Brace Face

The Must-Have Spring Look
Article by Lauren Valentine
Brace yourself – metal mouth is on the rise and orthodontics are becoming more popular (and sexier!) then ever. In fact, an article published in early 2008 declared some 4 million people in Canada and the US wear orthodontic braces, and an estimated 1 million (25%) of these people are 18 years or older.
When I marched into The Brace Place in September 2007, I was 21, recently graduated from college, and had three months left to suck the teat on my parent's health insurance as a "dependant". I was hesitant about this whole tinsel teeth thing but I was also cheap, and realized if I was ever going to do this, now was the time.

Tulle and Lace…

In a thicket of tulle and lace, he finds her. He fumbles for her hand and then gently pulls her to the dance floor. The pale moon blankets the gymnasium in a veil of teenage lust and curiosity. Together they sway side to side, holding each other with a mutual restraint that masks the desire that implodes within.

SJP does London premiere
Submitted by Olga Barsky on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 12:43.
We couldn’t help ourselves and had to post immediately. This ensemble has sparked quite the debate around SDTC headquarters. While we are unanimously gaga over SJP’s Alexander McQueen dress, the Philip Treacy hat is a whole other story. With a chalk line drawn down the center, the office is officially at war. The left side of the room has been overtaken with Pro-Hatters who, Sharpies in hand, are manically scribbling WE HEART HATS on poster board, sticky notes, and other available surfaces. On the right, we have the Mad-Hatter-Haters who are busy rehearsing angry chant with accompanying clapping and desk pounding. A tad dramatic perhaps, but the hat warrants such behaviour. Is it a rose garden? Fruit platter? Science project documenting insect species found in South American rain forests? What are your thoughts SDTC readers, and more importantly, would Carrie approve?

The MET Costume Institute Gala is an annual feast for the eyes that brings together A list celebrities, models, designers, and fashion insiders decked in above and beyond Oscar worthy couture. This year’s $7,500 a head extravaganza was in celebration of the newest MET exhibition – SUPERHEROES: FASHION AND FANTASY, and honoured Italian superstar designer Giorgio Armani.
American Vogue’s Anna Wintour took the action hero theme and ran with it, or rather had her assistants do the running for her. She showed up in the evening’s most daring gown – a Space Odessey inspired, Chanel chic voluminous concoction designed by Mr. Lagerfeld.

Hello Charlie!

Having dreamt about her very own store since she was 17, owner Erin Swan must have been on cloud nine with the opening of Charlie in March. Having cut her teeth as a buyer, Erin’s boutique houses a fantastic range of dresses, accessories, and pants (although they were all gone by the time I got there), a testament to Erin’s trained eye. If she can sell out of pants, the woman can do anything!

Brenda Walsh

Darcy from Degrassi:TNG has been cast as the new Brenda Walsh character in the 90210 remake. The only show to come close to 90210 in my heart has been Degrassi:TNG, and I have to give my girl Darcy props for rocking it with my TV crush Spinner (who ps, would make an AMAZING Dylan McKay). To celebrate my 2 favourite TV shows colliding and send off this wee Canadian actress with some proper 9-oh fashion tips, can we please take a moment to honour the trends of Mizz Brenda Walsh? Tell me She Does the City, what Brenda Walsh trend do you want to see recreated?
Paint Me Over
to look like Uma Thurman

How is it that when we sit around and talk about movies, Pulp Fiction still makes an appearance in the conversation? And of course, someone has to mention how smokin' Uma Thurman looks in the movie and that fact is undeniable.
How to get her look? This one is so easy, but it requires some... long-term changes. Namely getting blue contacts if you don't already have blue eyes, dying your hair black, and cutting it shoulder-length with bangs that are just above the eyebrow and straight across.
