A Question Concerning Socks: Is Two Colours Enough?
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. So, [...]
My Greatest Clothing Purchase Ever: Or, How I Became a Hoodie Whore
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 continue? Oh [...]
Duck, Duck, Purse: Calling A Spade A Spade
Every once and a while I make an important and unexpected discovery about myself. Sometimes, it comes in the still dark of a lonely night. Sometimes, it comes in the midst of the warm glow of sunny interaction. How or why these moments come, I don’t know, but come they do; and when they do, [...]

Up until first communion, I owned and wore one pair of sneakers / winter boots. I wore them everyday, in every circumstance, until they fell apart. In order to ingest God for the first time, a suit was bought and the concept of “dress shoes” entered my life. The concept didn’t have too much discernible affect in the [...]

The good ol’ PPBP put in a request for a fashion-focussed post and thoughtfully suggested the question: “What is your uniform?” I can’t say no to my biggest fan and she was even crafty enough to launch the request via Twitter, knowing that I am a social media junkie and would be compelled to encourage [...]

I grew up in Ottawa. In Ottawa, it gets very very cold — like -30 cold. And it snows. A lot. And it does this for a long long time. Accordingly, for many months out of the year, everyone wears a big heavy “winter coat” — as I have always called it. While I was [...]

In my on-going effort to cater to my female market, I went in search of the Polyvore site, with the intention of designing my own little ensemble — but for a man. You know, shoes, pants, shirt, tie, blazer, that sort of thing — maybe a matching murse! I was shocked to discover, however, it [...]

Until recently, I never really paid much attention to my clothes. There are a couple of reasons for this.
First, growing up, there wasn’t a lot of money to spend on clothes, and I quickly realized that I wasn’t going to be able to dress well on my budget. Instead, I focussed on getting as much [...]
Oscar Red Carpet Fashion Round-Up. Um, Seriously.
Posted on February 24, 2009. Filed under: Fashion | Tags: analysis, best dressed, celebrity fashion, commentary, Fashion, Oscars, red carpet fashion, worst dressed |
Apparently the Oscars happened Sunday night. I had no idea at the time. I only realized it had happened after the fact, when I took a peak at the on-line papers before bed. Fortunately, I was stupidly drunk on absinthe at the time, after test-piloting a podcast concept, so it didn’t really register. I noticed [...]
