First Batch News?

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments

The wonderful Ms. Morra’s latest career venture made me realize that I must pursue my first love: writing.
Perhaps I should combine it with my secret passion: perfume. Would Bernadette be interested in co-launching a luxury perfume site? First Batch News would be brilliant!

Project Runway Callback?

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments

The Project Runway Canada producers haven’t called back, even though I’ve called every day to ask when I’d have my second audition.
When I told Sandee that I thought I’d get a callback, she just kind of said, “Good for you” and then went to work with her kids. I thought she’d be happy for me, […]

A Sparkling Inspiration

July 30th, 2008 · No Comments

My lips finally deflated, so I celebrated at a luxurious Bridlepath dinner party last night (wearing the most beautiful Pink Tartan frock), where a director’s wife lamented the death of luxury.
From her Corbusier chaise lounge (no copies at her estate!), she bemoaned fast fashion, small-time designers, and cheap jewels, while wearing a Pucci caftan and […]

Reality Fights

July 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Uh oh again. Sandee didn’t talk to me at all yesterday after the meeting and then today she told me that I take her and Elmo for granted and only appreciate them when they get me out of problems.
Do I really act like that? I thought I was a good friend. I wasn’t the one […]

Mimi M.: Another Fiona Indeed

July 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Bernie’s gossip addiction always serves me well. It seems Mimi M. told everyone that she convinced me to get too-pouty lip injections so she could take over the show! What am I going to do with her, Fiona, and the show?
With that information, I realize now that Lady Miss Angora was just trying to protect […]

Project Runway Kids

July 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Uh oh. The campers took the style wars too far and started sabotaging each other’s work. My boss caught me encouraging the competition and brought Sandee and me into the office for questioning.
Sandee totally saved my ass and said that it was a deconstruction exercise inspired by Project Runway.

Canada’s Next Top Camp Kid Model

July 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Sandee’s kids and my kids are starting full-on fashion wars at the Design Exchange camp! I caught them in a runway competition. It was so cute (and a bit subversive)! My team rocked it best, of course! Maybe I should pitch a kids modelling competition to the producers of Project Runway if I get a […]

I Don’t Know What to Do

July 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve never felt this down before. I miss Lady Miss Angora. Petting her while going through my closet would always make me feel better, no matter what problem I faced. Perhaps it’s time to consider a new pet. Since chameleons change colour, they would match any outfit. Perhaps I should consider one.
Bernie and I […]

Sophisticated City by Lucinda McRuvy

July 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Dear Reader, have you ever had the worst week of all time? Have you ever lost your drive? Your motivation? Your direction?
In these situations, making decisions can be overwhelming and you don’t know where to turn.
Sadly, this happens to all of us - the best of us, even - and there are right ways and […]
