Ta Ta (for now!) Paradise! (Ottawa, Canada)

A long time ago, when MedStudentWife and I first met in the blogosphere

(I was attracted to her blog post about a Traveling Deep Fryer!)

...she promised me that if I ever visited her in Paradise, (aka: Ottawa, Canada)

she'd sew a pair nice, warm, fur cup-liners for me!
And true to her word....she did!

Aren't these the nicest fur cup liners you ever saw?

And they are, cross my heart, every bit as warm and cozy as they look!

(click to enlarge/see details)

She even adorned the edges with some pretty pink beads

and embroidered my initials in the lining!

WoW!!!

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times ~

I am THE luckiest dang bra alive!

Double-D THANKS MSW! It's been great hanging 'round you and Fidel!

Where am I going next?

Hmmm....can't say....BUT...I can tell you this....

I won't be needing the fur cups liners!

(Send 'em to my blog-mistress!)

... all the cool places my Ottawan Chaperons have been taking me too!

Except for this place wasn't cool....it was creeeeepy!

(Please forgive my blog-mistress for being so dang lazy

er,

taking the easy way out...

I MEAN

choosing to link this post to MedStudentWife's blog

instead of putting forth a little EFFORT

ahem,

telling the story from MY point of view like she's SUPPOSED to! Thank GAWD she's only got ONE MORE WEEK left of being a

full-time Beauty Skool student...

...and then everything should be back to normal.
Whatever that is.Personally,

I think her fellow students may have yanked out some of her

brain cells when they waxed her EYEBROWS!!!

Hoppy Easter! (And Beauty Skool Update #4)

Easter Greetings from Paradise! Woo-Hoo!

Looks like Spring has finally sprung here in chilly Ottawa, Canada!

And seein's how I nearly froze my DD's off whilst hangin' 'round

Fidel and MedStudentWife...

it's not a moment too soon! Actually, this week I've felt pretty dang toasty ever since MedStudentWife

made me some nice, warm, fur cups-liners...and I even helped!

Looks like my blog-mistress isn't the only one learning to use scissors now, eh?

Speaking of which.....
Tit finally got in on the Beauty Skool action during the

"Wet Hair Styling" lesson.

And while her roller-set isn't very exciting...

she was VERY excited not to have to endure pincurls...

and finger waves like poor Tat!

A new face joined Tit and Tat to help with the "Skincare" lesson... She's blind and hairless and doesn't even have a name....

BUT I'm calling her "Lucky" 'cuz she gets facials EVERY day,
and her skin is unbelievably smoooooth!

Oooh, and the blog-mistress got an unexpected lesson in "blow-drying" after spilling coffee all over her workbook.

And she did a damn-fine job too!

Just look at all that volume she achieved!

I'm so proud, I could almost forgive her for not posting ANYTHING on my blog last week!

(almost)

Another Weekend In Paradise (And Beauty Skool Update #3)

Amazingly enough...

during her FIRST WEEK in Beauty Skool,

not only was my blog-mistress allowed to real scissors

on actual hair ...but the next week they trusted her to mix chemicals and give Tat a perm!

Which fortunately turned out looking like this...

AND NOT LIKE THIS!...

ACK!

(The blog-mistress circa 1980)

Meanwhile....as for me...
My Ottawan Chaperons have been busy exposing me to life in Canada...

and, brrrrrrr....it sure is nippy in Paradise!

Thank goodness Fidel showed me the view from inside the car!
And by the professional manner in which he touched my sensitive underwires,
I can tell he's gonna make a fine doctor someday...just as long as he remembers to keep his hands warm!

His wife, however, has FREEZING cold hands!
So I'm really glad she remembered her gloves!
Too bad she forgot her sunglasses though, eh?

Please check out Another Day In Paradise to see MORE about my adventures in Ottawa (aka: Paradise, even thought it's realllllly cold!)

Work Work WORK! (And Beauty Skool Update #2)

My Blog-Mistress just loves the creative names ya'll suggested for her Beauty Skool mannequin heads, but since she left the decision up to me...

I just had to go with TIT and TAT... ingeniously supplied by my

Favorite Canadian Redneck, Crusty (aka: Robert)

Double-D THANKS my ol' friend! I knew I could count on you!

(And your delivishly-dirty mind!)

( . )( . )

Tit's kinda shy...so Tat's up first!

Here she is

Before

During

& After

my blog-mistress's 1st attempt at a layered haircut.

Which took ONLY FIVE HOURS

Yeah.

It's kinda uneven too...

Hmmm, maybe she should consider specializing in

"asymmetrical" haircuts?

Meanwhile...as for moi...

I'm still hanging around in "Paradise"

Helping Med Student, Fidel, study for his exams...

And looking all over the dang house for the liquor cabinet

helping his Wife dust the furniture!

Phew! All of this WORK is really making me THIRSTY!

What A Couple Of Head Cases! (Beauty Skool Update #1)

Today was my blog-mistress's second day of Beauty Skool...

and so far, so good!

(Except for dousing her teacher with water during a shampoo lesson...ooops!)

CHECK IT OUT:

Here are the lovely mannequin heads my blog-mistress will be torturing

practicing her soon-to-be-acquired skills upon! She was very excited about getting her heads until...

she was told that they usually arrive (from "somewhere overseas")

sporting a combination of human and Yak hair

with dead lice clinging to the strands!

(Oh. My. GAWD!!)

So after careful scrutiny (and a queasy stomach)

she was THRILLED....

to discover that her heads have

100% human, 0% Yak, AND totally lice free hair!

But...they also don't have names!

But I told my blog-mistress not to worry 'cuz

I bet MY READERS would be happy to call them names!

Won't you?!!

Please submit your name suggestions in my comment box...my blog-mistress will be oh-so-grateful...and promises to keep us all updated on her progress in Beauty Skool...which for SOME STRANGE REASON, I think is gonna be pretty dang entertaining...HA!

Meanwhile...as for moi....

I'm just hanging around in Paradise,

getting acquainted with the Dishwasher

(Top Rack, naturally) ......and Vacuum Cleaner

(which sucks, actually.)

And waiting for MedStudentWife to finish making my fur cup liners!

So, stay tuned for more about that!
