What’s In the Suitcase? Day Fourty
We got our dry cleaning back this weekend and it came to about $50. Spoiler alert: there was quite a bit – a couple suits and these shirts which, for $0.20 extra, some lovely person pressed and folded for us. And then wrapped it in a bag like it was some sort of Happy Meal [...]

What’s In The Suitcase? Day Thirty Nine
My stats are low so I’m posting some gratuitous skin shots: Ties! Do you like how I’m squeezing my boobies in and taking the shot from below a bit to make myself look hunky? To quote Silence of the Lambs: I’d do me!

Bob Kinnear isn't Greg Kinnear
We probably don't need to tell you that we made this image ourselves, from this and this. Bob Kinnear is the president of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113—a perennially unpopular head of the TTC employees' union back in the news after members hinted at a work-to-rule campaign in…

JOHN LORINC: Conservative yearnings
It couldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that the city’s swinging right in this election year, and not without reason, given the increasingly perilous state of Toronto’s finances (the gory details of which will be getting a lot of airplay over the next week). But there’s…

Yves Saint Laurent Pre-Fall 2010
I haven’t really liked a Yves Saint Laurent collection since the stellar Fall 2008 one. Pre-Fall 2010 has me optimistic. I like the colour combinations and the more classic wearable looks. I’m obsessed with the white and black jacket. I think it’s fur. Hopefully Stefano…

Viktor & Rolf Ready to Wear – Pre-Fall 2010
Viktor & Rolf went from crazy cutouts to more of their classic menswear inspired looks for the Pre-Fall 2010 collection. The black and white focused collection had two spots of colour, fuchsia and teal. They are cute jumpsuits too. I even like the little hat. I wonder if it’s…
