vogue v. vulgar

This is amazing.

cross-referencing

When I went to the Canada’s Walk of Fame red carpet thingy, I was standing next to a reporter from SheDoesTheCity.com, and of course, they (the website) were there for Daria.  When the supermodel came over to us, the reporter had her digital voice recorder on, and I guess she used some of my questions [...]

wrestle with this

So I was able to go to the premiere screening of “The Wrestler” during TIFF, and it was one of the better movies I’ve seen in a loooong time. Directed by Darren Aronofsky (“Pi”, “Requiem for a Dream”) it stars Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.

told you so

I totally called it!
Last night, the first ever Project Runway Australia’s winner was announced, and the fabulous Juli Grbac won!

The article is in the latest dispatch on indieWIRE, along with some [...]

Guess whose Letter to the Editor got published in the latest issue of Strut Magazine? Mine!
I wrote a letter to the mag a while back when they decided to change their paper stock to a little less thicker one, and I wrote in response to that. I’m sure they got a lot of [...]

palin (almost) rhymes with stalin

A conversation.
Me, asking my New Yorker senior editor, Brian: “So what do you think of Sarah Palin?”
Brian, without hesitation: “She’s a fascist!”

walk the walk

Today was the inductee ceremony for Canada’s Walk of Fame, and I got a media pass to interview the stars on the red carpet! It was super fun, tiring, exciting, and a great experience overall. I think I can see myself doing this as a day job…! I’m in the process of [...]
