OMG! How have I never seen Gasoline Magazine before? It’s like the perfect blend of rock ‘n roll and fashion. I love it! I need to get my clothes in it. But how? Maybe I should stop by the offices and show them my collection.

Birthday Party at The Drake
December 15th, 2008 · No Comments
My lovely friend Laura, who happens to be an especially talented hairstylist, celebrated her birthday party tonight at The Drake. I never knew Mondays were so popular. Everyone was dressed so stylishly that I do declare Mondays as the new non-905 Fridays.
When passing the concierge, I noticed a magazine I had not seen before called [...]

My friend Lindsay just threw the funnest Christmas party ever. It was a Mad Men party! I never watched the show, so Sandee, Elmo, and I watched a million episodes online over the last two days and ran around to a bunch of vintage stores to get outfits.
We found a new store, Penny Arcade, at [...]

December 12th, 2008 · No Comments
It is the holiday party event every fashionista anticipates with tingles: Bernie’s Yultide Pride.
Naturally, everyone adored my miss rowe party dress and Louboutin heels. Though there were many flashy statements indeed, something must be stated for elegant sophistication and miss rowe embodies it, as do I. I prefer to let others drape themselves in tinfoil [...]

Okay, so before I could call Vivian, she called me and screamed into the phone, “Babe, I want to make you a star!”
She said that she had this great PR plan, but first she needed to see my plan and samples for next season. I don’t know if I feel comfortable showing my stuff to [...]

Fashion Mafia and the Contractors
December 10th, 2008 · No Comments
Today, I was ordered to visit Toronto contractors to ensure operations prohibiting Canadian designers were on schedule. The Fashion Mafia pays the contractors to make it as difficult as possible for Canadian designers to produce and ship their collections on time. Techniques include placing buttonholes on incorrect openings, miscalculating inseams, and puckering hems. I even [...]

Wow. I went to a really posh sample sale tonight. Cheryl Gushue makes totally neat swimwear and jewellery and man, does she know how to throw a party. She got a bunch of innovative designers together - Kendra Francis, Katya Revenko, and Kelly Kennedy - and fed guests bubbly and some amazing cupcakes and brownies. [...]

After meeting the delightful Melanie Cruickshank at the opening of Philip Sparks’s new studio, I agreed to meet with her to find out about her DaLish line of cosmetics.
She has a wonderful idea: an entire makeup kit suitable for all faces in one adorable little tube. The makeup is so fresh and easy, I bought [...]
