College Street was so much fun last night! Or at least the alleys along College were fun!  I just had to run out of my studio for a bit, preparing for Fashion Week is too crazy.
Seriously, there was a gigantic alley party at Studio Gallery, which was launching Bad Day Magazine, a quarterly arts [...]

I’m trying to follow Lucinda McRuvy’s anti-rumour advice and she says I should tell my story to the press, but I don’t know any press except for bloggers. Maybe I should send gifts to Andrew Sardone at NOW and Rea McNamara at EYE since they both support local designers so much.  I really need some [...]

At tonight’s Greta Constantine show, clothes were as fabulous as ever, but they weren’t as newsworthy as the gossip. It seems as though someone is penning a book about a Toronto favourite fashion figurehead. Could it be me?

Thanksgiving was so fun this year! Usually I take the GO train up to the ‘burbs to visit my parents for a few days, but I was so busy planning my L’Oreal Fashion Week show and working on finding a contractor that I couldn’t do it.
Instead, Elmo had everyone over. There were 10 of us [...]

It is Thanksgiving, Dear Reader, which brings us to the first significant long weekend in your Autumn social calendar and signals the start of the Fall fundraising, fashion, exhibition, and event circuit.
If you are like me, you must have so many invitations, you simply cannot attend everything. You must plan meticulously in order to have [...]

It is almost time for L’Oreal Fashion Week in Toronto again!  I have so many deadlines and RSVP’s, I barely have time to think of what to wear.  I need a talented stylist to help me choose the perfect fashion week outfit - and thanks to Leesa at The F-List, I can offer a pair [...]

All the modeling agencies called to cancel their go-sees because they heard that I’m completely temperamental and out of control. Wow! News sure does spread fast.
I guess it’s time to try Lucinda’s method of rumour control by giving gifts. But what should I give to get back on everybody’s good side?
