Sheep Shearing
Yep…what you never ever thought you'd see on a personal style blog.
A farmer shearing a sheep.
You are welcome.
First the farmer goes in and chooses "the lucky one".
They are all huddling at the back of the cage saying, "Pick her! Pick her! Not me!"
Poor gal is brusquely brought "on stage".
She is moved up onto her back/bum at which time I swear the farmer hypnotizes her.
Look they are having a serious private moment here.
The sheep becomes so relaxed she actually closes her eyes.
Now that she is relaxed it is time for a quick manicure.
Then the humiliation starts.
She actually remained very calm throughout the entire process.
And here she is naked at the end of her ordeal.
This is the pelt that comes off one sheep, it weighs 5-10 lbs. They produce one coat per year.
This is what gets stretched and twisted into what we know as wool. This was a demonstration on how the sheep farmers look after their sheep here in Ontario I saw while at the Rockton World's Fair. I cannot vouch for other countries.
So the next time you put on those wool socks, sweater or coat, remember to thank the sweet sheep that gave up her coat so you could stay warm.

FYI I Don’t Look Anything Like This
Today.
Booties – vintage, Skirt – Anthropologie, Sweater – H&M, Scarf – Mod Cloth, Chambray – Tristan
Today I am wearing fleece lined PJs with a sweatshirt on top, fashionable layering.
Carrying a box of Kleenex and a jar of Vicks everywhere I go. Not quite as sexy as a designer handbag and iphone.
I have on thick socks stuffed inside my UGG boots/slippers. Unlike these cute socks and vintage booties.
And I have been drinking hot water all day, in between gargling with warm salted water. Somehow this doesn't carry the same sohpisticated cachet as a glass of wine, champagne or an ice cold martini.
Yes, Autumn is here and with it the comes flu season.
Seems I will need to convince my husband that wearing a surgical mask while taking the GO train into downtown TO really is…
Très à la mode darhling! (recited in my best Zsa Zsa Gabor voice)
Either that or I need to start wearing one all the time at home. I can hear what you are all saying…
sexaaahy!

I can't stand wearing a mask when I'm sanding furniture pieces to avoid lead poisoning. I don't know how I'd manage to keep one on all day.
Honestly I don't know how the Asians do it.
I'm going to get my husband to ask someone the next time he is there…and maybe stock up on some masks.
Do you have any tricks to avoid getting sick when those around you are spewing out germs like confetti on New Year's?
Please excuse me now while I take my entourage of pug, kleenex, Vicks and hot water back up to bed with me.
Mariah eat your heart out.
I am diva hear me roar.
Well not right now because I've lost my voice, but you get the gist.
