Questions and Answers

November 30, 2009

Its a rainy night here in Toronto and I’m experiencing a bit of writers block. Its not that I don’t have things that I want to write about but, rather I feel like I have too much to say and I’m not really sure where to start. Luckily, my friend Megan tagged me in this “Questions and Answers” exercise that she posted [...]

Men in Tights: Toronto Fashion Week Continued

November 27, 2009

Since I only wrote about one of the shows I went to for Toronto Fashion Week, I really wanted to write a full run-down of everything I saw. So, I sat down at my laptop this morning, wrote a full entry, (complete with photos that I took at the shows) only to realize later that it was long, tedious and the multiple [...]

A Day for Me

November 23, 2009

I am taking a day to recuperate. It’s my first day off after working 6 shifts in a row. My feet are super sore, my knees are bruised (I walked into two display tables on Saturday. Did I mention I’m kind of a klutz?) and my email inbox is full of un-replied messages. So, I’m taking a day to catch up. I think [...]

Out of Breath

November 20, 2009

I think its part of human nature to want what we can’t have. There have definitely been times in the past where I have fallen for guys who were clearly unavailable. One or two instances in particular really stand out for me. The relationships would always start with us being friends. We’d hook up, he’d run, I’d chase. I’d try and be [...]

Let’s Be Friends Again

November 18, 2009

I got the inspiration for this entry while sitting in a cafe with my Dad this morning, listening to the Jimi Hendrix record they were playing. One of the rockiest relationships I’ve had in my life has been with the color purple. (And I mean the actual color, not the Alice Walker novel turned Oprah movie turned musical–which I’ve always liked). Purple has never [...]

Blind Date

November 15, 2009

I’m not really sure why I agreed to go out with “H” in the first place. H and I worked in the same building. When I met him I was just starting to get over “Dave the Rollerblader” (an over-tanned Juice Pig who broke my heart—which all seems laughable now because I can’t really remember why I even liked him in the [...]

Me Against Me

November 12, 2009

I really needed to read this quote this morning. (Thanks Tupac you always make me feel better) Yesterday I had this really low moment where I said to myself: “I feel like a failure” I know its kind of harsh, but that was exactly how I felt at that moment. (of course this all came about while I was sitting alone in a [...]

Skinny Dipping

November 9, 2009

My best friend asked me a really good question the other day: “Is it weird revealing so much personal stuff online in your blog?” Yes & No. Sometimes after I publish a post I’ll have a moment of panic where I’ll think “Oh my god, I just wrote THAT online”. But that moment usually subsides. I always console myself with the false [...]

Searching for my Tribe

November 4, 2009

Here is my conundrum: When I started this blog in August, I set out to connect with readers and find other people doing the same thing as me. I read ALOT of blogs, (what’s featured on the blogroll is only a small fraction of my overly bloated Google Reader) but for the most part they are all Fashion or Design blogs. My daily [...]
