Kardashian game’s online communities with a digital alias, I earned a cameo in the actual game itself with my own video game character. I was able to design her physical appearance and outfit using the game’s customization options, which meant I could put her in red jeans. I’ve called myself “the girl in the red jeans” for over 5 years and this year, I was able to extend my personal brand into a popular mobile game. As Kim would say, I was so excited!

A Fangirl At A. Human

Earlier this month, I went on a birthday trip to New York with my mom. This marked my 5th trip there. A few days before I left, Kim Kardashian West posted on Twitter and Instagram about a special necklace that “moves to the beat of [her] heartbeat”.

What’s Hot In Disney Style Now

Walking around Walt Disney World, you’re guaranteed to see hundreds of people wearing Disney clothing and accessories. Some of it’s from the Disney Store back home, some of it they just picked up at the theme park, and some of it they custom ordered so their group can match while on vacation.

From sneakers to t-shirts, I’ve been wearing Disney clothes for over 25 years. Over time, I’ve worn more of it at home in private, but I want that to change. Being a Disney fangirl is nothing to be ashamed of.

Like I said, I can’t resist walking into The Disney Store when I’m nearby. I’ve bought Disney things all over Canada and the United States, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I pick up something Disney related once I explore other countries.

When I went to New York last year, I made my first purchase of the trip at the Disney Store in Times Square. I love that store because there’s a ton of special products with a New York theme that you won’t find elsewhere. I picked up a black graphic t-shirt with mouse ears filled with icons of the city, such as Times Square, Central Park and the Empire State Building. It features Minnie Mouse dressed up as the Statue of Liberty too!

In Orlando this month, I picked up 2 accessories: silver sequin Minnie Mouse ears and a printed scarf.

Movie Review: Landline

Landline Roger Ebert Jenny Slate

Between the popularity of Throwback Thursdays and the Timehop app, the appeal of nostalgia in the media is going strong. So when I found out Jenny Slate is starring in a new movie about a dysfunctional family set in 1995, I was sold. I loved watching her in Obvious Child and I was ready for more laughs from the Jewish comedian in Landline.

Personally, I find characters that work in advertising more likeable, but there’s no excuse for Ali (Abby Quin) and Dana’s (Jenny Slate) cheating dad (John Turturro). I don’t care if he’s a superstar at McCann Erickson. He’s a scumbag. Ali reveals his infidelity to Dana after finding her dad’s love letters to his mistress on a floppy disk labelled as Ali’s schoolwork. Their reactions then become the focal point of the movie.
