And the winner of the most cute boys at one job is.... Job 10, signing up people for Numubu.com at Steve's Music Store on St. Antoine!
Mr. P: that means you! ;)
I probably spoke to at least 200 people on Friday, most of them male. Whoo!
By the end of the day, all of the testosterone was making me dizzy. LOL.
There was even a famous Quebec musician who signed up, Martin Deschamps. I recognized him as he was giving me his info, but I wasn't sure who he was exactly. He was charming and asked if the sign-up included my telephone number. ;)- no, unless your name begins with a P. (hahahaha)
A touching moment of the job was when I found out that the store's security guard, Ashley Vincent, is also a concert pianist. It should come as no surprise that the majority of employees at a music store are musicians in one form or another, but it was sort of shocking to see a man in a security uniform playing with such passion and skill. More proof positive that you really do have to work multiple jobs to survive as an artist, no matter how talented you may be!
Ashley and I got along really well, and he composed a piano track that he wants me to write the lyrics for and sing to! So it looks like I'm going to be making the 100 jobs hit, if I can muster enough skill and confidence to write and sing some decent lyrics.
I've always wanted to star in a music video... maybe I'll have the chance?

I got some press on ButtonTapper.com, "V for Vixen" Montreal Hour columnist Laura Robert's blog.
From the article:
Davison is a Montreal-based model and actor, and knows full well that most creative types need to have a variety of freelance and/or odd jobs on the go in order to make ends meet. As such, she has started a project where she offers her multitude of creative services to anyone with $100 to burn. She says there’s “no job too lame,” and will do anything from toilet scrubbing to filing, so long as the job fits within the scope of an 8-hour workday. She then documents the jobs on her website, giving short blurbs about what her responsibilities are, plus the occasional YouTube video to give you more in-depth coverage on gigs like her grandmother’s “secret” job for her. (SPOILER: It turns out her grandmother wanted her to paint her basement floor. She also has an awesome comment in the video about people who may want to have Aimee do illegal things, like acting as a drug mule.)
Brilliant! In fact, I may just have to borrow this idea from Aimee and put it to work for me here in Austin. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
Laura almost got scammed by her very own Nigerian, since she started her quest for additional $100 minimum contracts. Those sneaky errands scammers!
IN OTHER JOBS:
I cleaned for my Grandma today, because she couldn't get the proper paint for the concrete floor. I'll be returning to her house for that next week. That means: more great spicy insight from the world's best brazen Gran forthcoming tomorrow on the U-tube!
My LeisureRules.ca treasure hunt prep is coming along well. I really can't disclose more info than that without giving too much away about the hunt. :)
Annnndddd... I am just about to start my 750 word article for TheFrisky.com
La laa laaa laaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
Aimee.

NuMuBu.com: TODAY!
Music's in the air...
Today I will offically be completing Job 10 for NuMuBu.com, an amazing online Canadian music industry networking site that allows you to market and sell your songs, meet other artists and fans and share in 20% of the site's advertising revenue with a paid membership. It's only $29.99 annually to go pro: very inexpensive. I pay more than that to be on the Casting Workbook.
And that's what I will be trying to do today. I'll be at Steve's music store from 12-9 in downtown Montreal, getting people to sign up and hopefully upgrade to paid memberships! Whoo.
I gotta be a babe today. That means I have to put on make-up. And brush my teeth and comb my hair.
Yeah, yeah, gotta go,
Aimee

1920s Rag Time!
At last, my photo montage for the personal vintage shopping I did for Job 20 is roaring and ready to go:
I found a great resource on the web for creating your own 1920s themed party:
Dinnerandamurder.com
The site gives you lists of styles of costumes, music (WHRO is a great site for streaming, remastered hits from the 1920s to the 1940s), sub themes, and even a 1920s slang dictionary. Hotsy-Totsy!
Alex, Monica and Patrick had a great time at the party. In the end, the best we could muster after three second hand stores (The Village Des Valeurs on Jean Talon, the Fripe Prix on Saint Laurent and the Fripe Prix on Decarie) was a grey fedora for Alex, and slim-fitted suits and vests for the men. Monica wound up wearing the cloche styled brown hat I already had in my vintage collection and bought a sexy tunic flapper dress the next day. I think the best idea for any true period costuming is to look for weeks in advance, but I got the guys and gals what they needed to have a swell time. Remember: alcohol fixes everything. :D
My flapper headband that I slapped together with a glue gun was really lame. Really.lame. LOL.
Here's the script from the video:
It all started one evening when the gang started boozin' on moonshine. Boozehound Patrick dipped the bill in some corn, while Betty stuck to giggle juice. Someone was packing a pistol, and Chippy did her best to dress fly for the guys in her purple feather band and flapper girl rags.
Patrick the Boozehound kept tipping a few in his brown ascot, while Betty looked like a sheeba in her ritzy hat.
After too much tiger milk, Patrick did the Charleston in feminine attire.
The gang took off in a bent car to meet up with Betty's egg: they were gunning for glad rags and searching for the spiffiest of dress.
At first, they were sidetracked by futuristic clothing in red, blue, pink and yellow. Betty's egg found himself a queer lid that no wise guy would ever stick on his conk.
Once Patrick the Boozehound got to lookin', he found himself a silk vest, while Betty's egg tried on something blue that made him look too much like a daisy.
Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, the gang was on fire, Betty's egg looking his best and Patrick busted out some swell gangster style. They looked exactly as they wanted: Trouble boys, hitting on all eights. The gang made off with the loot and hit up another hoppin' speakeasy for some cool moonshine.
Here's to hoping you feel like a Sheba or a Sheik tonight,
Aimee.

Mercola Says: Have a Mission
I'm subscribed to Dr. Mercola's mailing list, and although I don't always agree with him or the health paranoia that some of his opinions inspire, I really liked this article on how to stay motivated:
1. Have a mission
Perhaps the single most motivating factor is the sense that you’re fulfilling a greater purpose. A lot of people have taken a page from the corporate world and written a short, one- or at most two-sentence mission statement, against which their actions can be evaluated.
2. Measure improvement
Personal growth is an important motivating factor. Set goals whose progress you can measure, according to whatever metric matters most to you, and keep track of your progress.
3. Make learning a primary goal
An important part of personal growth is achieving or moving toward mastery. Ask yourself, as you start a new project or a new job or anything else, “What three things am I going to learn from doing this?” This will put you in a mastery frame of mind so that you’re aware of the learning you’re doing as you move through your various tasks.
4. Examine your life
Ask yourself what gets you out of bed in the morning, and what keeps you up at night. When you get out of bed eager to tackle the challenges of the day, and lay awake at night dreaming up new challenges, new projects, and new directions to take your life in, motivation comes pretty easily!
5. Separate work from rewards
Procrastination comes not from the nature of the work but from your relationship with it. Change the very language you use to talk about your work, emphasizing that you choose to work on a task or project. Work you choose to do rarely suffers from motivation problems!
One Hundred Jobs is all about having a clear mission (doing 100 jobs for minimum of $100 bucks), measuring improvement as I create my evolving resumé and evaluate my job experiences via blogging, making learning a primary goal as I sample many gigs of many kinds, examining my life as an artist and contractor, and not procrastinating by making One Hundred Jobs the focus of my professional life, at present. My project has become a way of thinking, working, living and doing.
Nah.
I'm demotivated. I really want to be curled up in a ball next to a big, warm,
donut.

Great Granny: Drug Mule?
I went to visit my dear Grandmother yesterday to get her to dish on what job I'll be doing for her. Without further adieu, I'll be painting some concrete:
Her comment about the cheesecake delivery job was priceless.
IN OTHER JOBS:
It may have already been filled by another artist, but I am going to apply for this job:
Looking for artist to draw superhero-esque design (Montreal)

Hi there,
Im looking to create a character drawing/design of myself in a superhero-type style, to be used in my business card as well as on my website, which are both in creation. I have a lot of artist friends but they are too busy these days, so I figured I'd see if anybody else would be able to produce what I need. If you got the skills to do this, let me know and we could discuss the ideas and costs some more.
Please send links of your work and hopefully in the genre Im looking for.
Thanks for your interest, take care,
Phil ;)

I hope I get it! It seems that there are similar undercurrents to many of the jobs that I am doing. It would be cool to draw a man as a superhero and then dress up as one myself next month for my cosplay job. Double superhero job tackle!
It's a bird, it's a plane... it's my grandmother yelling at me to paint her floor correctly!

I am a photographer from Orlando, Florida who will be in Montreal December 9-12. I am looking for a space, not necessarily a studio, to do shoots of nude male models.
In return for use of your space, I will give you a cd with all of the photos taken there. If you would like credit for the photographs, your location will be there every time the photograph is used.

Okay, dude, sure! Come shoot in my apartment so I can line my walls with lots and lots of peen.
YEEEEEAAAAAAhhhhh.. not so sure about the ROI of that arrangement.
Enjoy black Friday, to all my 'merican friends!

86 Pieces of Crap
Here's more from my first meeting with my model friend Matt. I have to release the first version of his website soon, likely in two weeks. Until then, I have memories of watching him stuff himself, ever so attractively. LOL!
I have a feeling this isn't going to be the last stupid video we make. LOL.

Addictively Fun for Christmas
Rewinding in time, but ahead in suggestions for holiday gifting, here is my Speedminton video:
Michele wrote me a really nice e-mail and she told me that Speedminton is really big in Calgary, Alberta, through an organization called the Racquet Network. I should send my Mom to join! She's already in a boring old ladies' badminton league there. She needs Speedminton! She should start practicing now, because VICTORY IS MINE!
IN OTHER JOBS:
I hate to admit defeat, especially when it comes to my sense of humor, however, MY H1N1 HOOKER BOOT E-BAY LISTING WAS REMOVED! It was considered illegal as per a drugs and drug paraphenalia violation. (what?) So, for the second time, the boots didn't sell! As it turns out, a customer service rep informed me, "Your listing should be fine if you remove the prohibited verbage." Got it. No flu jokes.
Buy these drop dead gorgeous boots. They are killer! Sick! Viral, even!
Too soon?
I have now sold $50 worth of E-bay clothes. I only have $50 more to go. I should bust my butt to put out more listings soon, because 'tis the season of annoying holiday advertisments and intrusive festive songs.
Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it's grand, just holding your...

Mango Cheesecake Bliss
I edited the video for the cheesecake delivery last night, and it perfectly represents the joys of my trip. I'm really happy with how the whole job turned out. I think it is one of my favorite jobs to date:
Jason wrote me yesterday to thank me for everything again:
Dear Aimee,
Thank you thank you thank you for your help in making Katy's birthday a fantastic and memorable one! Everything was perfect! Your presentation of Celine in the cake caddy was awesome and the bow was a very nice touch! After I met up with you at Union Station, I headed over the restaurant to drop it off. Later in the evening, after a lovely dinner with friends, the cake was brought out and Katy was blown away as she definitely wasn't expecting her favourite cheesecake from Montreal. She still doesn't quite know the details of how it was all coordinated, but I'll be directing her to your blog after everything goes up so she can see for herself. :) Celine was absolutely delicious. I really have no clue how I'm going to top this next year... maybe two cheesecakes. Thank you for all your help in making Katy's birthday this year a special one, Aimee. It was a lot of fun planning this with you!
Attached are some photos for your blog!
All the best,
Jason
Here the photos:
Our first meeting:
All smiles:
The cake arrived intact!:
A slice of heaven:
My wish: for other jobs that are just as personally rewarding as the mango cheesecake delivery.
Clues: nudity, champagne and a hot tub. Followed by...
Blissful shared cheesecake :D,
Aimee
