life.

sorry i've been so bad with updating lately but i'm gonna try to get back into it again!

today is my sisters birthday so we're going shopping then going to eat at a fancy french restaurant. i'm staying at my mom's place this weekend and its so weird being back now that i live downtown toronto. makes me remember how much i hate scarborough haha.

since my last post, toria and i got a sweet apartment and its been awesome. living with a makeup artist rules... which means random photoshoots!! i also live super close to my good friends marc andrew smith and matt sims so i see them pretty much all of the time. they teamed up with me on my merch line so get stoked cause it's gonna be way awesomer than originally expected. i've been also recording and song writing like crazy. i recently got the final mix of one of the songs and it sounds so rad. the people i've shown it to said it's like avril meets jonas brothers... that's all i'm gonna say for now. ;) you might be wondering what happened with me and bunk rock... well let's just say there's a lot of complicated politics mixed with a lot power tripping. too much stress for too little pay for all of the work i was doing as well so wasn't worth it anymore but as i always say... everything happens for a reason. i've had some pretty crazy meetings and there's big stuff in the works. :)

makeup by toria...

other than that stuff, i've been traveling and partying like crazy. i went to nyc for new years... did a shoot and partied with zui. went to montreal a couple of weeks ago to visit my boy. pretty cool city but i wish i knew french!! haha that's my next goal... learn french. last monday i helped his band the new cities (myspace.com/thenewcities) with their cd and promo photoshoot and did a little bit of modeling too so watch out for that! i think i'm gonna go back to montreal next week to help with their video shoot too so we'll see!!

zui and i at our photoshoot...

i will leave you now with some things that have been consuming my life...

constantly eating mexican food, coffee, always being in transit, marc jacobs daisy, missing california, flight of the concords, will ferrell movies, cnn obama coverage, montignac diet, staying busy... always.

what have you guys been up to? what are you looking forward to?

don't go try to be a hero if you can't save yourself.

well well well,

hello again my awesome friends, followers and lurkers. i am here with an update as i obviously seem to be sucking big time on them!

incase you forgot, my name is tara. i do a lot of stuff. lately i've been working constantly at bunk rock. it seems to be consuming my life but it's a good thing. i love my job. i'm always surrounded by amazing, hardworking and talented people. i'm very lucky to be apart of something so awesome. we recently moved offices into an awesome cottage-like house. i have my own room which is nice and its weird because before we moved in, it had a T on the door and a weird blotch of silver sparkles. it's like it was meant to be my office. a band i work for called the new cities (which i'm sure you've heard of if you lurk my page) has been living in the house cause they are finishing their full length album (that should be out in the spring on red ink music/sony bmg!!!) and it's been a lot of fun having them around. those guys are awesome... but not when nick puts dirt on my desk as a joke but i'm going to get him back... when he least expects it!!! be afraid nick, be afraid! hahaha speaking of practical jokes, sabrina and i have been playing awesome jokes on jay (one second 2 late's tour manager) which you can check out on bunk rock tv and just on friday... him and shak from os2l got us back by putting ink on our phones, computer mouses (which brings up the question... is it mouses or mice when you're referring to a computer mouse? hahaha) and they also put ink on our chairs! those jerks... we need to get revenge on that one too. anyways, one second 2 late were there the past week recording their christmas songs and i had the opportunity to sing back up vocals on one of them!i'm sure it'll be on myspace soon so make sure to check it out. before that, os2l was on tour with hedley and they were also doing an lcbo promotion where they had a sweet tour bus and i got to go out to some of the shows. needless to say, it was a party. i've known those guys for a while so it's nice to be able to see them more often now. hmmm what else have i been up to.... oh i judged a vocal competition at the rivoli in november... i'm doing it again on dec 7th so if you're bored that day, come out! should be fun. i feel like paula abdul but less intoxicated. i have a fashion show on boxing day at savage garden also!! last week i got hooked up with PETA2 so major shout out to them!!! expect a PETA photoshoot real soon. tomorrow i'm moving out which i'm most excited about. toria and i got a sweet apartment downtown toronto and we're having a xmas/housewarming party that we might webcast... so watch out for updates on that. ;)

alright lovebugs, it's desperate house wives time!!! love you all xoxoxoxox

i never thought that i'd catch this lovebug again.

hey yall. it's update time.

sooo lately, i've been sooo busy with work. i love my job so much but needless to say, i'm hella busy. i never thought that i'd be working for one of my heroes and working here has already taught me so much. i was recently made the digital girl of bunk rock so make sure to check out the bunk myspace (www.myspace.com/bunkrock) for random videos from behind the scenes and our shows. we already have a ton of ridiculousness so it's only going to get crazier from here.

aside from work, i have been apartment hunting. yes, it's true. toria and i are getting a place together downtown toronto and it's gonna be bad ass. yesterday we planned out how we are painting and decorating and wow it's going to be amazing. i'm so excitedddd sjhdfjhsafjkh oh and we're gonna have a housewarming party too so watch out for pics and videos from that chaotic night.

i am currently in the studio writing and recording demos for my new band. the tracks are sounding amazing. i'm so stoked for you all to hear it. starlight starbright has been on hiatus right nowâ�¦ itâ�™s hard for matthew and i to record new stuff cause we live so far from each otherâ�¦ but i'm sure in the future, youâ�™ll be hearing more awesome electro tunes.

i also just recently joined forces with one of my fav artists and i am currently in the production stages of a new merchandise line. it's going to be different than anything you've ever seen before. i'll keep you updated as this develops mwahahaha.

speaking of clothing lines, rockett just released their fall line so check itttt. it's f-ing amazing. i'm picking out a bunch of stuff right now and i'm having the hardest time choosing which ones i want haha they are all so rad.

here are some random things that describe my life at the moment:

yogen fruz top it, boyfriend withdrawls, betsey johnson, juicy couture, broken phones, moving out, gossiping, good tv, crooked cops, the future, talking on the phone for hours like in highschool, new projects, all you can eat sushi, nights of debauchery, hair flowers, mayday parade, we the kings, missing him.

aaaand that's all i can think of for now.

i'm thinking of bringing back the webcam show but on a different site. what do you guys think?

ps.

ugh <3

time for an update.

hey lurkers and friends,

sorry for the lack of blogging. i've been way too busy lately to even begin to wrap my head around. my new job at bunk rock is amazing. really busy but amazing. it's nice to be able to get paid to promote some great bands and some of my good friends. i have definitely learned so much already from my co-workers and i look forward to learning more.

last weekend, i went to barrie to act/model in the new imago movie. this movie is going to be so amazing. it's basically a trippy fashion tableaux movie. i can't say much more about it but i had a great time and everyone was so awesome.

this weekend, i did a shoot for rockett clothing then headed straight for cobourg with my co-workers to see the new cities play. this band is going to be huge. without a doubt. make sure to check them out:

i finally had a day off yesterday where i slept for most of it as i've hardly gotten any sleep recently at all. today i am going to record some demos. i also start my second city acting and improv training pretty soon and my vocal coach comes back from LA this week so i won't have any days off for a while. being so busy is really draining but i'd rather be drained then waste my life away. off to the studio... wish me luck!
