Spring smells so good.
I’ve found myself taking more photos of flowers than ever before.
That may be a sign I am GAH, getting old.
Get outside today.
Leave your phone behind; it’s good for you.
I shall call this photo-shoot, “A Mercenary in Spring”.
I never go shopping, I go buying.
Happens about three times a year.
First up, this shirt. I am very flammable in it.
Yes I have legs :O
Wait, think I blogged last year something similar…. hang on…
Well I know I did, but I can’t find the post because my search is broken. Which makes my stomach hurt.
Where all this stuff came from.
Everything you see is $20.
That’s my trick: buy several cheap dresses instead of one fancy one. As long as you carry yourself well, it doesn’t matter what you wear.
And for the grand finale, the dresses.
I purposefully didn’t put clear photos here, lessens the impact when I wear them on camera.
The one on the right, I wanted a white eyelet dress like that my whole life.
Hello, I look like I’m in olden times.
I’m wearing my scarf like this now.
This Friday is the closing night gala of Toronto Fashion Week, the 3rd Annual Fashion Show Dare to Wear Love.
Top Canadian designers create one-of-a-kind dresses from African fabric, which are worn down the runway by Canadian celebrities (look for Casie!). Money raised goes to the Stephen Lewis Foundation which helps mothers, grandmothers and orphans with AIDS in Africa.
It’s founded and hosted by my old pals Chris and Jim of Hoax Couture. When I moved to Toronto in 2008 and knew no one, they took me under their wing and helped install me into the city. We played poker, went to Caribana and Chris got me to cook one time.
