Earth Day Issue Love
Both the NOW Magazine and EYE Weekly thought we were shout-out worthy, and have mentioned us in their own blurbs about Toronto Alternative Fashion Week.
Awesome.
I encourage you to pick up both issues, not only to see a sneak-peak of our collection and notice how amazing Deadly Nightshades looks like when it's highlighted in black, but to read some really rad and relevant articles about earth week. (Although since the earth is rad enough to support life 365 days a year, we should honor it more than a week.)
Some of my favorites for are Praise a Glass, because it's about alcohol. Reading Between the Labels is a great guide to the little images on the products you should buy.
From the EYE, make sure you read: Meat Matters deals with the often touchy subject of meat and it's environmental impact. Don't want to give up meat? No problem, just make sure you eat less of it. (But they left out some other possible benefits of a veggie lifestyle.) Toxic Undercover tackles the crap that is in your beauty products, but how can you call something that has Formaldehyde in it a beauty product? I think it's shameful that the government allows these companies to sell the public this crap. However, it it the general public's responsibility to inform and protect themselves.
and now....
COME TO OUR AFTERPARTY!!!!

CAKE!
If i were to name one semi predictable thing about the nightshades, OTHER than our collective love of bikes, art, & the environment... it might just be our intense adoration for cake!
This love is probably the only good reason, my roommate and I spent and embarrassingly long time tonight, dying over the archives of an amazing blog... dedicated solely to cake wrecks! Or maybe it's just because today has been an exceptionally long day. Either way, the further back you go, the better the posts (More-disaster-less-ace-of-cakes).
This is the one that sold it for me..... the actual 10th anniversary cake for P Diddy's record label. Otherwise known as my newest re-occurring nightmare:
my birthday IS coming up again.... just sayin.
