Beauty, Desire, or Solidarity: What’s Your Clothing Aesthetic?
I appreciate beautiful clothing and, in my own ham-fisted way, I’ve tried to write about clothing here and there on this blog. I don’t often write about beautiful clothing because, like music and visual art, writing about beautiful clothing doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Either clothing is beautiful or it is not […]
Third Time Is The Charm: 3rd Annual Oscar Red Carpet Fashion Roundup
March 5, 2012
Yes, it’s that time of the year again! Because I don’t normally celebrate my birthday or holidays, this might very well be the only annual tradition I honour. Here we go: In the best category, the nominees are Milla Jovovich, Kristen Wiig, and Penelope Cruz. And the best dress award goes to … Penelope “Swooon” Cruz. In […]
It’s The Third Annual Oscars Red Carpet Fashion Round-Up! And It’s A Great Year!
February 28, 2011
Across the board, I’m fairly impressed with this year’s crop of red carpet fashion. Methinks my taste in gowns is coming back into style. There is no surer sign of this than the fact that most everyone seems to approve of one of my favorites, Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein. I’ve always been a fan […]
A 2010 Winnipeg Fringe Fashion Moment: Should I Wear Short Short Socks?
July 20, 2010
Before leaving for the 2010 Winnipeg Fringe, I decided I would wear pants as little as possible. Unfortunately, soon after touching down in Winnipeg, I realized flip-flops are ill-suited for long bouts of walking. How could I possibly wear shorts and good walking shoes without looking totally dorkish? I noticed Ray sporting the short socks, […]
Don’t Call It A Comeback! What’s Your Theory of Retro?
April 3, 2010
A fantastically warm and sunny Easter weekend in Ottawa! Consequence 1: Ottawa feels uncharacteristically vibrant, as everyone races outside to enjoy the weather. Consequence 2: My thoughts turn to sunglasses. Here are the the Marc Jacob sunglasses I will be rocking this summer: When I blew my wad at Trust Fund just before Christmas last, […]
Because Sometimes Two Isn’t Enough! Four Eyes Or Two? You decide!
March 24, 2010
I can’t remember when I first realized I had to wear my glasses all the time but I know I refused to wear them outside of the classroom until I was seventeen. When I was selected to attend an Army Cadet Outward Bound Course in Banff, Alberta, I decided it was high time to change […]
Second Annual Oscar Red Carpet Fashion Round-Up: Olympics Edition!
March 9, 2010
There has been a disheartening lack of glamour around here lately! As I was taking a break at my local speak-easy from writing yet another thought-provoking, artful, and soul-searching post, I rediscovered that the Oscars were on. My first thought: “Sandra Bullock won best actress! What happened? Did she finally take some lessons or something?” My […]
The Burden of The Boot: The Biggest Obstacle To Deep Winter Glam
January 6, 2010
I made a discovery yesterday: I’ve never had a job interview under snowy conditions. As I was putting on my snazzy suit for the interview, it occurred to me: should I bring good shoes or should I not bring good shoes? This question, as far as I can recall, is not one I’ve ever considered […]
A Question Concerning Socks: Is Two Colours Enough?
November 20, 2009
I own many socks. Many, many socks. I don’t like to do laundry and I hate wearing socks more than once a day. In fact, if I even take my socks off, I am loathe to put the same pair on again. Because I don’t like wearing socks, I take them off whenever I can. […]
My Greatest Clothing Purchase Ever: Or, How I Became a Hoodie Whore
September 16, 2009
In honor of the Zones Théâtrales re-mount of the Projet Rideau / Rideau projects, I thought I’d tell the story of my greatest clothing purchase ever. Ever! You see, the connection exists because the purchase happened during a performance of Magnetic North’s presentation of the Projet Rideau / Rideau Projects in June. Intrigued? I thought you might be. Shall I […]
