The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. Month: September, 2012. September 13, 2012. In a city of famous buildings, the one I wanted to see didn’t actually exist. Officially, the address of this New York landmark is 245 East 73. Now, going back to New York at the age of 26, I know myself. I may not own a T-shirt that says I’m a Carrie (and not just because HBO doesn’t sell them in men’s sizes! But I can admit I’m a ‘Sex and the City’ obsessive. I drew a map in my notebook, along with the lo...

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. Black and blue and red all over. In general, I keep the inanities of the 21. Century at arm’s length. But even I fell down the rabbit hole when it came to That Dress. You know the one I mean. It must be the first time a dress worn by the mother of the bride made international news. (And I thought you weren’t supposed to upstage your daughter.). The argument went global, so social media experts and viral marketers. March 4, 2015. Fill in your details ...

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. Month: August, 2012. August 26, 2012. As anyone who follows my Tumblr. But I’ve been told that my acknowledgement of grey areas doesn’t fit comfortably with our digital age. Opinions on the internet are as black and white as the pixels you are staring at. For some, it’s not enough that I previously wrote about how blogging may be hurting writers. I should have written blogging is silly and a waste of time! Or, alternatively, yay for blogging! It is a...

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. World Mastercard Fashion Week Day 1: VAWK. Photo: George Pimentel / Getty Images. I keep saying I’ve retired from fashion writing but, like Cher with her unending farewell tours, it never seems to stick. Through WORN. First up was Sunny Fong for VAWK. Sunny and I go way back (and by that I mean I rooted for him when he was on ‘Project Runway Canada’). Also one time I approached him at Starbucks and said I was a fan. His whole face turned ...I couldn’...

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. Month: March, 2014. March 21, 2014. World Mastercard Fashion Week Day 3: Christopher Bates and Brunch. George Pimentel / Getty Images. No, Max, I warned myself. You cannot go straight to the food. Remember society. Mingle. Schmooze. I did a once around, stopping to talk to designers who piqued my interest. I complimented Muhammad Alamgir (for L’Momo. On a gorgeous aquamarine dress and Jon De Porter. I conducted a phone interview with her. Christopher...

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. Sometimes a loss isn’t an ending but a step towards a new end. I realized that at the nomination meeting for Jennifer Hollett. Running as a New Democrat in the newly created federal riding of University Rosedale. Previously, I used Tumblr for animated gifs of drag queens. Now it had a slightly more practical purpose. Arriving at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre. Who asked tough questions on important issues. But maintained it didn’t have to be...

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. Month: November, 2011. November 29, 2011. It’s Time to Play the Music…. Or would it be so disappointing that their love would turn to bitter hatred, forcing them back to the message boards to tear the new annoying characters to shreds. We all know how it turned out for Star Wars fans in 1999 when the release of ‘The Phantom Menace’ ruined their childhoods , making George Lucas, once their idol, more despised than a Sith lord. The new Muppets movie (s...

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. A Fan Reacts to Sex and the City 3. In one of the final episodes of ‘Sex and the City’ red-haired Miranda Hobbes, played by blonde-haired Cynthia Nixon, has proposed to her on-again-off-again boyfriend Steve over three dollar beers. She hates everything to do with romance and phoniness but, after she tells her friends of the engagement, Carrie, Charlotte and Samantha get misty-eyed verklempt. That pleased no one.

The Story So Far…. How Pop Culture Leads and Misleads. World Mastercard Fashion Week Day 2: Mercedes-Benz Start Up. George Pimentel / Getty Images. When my friend Jess Bartram and I entered the cavernous presentation space for the Mercedes-Benz Start Up presentation models were already standing on platforms on the runway, still like mannequins. On their boxes were little triangular spikes. I like their wee mountains, Jess said. They are human beings! It’s the Eye of Sauron, Jess whispered. In between the...
