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!)

What the hell is poutine?

I had no idea that Club Monaco had personal shoppers. That's really cool!

"Wax-ologist"? LOL! -lily

Waxing is a bitch. I can't believe you do it! How long have you been doing it >>>> and do you do it regularly every four months??

French coquette suits you!

LILY: Poutine is french fries soaked in gravy and then with a whole lot of cheese kurds. It sounds disgusting but is terribly delicious. It's pure fat to your ass!

What is a convection oven?

"Cracktastic". Love it.

I CANNOT not comment on Maclaren's on Elgin.

Even though the service is terrible, for simple logistics, I would routinely meet 5 to 12 people there for beverages.

Not anymore. Because improbably we had even worse service than all the bad service in the history of Maclaren's. And that's a lot of @#^%@!* bad service.

Don't get me started.

Those fries in the poutine aren't fried? I don't believe it. Their fries are so crispy?

You should try it qith a little bit of chili powder.

I'm a dude, so I can't comment on either of the other two.
