Vintage Photo of the Day!
This vintage Cynthia Rowley is so whimsical and so fun. I want to touch on a great way to transition summer to fall and make the most of your wardrobe.

Model Citizens Monster Mash is Only 9 Days away!
So we were going through the costumes over the last day or two and there are costumes from Covent Garden Opera House and the Metropolitan Opera Company for Operas such as Faust, Falstaff and Figaro- I don't think I have ever seen such amazing pieces. This might be the best Monster Mash yet!
Check out the photo above, shot by Local Photographer Lori Moss and styled by yours truly. Everyone looks totally awesome! These costumes are the kinds of things you will find at our 3rd annual Monster Mash Costume Sale at the Anna Templeton Centre on Saturday, October 16 from 10am-8pm.

MC's VIDEO OF THE DAY: I'm On Fire - Matt Andersen
One of my favourite artists to come out of Atlantic Canada ever, Matt Andersen really hits the old heartstrings with this one. I am just enthralled with this Bruce Springsteen cover.
Matt was one of the headliners at the Wreckhouse Jazz and Blues Festival last year in St. John's. If you missed it, make sure you get to see him the next time he is in our fair city. If you are not in the beautiful city of St. John's, you can get his tunes on itunes. Enjoy Kiddies!
