While I do believe fashion is a window to one’s soul and trends are around for good reason (they do reflect our social, economic, and political times, of course), I do not believe one should always follow all the trends. Some are too terrible to even imagine.
Alas, some people have indeed imagined the following trends. [...]

Facebook and Twitter
January 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment
I keep forgetting I’m on facebook and twitter. I think I need more friends. Everyone else has hundreds and I want to tell everyone about my line, Velocity. Maybe I should remember to post stuff more often. That way I’ll be able to get invitations on time. I missed a couple good parties because I [...]

Use of Force: From Wardrobe to Writing
January 16th, 2009 · No Comments
A note on my dining room table indicated that I had a stealthy visitor last night. I suspect it had to be Mitzuki Honda, the quietest, but most lethal member of the Fashion Mafia. The note read:
Dearest Lucinda:
We notice you did not wear one of your new gifts yesterday. Due to your successful missions, you [...]

Late Night Lingerie
January 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Basher called extremely late tonight and asked how I like the lingerie he gave me. I do believe he was trying to instigate phone sex, but he knows I would never participate in anything so crass, especially when we aren’t officially together. And does he not remember how much I value my beauty sleep?
I did [...]

Sandee is Soooo Canada’s Next Top Model!
January 15th, 2009 · No Comments
Okay, it’s kinda cheesy and America’s Next Top Model is totally gone completely nutso and not really about modeling at all anymore, but Sandee is absolutely perfect for Canada’s Next Top Model. She and I are destined to be stars! Only I can’t apply for CNTM; I’m totally too short. But Sandee’s tall, thin, gorgeous, [...]

Mission: Rewarded
January 14th, 2009 · No Comments
Madame Rouge stopped by my Yorkville condominium to pick up yesterday’s package. As a reward for my successful mission, she exchanged the money-filled purse with seven new outfits, all from the best designers in the world.
I must say I do not mind being involved with the Fashion Mafia at all.

Project Runway Canada Has a New Website!
January 13th, 2009 · No Comments
So, I finally get to see who beat me in the Project Runway Canada auditions. I still don’t know why I didn’t make it on. I’m perfect for the show. But I do have to say that I know Jason Meyers and Jessica Biffi and they both are kind of great designers. Jessica always won [...]

Fashion Mafia Transaction at “Bride Wars”
January 13th, 2009 · No Comments
Never would I have guessed who met me in the screening of “Bride Wars” today. It was one of Canada’s most successful bridal designers. My jaw must have dropped, I was so shocked to learn she was mixed up in this mafia business.
She sat next to me and slid one of her beautiful special occasion [...]

Now I Have to Make a Press Kit
January 12th, 2009 · No Comments
Vivian told me she’s working on PR leads for me. Things like magazines and maybe some TV shows and stuff. She wants me to put together a press kit. As if I don’t have enough to do. But it’s a neat design challenge. How can I make a cool, eye-catching folder for cheap?
