Valentino: The Last Emperor has been premiering at film festivals and special events around the world since last summer. Last night, I had the opportunity to go to the FASHION Magazine Vancouver pre-screening of Valentino: The Last Emperor, an insightful “behind-the-scenes” documentary filmed by Vanity Fair corresopndent, Matt Rymauer.
Despite capturing the creation of handsewn full length gowns, paraded by elegant models on the runway, and seeing intricate show sets designed and brough to life, the documentary, surprisingly, focuses more on the relationship between Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino’s lover and business partner. A portrait of a business partnership and a romance. Despite being in the shadows of another man’s success, Giancarlo Giammetti describes his supporting role of Valentino as “happiness”.
i was taking a stroll in Pacific Centre and came across this:
A new Aritzia store will be opening in Fall 2009, located on the upper level of Pacific Centre, by the dome entrance, replacing the old Le Chateau space. It will bedouble the size of the current Aritzia store. The new Le Chateau store is now located on the lower level and opened in mid- June.
…had the label’s signature “H” as the zipper-pull and was embellished with rhinestones and contemporary designs.
The new line of Dr. Choy T-shirts are out. Or as Dr. Choy himself would say, “A warmful cheer awaits you at this launch event. There are 2 new hunky designs for you to enjoy“. On Sunday June 14, from 2pm to 5pm, come to Comet Strip (5375 Parkwood Place) in Richmond to celebrate with Dr. Choy and his posse. There will be a BBQ, drinks, and more food for you to enjoy with chums. All proceeds of the food sales will be going to the Canadian Cancer Society of Canada. For the kids (young + old alike), a “Jungle Safari Bounce Castle” will be making an appearance. All you really need to do is take a look at the below invitation to see the funky style Dr. Choy designs in.
As for prices, launch specials (cash only) are as follows:
So come out and “ENJOY the CHOY”. If you can not make it to the launch event, T-shirts will be available online at regular price.

For the past two years, the topic of “eyelash extensions” came up every once in a while in conversation. But none of us had actually gotten them done … until now. Like every upcoming trend, eyelash extentions have become more acceptable, more accessible and slightly more affordable. Although this was not my first time visiting Wink!, it wa the first time I tried their salon services. Vivian Ko of Wink! Beauty Lounge (67 East Cordova Street) offered me her services of a “natural eyelash set” (up to 30 lashes per eye for $80) last week and I LOVED IT.
