Vancouver's fashion industry is hosting Fashion's Night OUT!, a fashion show and cocktail reception at V Lounge in Yaletown on Tuesday, March 8.

The proceeds from the evening will go to support Out in Schools, a program that brings queer films to local high schools to raise awareness about homophobia and bullying.

Why are fashion and the gay community such a great fit?

 

Not sure what to wear? Listen to that voice asking, "What would Bruno do?"

You know it's right.

Word of mouth tells me this is one of the best theatre productions to hit Vancouver in years. I love hype, and I can't wait to get my hot paws on tickets.

The Whistler Film Festival is celebrating its 10th year running this week, and they're screening the Yves Saint Laurent documentary L'Amour Fou. The film focuses on the life of the famous French designer, beginning with his start at the House of Dior as a fresh-faced 21-year-old. It also depicts his relationship with life partner Pierre Berge.

The film is screening Sat, Dec 4th @ 7:15pm at the Whistler Village 8 Cinema. You can book tickets here.

Ultra's coming to town and you better get yo' ass down to Celebrities this Saturday to celebrate. Why am I so excited? Because a certain somebody had a sit-down chat with La Naté this week and she is AMAZING!

And you should remember this... or if you're like me, you only sorta do.

Have a good weekend, y'all!   

It's red wine season. I know this because the sun goes down by 5pm and there's no better way to whittle away the next 16 hours of darkness than with a sophisticated syrah and some not-so-sophisticated friends.

If you like reds as much as I do, you're going to like the sound of this: some innovative importers have managed to bring an amazing selection of Spanish wines -- from the region made famous by Don Quixote no less -- to BC liquor stores. I went to a tasting by AIS Wine Imports this past Monday at Boneta in Gastown and had a full case of Hispanic panic. It turns out I love Spanish wines almost as much as I love Spanish men. Who knew.

Here's some more good news: these are value-driven wines -- you should be able to find many of them in stores in Vancouver for under $20.

My favourites by far were the 2003 Bodegas Yuntero Selección Reserva

and the 2009 Vitivinos Anunciación Azua
