Dear artists.. stop prostituting yourself!

"It's going to be great exposure for you!" or .. "This is going to be great for your book!" .. You also must have experience, be fabulous and have connections with high end designers .. Really? bla bla bla.. Doing free work should only be for getting experience when you are starting up. To all artists out there.. Stop prostituting yourself! Watch this.. trust me!


Douglas Coupland’s amazing home


Spools of thread are on display as they would be in a tailor shop, another nod to Mr. Hirst's work. When guests come over to the house Mr. Coupland invites them to pull on the string.

Haider put a spell on me ♥

Myself and the amazing Haider Ackermann

"Dear
Haider, thank you for all the goosebumps you gave me last Tuesday. It was my first time in a museum and it was amazing! I wish it would of lasted all night long.." Of course, I am talking about Haider Ackermann's fashion show on June 1 at the ROM. This successful event was organized by the High-End Yorkville boutique, 119 Corbo, the exclusive Toronto retailer for Haider Ackermann.

This master designer draper "put a spell on" everyone in the room showing the most spectacular pieces, perfectly odd models and a powerful music
."I put a spell on you" of both Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Marilyn Manson complimented the Collection à merveille! I had some the best chocolates! So much that I lost count of how many pieces I savored.. some Leonidas fresh Belgian chocolates perhaps?

Each
outfit coming out was my favorite.. all the way until the end. He saved the best for last. It was a stunning floor lenght dress and yes, it was my favorite! A true piece of Art. A piece of Art that belongs in a museum. :)




It was a beautiful show and I am speechless by his talent & vision. I had the pleasure to meet him after the show and he is immediately lovely! There no dough that Haider has already put his creative mark in the world of high fashion.
