I try to avoid buying black or charcoal coats. When everyone has a similar coloured coat, you just blend in with the rest. Besides, winter’s cold and it gets dark early, so why do you want to…disappear? One reason why I try to look for brighter colours (or at least, not something dark) when I’m […]

It’s October 2, which means that Thanksgiving (in Canada) is just under two weeks away. In the past, I’ve experimented with baking my own soda bread (somewhat of a disaster – tried to make it in muffin cups only to have them stick to the cups!), made quinoa stuffing (delicious) and this year, I will […]
He has been known as Ziggy Stardust, Major Tom, Aladdin Sane and the Thin White Duke. He is a style chameleon and a true pioneer in the world of music and art. Though in his “Golden Years” now, he has shown legions of artistic rule-breakers who came after him how it’s done – and he […]
