spending money

~Thursday, November 15~
What: CASCO 360 - A fashion show. A fundraising event by the management and business students of McGill.
Clothings by: Foxy, Monahmour, Voyou, S'Sense, 3 Monkeys, Olivia, American Apparel, Preloved, Waxman, Esprit, StyleExchange
My companion: Kim
Cost: $20

Say what? Sher Mayne paid $20 to just watch a fashion show? Watching students cat-walking and modelling clothes? Yes, I thought I was a wee bit crazy to just pay $20 bucks. So $20 bucks isn't that much but still!!! A fashion show? The whole time after agreeing to watch it I was constantly reminding myself.... "for a good cause.. shermayne, it's for a good cause. "

But minutes into the show, I was blown away! It's not the typical fashion show. This is way way awesome! It was more like a dance show. It was superb!! Dances from all around the world. No wonder it's CASCO 360!! For every dance, they wear a specific brand of clothing, modelling the clothes and dancing at the same time. Now that's what I call killing two birds with one stone!

Type of dances: Disco New York, Broadway London, Hip Hop/Stomp Africa, Bollywood India, Cheerleading Dallas, Ballet Miami, Lyrical Las Vegas, Hula Hawaii, Aerobics LA, Jazz Rusia, Salsa Cuba, Hip Hop Japan, Line Dancing Calgary

My 20 bucks was definitely worth it. I came out smiling. It was so so so so good! I would pay 30 to watch it! Hahaha!!! Finally something in Montreal I thoroughly enjoy!!! (apart from basketball la!!)

Today saw me spending...
2-way bus ticket for New York: $119 CAD
Winter boots: $50 CAD - I really needed a pair of warm boots. Mind you, it's really a good bargain. I went to a shoe shop similar to No.1 shoe warehouse to get my boots because elsewhere, boots are like 150-300 bucks! So yea.. I got a wind proof, water resistant boots!! Bwahahaha.. ok, so it's not a pair of fashionable boots but who cares about fashion? Keeping warm is more important!
Formal pants, skinny jeans, top from Urban Behaviour: $50 CAD - this is another bargain. Everything 50% off!! And since I haven't been doing much shopping, I decided to go for it. Indeed a good bargain. Instead of paying $100, I paid $50! Ahhhh!! I just love good bargains...
