The Return of Lilo!
Escándalo en Vancouver Fashion Week!
I keep telling people that Canadians are the most passive-aggressive people in the world (why else do you think we’re so polite? To set up the zings better) and nobody believes me. Maybe after reading this tale of tears, treachery, and trickery at Vancouver Fashion Week, you’ll take my word for it.
Noël’s inexperience with financial administration resulted in an embarrassingly public scandal—on October 2 of 2009, credit card fraud allegations shut down BC Fashion Week mid-runway show, under the supervision of RCMP officers…[literally, they busted up the show and took to the runway. No word on whether or not they "sashayed"]
Perhaps chief among the practical problems is the way Vancouver Fashion Week presents itself as a recognized “global platform for designers, buyers, media representatives, and sponsors,” but its early November dates position it too late in the season for the aforementioned all-important fashion buyers. Add to this the fact that the self-described “global platform” is frequently derided as having “high school” production values, including the fact that last year, aspiring models were “hired” via Craigslist. “I was paid $700 [in total] to model in their first year,” says one London-based catwalker familiar with the Vancouver scene, “and I think that was the last year they paid anyone.”
No wonder we’re the third worst-dressed city in the world.
Easy Come, Easy Go
Oh Vanessa. Yes, your movie career tanked pretty fast, but has it really come to this? Are those real slippers, or one dark night did you just cut down an old pair of Uggs in a self-hating, Avril Lavigne-blaring frenzy? At least you have some pride: you’re a $975 Alexander Wang bag lady (retail).
Sunday Caption Contest Results: Spock being all, like, totally unimpressed edition
After our longest layoff ever, here is the winner of our geekiest caption contest ever:
August 1, 2011 at 2:50 am
While Spock grudgingly admired the attempt to depict the Tzenkethi Waveform Anomaly in 3 demensions, he questioned the practicality of the ungainly top-mounted Anti-Matter Flare Dampeners.
In the face of a comment like THAT, what else could I do? We hereby virtually present the 100% imaginary prize of hypothetical awesomenosity: Ponn Farr perfume for Her!
