Three (local) Honourable Mentions

.1. My personal shopper (I’m lame, what can I say?) Kevin at Club Monaco in the Rideau Centre. He just dressed me in an item that’s not yet shelved – there’s nothing more that a woman can ask for in terms of clothing.

I have an event this evening and one tomorrow; Kevin’s turned me into a French ‘coquette’ and I’m acquiescing.

.2. Jacquie at Sophia Esthetics. Let her be your wax-ologist. She’ll make your legs and arms all shiny and brand new every four weeks. Trust me: Call and make an appointment with her immediately!

.3. The poutine at Maclaren’s on Elgin. If they’d let me, I would place their poutine in a blender and turn it into a hot drink; I’d call it the Hot Mahoutine and brand it: ‘Canada’s yummy tummy protein fun’. (They have a cracktastic Japanese convection oven that ‘cooks’ everything in 2 minutes, even a 20 pound turkey. You know how I know? Because I asked. Specifically, I asked: So? How do you make such spectacular poutine? How often do you fry the potatoes? Do you fry the gravy, too? Why does it taste so good? Can I place this in a blender and turn it into a hot drink? And that’s when they told me NOTHING IS FRIED! Hurrah!)
