I make mistakes...

"I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

Something I wanted to share...

I just wanted to share something I wrote back in the spring. After putting up with a lot of disappointing, self centred and cruel people in my life, I realised something about myself and decided to write a "letter" to those who had hurt me. I wanted to post it here so if you have also been disappointed, hurt or left behind by a person or several people, remember to just keep going! Here it is...

"To all of you who thought I would fail, that I wouldn't go anywhere, make anything of myself. To those of you who tried to poison me with your negativity, your hateful words. To those of you who said I wasn't pretty enough, smart enough, tall enough, talented enough, strong enough or even good enough. To all of you who abandoned me when I needed you most, walked away when I needed you by my side. I just want to thank you. Your words pushed me, made me stronger. Look at me now. Your words have filled me not with hate and self loathing but a will, a purpose and power. Thanks to your negativity I will never quit. All I can do from here is descend up. I can forgive all of your actions but I will never forget and this I once again thank you for."

Pride weekend always a blast!

Wow, can't get out of bed! Done myself in for sure this time!!! All in all, I would say this weekend was a great success. Went shopping with Chris with our street style then headed over to the 519 Pride opening party. Then the next night celebrated Pride with my good friend Andy. Dinner and drinks with Jess and Carina the following night, no Pride celebrations though. But Sunday night! Well, that certainly was the "grand finale"! I wore the craziest outfit I've ever concocted before in my life. Covered in sparkles with a black tutu and even a sparkly bra I picked up from New York. Also the shoot went amazingly, great people to work with and was a lot of fun. Cannot wait to see the pictures! I will now leave you with some of the highlights from this weekend...

Alexander McQueen?

So was out and about today with fellow stylist, Chris, after getting over my little moment of not-feeling-so-great. Traveled amongst the Mirvish Village till we hit the actual Village working the streets of Toronto like it was our catwalk. Chris perfected his outfit with a sexual bag from Zara while I paired my vintage outfit with, of course, a vintage Chanel bag.

Also, after watching MOD TV's review of Sarah Burton's collection for Alexander McQueen Fall 2011, I started to wonder, is she really emboding the spirit of Alexander McQueen? Don't get me wrong her designs are fantastic, but Alexander was more than just pretty outfits, things in fur, asymmetrical shapes and "black and white". There was history, he made a statement. I also know it must be so hard to follow in the footsteps of such a thought provoking, influential man. Thoughts?
