Spring fashion shows are over, and the mainstream design houses are reving up for something they call “pre-Fall” shows. However, the time between the Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter shows is actually my favorite, as spring is the time of Alternative Fashion Week. Occurring on both sides of the Pond, these events give up-and-coming designers a chance to strut their stuff, and everyone else a chance to buy it before these guys go big time.

Toronto: April 9-11, Toronto Alternative Arts and Fashion Week showcases over 200 visual artists, fashion designers, musician, and performers.

London , April 21-25: Alternative Arts’ Alternative Fashion Week. Admission is free, and sixty up-and-coming designers will be showcasing their collections. It also includes a fashion marketplace where clothes, textiles, and accessories will be available.

   Way back I used waxing to remove my unsightly hair but it was so stressfull that I wanted to give it up. I gave waxing a try and it worked somewhat but was kind of slow. So I tried silk n and was really suprised. I actually used the silk n sensepil and was suprisingly happy with the final outcome. It provided me permanent hair removal at an fantastic fee. I definitly recommend it to anyone before shaving.
