The Grey Cup Parade was surprising, being used to the often semi-naked rainbow of talent in the Pride Parade. I didn’t watch the whole thing but I was impressed by the talent of several high school marching bands I saw high-stepping their way through the puddles on the street, seemingly oblivious to the drenching rain. These Irish Scottish dancers in their beautiful tartans were queuing up near Chapters on Robson Street, and close by were Hungarian dancers in wonderful full-skirted traditional dress.

Say Thanks to Her Grandmother

Can you believe this expression? She’s a natural in front of the camera but she prefers to be behind the lens. She is from Toronto and finds most of her clothes in her grandmother’s closet. I like how she has mixed the polka dots with the tartan scarf. The white socks with the lace-up shoes look fantastic as well. I first complimented this woman on her style one night when I was at Urban Fare but I didn’t have my camera; I’m so glad I ran into her again!
