Weekend with Boyfriend. Wow.

May 12th, 2008 · No Comments

He stayed over all weekend! I got sucked into the niceness of the Robyn ticket. Wonder if this means we’re going out again? Am I ready? Is he ready? Or will he be unsupportive again?

Sophisticated City by Lucinda McRuvy

Give us your best angle, Darling.
Spring functions bring Summer photos and you’ve got to look good. In the age of digital cameras, Facebook, TMZ, and WireImage, the lens is always on you and moments after a pic is snapped, it’s on display for the world to see.
Cameras come out for warm weather garden parties, gala [...]

Gossip Blogger Thinks He Should Design Clothes

May 9th, 2008 · No Comments

My editor thinks I must interview Perez Hilton about yesterday’s launch of his clothing line. He calls it fashion, I call it banal. This is worth a fight with the editor. I cover sophistication, not bad taste.

Canadian-MADE Interior Design

May 8th, 2008 · No Comments

MADE hosted party to introduce Elsworty Wang’s first solo show. I fell in love with bowls knit out of giant-knit cable. Not only were Elsworty Wang’s designs amazing and trendy eco-chic, but the entire store celebrated Canadian materials and tastes. I fell in love with a tree log bench because it made me think of [...]

Feeling Like a Bum

May 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Still no job. Still no money. I’m feeling kinda bad for having to bum free stuff from people. But it’s so nice that I have great friends who will do things like get me into shows.

Killed by The Kills

May 6th, 2008 · No Comments

What a great week for shows! First Robyn, then The Kills. And both were free! I have a friend who works at The Opera House and he knows how much I love The Kills, so he let me in! Woo-hoo! Since Jamie Hince is dating Kate Moss, I hoped for a supermodel sighting, [...]

The Met Mistake

May 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Among the style set, there’s only one question that matters: what do you wear to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala?
I believe it is a perfect event to wear an up-and-coming buzzworthy designer rather than an established one. It is a wonderful opportunity to promote someone new and make a splash. This [...]

Robyn is the Coolest. The Boyfriend is Okay.

May 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

After the boyfriend ditched me at The Clothing Show, I haven’t thought of him too much. Been too busy. But he surprised me with a peace offering today: tickets to see Robyn!
I was amazed that he was thoughtful enough to remember how much I freaked out about her “Konichiwa Bitches” video last year and designed [...]

Packing Problems

May 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute. Stella McCartney’s travel collection for LeSportsac laughed at me from across the room, daring me to use it.
Sure, as a journalist it’s nice to receive complementary products to test and report on, but some are so incomprehensible and unsophisticated that I cannot dare use or report on them. This [...]
