There's Something About Mary Katrantzou (at The Room)

Last week, Mary Katrantzou graced Vancouver for a preview of her Fall 2012 collection, at The Hudson's Bay Company's The Room. Naturally, when the invitation came through my e-mail that I could meet one of my favourite designers, I screamed, peed a little, and then had to decide what to wear that would accommodate an adult diaper.

And I came up with this. Are you disappointed? A bit, I'm sure. But what do you do if you're to meet the most printastic person in the history of the last few years? You wear neutrals. Because no print you wear, unless it's Mary Katrantzou (which many a richer person wore), is worthy of Mary Katrantzou. (Oh and yes, room for said adult diaper.)

But let's get to the good stuff, shall we? Do you want some gossip about Mary Katrantzou? DO you?! Well, Mary Katrantzou is such a... gem! No, I'm not just a crazy fan girl although the photo below might indicate otherwise, but she is very, very nice. She was very polite, very friendly, and very accommodating to everyone that came to see her. She was swarmed by people at every moment -- everyone was trying to get a word in with her, and she took the time to meet everyone, make individual introductions, shake hands, snap pictures, and have a laugh.

Well kids, it's a long weekend up here in Canada, eh! I'm hoping to relax a bit after a long week, but still have so many unchecked boxes on my pre-move to-do list. Like... oh, you know, figure out where I'm going to live and try and track down some tuition money. (On that note, does anyone want to give me some? I mean a scholarship! Not charity. "Scholarship.") 

I digress. Enjoy the long weekend, my fellow Canucks! Comment or tweet me if you're doing something awesome. And my American friends -- you'll get yours next weekend. Comment or tweet me a schedule of American long weekends that differ from Canada's so I can learn them. That's right, you get homework. Ok? Bye!
