Ask a Geek: Where to find Marc by Marc Jacobs in Toronto

Published by

Sometimes readers ask me questions. If they are of value to all my readers I post them online. If you have a question, please feel free to submit it using the contact form. I’ll definitely do my best to answer it. I want – I got reader Annie wrote: Hi Anita, I’m desperately looking for the Marc by Marc Jacobs Grovee Dr. Q purse in the brown colour. My friend’s birthday is this weekend and she’s been yearning for it. Do you know of any other store in Toronto aside from Holt who sells Marc by Marc? Thank you! I hope you don’t mind me sharing your question Annie! Holt Renfrew sells Marc by Marc handbags along with the Marc Jacobs line and Bloor Street is your best bet for selection. Holt Renfrew also carries Marc by Marc Jacobs womenswear, footwear, watches and jewellery. I did some searching on the net and found out that David’s Footwear also sells Marc by Marc handbags and shoes. I believe those are the 2 major players in Toronto. …

geekiviews: Sex in the City movie

Published by

Yes, even though I really don’t care, I saw Sex in the City. I knew that MJ would want me to see it with him. We went on Saturday, the theater was empty and the butter was real. The movie was way too long, painfully long. The storyline was predictably awful, but there were a few really good laughs. That theme song, hideous. That pretty much sums up the average Sex in the City fan to me, people who think Fergie is cool. The moving going crowd was fantastic, there wasn’t a short skirt or a stiletto in the place. The fashion was the only reason I cared and it was pretty intense. MJ and I played “what’s she wearing” the whole time. The product placement was totally ridiculous and I wonder how much money changed hands. Most of the outfits were just awful. The fashion show scene was completely laughable. I always hate fashion show scenes in movies (except Zoolander). People really identify with this movie. Is it true women go to New York …

Stella Artois Légère Launch

Published by

I got this really cool invite to the Stella Artois Légère launch. It was at Circa and there was lots of Stella on hand to try out. I’m not a big light beer fan but this was okay. It was very light tasting and like most light beers it reminded me of water. Before Wclef Jean “played” for the crowd, there was an acrobat. I think Wclef’s DJ did most of the work because they really didn’t perform anything. Wclef was more of an M.C. that night.

Getting ready to upgrade the site. I should be done for a few hours barring no crazy, horrible problems. EDIT: Upgrade went well. I’m thinking of changing this theme again now.
