Swayzak @ The Mod Club
Swayzak played to a small but appreciative audience at the Mod Club on November 6, 2007. It was really cool to talk to them after the set. I thanked them for the funky beats that had me dancing like a fool.

Canada Collects, A Season of Canada @ the ROM
The ROM invited me and some other bloggers to see the Canada Collects exhibit which is part of a bigger exhibition called A Season of Canada.. Canada Collects is an exhibition of items on loan from other museums and collectors in Canada. The lead curator, Kenneth Lister took us on a personal tour of the exhibition. I have to admit I love the idea of the curator leading us through the exhibit, he added so much more to the experience. There are some pretty iconic Canadian artifacts in this exhibit The original manuscript of Anne of Green Gables. The landing gear from the Avro Arrow Trudeau’s birchbark Canoe The first Canadian maple leaf flag The first TV, owned by Moses Znaimer One part of the exhibit was extremely moving. It was poems written by Chinese Immigrants during the head tax days. They were written on the walls of the detention centres they were housed in at the time. The original building was being demolished and a museum in BC saved them. The poetry as you …

Project Runway Canada – Episode 3
I haven’t been blogging the show. I have been watching. I even attended the Project Runway Canada show at fashion week but I’m sworn to secrecy. I’m enjoying the show overall but I have to agree with Nathalie Atkinson about the shows faults. I don’t really understand the Winners connection and yes, Iman’s delivery is awkward. However, Episode three is where I thought we would finally say goodbye to Megan. She’s scraped by the last two challenges. Alas, that didn’t happen, which just cements the whole “reality tv” aspect of the show. She makes for good television. I love Stephen Wong and after seeing him running around during fashion week I love him more. It was a little surreal seeing the contestants pretty much everywhere I went last week.
i got: Houndstooth Sweater Dress from Joe Fresh
Houndstooth Sweater Dress from Joe Fresh I’ve been looking for a sweater dress since the beginning of the season. I only have a tank sweater dress and nothing with sleeves. I was passing by the Steeles and Keele Supercentre and stopped in to find one at Joe Fresh. It’s actually 70% lambswool which totally surprised me. It’s cute though, we’ll see how long it takes to get destroyed though. I picked up a striped sweater dress from H&M too. I’m surprised at how much I like it. Both were under 30 dollars.
Roberto Cavalli for H&M
The collection is up at H&M now. There is an exceptional amount of cheetah prints. I think it’s awful, but I’m sure people will want to buy it. I do predict more of this stuff lying around than the M by Madonna collection. Here is a video from H&M that shows some of the clothes, it’s pretty cheezy be warned. It’s hits the stores on November 8, 2007. Am I the only one who thinks these designer collaboration are so done now? video: hm.com
My Circa Nightclub experience in GLOSS: The Fashion Magazine
I wrote an article on Circa for Gloss Magazine. Check it out. The club king of New York brings Circa to Toronto It’s opening night of Circa Nightclub, shall we take a peek? It’s Thursday night, and I’m at the opening of Peter Gatien’s Circa Nightclub. New York’s club king is hoping to enchant Toronto and the world with four floors of art, technology, cinema and pop culture mishmash. The line snakes around the building but, with VIP access, there is no waiting.
