fancy dress party

I can't help it...

This is exactly how I feel walking around in heels and a dress: giant and awkward. Heels with jeans, no prob. Heeled boots or my highest platforms? Cake walk. But heels and a dress? Always a shit show.

Nothing compares to a purring pussy cat gracing you with snuggles.

Singles is on!

RIP Irving Penn

Watch this.

THIS. Iconic runway moments delivered by Alexander McQueen. One of the best "McQueen moments" happens at 6:20. Seriously.

sigh. this song.

Sam, Bill and Neal are obsessed with this movie. The fact that cunt Cindy didn't like it was sure sign she was NOT the girl for Sam.

I've been busy

It's Karl's birthday! Coincidentally, just moments ago, I wrapped up a Karl Lagerfeld special for FT & CTV which airs this Sunday at 5:30. Check it out in High Def if you have the power. There are a few moments when he really opens up and gets personal with Jeanne. He also tells her about how his mum would call him fat. I feel like I've spent the last 4 weeks with the man. He's pretty extraordinary.

When cleaning out her basement, my mum recently found a copy of a letter I wrote (or rather, PRINTED... I was really into ALL CAPS printing) to the Ontario Premier in 1990.

What a fuckin' hippie.

Tim scanned the letter for me and suggested I pair it with this Bruce Cockburn vid:

Thanks, Dan Aykroyd

So I bought this crystal head vodka at the duty free shop crossing the border into Detroit a few weeks ago. I just thought it was cool looking. Tonight I visited its website. I was shocked to learn that I have in my possession something waaaaay more powerful then good vodka. I have:

"a touchstone and replica which allows us, if we wish, to connect to the message of the Crystal Heads' purpose on earth: the enlightenment of human kind to the spiritual awakening that can occur in all of us and the acceptance that there is more to life then mere material reality. "

Toronto stinks. (Not just figuratively anymore.) Did anyone notice yesterday's rain brought the stench out so badly it was impossible escape? Until my recycling and a summer's worth of empties that have piled up in my place start to reek, I'm planning some indoor activities. This guy's my next rainy day rental:



Who knew this existed? Not me. Trailer here.
