Just for you











Camera and The Stephen Bulger Gallery
1026-1028 Queen St. West
(no pics of the stephen bulger gallery- I wasn't allowed- but a very cool- small- space and Mr. Bulger is very friendly and welcoming- unusual for a gallerist)

TGIF- What I Want

All can be mine for the reasonable price of USD$3414.00. Maybe i'll just treat myself to the brangle ($89), maybe not.

Yeah, I think you're pretty lame too


The above photo exactly describes my feelings on faux-fashion fixation Sienna Miller, especially after sitting through two hours of my life I desperately want returned but will never get back (aka Factory girl)
I have never felt so mixed about a September cover for American Vogue. I know that her article and accompanying well-shot fashion spread (with Testino, Meisel or Demarchelier no doubt) will be easy to gloss-over but it's just the principle. I really feel that the industry is forcing their ill-concieved opinion on me. She just copies Topshop/K Moss, who has spent years being directed by the industry. I definately don't percieve her as any kind of trendsetter, if anything she's a follower.
I'm actually considering not buying it. I think I'll do a in-store flip-through before I make my final verdict. Besides what can I see in the magazine that I can't see online, except the hundreds of advertisements? That may have been a pre-emptive why-i-didnt-buy-this-seasons-fashion-bible explination, but I like to be prepared. Afterall, I was a girl guide.

Around

Went to see Jasmine yesterday at the Factory Theatre. Written by fellow transplanted Torontonian and ex-Vancouverite, Norman Lup-man Yeung (who also plays one of the three characters). I found it to be at times humorous and poignant, and as an asian-canadian it struck a certain emotional chord with me, very relatable, but I don't think you have to share that heritage to enjoy the play. Great performances by all actors. Congrats!

While doing some research for a few articles I am hoping to write and get published for blogTO's fashion section (www.blogto.com) I came across this beauty and I knew right away that I had to make it mine.
V magazine and Simon Procter team up to bring you some amazing catwalk portraits. So lovely.
