  • dove’s commercial on faked beauty

    This issue of over-photoshopped images has been on my mind since I saw the insanely faked image of Pamela Anderson in a Mac makeup ad. I didn’t recognise her and only later knew it was her when I saw a photo of her, the way she looks in reality at about 40 years old, standing…

  • elements of t’s style

    Earlier this year, I bought a cane. It’s a cool cane; black with a silver handle. It’s not a walking stick, mind you. It’s not meant for someone who has trouble walking. It is purely for style. It was expensive. The handle is silver, and has already yellowed and been substantially banged up from numerous…

  • nail polish

    Thinking the slightly higher than normal price must mean I would get quality, I bought some Elizabeth Arden nail polish from Shoppers Drug Mart. It’s a lovely deep metallic pink in colour, and looks great on my toes. I seem to have trouble applying it to my fingers, however. Because I use my hands a…

  • toronto tonight

    I will be attending another Toronto Tonight! fashion event this evening. I am going to help out Laurie Alers, of Mechanical Donkey, with modelling her clothing (like last time). On the Meetup.com site for the group, it mentions “six industry insiders” will be attending. Sounds intriguing… in any case, I’m curious to see the neat…

    Every day I ride the Spadina streetcar from Spadina subway station down to where I work, south of Queen St. For the past few months, I’ve been noticing a particular store window that always has colourful, interesting umbrellas in its window. The displays change twice weekly at least, and I curiously watched almost every day…

  • jeans from city of angels on queen st. west

    I found a pair of Rock & Republic jeans that: fit me comfortably were the style, colour and shape I was looking for actually made my butt look good (for once – this is key and I haven’t been able to find any lately that do this, for some reason!!) They cost $345. Apparently the…

  • been a bit ill

    I’ve been absent for almost a week now. This is because I’ve been quite ill with some sort of horrid cold whose only goal seems to be to tear apart my lungs. In the midst of it, however, I did have another photo shoot with Melissa Munroe, again makeupped by Monika Kollar. This time we…

  • melissa munroe photography

    This weekend I had a photo shoot with Melissa Munroe, one of my clients in Toronto. I have been doing ongoing updates on her website since January, posting her photography and directing work among other things. As part of the redesign for my own site I decided to include a photograph of myself, and so…
