Eighties Fashion Style

She's the pop singer seen jogging in Central Park. Madonna captured the style and fashion sense of generation. Especially teenage girls in the 1980s. Madonna is among the most influential people of the 1980s.

Madonna has always had a special relationship with the media. While many stars try desperately to avoid the paparazzi, Madonna has the power to manipulate the media to her advantage.

In 1985 Madonna ruled the airwaves and MTV too. Madonna at her peak was making music, videos and even movies at a fevered pace. Madonna had the media all sewn up by the mid 1980s. Madonna never had too much trouble from the paparazzi. She, in fact, seemed to embrace the photographers throughout her early career.

From her wildly teased and colored hair to the return of lace and fishnet stockings, her accessories were outrageous, and girls around the world wanted to be like Madonna even going so far as to add her trademark mole to their cheeks.

My first helicopter ride :)

Last weekend when I was in Canmore with Dale, he wanted to make my trip out West special so he took me on a helicopter ride :)

It was my first time in a helicopter!

I was really nervous just before I got into the helicopter. I used the washroom several times within 30 minutes before heading to the launch pad! Lucky for me, I was totally fine once I was in the helicopter

Dale booked the tour with Apline Heli Tours. I lucked out with the weather - it was a gorgeous morning. And Dale chose the 30 minute Mount Assiniboine Glacier Tour

Me in front of the company sign



The launch and landing pad



I got front seat!!! It was just Dale and I who booked this particular helicopter which is good. So altogether there were four people - our pilot, Dale, a lady from the company (to even out the weight in the helicopter) and myself.
I really would not recommend a fifth person in a helicopter since the middle back seat probably has quite an obstructed view.
So this was the control panel! The pilot sits to the right (here drivers sit on the left in a car)


Our pilot James S. :)



He's a funny guy :) When I got into the helicopter I told him it was my first time in a helicopter and he said, "It's my first time too!" LOL



The closest I'll get to the peaks of any mountain....it was breath taking. The pictures don't do it any justice.







And we each got a little certificate saying we did the tour.


This is just a quick video I took in the valley of a mountain. The video quality is rather terrible on my Samsung PL100. Towards the 20 sec point, you can see how there is glass behind the foot rest in the front seat.





It was an amazing experience and I have Dale to thank so much for that. I'm really grateful to have him in my life. He is so generous to me.

And my helicopter ride was smoother than being in an airplane despite my fears :)


Have you been on a helicopter before? Where would you like to take a helicopter ride over? A canyon? Mountains? A waterfall?

Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week as always was a major destination for the designer crowd recently. Boasting some of the hottest names in the industry and an A grade guest list, Paris is the home of Haute Courture.

Naturally plenty of press were on hand to give a blow by blow description of each days high and low lights. Now that the closing ceremony has come and gone the critics have given their overview of proceedings and as always it has involved an over use of adjectives and overstating the obvious.
