Guide to TIFF’10 4AM License
We've been taking our vitamins and getting our beauty sleep. We've stood in line for mani pedi's and booked our blow outs. It's that time of year again, people, time for the great tradition of the TIFF gauntlet. It's the Cannonball Run of Toronto events. 10 days of celebs, dinner reservations, pretending to care about movies, and partaaaays. If it's your first TIFF, you'll probably spen all your time up in Dorkville trying to catch a glimpse of Helen Mirrin or Clive Owen lunch at that vile One or coming out wine-drunk from risotto and low lighting at Sotto Sotto. If...
Retail Therapy: 69 Vintage
69 Vintage is owned and operated by Kealan Sullivan. When it was first opened, it was the perfect compliment to bar/club, The Social, next door and Spin Gallery (now closed) above. Since opening, 69 Vintage has become a cornerstone in the Queen West community. Kealan has helped dress everyone from bands, VJs and to the ladies at PinkMafia for all our red carpet events. Recently, they have expanded into a second location that also has a by-the-pound section on Bloor Street.

CMF: Best and Worst
Wednesday Night:
Zeus, Jason Collett, and Bahamas at Lee's Palace [caption id="attachment_7612" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Bahamas"][/caption] Jason Collett has always a staple in my music library but for some reason, Wednesday night was my first experience with his backing band Zeus and Afie Jurvanen's one-man-magical act, Bahamas. The three groups came together in what I would call one of the most incredible collaborations I've ever seen live. The stage was set like a cozy living room (equipped with vintage lampshades that kept getting in the way of Collett's flounce of hair and during Mike O'Brian's guitar...Trouble & Bass’ Star Eyes Turning Her Swag On
Being one of the two femme fatales (Jinder holding down the fort as the other femme) on hot Brooklyn bass crew Trouble & Bass, Star Eyes is proving to those all around that she's ready for to turn her swag on and have people take note. Her long standing career as DJ dates back to when she was just 15 years old - she's been knocking down the door of the boy's club and hasn't looked back. Her career brought her notoriety and some shine: being recognized in the press as one of the first female Drum & Bass...

The Social. Home-of-the-hipster is now the haunt of 14 year olds with fake I'd's,some cool kids who went to northern and are back from uni, and a couple of us oldies who just want a place to get drunk and see our friends on a Monday. The goal:to test out the dopest,most unique arm-or on the market courtesy of chains of love. The dj was good. The drinks were flowing. And the kids were taking their time being "crazy partiers" by the bathroom.
One rad chick commented on the chain garter I was wearing, citing it as...Tapedeck Bros New Mix

The Gossip Stole My Heart
The Gossip blew my mind last night at The Opera House. I mean, Beth Ditto can sing. And I don't mean in the way that singers can sing. I mean in the way that Aretha can bring you to your knees with one note sing. She can can reach inside you and squeeze your guts out. She could make you do things that woman. Anything she wants, anytime she's ready. And I'm pretty sure she knows it. She was up on stage belting it out with no inner ears (and you just know the sound is junk up there) so...
Our TIFF Guide to The Best Of 4AM License
Here's our Guide to 4AM license in Toronto for International Film Festival (Click here for a downloadable guide!) Every club chomps at the celebrity bit during Film Fest but after years and years of parties, both official and un, we have become seasoned vets at this TIFF party biz. It's not about who's gonna be there (chances are you won't even get so much as a glance at Megan Fox at her party) it's more about who's in attendance on the dace floor. Whatever boring corporate bullshit you attend in Yorkville, or maybe you actually go to some...

The Vintage Clothing Shop Owner: Kealan Sullivan of 69 Vintage and Buy the Pound
After talking with the lovely ladies at Pink Mafia I have decided to begin writing about the “Who’s Who” in the current fashion industry. For the past few years I have expressed a strong desire to work within the industry but like many, found it difficult to learn about the many positions that exist in the fashion world. In my upcoming articles I hope to cover stylists, designers, fashion directors and any other influential players in fashion to keep you all informed on the many different positions out there.
