Just another me day.

Currently listening to Janet Jackson's 'All for you'
All time favourite summer song, besides 'Island in the sun' by Weezer whic is next on my Itunes shuffle.
Today I spent the day all by myself. Which, I'll be honest- I do most days.
I just like my own company and i guess im just comfortable to be by myself. Nothing wrong with that!

I started my day off by waking up at a reasonable-ish hour. 1 PM, and like I do everyday, go outside and look at the view and feel the beautiful weather. I made some green tea and sat outside on the concrete balcony.





I know, I know, I know. You don't need to say it. The view from my apartment is amazingly beautiful.
You should see it at night. Holy shit its, in an odd way. Breath taking.

Yesterday a friend and I got mani/pedi's and a tan (he opted for spray)
and because I did white on my toes (before this was done i had the same white on my fingers)
and I wanted to try a natural look.
1st off - NATURAL IS SCARY
but recently ive been doing a fair mix of both natural and not.
So on my nail i believe is 'bubble bath' By: OPI
If its not bubble bath, its something with the word bubble in it.
Its a very sheer pale, kinda close to baby pink and this is done with 2 coats.
I love it, this may be odd but when I look at it I feel instantly relaxed.

I didnt show this yesterday I dont think but the day before yesterday the same friend and I (after the flea market) wanted to get semi-spontanious tattoos! We've been talking about it for a few days and finally made the time/trip to do it.
I couldnt get the tape gunk off my skin until after my shower.
My technique? Scratching the hell out of it with my nails!
It just wasn't working for me :*( but its all cute now.
Oh and the picture above is for all with a naval fetish- YOUR WELCOME ;)


Silly faces before heading to the tanning salon. Shit, I look super dark here. #PERFECT
No makeup so big sunnies are a deffinate MUST

White David Beckham 4 H&M tank, forever 21 with silver hardwear bad, and white (Alpine Snow By: OPI) nail.
Hella surprised Puff Daddy hasn't invited me to one of his legendary white parties yet. I think with the Juicy Couture velour track pants and gladiator sandles Id be a hit!
Dont you?


^ I'm late, I'm late. For a very important date.

^ the lighting in these rooms suck HUGE but the beds are amazing and brand new. The best part is their deal until the end of August.
$5 regular beds!!
Um WHAT!? Unheard of you may be thinking.
But i do not lie my lovies.
Google Galaxy nail and spa if your in the barrie area.
I hate giving away my beauty secrets or secrets in general but HAYYY some people wanna know what I do and use! So its fine with me :)


OMGAHDDDD
my boyfriend<3

It upsets me that you can't see it but...
Okay- Story time.
After I got my tat done I was told no tanning for a minimum of two weeks.
I am not lieing - almost started crying in the parlor.
I, being a thinker. Found a way around it!
 I ripped half  a paper card up and put it over. Not realizing that these beds are brand new and even for a regular one - super strong..
Left me a super cute (NOT) square tan line around it.
Wahhh! Oh well ill just use sun screen next time. Guess im not the smartest thinker after all ;)


^ You can see the tan line/ light-ish skin a little here
But on a positive note. Isnt this beautiful!! So happy <3

I guess im dirt ugly because as I walked up the this store the sign fell right over.
Even an object cant stand to look at me.
Ugh shit :O

Took a pit stop in Hell. Like the dollarstore, whenever I come here I spend much more than I want to and what I have on me. #EW
But this location has so many things. I <3 Shoppers.

No kiddies, my hair isnt natural . Deepest plum is my colour - dont wear it out!

^SEXY FACE

#GUILTYPLEASURE
You have no idea. Very few people I know, know of this place and I share it with very few.
Its not that I dont like sharing but like every kid who had a sibling. As a young child I always wanted to be an only. But like I said people want to know where i shop and what I use and thats cool for them to want to so I'm only returning the positive energy by sharing my favourite things with them.
I just noticed the picture looks 'mukey' #PARANORMALEXPERIENCE
Italian Bakeries bread is legit on steroids.
You would think Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to make a 'bakery line'..
You know, like a clothing line but for bread? Ya.. You get it.
SO GOOD and SOO CHEAP!!


Turkey kielbasa sandwich omgahd it was ahmazing and so was watching the rest of
the Lizzie McGuire Movie with @hilaryduff


I'm sure I wont be doing anything exciting tonight. Its a me day so I dont have to :) *proud stance*
Ill most likely go running because ive bailed on it for 2 days so its a must.

Hope ya'll are having a fabulous day/night and anything in between
:)

Lights. Camera. Action!

So, this my friends is finally a chance for you to see what I do, I guess- for a living.
Today was my second shoot for the documentary SegreGAYtion which explores and disects segregation and hatred within the LGBT community from different point of view.
Need I say why I was asked to join the project?
This shoot was so much fun and we all had such good vibes and energy going. Which if your close to me you know im big on.
My last shoot was probably a year ago and boy, was the feeling different.
Im not one to lie to myself, but honey in under a year have I ever grown and matured so much.
it's literally insane.


While filming I was asked questions about myself as a trans individual and about my experience on MTV Creeps and of course related it back to the documentay, as well as how I feel about other trans people.

A viewers of mtv creeps and a twitter friend of mine, pointed out how she loved my facial expression on the mtv creeps reunion and the whole season in general. So when i noticed that all the pictures my friend took were basically of facial expressions (because i talked to much and to fast for him to get still shots) I uploaded the photos to facebook, and then thought i should update this old thing and here they are for all of google seaarching addicts and my supporters viewing pleasure!





^boob check. One, two, one, two.

^in the midst of shooting, so hot I almost melted! Thank god for that umbrella and MAC fix+


Im sure here I was saying something along the lines of what Id normally say
"I dont give a flying fuck what anyone has to say about me. If i did MTV would have laughed at my profile and moved on to the next bitch."

^One of my favourite shots

^ Seems like a serious part of the conversation

^ Taking direction, like anexperienced camera slut

^ Done, done and done. Lets go EAT!

As the shoot came to an end for me and they moved onto the next interview for the day I was so happy with the way things went yet so sad.
Sad because i love working on set and especially with such great people like Christine and Nathan (the directors/producers). They've always made me feel so fucking comfortable and we always have great conversations and i knew on set it would not be any different.

Lots of laughs, camera angle adjustments and questions we were finished.

Thank you guys so much for a fantastic day.

Its been a while.

Since my last blog post, holy shit. Have things ever been insane.
I dont even really know where to begin either, but an idea I had was (in regards to blogging)
not to worry too much about the pictures just because I feel like I have to blog picture and it is something i'd prefer to blog but its not always convinient and I wanna write on my damn blog! So sacrifices will be made.
Ill of course post images but not as much.
Before i keep rambling.

I have my next shoot for MTV Creeps comming up in 2 days. The day before ill be shooting something for a challenge the contestants have to do which im extremely excited for and cant wait.

While thinking about the chance of me losing this show, I was thinking
"Oh my fuck! I need more projects or i will go insane!"

So I got on my trusted black berry and shot out a few emails. Ive had some ideas in my mind especially with issues surroundng LGBT. The thing with me is i dont necessarily move through life with the thought in my mind that someone, or everyone hates me or dislikes me because im apart of the community and thats why I feel the idea ive had is a perfect idea to push forward because I wont be TOO bias.

Another idea I wont yet discuss but if it works out and yadah, yadah. I think it will seriously be the most fun project i will have ever done..


Anywho, im absolutely dead right now and extremely tired, tomorrow is prep and packing day for my trip to the city for filming and then Ill be thrown in with the tigers.

I hope everyone has a fabulous day/night/morning whichever,wherever

Where to begin?

Hey dolls,
I'm just going to ramble and start where i see best.

T.H.A.N.K Y.O.U.

Thank you so, so much.

Before #mtvcreeps came along. I did my fair share of media related things. Those too I am so thankful for and blessed to have experienced.
Since MTV creeps i have done nothing but smile and cry.
No im not an emotional basketcase - welll kinda haha but what I'm trying to say is all the messages and love and support I've been getting from everyone. Is more then i can handle. I am so, ahmazingly appreciative of it all.


What bothers me is I don't know how to properly voice my love and appreciation without comming across as cocky or egotistical. Its a shame because as i sit here - again, crying. I want to be able to say in a way that doesnt come across as cocky how fucking thankful I am.

Pretty much the reason why I can see myself as comming across as cocky or egotistical (which I don't agree with, but hypotheticly speaking) I was bullied for forever and a day and to move past it and do the things I have is just another thing to reasure my Im doing it, I'm doing 'life' right. So to basically after all the days I never wanted to go to school I can happily leave my house and go out in public and smile with my head held high knowing I'm a good person and a better person then the people who beat me down.

I am one of the few transgender individuals and one of very few trans teens. Who have spoken up infront of a mainstream audience and have had literally 99.999% positive feedback.

I am so happy that people took the time to not write me off as an animal or an indecency to the human race and listen. Thats all I wanted was for the viewers to listen and see someone different and their view on things..

I want to thank the producer Megan, without her none of the cast members of creeps would be able to share their stories either. I'd like to thank everyone under the mtv building. As well as Nicole, Sara and Dean. Who were the hosts of my episode. Their kind words are still stuck in my mind.

All this support is extremely overwehlming and again I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.

I wanna keep going and just ramble about how ahmazing this experience has been so far and how i hope to GODDD that I can get past the quarter finals to show the rest of the world what I have to say.


Thank you, to all my friends I love youu.

xoxo, Rachel Rehling

And if I dont make it even past the quarter finals. This is an experienceI will truley treasure forever.

Mama I'm a big girl now

So, so, so. Im so beyond tired you have no idea. Yesterday I went to  Toronto for a meeting. It went really well but totally over the expected time. To be percies it was over 40 minutes im sure. Not a huge deal but a big deal because i had to see my friends!
The thing is. with the lifestyle I lead and the ton of people I'm meeting a day my girls are the ones I really make the effort to see when I'm in Toronto. Think of it kinda like a sex and the city relationship but with multiple people.

After the meeting I met up with literally my best friend. I really dont use that term loosley to me its very transparent but she is. We met up with another friend (who gave me the cuttest forever 21 faux fur vest) and had a fantabulous day. I did major shopping damage so I wont be shopping for a while.

I thought to myself if I'm buying all this furniture and stuff why not treat myself! I'll probably take pics and post it because I got really unique things.

By the time our girls day was done it was late. Maybe like 7 ish. Which really isnt late but we walked all day and I was up all night the night before and had to be on a greyhound for 8 am. So thats my excuse. We parted ways and got on the greyhound. My feet were hurting so bad and I wasnt wearing heels, I'm getting old too quick.

Thankfully people were up for having some drinks. We all relaxed and god knows what else! haha

Till next time folks

^mother and I
