  • OOTD – Tiki Party! Aug. 3

    Last weekend my local Toronto Vintage & Retro Society hosted a rockin’ tiki-tacky party at the Cadillac Lounge. I waffled between what to wear quite a bit for this event! On one hand, I’ve got some great retro/pin-up outfits that I want to wear, but on the other it IS a tiki party, so bright […]

    My dear friend Karen from Curvy Canadian brought me along to today’s holiday preview for Addition-Elle at the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel in downtown Toronto.

  • The Weirdest Soup I Ever Made: A White Girl Tries Traditional Chinese Medicine

    Since the tender age of 9 I have been cursed with bad skin. Zits, pimples, cystic acne, rosacea, whatever you want to call it, I’ve got pizza-face and have been struggling with it for years. I have seen all the western style doctors and tried countless remedies from creams & gels, antibiotics, hormones from The […]

  • New Hair!

    As I get older and less stressed about things, I find myself doing some of the stuff I “ought” to have done when I was younger. Recently I tackled dying all my hair for THE FIRST TIME. Ohmigod you guys, I don’t know what I was thinking! I just somehow decided to do it? I […]

  • This Ginger is about to snap

    Man, there has been a lot going on since I last updated. Oh well. The biggest thing eating me right now is that I am once again without a job. It’s like a frigging roller coaster over here, either famine or feast. I can’t seem to figure out exactly what it is I want to […]

  • Review: Your Big Sister’s Closet Boutique

    With no guests, no more parties and nothing else to do, I made a trip a few blocks over to Karen Ward (Curvy Canadian)’s new plus size boutique Your Big Sister’s Closet. Quelle suprise! It’s adorable! I’ve been there before when they were under construction, so when I was headed there today I almost missed […]

  • Life With Slimband: Impending Rant

    Ugh. It’s some godforsaken hour in the morning of Christmas Eve/Day and I can’t sleep. No, I’m not excited for Santa Claus to bring me a pony or a pair of moon shoes. Rather I am so pissed off with my current situation with Slimband that I can’t sleep and have composed an angry rant […]

  • A B&B Without Guests

    Woooowwwww. It’s so nice to have this place finally to myself! It’s the first time in months that I haven’t had guests and it feels strange and liberating. I just took a shower and not only did I leave the door open, I also pranced back to my room completely buck naked! Don’t take the […]
