Music, videos, movies, TV and celebs…
April has been a busy, interesting, eye-opening, frustrating, educational and a few other adjectives that I really don’t want to share on the web kind of month. Although I have all these mixed reactions towards April, of course I managed to slice out some time to have fun in the city. Meeting with friends over awesome Korean food in the Annex, going to a concert at The Drake Hotel and oh yeah, getting to try out a 2013 VW Beetle TDI.
Cologne Cathedral is a must see for anyone visiting Cologne, it’s see humbling to look at a monster of building and learn about its’ past and how it took almost 700 yrs to finish. This Gothic style building watches over all the other buildings since 1248 and I can’t even imagine the things it has witnessed and survived during all these years. We decided to take a look inside and eventually get ready to climb the 533 steps all the way up to the viewing platform (322 ft) above the ground to take a better view of the city. Continue Reading
It’s funny how couple of years ago no one in North America would’ve thought Fiat would become such a hip and happening thing. Fiat has been busy making ties between their comeback car the 500 and what is NOW. From Gucci, Jennifer Lopez and now Charlie Sheen!
This is such a cool and appropriate marriage between the new Fiat 500 Abarth with its seductive ways and all time American bad boy!
Check out the Fiat 500 Abarth commercial released in the USA…
I’m obsessed with Foster The People’s Spring hit Pumped Up Kicks. Every time I listen to it I imagine a cross-country road trip in an old school car, a 1969 convertible Chevy Camaro.

Last Monday we joined some party goers for an intimate party held by Diet Coke at The Hoxton. The crowd was a mixture corporate, media, bloggers and contest winners all dressed up to bring back old Hollywood to TIFF2011. We were welcomed by super cute hostesses all done up in fabulous dresses and hair and makeup to the theme of the night. Even the bar at the Hoxton was dressed up for the night with a fun menu of cocktails that included Diet Coke.
Everyone at the party was super excited to watch Estelle perform in a setting like The Hoxton. To keep the crowd pumped till then DJ ViVi Diamond was showering the Diet Coke lovers with great tunes to dance to. She was AMAZING!!!
Finally, Estelle’s crew are out and setting up! Continue Reading

So we all know what happened to Anderson Cooper last night. NO???
After the show was over, people took to Twitter and Anderson Cooper became a trending topic. After a day of being poked fun at and being hashtagged all over the world, he came out with this….
All these videos show that behind that HOT, salt & pepper exterior of his, Anderson is a human and he just wants to giggle like a girl! Good for you, good for you!

The other day I heard this song playing at work and was reminded of my childhood. My dad had a really close friend who use to find great music and movies and make duplicates for us. Back in the 80s and 90s, those friends were as good as GOLD when it came to entertainment. Well, at least in Iran!
Finally I asked around and found out the song I was humming to was Self Control by Laura Branigan. I got home that day, and started YouTube-ing. I think I actually found most of the songs from my childhood, amazing how this thingamajig (read internet!) works.
Here are some of the videos I found, consider yourselves warned, these videos are tipping the cheese-o-meter on the red side. I LOVE IT!!!!
