I finally peeked at Mimi M.’s article.
But I only got as far as the title:
A Friendship Torn
Lucinda McRuvy and Fiona Newsome’s Fearsome Fashion Feud
I must have another day or two to process that my life is about to be exposed.

I dropped into Fashion Crimes to check out my armband display. It seems that only one pair of armbands have sold. How am I going to sell more?

The FASHION Magazine flashmob for Luminato was so cool! About a hundred of us got dressed up in white, walked into Yonge-Dundas Square, struck poses, and froze in them for five minutes.

The magazine taunted me all night, but I just could not even look at it.
And I couldn’t face the crowds screaming for fashion from Rocawear, Levi’s, and Bikini Village. Okay, I couldn’t face running into Mimi M.

It turned out that Mimi M. broke up with Brad. She used my thickheaded, musclebound, hockey-playing ex-husband to get [...]

Just heard about the coolest thing happening on Saturday: a fashion flashmob! FASHION Magazine is doing this thing for the Luminato Festival where a bunch of people are going to gather in Yonge-Dundas Square around 11am for an art happening. We all wear white. Cool. Guess I’m going to have to make some white [...]

While I was searching the computer for online sales ideas, I got distracted by Women’s Wear Daily and read the most annoying thing.
I knew that O.C. star Rachel Bilson is working with DKNY, but SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT DESIGN! OR SEWING! She even admitted it:
“My friend’s grandmother helped me make a skirt, and I was [...]

Sigh. Mimi M.’s exposé is following me all over the country and it hasn’t yet been published.
The moment I stepped into Montreal’s Festival Mode & Design media lounge, I felt all heads turn and all eyes stare, as though they were all just talking about me. I guess I can understand that people are dying [...]
