If you live in and around the Winnipeg area, and are into doing whatever to your hair, give us a call! We are looking for models. If you have medium to long hair and are okay with lightening your locks call us at 204-414-9023.
We are looking to do our next shoot in May and thought we should ask the internet for help with our model search. If you may know anyone who wouldn't mind their hair colored, and wouldn't mind being photographed, we'd love to meet!

Tomorrow is Easter and ARE YOU READY?! What have you got planned? A lot of dinners? Chocolate egg hunts? Sleeping in? Well whatever it is you'll be getting into this weekend, enjoy yourself and be safe.
I'll be attempting my first lemon bundt cake for my Easter celebrations and I thought I'd post the recipe.
Ingredients
Cake
- 2 1/4 cups (560 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cup (430 ml) sugar
- Grated zest of 2 lemons
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) buttermilk (see note)
Icing
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) icing sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice, approximately
Preparation
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Generously butter and flour a 2.5 litres (10 cups) Bundt or tube cake pan.
Cake
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. At low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the lemon juice and buttermilk.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool. Unmould from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack. Set aside on a baking sheet.
Icing
- In a bowl, combine the icing sugar and lemon juice. If necessary, add a little juice or icing sugar so that the frosting is just runny. Pour over the cooled cake so that the glaze drips over the sides.

A Poem
An excerpt from Two Tramps in Mud Time
The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, A cloud comes over the sunlit arch, A wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.
