HEART ON: MILEY CYRUS AT REVIVE MI
August 20, 2010
I Have a Heart On – Spotted: Celebrity actress & singer Miley Cyrus spotted at Birmingham, MI streetwear boutique, REVIVE MI.
The up & coming film industry in Michigan has been bringing in an abundance of celebrities into town, which are notable experiences for the humble residents of the Mitten State. Celebrities have been spotted walking the streets numerous times for the last couple years since Michigan Governor Granholm approved a tax break for film makers. The folk of fame, I’m sure, enjoy strolling down these streets considering that there are about 1/10 amount of people in the Detroit Metro area compared to Hollywood. The best part is, though, they have been supporting the local boutiques & shops.

SUMMER STORM
July 23, 2010
My dad refers to the summer storm season as “June Gloom,” for obvious reasons like it would be June, & the sky would be gloomy.. Although, the storms have been prominent way past June this year, making it “Not Dry July” & possibly “Aqua August” [haha]. I’m not mad at it though; the 95% humidity, 80 degree nights, & overcast is straight tropical, even out here in the Midwest. Also, swimming in the hot rain has been one of my favorite pastimes this year. It seems the storms have been around just as much as the sun has, the only thing that makes it considerable summer weather is that it’s hot than a mug! How does one dress for such a bi-polar forecast? I suggest getting comfortable in your swim suit, throw some golaches in your beach bag, & wear acrylic jewelry.
