I AGREE WITH LINDSAY LOHAN

I agree with Lindsay Lohan: I am bored! I am not sure how many celebs are willing to say that, but this rain…it has been raining on the east coast for at least two months non-stop…is making me bored, ‘cause I don’t want to go out in it. I am beginning to mold and mildew, for heaven’s sake!

From Toronto to Florida and even in the Bahamas! I went there for a break for a few days and it rained non-stop! I even got to see my first tornado up close, first-hand, but from a safe enough distance. It was out over the water! I could not believe it! It took about 20 minutes to touch down on the water and when it did, it made a huge splash and a water funnel worked its way back up into the air! It was incredible to watch! I was on the beach in the rain, just sitting, taking in the awesome power of this phenom!

But vay-k was over soon enough! I came back to Toronto to do some selling of my skin care line on The Shopping Channel. The people who work there are just great! They were supportive and funny and I had lots of time on-air to teach people about my skin care and why it is so different from anything else out there. Let’s face it: I know people think I am some crazy raw-foodist! But seriously, what is so crazy about eating everything I want, as much as I want, whenever I want to? I just have to be careful about how it is prepared. I lose weight, I stay healthy (it even cured my cancer!), I have lots of energy and I am anti-aging with the help of my raw skin care line!

I eat cheese now, which I did not eat as a model because it was fattening, or so I thought! I didn’t know about raw milk cheeses; I only knew pasteurized! And pasteurized cheese, even if cold, is cooked BEFORE we get it!

I eat some cooked foods. I eat popcorn, for example, which of course is cooked (how else would it “pop”?!), – simply because it doesn’t exist raw! I have to eat something at hockey games! But most other things I find raw, or seared or marinated or salted…but not cooked. (Yes, even nacho chips! And ALL online.)

But my skin care is a labor of love, I made it in my kitchen for so long and I started to notice my sisters, my friends and even some of my friend’s friends lining up on the days they knew I was making a batch. The stories they were telling me about the results they were getting was a surprise to me only because I’d been using my product on my own face for so long that I had gone past the new result stage to the point of maintaining my youthful skin. So, the changes in their skin were amazing to them but not necessarily to me! What was amazing was the speed at which they were getting these results.

Anyway, I get to tell my story on HSN every other month (will be there on July 12 again) and YOU can get my FAB skin care at a great price.

So anyway, I was telling you that I am bored and maybe I lied a bit. Maybe I am just a little depressed that my boyfriend, who is a hockey player, and I have spent our 10 year anniversary amidst him packing for another 10 months on the road. He has been hired by St. Petersburg to play in Russia and he will be gone for the winter again. Perhaps that is why we lasted 10 years! Absence makes the heart grow fonder????

One nice thing is that this year, I get to go to St Petersburg instead of Yaroslavl! Yippeeee! At least I can bring some friends and family with me….everyone wants to see the summer palace of the Czar! Le Hermitage, baby, here I come!

So, the next thing on my agenda is to tell you that I will be signing my new book at the book fair in August, in NYC! Come on out! The New York Post called my new book, Model Incorporated, “ MUST reading for the summer!” In fact, I will read it again myself! It makes me nostalgic for the old days when I modeled every day and when love was new…when I met my hockey player…. when life felt easier…It makes you feel young and in love all over again! At least for me…..let me know your thoughts!
