| A summer thirst quencher from Granville Island Brewing |
Like the not-so-old saying goes "it takes a man with big ol berries to drink pink beer". False Creek Raspberry Ale made with premium malt and hops and fresh Fraser Valley raspberries, this summa-time fave from Granville Island Brewing consistently sells out wherever it is sold. So ladies (and gents) add a pop of colour with this blush pink brew and stock your fridge with this palate pleaser. Makes a perfect pairing with a smoked chicken, walnut & blue cheese summer salad too! Num, num, num, num, num...
If you have been living under a rock, been busy guzzling artifical lime-infused selections these last few summers or simply haven't tried this seasonal selection from Granville Island Brewing come visit me at the Langley Liquor Store (208th & Fraser Hwy) tonight (Friday May 25) from 3pm - 7pm where I will be conducting a tasting along with other GIB summer fave Robson St. Hefeweizen.

| Pretty much my dream closet |
My annual closet clean out SALE is happening this Saturday from 9am - 3pm. Hoping to get a lot of stylin' ladies out to shop my over 8 huge Ikea bags of merchandise from denim, to dresses to handbags and everything in between. Affectionately come to be know as the "Melissa P Closet Sale" my girlfriends and co-workers have always helped me clear out those "must-have" aka impulse buys and once-I-lose-10 lbs numbers that have (sadly) overstayed their welcome in my wardrobe. Bring your fives and ten spots ladies cause their is LOTS of new and gently worn on-trend items to be had for less than $20 bones apiece.

| The uber-talented Mr. Jack White (insert me swooning here) |
Rolling Stone Magazine's April 24th, 2012 review of Jack White's recent solo release, Blunderbuss, sums it up best when stating "White knows how to make women feel like stars, whether it's the ladies in his bands, the ones he sings his tortured love songs to, or the ones in the audience." I couldn't agree more with reviewer Rob Sheffield more. I would be lying if I said that all Jack's wailin' and howlin' doesn't make the ol' lady parts quivver. "I'm Shakin" is my absolute fave track off this stellar album and I can't wait to get the party in my pants goin' at the Queen E Theatre when Jack White III and his bevy of lady talent, The Peacocks, take the stage on Sunday night. Thank-you to random Craigslister Dylan and your fluorescent pink shirt & giant moustache for the tix!
