Super Late...

Ok so this is super late but I couldn't find my camera data cord for the longest time so these were all stuck on my camera. I use the 4 Gigs of internal memory instead of a memory card. So yeah... Well this year Valentines and Chinese New Year were on the same day and the Olympic started two days before that so it was a pretty "holiday" packed weekend so here are some holiday greetings for you.


Aww... Doesn't Bunny look cute in his heart mask.




The second apperance of the famous Lion Bunny.




Yay! For the  Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Bunny is sporting his hand crafted Olympic Rings Vancouver 2010 hat and read Canada scarf. Looking good Bunny. (Sorry for the bad quality no mater how much I fiddled I couldn't get it to look any nice it was just a crappy picture to begin with.)

Look forward to an ultra image heavy post on the Olympics. Coming as soon as I fix up the pictures.

For Further Reference.

In reference to Bunny's lion dance watch this, which is an example of the type of lion dance Bunny is imitating. In North America this form of lion dance is rare to see what we normally see is kids from a karate martial arts class (I have been corrected by and anonymous commenter although karate is still a martial art. Jeez I never claimed I was an expert on this stuff) in a lion costume. The kind of lion dance they do is more for parades and celebrations where as the style in the clip is able to stand on its own as an event. I had never seen this until I got Bunny's costume and decided I wanted to make a video of him lion dancing.

Halloween


Had nothing to do this Halloween and nothing to go to (not that I ever do). But I decided to invite the boyfriend over and dress up anyway. It was a total losers Halloween for the both of us with Pepsi and homemade hummus. So Colin dressed up as Dr. House... Dr. House Cat (Hahaha... Yeah I know I'll shut up now but I do think it is funny). I was a flapper. I found the fringe dress on clearance for $10 at a store called H&M there was a lot of them so I guess I was the only person in the world who would but a teal fringe flapper dress. And Bunny who is smack dab in the middle is a Chinese Lion. I found this lion dance tchotchke in Chinatown that had a solid roundish base and a spring up to the top of the inside of the head so it bobbled. Well I saw this thing and realized it was just right for Bunny's size and snatched it up for a couple of dollars. All I had to do was pull off the spring and base and pad it with paper towels. So to help combat the boredom Colin, Bunny and I made a special video. It's your treat for Halloween. It can also be found on YouTube which will give you a bigger better picture.
