From Linda Lewis, Editor-in-Chief:
The other night, I attended a swishy event — a mix of fashion merchandisers, mavens and media. I did not succumb to the flowing Moët & Chandon since I was driving, so my wits were about me. (Perhaps it would have been better to be less sober when I bumped into a favourite designer — I was wearing one of her skirts, except that it’s from a sample sale from at least three seasons ago and has threads hanging from it.)
Anyway, I plopped down on a banquette and scoured the room for great people-watching potential — which is what you tend to do at events when, like me, small talk is not one of your talents.
Random thoughts intruded as I looked around: Hey, Jim Cuddy is really attractive in person…. Wow, if only I had boobs, I could wear a dress like that…. Uh-oh, here comes what’s her name. What the hell is her name? Then I fixated on a socialite whom you can’t help but notice. She actually does a lot for charity, yet it’s hard to focus on her works rather than her looks — her wide eyes evoking more Bambi in the headlights than Barbie in the spotlight. >>> Read the rest of Linda's letter, get the scoop on the December issue, and watch Sarah Moore's 40-second rant!
