In a televised performance that demanded R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Franklin let it all hang out: she tore off her ponytail hairpiece and tossed it onto the grand piano she was playing, revealing short tufts of her real hair. Biba “Premium Short Pony” hair extension, $4.99. Discount Beauty Supplies (1557 Eglinton W., 416-781-1629).

The Edible City | Coach House Books

Remember all those roti postings? This is what came out of it: an essay about growing up mixed, trying to learn how to make something that’s take-out in Port-of-Spain, take-out in Toronto.

Maybe I’ll see you at the launch?

Snapped this at the Dollar Store on Eglinton, not too far from Marlee. I love the turquoise, early-90s Arizona-like quality of this shirt dress.

The talk with Alexis today inspired me to find some more photos of Billie Holiday. I’m definitely going to make a headpiece like the one Billie is wearing for prom. :)

TLC - Red Light Special

UR BABY-MAKING SLOW JAM

(I feel like if 1990s TLC got to hang with 1980s Go-Go’s, it would of been a fine time had by all.)

A Chorus Line - Surprise

Michael Douglas? I feel like you totally Jack Colton your way through Zack.

Nonetheless, I still think this is magnificent because of the American Apparel (OG!) quality in the dancers’ leotards and sweats, and you know, the awesomeness that is 4:06-5:19. Punch! Kick! Turn! (Cue Red Light Special.)
