Plastic Procedures

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

I visited Mimi M. today and she was feeling fine after Lady Miss Angora’s attack, thank goodness. She had a cosmetic procedure planned to reduce bunny tooth scarring, and since I was responsible for Lady Miss Angora’s behaviour, I took Mimi M. to the clinic. We hopped on my Vespa and…
…a few hours later, we [...]

Still Haven’t Heard from Project Runway

July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Why haven’t they called? What are they thinking? My designs are fresh and innovative and I’m so much fun. I’d be a natural on TV.
What if they don’t call and I don’t get in? I’ll have to start on my next collection. Where will I get money? What inspiration should I decide on? Valley of [...]

Calgary Aftermath

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

After all those fake cowgirl breasts in Calgary, I spent all weekend considering Mimi M.’s suggestion that I try lip injections. Bernie’s seemed to be supportive, but cautious. I don’t know if he wants me to do it, but maybe because he always wants to be the centre of attention and cannot stand it if [...]

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

My weekend was glitter, glue, and gorgeousness! I did up a bunch of stuff for Fashion Crimes. Hope they like it. Hope it sells.

Sophisticated City by Lucinda McRuvy

July 14th, 2008 · 2 Comments

You wanted the best; you got the best.
You can’t possibly want the worst, but they must be exposed in order to improve the Canadian style landscape. They are the musicians, artists, and cultural figures who do the most damage to our fashionable reputation.
What was my criteria, you ask? My least stylish Canadians are those in [...]

Should I Do the City?

July 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Ever since meeting the She Does the City girls at live rock ‘n roll karaoke last week, I’ve been thinking that I should contribute to the site. But what can I do? I know I’m not the best writer, so maybe I can talk about some of my Toronto inspirations. Maybe they’d like some [...]

Is Plastic a Girl’s Best Friend?

July 11th, 2008 · 2 Comments

From classy brunch to trashy beer, I was directed to the hottest Stampede spot in Calgary, Cowboys. Inside, I discovered the wild west, where genuine cowboys wore the most unfortunately patterened shirts and beyond blingy belt buckles. The girls wore t-shirts with messages such as, “Plastic is a Girl’s Best Friend”. I tried to [...]

Pancake Breakfasts? Make That Champagne Brunches.

July 10th, 2008 · No Comments

Well, I am pleasantly surprised! I was expecting Calgary roughnecks, but was treated to Western sophistication at a champagne brunch. I was scared about rumours of Stampede breakfasts with poor pancakes and subpar sausages, but received a brunchy invitation from a group of oilpatch socialites. They all provided tips on where to find the classiest [...]

Counselling Competition

July 10th, 2008 · No Comments

My mind was completely into bedazzling while I was at work today, so I let the kids mostly play around. Then I saw Sandee’s group and they’ve already started sewing. Yikes! I can’t let my kids be worse sewers than Sandee’s group. I’ll work them hard tomorrow.
