Cloud 10 Status: Forever 21 Is Coming to Ottawa

So I just got paid and I really had to suppress my inner hoodrat from gallivanting and doing HOOD RAT things, but I still engaged in some retail therapy at the Rideau Center anyway; as I made my way through I saw a HUGE line-up with a sign saying INTERVIEWS TODAY! I walk closer and realize that Forever 21 is opening on the first floor of the Rideau Center! I've been wondering for a while what they were going to replace the old 2nd Food Court with.

The store will comprise two levels encompassing 16, 000 square feet, complete with an in-store escalator. There will be three entrances: one on the first floor, one on the second floor, and direct entry from Rideau Street. 

Forever 21 is a junior ladies’ retailer known for its “ripped-from-the-runway” fashion. Like competitors Zara and H&M, Forever 21 sells low-cost clothing that it produces quickly enough to keep up to date with runway fashion trends. 

Although Forever 21 predominantly focuses on ladies clothing, it also carries a large accessories line, shoes, and some menswear. The U.S.-based company’s Canadian flagship store opened in Toronto about three years ago, and the chain has been rapidly expanding ever since. 

Why does this matter, well for me I could not muster up a fully functioning F**K if I tried my hardest and wished upon a star.  Ironically I just learned today that Forever 21 sells clothing for men too..:/ but I decided I would share this news with all the adoring Forever 21 fans out there.  Although MOST (Read: ALL OF YOU) are way past 21 I guess since you love the store so much its only fair to share the good news! 

OH AND THEY'RE HIRING!! GO OUT TODAY IF YOU HAVE SOME TIME!! 


Will you be shopping there Ottawa residents?  Are you excited?

Cloud 10 Status: The Boy She Met Online

Well I guess this mark's my big screen debut in all its .05 seconds glory!! -JERSEY SHORE FIST PUMP- Hahaha here is the trailer for 'The Boy She Met Online' which I shot my scenes for one day in December last year.  SHOUT OUT TO MY HOMEY SEKOU! Met him on set, we were disgruntled, non-unionized extras together he forwarded me the link!! If you squint you might see my leg in the bed as the doctor is talking to a patient..That patient is me and I die!  I guess you will have to see the movie to see me more hopefully... I need to do more movies its almost December again...

Anyway the synopsis goes!!

"When teenager CAMI WINTERS (Tracy Spiridakos) falls in love, she falls hard. Unbeknownst to her single mother TORI (Alexandra Paul), Cami has fallen in love with a boy named 'Jake' she's met on a social networking website. Although Cami believes Jakes a 23 year old college student, everything hes told her online is a lie.

JAKE MEYERS (Jon Cor) is actually a 23-year-old inmate finishing up an 18 month prison sentence for domestic assault on his ex-girlfriend. Having promised himself that upon his release he's going to do things the right way, Jake has begun trolling the internet looking for the perfect girl to help him turn his life around. By the time Jake comes clean with Cami, shes already on the hook—totally infatuated, she believes that she can help him turn his life around. Tori is not keen on her underage daughter dating a college guy. She and her cousin KENDRA (Thea Gill) discourage the relationship but only to push Cami further into Jakes arms.

Unfortunately for everyone, Jake's new and improved life upon release doesnt go as well as he planned. Because of his felony record, he cant get a job. To Jake's hoodlum friend EDGAR, Jake's an idiot for trying to go straight. Ultimately, Jake is sucked back into a life of criminal activity, and Cami is pulled in with him. When Edgars place is robbed, Jake and Edgar vow to get revenge on VINNY, the thug responsible. Cami witnesses Edgar murder Vinny during a fight and her life is forever changed. Deciding its time to enlist the help of her mother, Cami and Tori suddenly become targets of Edgar. Jake must decide whether to go against his lifelong friend and help Cami or let the girl he loves fall victim so that he and Edgar can stay out of prison..."
