Finally everybody got their act together to go to Piknik on the same day. It was James Holden, and the weather was perfect, so that was a good excuse.
This is the last few pictures from that party last weekend. Unfortunately I dont have time to write little stories because I am supposed to be studying, and clearly I am not.
Here are a few more of the cute boys and girls from the Show OFF party last weekend. I like these two because they look like they just don’t give a shit, I mean, they clearly do, otherwise they probably wouldn’t have bothered getting dressed at all, but its refreshing to just see some good old grunge especially out at night.
these guys are the streetstylez of the future. seriously. whenever somebody says “you better call the fashion police” they are who I imagine would show up to arrest the offender in question.
i love this picture. dane is a blob, and there is a wonderful fuzzy little red lady walking on the opposite platform. reminds me of that very cold salvation army trip where i got an oil lamp with a genie in it who gave me three wishes.

I like to delude myself into thinking that summer will last forever, and it’s in that frame of mind that I went to a friend’s house last night in my nightgown, a pair of knee-highs and a poncho. Little did I know that while we were busy covering that Beyonce song “Irreplacable” on the harpsicord, it was snowing outside. Around 1AM, I tried to stumble home through the snow and probably caught pneumonia. So that being said, here’s a photo from the summer, and let us all remember that time, because we’ll be snowed in for the next 10 months. Depressed? Here’s another one:
Here’s two good fellas from Nightlife Magazine shooting a video at the MSTRKRFT Piknic. Watch for my cameo appearance in one of them, and yes, my voice really is that squeaky.

Nightlife is throwing a sweet party with some of the best local acts tomorrow night. Get all the info here and RSVP! Don’t miss out. And finally, if you haven’t seen it yet, grab the October issue of Nightlife asap (or read it online) for a nice little top 10 of the Street Stylin’ photos featured in the magazine since it’s beginnings with Joan Rivers-type commentary courtesy of Catherine DeMontigny, Pascale Gregoriev and yours truly.
Jessica Warren reports on Montreal summer fashion, with photos by Alison of Pregnant Goldfish
“The thing about Montreal is that as soon as the sun comes out, everyone comes out of hiding, especially the Montreal boys. Instead of over-sized parkas and bad shoes everywhere you look; deep cut tanks, denim shorts, and dirty summer sneakers arrive on the scene, leaving me drooling over the street style of the local summer boys.” -Jessica Warren
Part One ————- Part Two
Part Three ———— Part Four
A few weeks ago, a truly magical trio were hard at work to create a series of photos that make me feel pretty happy. They feature the Swedish beauty Kira Josefsson (who just returned to her motherland), and two of my favorite boys in the whole land. Saad is the man behind the camera, a truly talented and precious little man, and Nolan Bellavance, the stylist extraordinaire. Really, there’s not much I need to say, just look at the result. That morning I had dragged myself out of a bed I had hyjacked to come downstairs and witness magic in the making. I couldn’t help but make my little hungover body crawl over to where my camera was to capture a few shots of the golden trio hard at work.
In addition to pretty much every judge from Canada’s Next Top Model or Canadian Idol, and the whole Degrassi cast, Santa made an appearance at Toronto Fashion week, but this time, he was not the gift bearrer, he was the gift bearree (?) at the Mellinda Mae Harlingten show. If santa really was magic, maybe he would have made the show a little bit more exciting. Although the Sienna Miller-lookalike designer’s collection wasn’t bad, it was a bit boring. But at least she was cute? Here are some photos. Pretty, but blah. Back to santa though, I like his relaxed, post-holiday look, so casual, kind of charming. Hello pretty boy. Please (gently) drop a new lense for my camera and a few hundred dollars down my chimney.
TFW is over. The T is for Toronto, if you’re wondering. The T is also for Terrible.
But hey, we did get a bunch of free shit, all of which was intended for people more important than us. But when they didn’t show up, Marilis and I were ready to swoop in on their front-row seats and the accompanying swag bags. If I can take a moment to provide some free promotion, I’d like to direct you to Cobs Bread, who will be feeding me for the next 3 weeks with vouchers for free loaves of bread that we picked out of the bags.
That’s Cob’s Bread: Our Passion, Your Bread.
Also, a note of thanks to whoever it is that makes Orangina. The countless free bottles at the shows were perfect mixer for the water bottle full of vodka stashed away in Marilis’ purse.
Moving on, here’s some highlights (and lowlights) of the week, and some street style:
Coco Rocha, the highest profile model to come from Canada in some time. Coco’s walked for the likes of Anna Sui, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, and Christian Lacroix. And now, Joe Fresh. Joe Fresh sells his clothes at a supermarket, just so we’re clear about that.
A small gallery of an innumerable amount of somebodies that I was asked to take photos of. I think the guy in the last photo is in toothpaste commercials. And the lady in the first photo has some pretty intense teeth. Check em out!
The camera even resisted focus on this guy’s hair. On a sad note, this guy is probably a Canadian fashion magnate.
Ok, in case you make the same mistake I did, this is not Kalan Porter. The girl had some amazing jewelry though. Much better than Kalan could ever dream up.
“I’m Lara, and this is Sara. We do everything together.” Lara, Sara, if you’re out there, you know where to find me, you rhyming beauties you.
.
Ever notice how models almost never have good style of their own? Here’s the one exception I’ve ever found.
I just liked their scarves, OK?!
What a hunk.
Yes, you’re right, it really IS that guy from Degrassi. These are some well-dressed kids.
Alright that’s all. My photos from the So_Me vernissage are coming soon. Including an exclusive interview with So_Mom! (not really though).

You know Darryl, he’s the foxy boy behind the Street Clash competition and our special collaborator, bringing us love from Toronto, Berlin and Stockholm, see them here. Darryl and I spent that morning loitering at Eggspectations (the newest hotspot, word on the street) and we’ll be covering Toronto fashion week next week, so we’ll have some sweet photos coming up for you guys! I have a confession to make though, a realisation that came to me as I was reviewing my photos. Last Thursday, I was walking around Toronto and witnessed a beautiful boy in a black cloak crossing the street. Seeing as I’m on constant street style look out, I took a few seconds to consider stopping him for a photo, but we were already too far away to do anything about it. I did however say something along the lines of “oh man, that boy had good style” to my friend Miranda and glanced back to notice he was looking at me… Weird? I believe it was no other then this beautiful boy in a black cloak.
Here’s a few goodies from last Thursday, just click on the banner below to see all the love:
And here are some highlights:
Above is from the Brave Radar’s set at the Fixture Records Valentine’s showcase- white socks never looked so good. And below are from both the cold streets of Montreal and the Worn Journal Karaoke Party!!
The dear Darryl is still in Berlin, doing his Street Clash thang, and here’s some of the photo taking he’s been doing out there while we dream of faraway european lands. Make sure you go vote for his Toronto and Wedding Dress photos and for whichever your favorite and most stylish city is, and you can do so by clicking on the lovely little yellow and black box bellow.
Just when I thought I’d forgotten my cynicism back in Toronto, I found these 3 Vancouver kids who reminded me what blasé really meant. Just look at those unimpressed faces. Oh take me back home.
On one very special evening, Sereina decided to dress up as an Indian and do a lot of drugs. I asked where I should take the photo, she said the bathroom of course. The eyeliner she used to paint those tribal markings on her face smudged, so I think she used a cigarette butt to touch them up.
FUR IS ALWAYS IN. Especially if it’s with a snakeskin handbag.
I like you because you’ve got that scuzzy french look to you. And maybe a little bit of jaundice even.
This young frauline seemed very inconvenienced when I asked her to take off her jacket. But the result is pretty zuper, as the Germans say.
I find myself thoroughly enjoying the cover of this week’s Mirror, featuring the boys behind Nu Ravers On the Block! We’ll be at the one year anniversary, taking snaps of your cute faces, so here’s hoping you’ll all be making it out there!
Read the article by the fantastic mr. Jack Oatmon here to find out more about the boys’ day job.
And check out these photo albums for photos from previous Nu Ravers parties! We’ve been going to these little shindigs ever since it was back at Vinyl, living it up with glow-sticks. One of the most memorable moments was the night (pre-shut up you twit), where I lost my camera. The very same one that I have now. I’m just goddamn lucky. Enough reminiscing, here’s some pics:
And a few more on flickr, by various lovely people, from before this blog, the ones I took are under the account name mariliscardinal. See you folks Saturday at the SAT!
Yeah yeah, the party was Saturday and the photos are still m.i.a. Life’s tough, but you know, we’ll all get through it if we stick together. I’m still recovering right now, so hopefully these will keep you busy until the 300-something other photos reach the world wide web. Maybe? Let’s hope! For those of you who weren’t there and missed out, the lovely Martha ‘Martika’ Arguilar turning 21 and it all went down in the indoor parking lot of the Villeneuve Estates that turned into one of the most fun photo ops in a while. Think 2 hot mamas with black leotards with stockings on their heads (coming soon, soooo many of those photos), think Goldie Lock and the 3 bears, think about Cary’s 3 outfit changes. It was just good and fun.
This birthday girl scores the title of best facebook event tag line i think: “Because I’ll only turn legal again, once!”
See? Goldie Locks!!! The weirdest part of the night, was right when we were about to leave, there was a reaaaaaally heated argument about how that tale ends, if anyone knows, comment or email, i’m curious, but too lazy for google. I say they eat G. Lockz.
This is Erin pre-makeup. For some reason I felt really responsible for the bear faces and kept forcing them to come for makeup touchups.
I think the whole “concept” behind this photo is that the cops just showed up and we’re hidden behind a sheet and trying to be incognito. Bet the flash from my camera didn’t tip anyone off that there was someone there..
Final outfit change I believe, yes?
Shut up you twit!
