gratuitous man-repelling.

 Oh boy. If Leandra could see me now.


Mental UK-inspired facinator, sure to repel. Check.


Over-the-top all over sequined jacket with exaggerated shoulders. Check...

 Crazy-ass vagine-enhancing silky and high waisted trousers. Oh yes. Check.


To be honest, I quite enjoy walking down the street, with a mad strut on, behind my shades and noticing all the 'jealous' faces. HA HA!

As the rain has been consistently falling for about three days and according to my iPhone and the weather network, we are destined to enjoy this misery for the rest of the week. But, no bother, I'll just put on silly outfits and dance around and show them to all of you and the new things I have found over the past little while.

Ok now add a bit of something extra shiny just for good measure!

Anyways, enough dress up...here's the round up...

Ira Cohen is an amazing photographer who has been documenting the movers and shakers for the past 50 odd years from a different, psychedelic and intimate perspective. The man spent the 1960s in Tangiers amongst the company of William S. Burroughs and Paul Bowles while experiencing,... 

       well, what do you expect to experience with the drug/alcohol addicted author? I'll just leave that to your imagination, or check out wikipedia. 

He passed away past this month and The Guardian (link) is displaying an offering of his diverse life's work. Here's a favourite of mine of Burroughs with a python, check it as well as a few other gems:

                                           

 Allen Ginsberg

 Jimi Hendrix

 "Master Musicians"

"Street Urchin" (literally what this oeuvre is called .... can I bum a cig?)

Next, this is a bit silly but pretty funny. I'm not a fan of Jen Aniston, I find her rather irritating actually with her perfect figure (in that orange viv westwood number) and water promoting. 
She just did a viral video with SmartWater that seriously made me laugh out loud. Maybe this rain is getting to me but for a giggle:

Now this may be a bit late in the game but the film by David Lachapelle Rize (link) came on the other night and I really got into it. Aside from the rock hard bodies of these dancers, the opening of the film reads: the footage in this film has not been sped up in any way. Serious talent. 

Alice Ridley's Amazing Grace (who interestingly-or not really actually-was last seen on America's Got Talent) was stunning as I am currently appreciating the gospel. 
I love the rest of the soundtrack as well, even Aggy makes an appearance, bless her. Also, Dizzee Rascale track 'Fix Up, Look Sharp' is fun. Check it out if you haven't already!


On more music news, a producer friend who has been producing up and coming talent in the UK and writing for #1 pop bands has shared a little gem with me. BlakStar is this sexy young thing from up north who has been touted as the English Drake, only better looking. Is that even possible? Check out the band Playground Mafia 

Have a listen here to BlakStar's own tracks:

FROM POSITION TO IGNITION

Sexy break-it-down, bump 'n grind RnB tune with sweet flow and loop. HOT.

U KNOW HOW WE DO ft jamz

Wicked fun dance tune. If you like a little hip hop/electro/rap, you'll get into this. Très catchy.

Give me some gaga any day. Especially when she's looking this mental!!

Have to say this, never seen gaga's boobs look so good! Normally seen squished, taped, or mummified beyond recognition, these tatas look bright and perky. Also loving the motif, veil & cape, so Phantom of the Opera! Well played.

I LOVE KEITH HARRING! 

Hommage to my childhood t shirts!

LaraStoneXVMag. Love it! So hot.

I'll end there with a bit of colour as an appreciation for all the wonderful bright cosmic colours that have arrived for spring. I heart colour blocking. So fun.


Oh, and this.

Well it wouldn't be Bitch in a Suit without a bit of vulgarity.


Don't forget your umbrella.

I have always believed that more is certainly more.

More sequins, bows, ruffles, gold, whatever you like, to your taste, because honestly, it's you who's got to walk out the front door everyday.

I know that I usually walk outside and look pretty nuts in my bizarre ensembles, but I guess that's what makes us all individuals.

I picked up this skirt over the holidays at Sense of Independence in Toronto, very cute shop run by a pair of very savvy sisters. I enjoy the thick felt skirt with the front peplum-style ruffle avec a peak of satin. Tres cute.

Also, who doesn't love gingham? At 69 Vintage I got this blk/wht number with the bows which cover the buttons, it's totally a Man Repeller but whatever, it's for you ladies, anyway.

Also been playing around with some red lips again, and silly filters. Merci MacBook Pro, how I waste time the time with you.

Today I got to soak in my Montreal's artsy Mile End creative types, checking out the fabulous creations at the March edition of Puces Pop by Pop Montreal, the 6th art fair. A few wonderful finds; Julia at La Raffinerie had some lovely pieces from vintage pins, these amazing necklaces wrapped in silk ribbon adorned with vintage rings and other trinkets.

These fantastic monster pillows at Velvet Moustache, to spruce up your dull sofa or as a baby shower gift. The girls and I loved Mr. Hou Hou.

Finally, enjoyed Carococo's beautiful prints on cotton handmade paper and in homemade frames, Chasse & Pêche is my favourite.

Some beautiful ceramics, confitures and homemade couture were on display, lots to see and take in.

I always enjoy les puces and look forward to the vintage sale in April! Yay.

This week has been pretty hectic but I think I'm going to relax, regroup for the week ahead and watch The Craft.

I think we all at one point either wanted to be this one:

But, some of us, including yours truely, always wanted to be the bad ass bitch witch:

Ugh, Skeet Ulrich just got blown out the window. So good.
