Designer Dreams…

March 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m running down Queen West carrying all of my garment bags, but they turn into giant white worms… They wriggle down the street and I have to chase them into the Fashion Week tents… The garment bag worms still have zippers, so I unzip and unzip and unzip, but there’s nothing… I dig and dig […]

Stylish “Celebs”?

March 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Do I really have to write more of this celebrity pap? I don’t even know any of these Degrassi kids anymore, they all look the same to me now. What happened to Joey Jeremiah and Spike? But my editor insists I mention more so-called celebrities. As if they have something to do with fashion. […]

All I want to do is sleep.

Drake Survival Brunch

March 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

I thought the Survival Brunch at the Drake Hotel would be a lovely way to wrap up the week, but no.
In front of everyone, Fiona confronted me about the TV show and threw a glass of champagne across the room. I almost lost it, but remembered to stay calm. When she goes crazy, I end […]

L’Oréal Fashion Week Day Five

March 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Thank goodness tent shows ended yesterday; I was able to tap on my laptop while lounging in my luxurious bed. I love working from home.
Finally received the phone call I wanted: New York Producer gave me the show offer. He loved my proposal and will send contracts next week. Fiona lied to everyone…again. He only […]

That was not how I planned my Fashion Week debut.
Everything went wrong:
Streetcar broke down!
45 minutes late!
Running down Queen Street with 5 garment bags!
Backstage insanity!
Only 2 dressers!
Wrong music!

The one with the cupcake icing stains!
Red-carpet gown didn’t fit!
Forgot to tape shoes!
Shoes didn’t fit!
Two models bailed!
Nip slip!
Different makeup than planned!
Discovered I had the same […]
