I am not exaggerating when I say that Frances Bean Cobain captured the world’s attention since before she was born. In fact, rumours were rampant that Frances was born addicted to drugs thanks to her nutjob mother, Courtney Love. At the time, Vanity Fair published an article that Courtney admitted to using heroin after learning [...]

A few observations about Gossip Girl’s “Desperately Seeking Serena”:
Does anyone care about Nate or Vanessa? They are kind of like depressants. You know. Medications they prescribe for anxiety or insomnia. N & V provide the obligatory slow-it-down effect so we don’t pass out from all the salacious gossip and drama. They deserve each other if you [...]

Posted in Fashion, Opinion, tagged Agyness Deyn, British, England, Fashion, I-D Magazine, Kate Moss, Laura Hollins, Littleborough, Models, Perez Hilton, Punk on April 28, 2008 | 10 Comments »
Agyness Deyn’s arrival in mainstream media has been explosive. Her distinctive blonde hair has bobbed on countless catwalks and more recently, I-D magazine has devoted an entire issue completely to her. As in no other models were photographed for the photoshoots. This model extraordinaire seems to have it all. Or does she?
Agyness is the newly-crowned [...]

The return of Gossip Girls on Monday night clearly excited me too much. I neglected to discuss The Hills! Monday is once again my favourite night of the week. A few observations about the gang in LA:
Lauren seems to have missed the memo on Kelly Cutrone’s policy on wearing all black. She wore a white outfit [...]

Yesterday marked the return of Gossip Girl and my god, I have missed that show! A couple of observations about “The Blair Bitch Project”:
I LOVED the Breakfast at Tiffany’s dream sequence. Alright, so it didn’t really make sense. So what? Any excuse to have a little tribute to Audrey Hepburn is fine by me.
After Serena [...]
I want: a Red Umbrella

When you live in Vancouver, you learn to deal with the rainy weather. In fact, I can leap over puddles IN HEELS with the grace of a gazelle. The only thing I am missing is a cool umbrella. Since I take public transit to get to work, I have to use a small compact umbrella [...]

I am ecstatic [...]
The Time Traveler’s Wife

If you haven’t read Audrey Niffenegger’s “The Time Traveler’s Wife”, PLEASE read it. Don’t let the title fool you. It is not some sappy Nicholas Sparks book like “The Notebook”. Barf. (I love the movie, but I refuse to read the book.)
The book recounts the powerful love story of Claire and Henry. The only catch [...]
Seeing Stars

Stars are a hot trend this spring and they were everywhere on the SS/08 catwalks. Always one step ahead, Kate Moss already wore a cute outfit with little stars all over it at the beginning of the year. I actually like the star necklaces and belts from YSL. They can liven up an otherwise boring [...]
Chinese Superstitions

My mom brought me up in a very East-meets-West manner. She cusses whenever she has the opportunity to and loves to watch House. She also delights in regaling me with stories about her sex life. I don’t even want to go there. Growing up, I assumed that I was brought up with standard Canadian parenting [...]
