Rags and Mags

Mimi M. invited me to a fabulous post-Pride, pre-Canada Day garden party at a Bridle Path mansion, but I didn’t have an ensemble that would suit a movie producer’s backyard fête, so I scooped up Lady Miss Angora and took her to the wonderful rk Yorkville store. We found a luscious lustre jersey key hole […]

At Pride, there was a booth with a bunch of synchronized swimming guys who were talking about Esther Williams non-stop. I didn’t know who she was, but then when I walked past a garage sale in Parkdale today, I saw a book called “The Million Dollar Mermaid” with the coolest cover: a pin-up girl in […]

Canuck Style?
It’s Canada’s birthday again, which brings the perfect opportunity to highlight the country’s most stylish cities.
During my travels, I am always asked, “What is Canadian style?” and I always look to urbanites for the answer. We have Euro-American chic in Montreal, while Calgary is pure Western Wear. Fur is hot in Iqualuit, while Crocs […]

I cannot stand the large Pride crowd, but I do enjoy celebrating Toronto Pride with Bernie and all his fabulous friends at his Church Street condo. Bernie’s design sense is impeccable and he always serves the best champagne (and gossip!).
This year, I seemed to be the subject of the most gossip. Everyone loved my […]

I had THE BEST day!
In the morning, a gay baton twirling corp from the U.S. passed by, all upset because their costumes were confiscated at customs. They only had tracksuits, but then saw my Velocity collection and bought up most of it so they could stand out during the Pride Parade! Hoorah! I’m saved for […]

Now I don’t know whether to ignore the designer because her PR person is annoying or add the designer […]

Sandee and I made the best booth and got tons of attention.
Our booth was beside Barbie’s Basement Jewellery and Damzels in this Dress and we all had the funnest time together! I love all of the BBJ stuff and got a Barbarella pin. It rocks.
It rained, so it’s a good thing I thought of making […]

Since I am set to publicly debut my new face in front of Toronto’s harshest critics (Bernie’s friends) this weekend, I panicked about what to wear, so I went to visit Lynda Latner of Vintage Couture.
Her office and showroom in the stately Avenue Road and St. Clair area are clean and white, but functional and […]

Holy crap! I’m going to be up all night! Sandee and I are making a giant, sparkly booth display to get attention for our Pride booth.
Not only that, but I found a box of old sunglasses sitting on Queen Street, so I want to bedazzle them. I think they’ll sell great at Pride and I’ve […]

Yay!!! Thanks to Simple Plan and NOW Magazine, my armbands are a hit! I sold out stock at Fashion Crimes and they want more! Now I’ve got to stay up late and do more to take to the store before the weekend. I’m going to make rent! Woo!!!
But does this mean I’m going to be […]
