Today I'm sick in bed.
Yesterday I was hot shit at Threads2006, the annual fashion show featuring the fabulous indie fashion designers of Toronto in support of Dress Your Best. A charity that assists the underprivileged and underserved men and women of Toronto to acquire business suitable attire for job interviews and work. It's a worthy cause and I was more than happy to roll down to Revival and go support it. Arm and arm with my crew, Terlical, Jax, Will(amina), Léners, Anna & Adriana we scoped the best spot for prime model watching. But not before we found Edible fruit arrangements dotting the bar. Delicious and attractive we started to nosh right away. Pineapple, Strawberries, Cantelope and Honey Dew.

Honey Yum!

Hosted by Kim D'eon from ET Canada and featuring performances by Nicole of MTV and Xquisit fame, it was a wicked night of fashion, fashionable and me, the fashionably fashionest!

The night began with a stress: A fashion show to go to and I had nothing to wear. The outfit I had so carefully mapped out in my mind was impossible to assemble. The important pieces required were not to be found anywhere so I went with the standard Karmacake uniform:

Blue sparkly top with a dramatic v-neck and skinny legged denim pants


Once dressed it was out the door and on to the night!
The overall fashion sense of the was a little flat, but, then again... it is Toronto on a Thursday night. But, I do give props to those who tried except for the Chictard who decided on resurrecting the acid washed jeans look.

"Yes, your bum does look big in those pants."

But, heck maybe that's what she was going for?

Back to the fashion show!

The night featured numerous designers and because I forgot the camera at home, we're unable to show you their work. Few stand outs include Dagg & Stacey for their chic twist on tweed women's work attire, and Narcissist for their increble $100 dress that can convert into 5 different looks.

We love that.

The models were green for the most part, but gorgeous and provided by NAM models. One girl upset us all due to her excessively protruding pelvic bone. It got to the point where the majority of folks in the audience had to turn away. To be so beautiful and so repellent! In the end she'll have a much brighter career than I ever did!

Now the fashion show totalled 2 hours and there was nary a place to rest our weary stilletto supported feet. One downside, no chairs in the VIP section.

The night was planned by Miss Elina Chow of Plan-E events and was attended by everyone. Including my friend Erol who is also a writer for Toronto-Franco.com.

So let's sum up the evening:

Great night
Great fashion

Great cause.

You all must make a point to attend next year, it was a fabulous show.
