Q&A: Jeremy Kai. Photographer. Rivers Forgotten
As a teen, we used to hang out at the Rosedale ravine. With a group of friends, we often tumbled through the underground and branches in 8 holed docs, drinking Schlitzes (sixteen year olds have no taste buds) and causing mayhem. Tsk tsk. I regretfully never thought to snap my experiences.
Cue Jeremy Kai’s book Rivers Forgotten, exploring Toronto’s hidden industrial and modern...

Pert Lingerie Media Launch
Pert Lingerie (1817 Queen Street East) is a new lingerie spot in the beaches. Owner Trepany Falvo styled the place in Marie Antoinette sensibilities with french furniture, pinks, lace and wallpaper. My faves include the red jumper from Christine Silks with black lace detail and a simmering hot purple body suit. Pair it with a blazer, tights/denim and you’re ready to go for the night. Pert...

Rick Genest for Schon! Magazine
In Schon! Magazine skeletor Rick Genest, aka. Zombie boy, plays peek-a-boo with his natural face. Starkly shot by Matthew Lyn and styled by editor Kay Korsh, his tattoos are selectively erased by hair and make up artist Dylan K Hanson.
Genest shot to fame after a discovery by Lady Gaga’s stylist Nicola Formichetti. Since then, he’s been in “Born this Way,” the pages of GQ Italia, and down...

Evil Monito Q&A: Laughology's Director Albert...
We all seek happiness. Books and thinkers ruminate on what brings us joy, whether it be the yearly 100K salary, falling in love or spiritual nirvana. Ideas like moderation, freedom and faith have offered philosophical solutions; self-help books suggest eliminating clutter, meditation and a focus on positivity. The TV documentary, Laughology (directed by Albert Nerenberg), suggests that...

Vitaminwater, elastic bands and a two pack?
The other week, I was invited to a work out session, courtesy of Vitaminwater and Track Meet, a boutique gym in Forest Hill. You see, I’m not really an exercise kind of girl; in fact, genetically I’ve been blessed with a skinny but marsh mallow- y body and spend most of my time gabbing about working out rather than doing it. It’s all talk and no tone.
I figured the demo would be the...

Kelly Cutrone on Strombo
People Revolution’s fashion pr guru Kelly Cutrone was on the George Strombolopolous show and it was definitely interesting to hear what the self professed “bitch” (being in control of herself) had to say. Clad in signature black and platform boots, she offered gems on her book, Normal gets you Nowhere, self fulfillment, and non judgmental perception. Check out the show airing...

WatchNowness presents :
Principal ballerina Janie Taylor and Justin Peck dance in Chloe’s ethereal collection short. Shot by Don Duke, the symmetry, beauty and fluidity of dance and dress flows perfectly to Philip Glass’ Mishima IV.
It’s achingly beautiful. Never been slapped across the face by beauty? Watch this.

Last week I attended a intimate wine/dinner pairing at Hotel Ocho, hosted by Beringer wine educater and former executive chef, Jerry Comfort. The reclaimed space is set to open in June but currently holds restaurant hours. Modern, sleek but comforting, the warm honey toned wood accents adds a homey feel. It’s the perfect setting for a casual elegant dinner, lunch or drinks.

Kirsten Dunst all smiles.

The other week I was watching Spiderman and was just wondering what Kirsten Dunst was up to. She hasn’t been around for a minute. She’s not my fave but I guess she’s the perfect girl next door, the sweet girl of gawky Peter Parker’s dreams. Maybe, it’s time to give The Virgin Suicides a whirl on the screen again and sink...

Bill Cunningham New York
I went to see Bill Cunningham New York with a friend of mine, who is every much of an artist as he is a technician. While some people see fashion as superficiality and commerce, at his core my friend sees it as artistic expression. So, it comes to no surprise that he spent most of the movie bawling his eyes out.
It is not only Cunningham’s focus, dedication and ultimately sacrifice for...
