I would be blogging right now but I'm too busy trying to figure out how to convince my condo to put a pole in the exercise room. That and I'm missing school. I hate being sick.

Alice In Wonderland Ballet - Queen of Hearts Pas De Deux. This is Awesome.


I LOVE this! I get that not everyone can understand ballet but this manages to be super funny and I think anyone could enjoy this! Plus, who doesn't love Alice in Wonderland?

Amazing Cheap Conditioner - Dove Intensive Repair


I picked this stuff up at rexall because it was on sale. I don't know why I did because I wasn't looking for hair products and I hadn't ever been interested in dove before but OH MY GOD. SO GOOD. I used it after aphogees two step repair thing and left it in over night. Its such an amazing conditioner! So creamy and moisturizing! This is the best conditioner I've come across lately and I'm so happy to have found it! You damaged/dry/frizz babes need to try it out asap! If your hesitant look for it on sale. Use this with a sulfate free shampoo (my fav being the Moroccan oil one) and your hair should LOVE you.

I Can't Stand Heels Lately!

So, maybe I'm looking way too much into this but I feel like heels and boots are being made terribly lately. I recently ordered these two pairs on go jane. I thought they would be crappy and hard to walk in but I legit can't stand in them! There is no flat area! I just wobble around!

Coming from someone who stands on her toes for hours in ballet, this is sad. Dear shoe makers, I love that your trying to make them look good but 6 inch heels is hard enough to deal with. Please make something we can balance all the pressure on. Thanks.



Both pairs are evil!

Didn't Gwen Stefanie look flawless on Halloween? I know how friggen late I am but I felt like pointing this out.

I'm failing all my classes in school. I am so upset. I love it so much. Please, please, please let my work be enough for me to make it to next semester. I don't even care if I fail then but I want to stay here!!

Also I have a bunch of gal stuff on ebay and other things too. I keep adding back so please go check it out!

Julie Pedersen - The Most Amazing Mucklucks and Legwarmers Ever

I love when I come across women doing amazing things. All the ladies online running their own successful fashion brands blow my mind. It makes me so happy to find new talent to support. This week I found Julie Pedersen. She has what has to be the coolest footwear line I've seen. Did I mention that she's also Canadian? Love this woman!

The only thing I ever wear is mucklucks. They are comfy, cute and well comfy! Now that Julie has made them even more awesome, I'm sure I will never wear anything else again.

She includes amazing things like feathers and chains. Just love it.

Oh and did I mention Britney Spears freaking wore them?

How hot do these legwarmers look? So versatile. If I could deal with heels on a daily basis I would order 50 of these. (Oh and assuming I had money)

Yeah and Katy Perry obviously loves them too! Who wouldn't?

I also thought I would mention the price. I think $350-400 for a pair of these is pretty awesome as store bought muckluks can be like $250. These are handmade and materials are obviously super, super expensive. Check out the splats if you have a pair of comfy flat boots you like already for a more affordable way to be super stylish this winter.

and of course her website is www.juliepedersen.com

Oh my gosh it's been forever! I'm so sorry! School has totally made everything crazy. I finally have my place and just got furniture. I'll take some pictures as soon as i have this sorted out.

I don't have anything planned for Halloween yet, I'm pretty bummed. What are you being and doing for it?

Small Spaces and Dorm Room Inspo



So, somebody at George Brown was on crack and let me into their dance program. I EVEN AUDITIONED! Don't apply late to school. You'll hate yourself when you have no where to live and no time to do anythingggg. Trying to find a place in downtown Toronto is a nightmare! Since I realize I will be living in a closet when I find a place, I thought I would post some super cool small room and cool dorm room inspiration!

apparently risking my life is not a big deal for a potentially cool photo

I finally got some photos with my pointe shoes on! I'm standing on top of a really high building here. As if being on a roof wasn't enough, I had to crawl up this 11 foot flimsy structure on it. I was terrified! Getting down was the worst though. Thankfully the photographer brought a very helpful assistant or I'm sure I would be dead! I took some after standing on what I can only describe as a 5 foot tin can. This was on top of the roof but in the middle so I felt a tad safer. Safer in the sense that if I fell I would only be falling about 7 feet. Sad! It was funny trying to go on pointe on it though. The metal was really light and caving in from my body weight. These shoes I also destroyed in the 10 day summer intensive I did. We did mostly beginner stuff. This was horrible for me because besides the fact the girls were taking my shoes and trying to break them in, every exercise we did was focusing basically on breaking the shoes down (warmups are not good in this case!)


My insanely high arched feet broke them down in about 7 hours with the added pressure. By the end of the week my shoes were so flat my bruised toenails finally fell off and I got a toe infection. Eww! I was wearning Bloch European Balance and loved them at first. I think they just stretched out and killed me though. My first pair, bloch axis just aren't right for my feet. I learned that plastic shoes with tmt or gaynor mindens are terrible for people with feet like mine. I would go so over on my axis, I couldn't balance at all. I went the whole 5 months I danced en pointe at my studio on the exact tip of my shoe and my teacher didn't notice until i asked her right before my last class. I then went to bruise them at the recital trying to teach myself to dance properly in horrible shoes!


I feel bad I didn't get to dance like I wanted to this summer. I started a bit of physical therapy for my insanely difficult body and I realize that before I get any technique in dance I'm going to have to get way more strength. I'm really hyper mobile and don't have any strength from everyday muscles. I'm hoping technique will come after I get more muscle. I'm extremely hyper mobile which means I'm overly flexible and thats part of the reason I'm so weak. I also realized I can't bend my ankles well at all meaning I can't jump or do turns well at all!


Has anyone had to put up with hyper mobility? How do you strengthen your body? Have you managed to overcome some serious body problems in stuff you love to the point where it wasn't an issue? I wanna know!

I had to post this photo. This is exactly what me and my boyfriend would look like if we were alpacas. HOW ARE THEY SO CUTE. LOOK AT THEM. I DIE.

Atomic Lollipop



I went to Atomic Lollipop a few weeks ago. It was an anime convention/rave/carnival. Pretty crazy and fun! I can for sure say there is no where else you can listen to PONPONPON while on a ride and seeing the person across from you on it dressed in a hilarious pokemon costume. That was pretty awesome.


It was here I also got to meet Naz, Steph and her boyfriend Choryin. Steph and Naz are close friends with Jacquie, the awesome gal I met at anime north this year. They've had their own gal circle for awhile, galuxury but haven't been very active online until more recently. I had totally given up on finding anyone into gal around me and suddenly there is a ton of people! Were all hanging out together Tuesday at Pacific Mall. If your into Gal and near Toronto come! A few other people into gal style are coming as well. It should be super fun. My biggest pet peeve in p-mall is when the shop staff try to tell you a Liz Lisa sweater is $300 because its JAPANESE BURANNDDD. It makes me rage so much because I will mention the brands when asking if they have any of their clothes and they still do this.
Can't wait!


Here's me chilling on the mechanical bull at Atomic Lollipop. I hope to get some decent photos Tuesday! The girls are super hot and nothing like the crazy online drama queens. They couldn't be more perfect!

Thought I'd post a photo from my latest photoshoot, I almost fell off a four story building, and had to crawl up this wall. Getting down was beyond terrifying! I lived though!

Spice Up Your Dance Wear With Some Sexy and Cute Everyday Friendly Pieces

Last summer something happened to me. I stopped caring about fashion as much as comfort. GASP. Seriously though, I'm still trying to get my head around this. With all the dance I'm attempting to do, I try my best to wear clothes that I can just get up and stretch in. Sadly, I just end up playing call of duty most of the time. Regardless, all I want in my closet now is comfy stuff I can use for both. Here are some of my top picks for cool and must have workout/dance wear. BE COMFY AND LOOK HOT!

I haven't decided if I want to try and make a pair or just buy them. Regardless, these fringed shorts have become a super must have for me! I honestly don't think I would really wear them to dance. This is like if I went clubbing I would throw this on wear aha.. I'm down for anything that is sexy and avoids panty shots.

Knit Ballet Shorts. These are seriously so cute. I'm down for anything that matches legwarmers.
I looked at these all season with longing at the dance store.

I hate how they don't have two layered legwarms as a thing. Clearly I am going to make some instead of putting two on at a time. That is just a pain, putting one on per leg is bad enough.

This long sleeve ballet top is not only super cute it has a stunning deep back. MUST HAVE!!

After seeing this photo I feel like a lavender body suit is completely necessary.

Over the past year I've developed a thing for like nude color tops. It's so bizzare. I tried one shirt on at a boutique my friend worked at because I was bored and it suddenly became a new thing for me! I love the light material and hood of this burnout dance shirt.

If a unitard is your thing, make sure to go for a romper like style. This striped corset unitard will totally make the american apparel bitches envious.

Pink Yoga Leggings. I took a hip hop class wearing flared pants like this, got my foot caught in the flare and fell. Hard. I didn't think it was a big deal but it must have hit a nerve or something because my vision started fading, then I started loosing my hearing and I thought I was going to puke and had to, blindly yell for someone to take me to the washroom after I had crawled to the side of the room. I ended up passing out on the way and woke up to a nurse screaming at me to breath in a washroom. Weirdest. Thing. EVER. This was all on bring a friend night for my friend. Needless to say I was way, way too embarrassed to join that studio. Moral of the story? Be cautious with flared stretch pants in dance. I want these, I don't think I would ever take them off.

Do you guys care about comfort? If not, are you not very active?

Impostor!


Why on earth would anybody want to pretend they are me online?

Today someone messaged me about some chick named avril valentine on facebook who is pretending to be me. Kill me already. Loook at the profile they have omgg

My name is Avril, but my close friends call me Keely. I use smiley faces a LOT in my messages :] I have been singing and dancing since I was three years old. And a few years ago, I got into modeling. I'm not doing this just to make money. I'm doing this because its something I truly love doing. I love music and I live for night's out with friends. I know who I am and I would NEVER change a thing about me. I am ME, I am REAL, and I wont SUGARCOAT anything to make you feel better about yourself. If you don't want the truth, don't ask for my opinion. I tend to flirt a lot. That's just how I am. I call everyone "hun" and "babe". If I have a crush on you though, I'll call you "sweetie". And dating, of course, gives you "baby". I am a raver and I party a lot. I do drink. I do smoke hookah. Get over it. I don't want to give too much away, that way you will be dying to message me ;)

Note to anyone pretending to be me, PLEASE, PLEASE USE BETTER PHOTOS. I cringed at the photos she had uploaded. Oh 14 year old mistakes, why must you be floating around the internet forever?

On a side note though, I read on her myspace she has her license. Fake keely has totally one upped me there!

Oh My God Studs, Flowers, Leather, Pink and White. Everything I Want In Clothing..

I think it's safe to say my friend Sharon is the most talented person in the world. Not only does she make all the amazing things of her toxic vision line totally by herself. She also styles all the photoshoots and does most of her photography. Somehow she does this while planning events and doing a million other things.

She's listing her new collection on Monday in her etsy store. Somebody, PLEASE buy me the pink or white studded jacket.. my closet and I will be weeping all day...
