Matthew 51 30' 0 N : 0 -8' 60 E

Ah, Sir Matthew Williamson.

He of the bright prints (and this season, stripes), the hippie chic and the bohemian princess fans. His best pals include Kate Moss, Helena Christensen, Jade Jagger and Sienna Miller. Over the years, Williamson translated his flirty, pretty dresses into a brand, dipping his fingers into men's wear, children's wear, perfume, garden furniture, a collection with luggage conglomerate Samsonite and, most recently, a role as creative director at equally prints-laden Pucci.

His Spring 2008 collection had a the requisite Williamson touches, but also included forays into pieces not patterned: silk shirts, rolled up wide khaki trousers over heels, dip-dyed hems, solid brights and, well, a runway musical performance by the formidable Artist Formerly Known as Prince -- now again known as Prince -- as models stomped the catwalk.

I hate to say this, but Mr. Matthew reminds me a little bit of J-Lo's hubby Marc Anthony. Eh, you win some, you lose some.

And if anyone can decipher the meaning of my title, you're my hero.

I'm Lovin' it: It's TV-and-Alpha Sushi Monday. This means me, my remote control, Sangria (my friend, not the drink) for company, soccer hoodie from back in the day, sushi from Alpha down the street and Prison Break. Ah, this is what fall is all about. That, and a fantastical new wardrobe full of cozy sweaters.


I'm Over it: TMI, ie. too much information. Not cool at all sometimes.


Track of the the Day: Needy Girl by Chromeo. P-Thugg (nee Patrick Gemayel) and Dave 1 (nee David Macklotvitch) do what they do best on this track from their three year old debut album of the same name -- lay down the sweet electrofunk in yo' ear. It kind of reminds me -- slightly -- of the Miami Vice theme song. Good news, local Chromeo fans: They're coming to Vancity on October 4th at Sonar. Get your tix at Zulu Records ASAP.
