ROYAL SERVE OF FAT-NESS


Last week I modeled for some friends in Alternative Fashion Week. It was my first time on the cat walk, and I did not fall over like a bone head so that was a bonus.  Toronto's rage was unleashed as garments that I can only describe as "star trek on an evil acid bender" dominated the show.  These are dangerous times in which we live, and those tentative feelings are seeping into every realm, resulting in aggressive clothing with a protective quality and sculptural nature.  Shoulder pads have resurfaced with a vengeance, and wide varieties of corsetry were employed in the garments.  To my absolute delight, a shit load of PVC was also used this year.  






















And here's a little taste of Hayley and me completing incredible feats of balance....

TODAY I BOUGHT A FLORAL ROMPER...

... and then it was 0 degrees and I had to dust off my dungarees. I'm calling BULLSHIT on this whole Canada scene.  Its gonna be off to Miami with me for real this time, where I can stop compressing my spine from sitting aimlessly indoors, and worry about something refreshingly different like the what the whims of vying gangs might be, and which hole in the wall Cuban dive to eat at next. CAN'T WAIT.

Here are some things to remind us of when we were free to sit and not be frostbitten, or tortured by fluctuating temperatures.  Now I'm not one for male models but today at work about a dozen just trotted on by in their underwear from down the street to do a shoot, and they were covered in paint, and it was GOOD.  Another reason to move to Miami is that potentially this would happen more often.  Is that possible? I feel like it would be for real a place where people are largely gym fit, bronzed and are frequently covered in day glow.  Also everyone would look like this, just like they do here sometimes, only in day glow...


I KNOW RIGHT AWESOME
These are the Dum Dum Girls.  They're not from Miami, but for onenightandonenightonly they will be rocking the Phoenix. Go see them or something, I'm going to eat my face off.
