Bruce Willis visited Pravda (Wellington Street’s pulchritudinous vodka house) while in Toronto promoting Sobieski Vodka. That’s right, pulchritudinous.

Okay, sort of misleading – not to do with Haiti, but still very interesting – re-watching my interview with Wyclef Jean from 2008 – he has some very poignant things to say.

midsummer night’s dream

On Monday, C Lounge’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream” was fortunate to host two Canadian fashion designers you need to know about: Breeyn McCarney and Adrian Wu.

Having trained and worked in London, England – McCarney is craftsmanship personified. Her delicate and labour-intensive designs are enhanced by the thought that goes into the textile selection. When you see her eco-friendly wool creations strut through a crowd, you instantly know who’s responsible.

Speaking of brand recognition – Adrian Wu is a self-taught 20-year-old designer whose dramatic dresses are as eye-catching as the signature glasses his models wear. Word has it he’s angling for a spot at Toronto Fashion Week next season (should there be a ‘next season’ – so the running joke goes).

Last week, Shoppers Drug Mart’s popular Optimum points plan celebrated its 10th birthday with pop-up parties all over the country. Revelers, buskers and a wrapped bus hit the streets of Toronto, where I took these shots:

Lindsey Buckingham Interview

My interview with Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham from a couple of years ago. We talked new albums, Stevie Nicks‘ feud with Sheryl Crow, etc. Apologies for the audio quality.

bash of the titans

Get it? It’s a party.

Warner Bros. (WBHE) recently threw another great quarterly showcase and party. It was ‘Clash of the Titans’ themed in honour of the Sam Worthington lead monster-mash. I’m now sporting a number of temporary Titans tattoos I received in the gift bag (remember kids, nothing says ‘cool’ like temporary tattoos).

“Hot Medusa,” as she became known, did a great job of entertaining party guests.

No, Warner Bros. didn’t release the kraken, but they did send a snake…

And a monitor (at least I think it’s a monitor… some kind of lizardy thing).

After party awesomeness ensued on the rooftop of the new Thompson Hotel. The pool was off-limits. You must look, but not touch! … much like Hot Medusa.
