…But none from my camera. I have been battling near-terminal “camnesia” these days!
Last night I got to attend my first-ever swanky cocktail party for a large urban centre “cultural event”! Upon the generous nomination from an independent musician friend of mine, I participated in the photography project Toronto’s Milles Femmes, one of the “1000 x portraits” series by French photographer Pierre Maraval. I had a very professional little make-up and photo session a month or so back, and yesterday evening got all dolled up to view the installation and ate tiny hamburgers and drank many glasses of sparkling water, both of which were tremendous fun!
If you check out The Making of Toronto’s Milles Femmes website, you can watch a small YouTube video about the project and get a peek at my photo — I’m the last face you’ll see there! Damn you WordPress, why will you not let me embed this video??
And in a very similar vein, this weekend Franklin Habit‘s 1000 Knittters is making a Toronto stop, and I’ll be in the morning group (#22, whoo!). Will I be seeing you there? Or perhaps later that day, for the Yarn Harlot‘s birthday celebration? What fun lies ahead!
But, since I cannot offer any photos of my self, my photographers (ha! like I’m someone fancy!), or even of own today, I’ll leave you with the fun little Flickr mosaic meme:

Aemmeleia's Ephemera 
Look at you!! All famous!
Whoa. Did my old student card seriously come up in a H.B. Beal search? Crazy.
That’s so awesome!
OMGOMG! Squee! I pass that exhibit every day on my way up from Union Station and have been scouring it as I walk past to see if I know anyone there! (I already spotted Esmerelda Enriques.) Do you know where exactly your picture is in the exhibit? I want to find you!
And hey…wait…I’m #21 in the morning group! :)
Oh I wish I could go! Have fun!
Thanks for the blogiversary wishes! Have a great time this weekend, oh, how I wish I lived in Canada!!! (and not just for the weather!)
That is hillarious. Damn right the yarn harlot thing, oh well. I am enjoying the rainy weather here in St. John’s so have a great time and tell me all about it when I get back. 6lbs of camel hair?? You will share of course :) See you when I get back.
