I know, Helvetica is soooo 2009. But hello 2010, welcome! I hope the year treated you guys well, I know the blog’s been light with content for the holidays but more is soontimes. Enjoy the new year, I know last year was an uncertain one to ring in, but surely 2010 is different.
 
This year I’m opting for a mellow celebration – no crazy outings interlaced with disappointment, no siree! Thanks for the year, what a year it’s been (biggest yet).
 
Blog soon,
Gloria

 
Merry Christmas everybody – hope you’re having a grand one and your holidays are looking bright as ever. Not to provide too much foreshadowing, but look forward to some movement with the blog. Plenty excited to have a week off to relax and amp up for the new year – it’s going to be absolutely…HUGE.
 
xoxo,
 
Gloria

 
Swapify Your Wardrobe happened a week ago at Proper Reserve on Queen. Goodies on the table, threads on the hangers, bags on the shelves, and Cazz shoes for sale made for a really great backdrop for the swap. I love the eco-friendly factor and the excuse for social gathering with some amazing girls. As for the actual swappage? I went home with a romper, two pairs of boots, a purse, jeans in an amazing wash, shirts, and loads of sweets (thanks to Carolyn and Wynne for baking!)
 
Have a look at …

 
If you’ve been peeking at my phone or following me on twitter, you’ll know that I’ve been working on vidjeo with Flex. Happy to say that it’s done and out the door for your viewing (dare I say, pleasure?)
 
A bit more on the video:
 

The clothes spelling out the shoot are my own
It was created on the 4th floor of unnamed technology-enhanced-learning building. Ahem.
Shot from the 5th floor of the same building
Laid out white sheet paper to act as backdrop
Logo was built out with many tweaks – literally an art attack. …

Hey Guys,
 
Lots of posts went up in the last bit covering LG Fashion Week (phew). It was about the only thing I could do because I couldn’t move for the last two days so I decided to blog in bed (B-in-B?)
 
Thanks for all the messages wishing me better – if you haven’t been up to tweet, I’ve been some kind of sick again (quel surprise) after overworking it last week. But definitely on my way, it’s not the P1G1 (H-D) scare I’m quite certain.
 
It’s funny, I’ve come to realize that …

 
MICHAEL JACKSON THIS IS IT. THIS. is. It.
 
Want to see the Michael Jackson bio movie? You can (and I can’t!) – by following me @ urbanebloc on Twitter. I’ve been given the opportunity to have one winner + a guest go to see the movie.
 
So how do you get in that theatre?
 
Here are the deets:

Pass does not …

 
Nope, no slacking on my clock! Things have been quiet online, but definitely not offline. I also was compelled to post this image because Gemma had taken it when I had passed out cold in Montréal, and I found it when doing a computer clean up. Thanks Gem (mutter mutter).
 
What’s this “offline” activity thing you speak of?
 

Learning stick shift owned me. But I’m going to do it again ’til I get it
Filming more footage for the kickoff of urbanebloc.com’s web video channel. I’ll give you a sneak peek at the …

Hey Guys,
 
I know I’ve been shy on the blog for a little while (by shy I mean inactive. Shy is a lovely way to put it though, non?). Truth of the matter is that I’ve been running around (as per usual), but things have been more swamples than per usual.
 

Got to check out a TIFF event, which was a screening of “Whip It” and Dragonette played (I love ‘em!)
Been testing out video with Flex
Went to a launch event. I have to say I’m not too impressed. Good relations is key …

 
This post has been a little while in the making – it’s the Jet Cooper crib! A tad bit ago @skanwar and @verneho journeyed off into digital experience agency land, and with that foray came the need for some furnishings. I’m by no means well versed in interior design, but when given the opportunity to choose sweet stuff, I’m all for it! Read downwards to see what we ended up with and check out pictures of their crib aka office.
 

 
Some of you may have noticed that I have some other writers contributing here and there, one of them being the very amazing Karizza Sanchez. Having started on her journey towards becoming a journalist (congratulations!) this ambitious writer asked to do a profile on me for newly launched Elliot Mag. I know you guys are probably done with seeing this picture (sign that I need new ones!) but the content is oh-so-different. Also check out in the Issue Your Best Friend, up and coming vid-makers.
 
Karizza, you flatter me! Check out …
