The Ultimate Kiss Off





It's got nothing to do with Gene Simmons. Nor does it involve swapping spit and mono with strangers for the benefit of a charity. I'm also not talking about one of my favourite Violent Femme's songs.

This is the ORIGINAL Kiss-Off, a stain remover that I think everyone needs to have on hand. It claims to tackle (with success) lipstick, makeup, wine, coffee (right there it's already a product designed for me!), baby spots (whatever those are, I am certain they're unruly and unwanted), pet stains, blood, grease and my fave: mystery stains! (Sounds like the aftermath of a night of drinking)

Now if you know me at all then you know I do NOT (EVER) post any product that I have not tested or swear by, so I made an afternoon of this one. Using an old white tee as my sacrificial lamb, I spotted it with espresso, red Sharpie ink, lipstick and lip gloss (I still believe they are two completely different beasts for stains), and red wine. Following the directions on the Kiss-Off, I proceeded to remove all the stains in question. *I could not find a baby, nor was I willing to use an animal in said testing. Cruelty Free, baby!*

Kiss-Off is truly worth its $3.99 price tag and is the size of a small glue stick, so it makes its home into my cozy makeup satchel in my purse. It also adds to my MacGyver factor the next time someone spills something (usually wine) on themselves (usually me).

It's also gender friendly, so get one for your BF, BFF or hubby. Pick up yours at Curry's Art Supplies. It's where I got mine.


Smooches,

Chicago, See....

I don't know what it was about Chicago that had me talking like a 1920's gangster, but I loved it! I also adored this incredible City By The Lake, with its big shoulders and all. Here are some of the highlights of my first trip to Chi-Town with my darling friend, Butters: Art and Architecture... The Art Institute of Chicago is a must for all the art obsessed. It's $25 USD per adult ticket but you could easily spend half a day there, soaking in all of the centuries of art they have on display. If that's too steep on your pocket book, check out Millennium Park, the home of "The Bean!", which is actually Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate sculpture.  It's a fascinating piece in front of the city's skyline of buildings that reflects everything; people, the city, the sky, your dreams, aspirations, et cetera. It is among many other sculptures in the park that are free to snap numerous selfies with. Across the street from the iconic bean sits Chicago...

Get Yer ROKs Off

During this year's TIFF, I found myself at a gathering of super kewl kids and various actors at Toronto's Cheval. Giddying up the festivities with some bling at the party , ICEROK Jewelery was front and center on the décolletages around me. The Canadian design team behind the chic jewelery line is pumping out some really timeless pieces. Already well placed on the chests of L.A.'s celebrity DJ's and select celebrities, it's only a matter of time before the Canadian market takes note. My personal fave is the wee "Silver Spoon". Besides having watched every episode of the 80's show, I love this charm necklace ( $150 CND ) and I end up losing count of the compliments by the end of the evening. For those feeling less controversial and more femme fatale, then pick up the Curvy Dagger necklace ($120 CND). You can check out their wares on the website www.icerok.com and leave the holiday mall trauma to someone else by visiting an independent retailer near yo...

Uh-oh, It's Magic...

Image
It dawned on me today, whilst chatting with various fashion vendors at the Burroughs Building, that not only was it cold outside, but my skin was in dire need of some serious moisture. At one point in a heated conversation about, of all things, the crappy flea markets I have attended, I caught a glance at my hands. In the bold lighting they looked like some old lady's hands. OLD LADY HANDS! Jeez, what happened to me, I thought and more importantly, HOW!?? Being a natural born "fixer" of all things broken (friends, boyfriends and retail service in society as we know it), I began scanning the room for a remedy. My co-worker and bubbly European lovely, Sabine shook her head and said: "Egyptian Magic". I have heard about it in the past, but never given it a go until Sabine handed me a small sample. After instructing me to put it where ever I felt I needed "help", I envisioned smearing it all over my bank card, my boyfriend, some of my high school friends t...
