It's ok, there's still plenty of Alfred to go around!

I kind of get this. Best sex ever was with someone with a small, thin penis. Dude never once mentioned it (we were casual sex partners on the regular for a year) and was never insecure about it. He was fantastic in bed and a great guy and i rarely thought twice about the penis size because of it and i know if he was…

Btw, (assuming you are scottish) i saw an outdoor curling rink there with a little hut to warm up in. Never even seen one in Canada, thought it was really great. And because the scots are good at the sport (inventing it and all), I had no complaints about the Scottish BBC curling commentary.

I was living in Scotland when the Vancouver Olympics were on. As a good Canadian I got up in the middle of the night to watch the hockey games which is bizarre listening to the commentary on the BBC. The thing that stuck out is they kept calling the goalies 'net minders'.

No worries, Simon Doonan is always a fun read anyway!

Simon Doonan writes about this while he has the privilege of going through her old clothes. Apparently she was ultra tiny, not like many people think.

I used to live in Scotland, I have never seen so many drunk people in my life, especially women. In freezing, pouring rain, girls barefoot and bare legged, crying on the sidewalks, eating curry takeaway at 4am. I saw a girl piss in stilettos and club dress in the middle of a major street with her friend trying to…

I love the idea of using older models but lets be honest - you can only do this if you have the famous name to back it up. Just like Stella McCartney can get away with not using real leather or fur - she can bank on her prestige. A smaller lesser known designer would have a lot of difficulty doing any of this because…

I love that Prada coat, Miuccia does great things with illustrators. The last Prada womens wear collection the coat is from is super cool, wish I could afford anything from it. I want one of these bags so hard.

Canada is similar, due to being so close to the US and doing a lot of business within the larger north american markets there. I work in product design - everything we create and send to the factories in China is in the imperial method (they always write back to us in metric, however).

As an aside, speaking as someone who doesn't have a partner, I gotta say i'm tired of women being so judgey about all aspects of people's weddings, after being to many weddings over the years when all my friends married. Her dress sucks, her decor sucks, she is making the bridesmaids wear what?!, she spent too much,…

Agreed. I'm against onesies in general - i used to have onesie pj's and when i'd sit down it felt like i was being split in half, they ride up too much.

My huge pet peeve is when people do this at galleries. Some galleries permit taking pics with no flash and it's so awful. I went to a gallery in another city on a weekend, so it was busy, which was understandable but I couldn't actually stand there looking at some of the pieces because other people were too busy…

Maybe everyone is just lonely? I'm in my mid 30s and the only single person with no partner, no house and no children. I'm left out of playdates and couples dinners. I don't want children but I really like them and being around them but my friends seem to think i'll be bored or that i secretly hate kids and am too…

Pierre Burton was a classic Canadian author (and as you can see, in his old age, cute as a button) and years ago before he passed on he taught us Canadians how to roll a proper joint on tv, so we don't have to worry about toke burns on our bow ties.

Ugh, i know. There is an american woman in my office who wouldn't shut up about the BLACK FRIDAY DEALS!! and how she's moving her work schedule around tomorrow so she can go to door crashers and didn't seem to understand why everyone just sort of shrugged and went back to work.

I lived in the UK for awhile (i'm Canadian) and it seems hen parties are such a huge thing there in comparison to here. I lived in the city centre near some bars and it was a constant stream of wasted women dressed up in tiaras and shit like that. What surprised me too is it often seemed like EVERYONE went out to…

I remember all the bad things I learned about the consequences of sex but the good was never discussed either, I guess because the teachers would have run the risk of being called out for accidentally 'encouraging' us or something.

Hermes came to our local design museum and their artisans gave fascinating demonstrations on how they make their bags, gloves, silkscreened scarves, equestrian goods, etc. This boxers thing is pretty ridiculous, but it is amazing how well they make their goods - everything is perfect and done by hand and you will…
