Agent Burlesque's Adieu

It is with mixed emotions that I write this last post for you, slice.ca reader. Agent Burlesque is about to begin a tour of the country as the opening act for the Aristocrats.

Clip in Colour

I am forgoing the natural Agent Burlesque feather in favour of a natural hair clip in extension. Wait! It’s not as laughable as you might think.

24 Karate Cuffs and A Bra to Match

No store window says “come hither” more than one that is draped in black velvet, featuring a lingerie-clad mannequin, and elegant script written on the front window announcing this store offers high end erotic toys. Welcome to Kiki de Montparnasse , in the heart of Soho, Manhattan.

Crushing On Your Co-Worker

Admit it; there is definitely someone at work you look at in “that way,” even just a little bit.

Let's Make Out

I am currently crushing on great make out sessions.

Where are my TV hotties?

Where are the TV hotties? I grew up with Magnum P.I. and MacGyver, and they were smoking hot. How about the Dukes of Hazzard? I would put on a pair of Daisy Dukes for them in a heartbeat.

The 4 Dreams of Miss X

For those of you who love lingerie, or who love Kate Moss, The 4 Dreams of Miss X takes the reader, or more aptly, the viewer, on a multimedia journey with Kate showcasing Agent Provocateur’s 2007 collection.

Kardashian Kaboose

Now that my full-length winter coat has been safely stowed away, I’m more aware of what the boys are staring at. To that end (forgive the pun), I would like to invest in pieces that make my tail look great. I'm not talking Kim Kardashian kaboose - just something reminiscent.

She's the lake and stars

Spring is finally upon us. It’s time to purge your holey sock collection, rediscover your spring clothes, and invest in some very cute lingerie.

A $1500 Allowance

When I heard Britney was given a $1500 a week allowance, I laughed. Out loud.

High School Reunion

My high school reunion is this spring and I will be attending, though I’m not entirely sure what my motives are. I’m sure some of it has to do with how this wallflower finally (and I mean finally) bloomed.

* Or Not

I met my boyfriend at a pub for a bite to eat before the Lacrosse game. I walked in, gave him a peck on the cheek. He stopped playing on the pinball machine long enough to toss my Valentine’s Day present on to the pub table.

Pick your Knicks

If you’re answering said door in an XL company shirt, a tattered pair of jogging pants and ratty slippers, I’ve got the site for you.

Outlasting Me

I tried two new Cover Girl Outlast lipsticks, both which packed at least sixteen hours of punch. Did it dry my lips out? Nope. Did it really stay on all day? Yup.

I'm Over You

There comes a moment, completely unexpectedly, when a lady can say to her ex boyfriend/husband/whatever, “I’m over you”.

Go Go Dancing To Fame

What do J-Lo, Paula Abdul, Goldie Hawn and Tupac Shakur all have in common? They all had a pointed toe firmly planted in the dance arena before they hit it really big. Goldie Hawn was a go-go dancer in New York and J-Lo was a back up dancer on In Living Color. As was yours truly, and look where we are now.

May December

Are the days of a May December relationship inciting gossip behind us? Will we continue to raise an eyebrow? As with any relationship, it will either work like a charm or go down in flames.

The Whole Enchilada

To quote my bestie, “Why settle for half a burrito when you can have the whole enchilada?”

Sexytime 2008

Pulse.. rising. Heartbeat.. in your ears. Mouth open slightly.. breath escaping quickly. Sweat.. dotting your brow. Frantic.. movements. Focused…on the end result.

What’s in a Box?

Today is Boxing Day. Let us discuss, better yet, let me expand your repertoire of useless knowledge regarding one of Canada’s national holidays.

Burlesque Baby

In the spirit of burlesque, I want to share with you a Burlesque Baby Bounty of info.

Dream Big

It’s official, I’m now madly in love with muscle cars.

Dear Santa: Please Send Gifts

I was a greedy kid. While my kindergarten colleagues were busy writing to Santa for world peace and glow-in-the-dark crayons, I was busy writing out the entire year’s collection of Barbie dolls and kid-proofed fashion accessories I hoped to get for Christmas.

Tween-Teen-Twenty Gift Pack

Gift for the teen, tween and twenty year old.

I Don't Need To Love You

A quick poll of the ladies, of every age, leads me to say we’re not all looking for love.

The Winter Blues

I wish this little article was about denim and azure coloured Indian cotton, alas, it’s about being bummed out.

Thank YOU, yes YOU!

I want to thank YOU. Yes, YOU for checking out slice.ca.

Your nose needs...

As cold season quickly approaches and allergies are no distant memory - I want to introduce you to my newest love.

I’m in my (cough) 30’s

I’m not going to get on the bandwagon that gives props to twentysomethings at the expense of thirtysomethings. They both have something to offer – I just wish thirtysomethings were better at promoting themselves! While the media does not take this cause up often enough…here is MY big chance!

IntimateEncounters69

I was doing some online dating research (cough) the other day, and decided to research the Intimate/Get Some/Adult Only section of a few sites. The hilarity that ensued prompted me to share nicknames with you, as well as some clever pick up lines.

Racoon Face

If you have sensitive skin and need an easy fix on getting rid of dry skin or even a post-burn-peel, you should consider picking this up, Noxzema Daily Exfoliating Cleaner (in a blue bottle), it really worked, without leaving my skin dry or tender.

Talking to the One?

You know that first moment you start talking to a guy – those few hours when he could be anyone or The One? The moment you’re sure he’s going to like the same food you do, that he wants to take you to some quaint neighbourhood resto that will end up being your favourite?

Meet me in the astral

A friend of mine asked me if I would be interested in nine (free) weeks of learning to leave my body and check out the astral plane. I jumped at the chance – what better way to spend a Tuesday evening than to explore floating in the ether in hopes of running into JFK?

Pffft Fitness

Have you heard enough about the benefits of fitness? Tired of hearing why you should be fit? Me too.

What to ditch when getting hitched

As a part time wedding photographer, I’m always surprised when I’m asked by the bride or groom “When should we cut the cake? When do we throw the bouquet? Does my mother in law have to wear a corsage?” I try to sound official and give my advice, but I’m usually thinking “It’s your party kids – do as you like.”

Work party + Booze = Good Times

I love a company social as much as the next girl. I like playing dress up and giggling with my friends while the company pays for me to get kind of tipsy. Nothing, however, beats the drama that goes down late in the evening when some people drink to stupidity.

Save Ye Money

While I’d prefer being blissfully unaware of my finances, I’m the complete opposite. I check my account balance almost daily and I squirrel money away in so many nooks and crannies, I fear I’ve lost more than I have saved.

Tall Girl Jeans

The school jock once asked me if a flood was coming when he saw me walking down the halls. It was at that moment I realized I was destined to wander jean stores in search of an inseam that was at least 36 inches. And wander I did. It was a lonely journey, but there is a light at the end of the change rooms. I’m here to lead you quickly to the light, so you can stop wearing your jeans super low so they actually cover your ankles.

Almost new clothes

I can’t think of anything better than new free clothes. Let me introduce you to a Clothing Swap.

A Foray into Cougardom

While I’m cautious about revealing my age – when exactly would I be considered a Cougar? I think it was the moment I lured an unsuspecting lamb into my little kitty den.

Bon Voyage!

With summer quickly approaching, travelling is probably on your calendar. Here are a few tried and true packing tips that Lipstick Lolita and I find priceless:

My Exotic Birthday

To celebrate my birthday I decided to have a party – one with a capital P; everyone had their own initialled cupcake and my favourite drink in their hand; they all learned how to play Texas Hold ‘Em Poker with the Poker dealer I hired and we all got to watch a nudie show. That’s right; I hired an exotic dancer for my birthday.

I Love Leather

Lipstick Lolita and I share something in common (alas, not her husband); we both drive Vespas. She reminds me of one of those beautiful, classy, feminine and impeccably dressed Italian women from those old movies. Sadly, flirty dresses, twinkly jewellery and casually pulled back hair and Vespas don’t mix. Sorry toots.

The New First Base

If I let a boy make out with me, I consider that being admitted to Grade School. Every kid blows the first day or two, but it’s not complicated, so he should pick up the curriculum quickly. If he doesn’t, he fails – back to the sandbox with the other children. With a great attitude, a quick learning curve and good grades, he graduates to High School.

Your lips - Rouge, wow!

If you’re looking for lip-gloss with a bit more oomph Rouge Wow Fusion Creme Gloss should do the trick.

Something old, something new...

I’m a non traditional gift giver, and with Wedding Season just around the corner, I think I’ve found the perfect present!
