Serendipity
There has been something that has been bringing me so much joy this year and I can’t contain myself anymore, I just have to share it.
So on the 9th of February, I went to this event as you may recall. I wasn’t even supposed to attend but someone offered me their VIP ticket since the weather was really bad. It was actually way past freezing, I am guessing double digits past zero. It was also in the middle of a snow storm and trust me, even I didn’t want to go. I decided to go anyway at the very last minute.
I met this tall, handsome stranger and we hit it off right away. I instantly thought of setting him up with my girlfriend and I set the ball rolling for a blind date.
Below are the text messages I received from the both of them after their blind date.
Believe it or not, he gets her flowers every single time he sees her, no joke!
They are getting along so well its not even funny anymore, his friends are beyond ecstatic and his equally hot and taller older brother and I have become good buddies… I am looking to find him a girlfriend too.
My girl (who is quite the impressive catch on her own) and her new man took me out for dinner last night, came picked me up and would you believe it…
HE GOT ME FLOWERS TOO!!!! This guy is the man of every girls dreams, my girlfriend is really happy and his brother and I think they will get married!!!
As if it could’t get any better, when he and his brother found out that I had never been to a cottage, they were in disbelief. They have forced me to block off every long weekend this summer because, they are taking me to Muskoka!!!! I have always wanted to go and apparently they have a really nice cottage… two cottages on different lakes to be precise.
Now, isn’t that the best story ever?
JOY!
Fashionista Tuesdays
There was supposed to be some sort of protest going on yesterday where the hactivist group Anonymous urged the citizens of the world to stay away from the internet for 1 day. This was to protest some sort of law proposed by the U.S government which if passed, would impede on peoples privacy online.
Well, even though I tried and failed to stay away, I did minimize the amount of hours spent online. I hope my minimal abstinence was failed and made a difference. Its like I got to take a day off from blogging but I am back!
Below are the most stylish celebs of the week who pulled off immaculate 10’s across the board in my eyes.
Matthew McConaughey in Vivienne Westwood.
A friend of mine just wrapped up a movie with Matthew McConaughey where he plays a man suffering with HIV. I suppose this is why he has has been looking very skinny lately, he must have been doing it for the role. Supposedly he is very good in the movie, like Academy Award good, we shall see when it comes out- Scoop 
Karolina Kurkova in Bluemarine. Before you go saying "its unfair, she is a supermodel", I have to remind you that there are many women of her means and stature that don't pull it off as beautifully as she does.
POGO Gala 2013
What an enchanting evening it was last night as I attended the annual POGO Gala whose proceeds go to the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario. I still insist and proclaim this to be the Best Dressed of all the charities, functions and events that go on in Toronto, an opinion shared by many in the know. I would also add that it is the one with the most charming attendees.
I wore a vintage dress from the 1950's, someone said I looked like a princess...that stuck with me all night. Christian Louboutin shoes and Prada purse.
Lets just cut to the chase, she was my absolute favorite. Imagine how challenging it would be to execute such confidence and look good at it while pregnant.
The dress I most wanted to own last night was this silk taffeta (I think) white Gucci dress, worn by the always lovely Deena Pantaleone Reale.
Then there is the only girl in the world whose closet I would trade mine for, the always on point, Jenna Bitove. Her dress was by Prabal Gurung and bejeweled shoes by Prada.
I love these two, the sweetest. The lady on the right was in David Dixon and the black dress was by Tadashi Shoji.
Another item of clothing that I wanted for myself was this Giambattista Valli coat He is my favorite designer.
Best dressed man I would say, I love a 3 piece suit.
The party got into full swing with live art, silent auctions, cocktails and dancing.
Yana did dance the night away
Cute party attendee in pretty dress
You know how I love my fellow African sightings, these two pretty ladies were from Eritrea.
I think my favorite part of the evening was seeing all the adorable looking couples having a good time, it looked like it was all about being equally yoked. Check them out below.
These two were my favorite of the evening, ten years and counting!
Sharp
I ran into these two lovebirds again!!! The picture on the right is from last September and the left is from last night. They are clearly getting more comfortable around the photographer- perfection!
Massive @ The AGO
Last night I attended the annual Massive party at the Art Gallery Of Ontario ( AGO). A must attend event that is always sold out and full of unexpected action around every corner. The event spans four floors and each one with its own theme and DJ.
This years theme was GOLD, curated by multidisciplinary Toronto artist, Justin Broadbent (I think I know him) revealing the early renaissance, stories and secrets in Florentine art.
Check out the festivities!
Like I mentioned, this years theme was Gold.
I wore a velvet Bill Blass gown accented with a Versace gold neck piece.
A beehive of debauchery
More gold
There was a hot band playing
Hair guru Jie Matar of Salon Jie and guest

I liked her dress too!
THEN! There was this picture I took.
Grace Bol
This beauty from South Sudan has been serving major face for about 3 seasons and has definitely made a name for herself. Her star is still on the rise and I love her. Meet Grace Bol.
Women, You Can Do It All
I was thinking to myself the other day, how did it turn out that men won the battle of the sexes? They basically rule over women in the world today.
Depending on the geographic location, women can be owned, sold and bought like property. In other countries, they can’t even drive a car or go anywhere without a designated male companion. What seems to be unanimous around the world is that, it is an unwritten societal rule that being a man is more advantageous than being a woman.
What puzzles me is, how the hell did this happen? Somewhere down the evolution process, there must have been a very clever and devious group of men that set the ball rolling and got us to where we are today.
I am only puzzled because, as powerless as women have been made to be, they exude so much power! Not only is there not a difference in intellect between the sexes but, the only identifiable difference is physical strength… brute strength.
Even though it does take two to tango, ultimately, it is the woman who can give birth to a child and produce the offspring for the man to continue the genealogy of life. Speaking of reproduction, men go CRAZY over women, they can’t live without them! This is why I cannot understand how women are so blind to all the powers that they possess.
I mean, in nature and in the animal kingdom, you should see all the hoops that men have to go through and jump before securing a mate or partner. They really have to exert all the energy they can to impress a female. When did this change in the human mammal?
Women of the world, you need to wake up and turn back this crappy mental evolution- REVOLUTION!
Introducing; Yityish ‘Titi’ Aynaw
I can’t even begin to imagine what it would take for an orphan born in Ethiopia, immigrating to Israel at age 12, joining the army then, randomly entering Miss Israel to become the FIRST ever black Miss Israel! WOW! That is the story of Yityish ‘Titi’ Aynaw.
Yityish 'Titi' Aynaw, the Ethiopian born Miss Israel 2013
So inspiring is her story that U.S President Barack Obama requested an audience with her on his first visit to Israel.
Night At The Museum
What a fun event last night and the theme was Ancient Civilization. People came out in droves and dressed to impress Empress.
This is what I wore, Grecian goddess was a popular theme
I loved this dress
Which was similar to this dress
This girl was flawless
I ran into the Toronto Argonauts star players Joe Eppele (in the toga) and Mike Bradwell. Serious question, have you ever seen a hand that big?
Egyptian goddesses
Ken and Barbie
Hot

Cute couple
Jesus graced us with his presence. He was 6'3
Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Wayne- High School
I am so glad that my girl Nicki Minaj is over her cartoonish phase which was really (in my oppinion) not the most flattering on, especially on such a sexy girl!
Nicki Minaj serves up a lot of sex appeal in her latest video featuring lil Wayne. Check out High School below.
Azealia Banks- No Problems
I am really feeling No Problems by Azealia Banks
When you rock long hair like that, you just have to swing it from side to side. I bet that’s how Naomi Campbell dances as well.
