You're the only ten I see.

Obsessions:



It looks so beautiful and dreamy and yet I am completely unable to acertain any facts about it's plot, if it's playing anywhere near by or if it's on DVD etc. Somebody please tell me more!



Ok fine, i'm pretty sure this is not the 'official' video but who really cares when the fake video involves kittens playing. Love this song!

Doesn't Jess look adorable in this jersey dress? Her ancesters sure think so!

Wise & Proper, $138
This dress comes with a tone on tone belt, but a girl that has such a flare for vintage has got to pair it with a little piece of old-timey.

Wise & Proper, $82
The room Jess is in started as a giant beautiful closet and then got converted into an office for her to do her school work in. Man school really does ruin everything!


Wise & Proper, $192

Pretty lady! Well that brings to an end our glimps into Jess's house and her mad modeling skills. Thanks for being so cool! And as we said yesturday: You rule, please be our co-worker!

this grass IS greener

A few weeks ago we went over to visit the coolest mom we know's house. While there we roped Jessica into playing fashion model for the day. She was a great sport and our amateur photography skills do no justice to Jessica's hotness, amazing sense of humour and effortless ease. She really is so cool, we are constantly trying to scheme a way to convince her to join the Victoire team. You all would fall in love with her! She rules, which makes us envy everything around her, her house is a dream, her man is hilarious and her baby cannot be beat. Envying a kid... now that is low!

In grade 4 the coolest girl in my tap class was named Jessica and man she was tops. She had a blossom hat, a really neat vest and her mom let her put 'Sun-In' in her hair, so cool. Part of my brain thinks this is the same Jessica. Well she might as well be, except mom-Jessica was probably already going to Slayer concerts, riding the city bus alone and allowed to stay up for SNL ( I didn't even know these were possibilities in grade 4).



As you can see Jessica should be a professional decorator. Her house is straight out of a magazine. The coolest part about her decorating skills is that it is almost entirely vintage and her man can scavenge anything for rock bottom price. A perfect duo!






We took lots of pictures, tomorrow we will show you this mamas' mad modelling skills.

Time Of The Season

I was raised on the East Coast and Fall was a big deal in my small town. I would get pretty excited for the Fall Fair. There was a midway, a parade, and a tractor pulling competition! It was also duck hunting season. Later on, everyone with a wood stove would get their winter wood delivery (which totally sucked because you would have to stack it all behind your house and it took forever). My all time favorite part of late Fall was Midnight Madness. It was an evening where the businesses downtown (all 20 of them) would stay open late and everyone would run around, drink cider and get started on their holiday shopping.

Tomorrow night the businesses on Dalhousie street are putting on something quite similar. From 6-9 there will be drinks, treats, and deals! Come join in. I can personally guarantee some good eats at Victoire (Katie and M.C made some cute and mouthwatering mini-cupcakes).
Getting your holiday shopping out of the way is a good idea. It will free you up to enjoy the winter season when the snow hits!

Tobogganing!!!!

And Curling!

"I prefer to open the conversation with light banter about my wardrobe and jewelry."

Despite the fact that Canadian Tire begins to run Christmas commercials at the stroke of midnight on October 31st, I still feel the lack of interest to begin decorating my house for the holidays. Maybe it's because snow has yet to make an appearance in our city, or maybe it's just because I can't even begin to think about pulling out my collection of stuffed animals wearing Santa hats with the amount of laundry that has piled in my closet. Either way, right now, the only decorating i want to do is of myself. It is much easier to adorn yourself with sparkly, lacy things then it is a house. And with these Thisilk earrings, I guarantee you will give most Christmas Trees a run for their money.

Thisilk lace earrings $26-$32

Don't forget, this Wednesday from 6-9 pm come down to Dalhousie St. for our Shopping Night. Eleven stores along the street are taking part by bringing you drinks and treats and prizes and of course, shopping! Also, in true holiday and community spirit, all the stores will be collecting new, unwrapped gifts for the women and children of St. Joe's Women's Centre. Can't wait to see you Wednesday night!

A++

I've been having some really A+ Saturday nights this fall and last night did not disappoint. It all started with some friendly boozin' at the Royal Oak with Mandi from Auntie Loo's treats, Regine, and M.C. Afterwards, we headed out to Swizzles night club to judge round two of Ottawa's Drag Idol. It was a blast! If you like having a good time, can appreciate a good high kick or two, then this is the event for you (rhyme intended)! I believe the next round of Drag Idol will take place at Swizzles on December 5th. I will definitely be there. Later on in the evening we all headed to Babylon for an Ipod Battle. There was a lot of dancing, shouting, silly string, and beer spraying. Hella fun. Congratulations to team Drunk Dad Karaoke for taking home the title of champion. The night ended, as all good nights do, at ESD for poutines!!!

Inspired by all the great performances of Ottawa's finest in drag, I have compiled a short list of my personal drag idols.

More Gore!

Last night we went to see the one and only Ottawa screening of Lee Demarbre's newest flick Smash Cut at the Mayfair, where said director has been doing some kick ass programming since taking over the theatre earlier this year. The turn out was incredible; a line up around the entire block to get in and about the same to get some much needed cold ones (so we bought in threes to save time!!) and the crowd was the best kind of rowdy!


It is so much fun to see films that are made in Ottawa, especially one with so many familiar faces in them! Just as i'm trying to figure out where I recognize a face from, it promptly gets it's eyeballs cut out or loses both of it's hands to a large and sharp kitchen knife!


David Hess is hysterical in the role of Able Whitman and Sasha Grey is delightfully campy in her role of snoopy reporter turned gore film star who saves the day. AND she keeps all her clothes on!


It was mostly amazing to see the theatre completely packed to the brim with people hooting and hollering through the whole movie and cheering their pals on as they get cut to pieces by Hess.


Due to some kind of distribution contract kerfoofle the film will only available for public screenings in Germany and France but will probably be available on DVD here pretty soon. You should rent it and Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter together for a amazing night of Ottawa gore!


And check out the Mayfair for more great cult classics, must sees, independant and generally kick ass films!
