THE WIZARD OF OSSINGTON

i reblog blogTO because they suck

fashion’s equivalent of a giant fart

we live in an extremely fashionable city and this is the BEST you could do?! REALLY? REALLY BLOGTO??? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!??? you clearly do NOT have eyes unto which aesthetically pleasing things are revealed. i look forward to your next post, ‘LIVE FROM DUFFERIN MALL!’

most serene republic

blogTO calls them ‘indie darlings’

more like ‘kids from the burbs who bought kevin drew enough drinks @ mitzi’s’

link here if you are suffering from insomnia and nothing is working to help you fall asleep:ZzZzZzZzZz…

sweaty betty’s got reviewed on blogTO and called ‘essential’

and peeps were pissed that it’s getting such a spotlight.

i don’t mind sb’s so much. it IS pretentious and there’s nothing special about it, but it’s a nice place to hang out nonetheless, especially in terms of the oz strip… it fits nicely in the hierarchy of ‘shit on ossington’:

1. levack block (DOUCHE BAG HAVEN)

2. reposado (SMALLER DOUCHE BAG HAVEN)

3. the ossington (nice decor, and THIS is where all the A&C people hang out - emily haines always puts it on metric’s twitter when she’s there and that’s actually quite often… still KINDA DOUCHEBAGGY)

4. sweaty betty’s (A LIL DOUCHEBAGGY)

american apparel bores me

i used to get so excited by all things american apparel.  it was probably because i did not live in a city where there was one on every major intersection.  now i live in said city and despite the fact that i do enjoy the clothing options (particularly the slim, flattering cuts of most of their products), american apparel hasn’t released anything interesting or exciting in what seems like years.  i think they pretty much plateaued with the slim slack.  they debuted their offerings for our lower halves with a signature skinny jean in a bunch of different colours.  then they made it in corduroy.  *record scratch*  um.  okay. now they are releasing shit like this, in july of 2009:

borrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiing

looks like the same old MIA (borrrrrrriiiiiiiing) style faux african hipster bape turd crap shit that 14 year old girls from rosedale will venture up to yonge & eglinton for.  lame.  not impressed, AA.  and i’m not asking for you to impress me, either.  just saying.

and on the 85,789,430,209,574 day, the wizard of ossington was sent forth.

in a world dominated by people with little, bad, or no taste at all i have been sent from the far reaches of the ossington strip in order to bring you the utmost official, truthful, and more often than not, uncanny opinions on the endless spectrum of pop culture, and furthermore, life.  aaaaaaaaaaaaaand - begin!
