If you can stand the glamour!
Moose Jaw Fashion Week 2012 is beginning to pick up some momentum. Despite being snubbed by FASHION magazine’s Ceri Marsh (don’t take it personally, Moose Jaw — she probably hates all of Saskatchewan), the wise and gorgeous Danielle Meder of finalfashion.ca has wisely chosen to side with Auntie Fashion rather than incur the wrath of Zob. She even went as far as creating this lovely illustration for me to use in the promotional packages for the event.
I have been doing a little research about Canada’s Glamour Capital in order to plan the festivities. Did you know that TV legend Art Linkletter was born in Moose Jaw? 2012 will also mark his 100th birthday. Perhaps I can get him to host a special backstage segment at the event called Models Say the Darndest Things.
Moose Jaw is also the home of the Town ‘n’ Country mall. I like that name — it’s classy. More people should use that abbreviated spelling of the word and, like Viktor ‘n’ Rolf. Amperands are sooooo five years ago. Anyway, that reminds me; I should invite them.
I’ve also chosen “Moose Jaw Fashion Week: If you can stand the glamour!” as the official slogan of the event. According to their website, the Moose Jaw Union Hospital has twenty psychiatric beds for those of you who won’t be able to stand the glamour.
By the way, I am still looking for a Moose Jaw correspondent to assist me in planning the event. Interested parties can apply via the comments section below.

What is it about Canadian models? I was cruising through the Chanel Cruise collection on style.com this morning when I noticed at least five fabulous Canadian girls in the lineup.
It made me realize that I made a wise choice to call this country my home after the Marc Jacobs incident. Once I had accepted my new found mortality, I knew I needed to drink from the same fountain of gorgeousness that Linda Evangelista had been reared on — and the rest is history.
But now that I’ve been here a while I’m starting to see the influence that my presence has bestowed upon this vast nation. The people are getting better looking with each passing generation. Gunn, Alberta-native Julia Dunstall, for instance, would have been a youngster when I first moved to Canada, and look at her now! Just breathing the same air that I have respired makes people better looking. It’s uncanny!
For that reason, I’m a convinced that Moose Jaw Fashion Week 2012 is going to be a success beyond my wildest dreams. Only I’m going to have to make an effort to get to Canada’s Glamour Capital in the near future. How can I expect to make Moose Jaw the epicenter of the fashion world when I haven’t even set foot in the city?
In the meantime, I would like to advertise for a Moose Jaw correspondent for my blog. I need someone to be my liaison while I plan the most prestigious fashion event of the 21st century. Any interested Moose Jaw natives can contact me via the comments section below. Only the insanely glamorous need apply.
Dear Mr. Gaultier
When I interviewed Ceri Marsh earlier this week, she claimed that she would choose a trip to Paris to meet Jean Paul Gaultier over a trip to Moose Jaw Fashion Week 2012. I can’t understand how someone could choose between two such delicious options without hesitation. Perhaps Ceri doesn’t realize that Moose Jaw has just been named Canada’s Glamour Capital. Sure, I’m the one who named it that (just five minutes ago, to be exact), but that’s beside the point.
This incident made me realize that Moose Jaw Fashion Week needs a celebrity spokesperson — someone besides me, that is. My fame reaches far and wide, but I’ve got plenty of other things to do already. Of course, the first person to pop into my mind was Jean Paul Gaultier. Mr. Gaultier recently celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of his eponymous label. Splitting design duties between his ready-to-wear collection, a couture collection and Hermès ready-to-wear can’t really be all that time-consuming for someone with Mr. Gaultier’s talent. Considering his experience, he probably designs in his sleep. That dress in the photo is the stuff that dreams are made of, after all.
So I’m going to send out an invitation to him. Imagine having Jean Paul as the honorary chairman of Moose Jaw Fashion Week! I’m sure he’ll accept if he doesn’t already have a full schedule. I figure that Paris Fashion Week is going to be held at exactly the same time, but after thirty-some years of showing there, I can see how Mr. Gaultier would want to take a break. Too much of the same old, same old would get on my nerves, too. I’d be doing him a favor!
Stay tuned for more updates, if you can stand the glamour!
