BIAS takes the stage

Not that Bitch in a Suit needs an introduction or an explanation but I thought I would fill those of you in on the going's on with the orbital events this figure participates in. Although I wish I was more of an avid blogger (perhaps that will change...stay tuned) the music of Bitch in a Suit is really the jumping off point for this luscious diva.

Now, I don't mean to brag but seriously this event SURLESCHANTIERS ( http://www.facebook.com/surleschantiers) finally took it's climax (sorry Patti Clit & The Vulvotronics...real name, don't ask) once Bitch in a Suit took the stage.

Set in an old bathhouse (definitely the BIAS style) all the acts were from each corner of their discipline from a high maintenance band (L'Ours), fabulous acrobatics and circus freaks to pop art, the amazing Pachyderm Experience and of course, us.

Now, enough chatter, I hope you'll enjoy some photos from the gig below.

You'll note the three outfits:

1. Sequined jacket (vintage 69), 1 oversized gold earring (topshop), gold chain (gift

), black top (Fb), black tulled skirt with crinoline netting & gold chain (river island), black thigh high boots (random store on Mont Royal), oversized shades (Portobello Market)

2. Chanel-style jacket with leopard trim (Dawson College, costume dept) with handcrafted single (over) embellished shoulderpad (amazeballs), gold aviators (ray ban)

3. Fur stole (inheritance from gr.grandmother, monogrammed)

It's been a whale of a time.

It's over.

Happy New Year fond readers!

Well the holiday season has treated us well. Making our way west, Toronto-bound was an experience. Now that we have come and gone, we have eaten, I have apparently shed some weight (stress-related I'm sure...we all know I don't know what exercise means) and drank too many glasses of Champers on NYE2009-10.

Back into reality, people tend to think of January as the 'write-off' month. Well, let's think about it; the first week is done, the second week, people are slowly checking their emails, maybe looking for a new job, eating leftovers...whatever. By the time you get to the third week, you realize January is basically over.

It's a shame really because December is pretty much the same thing.
I'm not going to write a whole thing about the fact that December pretty much ends around the 5th as people get holiday crazy, food crazy and just plain crazy but that's over and done with and not very timely in my opinion.
So, moving forward...

Kids, January is a brilliant month. You realize that there is a whole new year ahead of you, people make resolutions, eat better, stop smoking/drinking/(insert your vice here) and start appreciating the world getting back on track. We're no longer in holiday mode and-thankfully- there aren't any coming up (if you count Valentines, we are no longer speaking) so let's embrace January together.

So here's to 2010, put on that cute outfit you bought over xmas (which you probably can't get into now, greedy...), have cocktail parties with your friends, catch up with them and laugh at all the BS you each had to deal with from family members over the holidays and now:
GET-OVER-IT.

So for me, these trends just simply do not die. Along with a defined and sculpted shoulder, electric blues on black, turbans, gold, studding, embellishments and Vogue, it just seems this era between the mid to late 80s to early 90s is continuing to influence the fashion world. I guess you could say my style is reminiscent of that time since I didn't exactly get to experience it to its potential...it's withdrawal.
Or maybe it's simply because I cannot get these accessories anywhere near this head of mine...

Sometimes you see the world in black and white

Sometimes it's nice to see clean silhouettes, even if you do end up looking like a gothic Jane Fonda.

These are my staple leggings. American Apparel black ribbed lame. I've also got my forest green unitard that makes me feel nine-years-old again. Those three inch brogues are Yves St. Laurent bought at the fabulous Pollyanna in Barnsley, UK. A gold chain, a gift from a friend who lived in Milano for a while.

Yup, gothic Jane Fonda.
