Leaving Las Vegas

August 29th, 2008 · No Comments

I left the Fashion Mafia (and my underworld fashion heart) in Las Vegas. As much as I wanted to learn more about the secret organization and possibly join it, I decided that I enjoy my life very much. As much as I admired the woman I met and craved her status, wealth, and suit, I […]

Camp Ends with a Fantastic Photoshoot

August 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Wow! I lasted at one job through the entire summer! Who would’ve thought? Not me! I never, ever thought I’d like it so much. And I never ever even fathomed that I’d get my collection done. I should have thought of using the kids sooner, though, so I wouldn’t have made them work so hard. […]

Mafia Mess

August 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Despite our secrecy, someone discovered my mafia maven meeting.
I knew we were exposed when I discovered the dreaded Ultimate Fashion Threat on my suite’s Noguchi table this morning. It was so dreadful, I can barely think of it without gasping in horror. The vision haunted me all day: Replicas of my American Express Gold Card […]

Toronto’s It Girls and It Boys

August 28th, 2008 · No Comments

In EYE this week, Kate Carraway wrote about Toronto’s lack of buzzworthy media players and I think she’s wrong. There are tons and tons of interesting, cool people here!
First, there’s Sandee, Elmo, and me. We’re totally the funnest, most creative people ever.
Then there’s a bunch of other neat people. Instead of complaining that we […]

The Fashion Mafia

August 27th, 2008 · No Comments

I knew I was a good reporter, but I didn’t realize I was so good that I uncovered valuable information proving that the fabled Fashion Mafia actually exists.
Stories about the nefarious, top-secret gang circulated among the fashionable crowd ever since French couturiers draped Marie Antoinette in nothing but the creme de la creme of garments. […]

Everything’s Coming Up Photoshoot

August 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Wow! I’m so good. The photoshoot’s gonna rock!
I had the kids scout locations and we even had a model call! The kids loved it, even though they had to stay late. Some even came to my studio after to choose the best model. They had a blast and were pretending to be America’s Next Top […]

What Happens in Vegas Never Happens at Other Fashion Events

August 26th, 2008 · No Comments

Due to its extremely low level of sophistication, Las Vegas will never be my favourite city. Yet every six months, I jet in to judge the next hot retail trends. I owe my readers the latest fashion news before it happens and the Magic Tradeshow is the best gauge for what they will see in […]

Lookbook Checklist

August 26th, 2008 · No Comments

Okay, so what do I need for my lookbook?
Clothes? Check.
Photographer? Nope. Well, maybe Elmo. He’s a great photographer. He takes really good shots whenever we’re out. I’ll bet he’ll do it.
Model? I called a bunch of modeling agencies and I can’t afford any of the really good models, so I’ll have to use a […]

Rebel Rabbit

August 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Since Lady Miss Angora has been so moody, I thought she would perk up with a television interview.
I accepted Fiona’s invitation to have us on Celebrity Pets. Unfortunately, it didn’t go so well.
Lady Miss Angora wasn’t her usual self and sulked in front of the camera and attacked Fiona while I stepped out to […]

Sandee’s Back

August 25th, 2008 · No Comments

Sandee returned to work today. Weird. Project Runway Canada couldn’t have ended filming. And Sandee’s too good a designer to get kicked off. Wonder what happened?
But not enough to talk to her. I’m too busy planning my lookbook.
