SHOES

One of the characteristics of student life is that there is more walking: from building to remote building, along immensely long corridors, from far-flung parking spots to mid-campus. The rhythm of your days is very different from office life, where

THE WOMAN WITH THE PAW PRINT TATOOS

Even if it hadn’t been for the trail of  paw-prints climbing up her breasts -starting right from the broad wobbly jelly part and moving up towards her collarbone, this woman would have stood out in the sea of conservatively-dressed well-toned

DRESSING ACROSS OCEANS

Even as I type, four girls out of five in Halifax are wearing shirt-dresses. True, they make a slender girl look four months pregnant, while an old veteran mother like myself looks at least seven months gone. But, they are

THE DRESSES

After my recent intense excitement over these dresses, I am prepared to admit they look quite flat in pics. Bear in mind that they look much in the flesh, on the flesh, and being so simple, I can get away with tons

SHOES

Below are the famous platforms from Montreal. Above are my favourite shoes from downtown Tehran, 1998 (or 1999?)  into which I continue to squeeze my expanded feet. I think I had better taste then, or perhaps they just made nicer shoes?

FUR HATS

My mum had one, a glamorous half-ball of soft white fur, elasticated at the edge for a tight fit around the head. I had never seen her wear it in real life, but I remember seeing old black-and-white photographs of

ROCK CHIC CHICK

Have you heard of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts? Neither had I. But I bet you have heard the song “I love Rock n’Roll” a hundred times, especially if you live in Halifax. One of the Haligonian radio DJs apparently

ADVERTISING SKULLS

The girl sitting next to me wore a black tee-shirt printed with funny cartoon skulls and a torn collar. The girl walking across the library wears a wolly bobbly hat with a knitted skull stuck on the front, where I would

PIERCINGS

I hate them, I hate them, I hate them, oh God, I hate them so much I can barely stand to look at a person who has pierced his or her nose/lips/brows/cheeks. I can’t decide which one I hate more-
