Dan Levy Gets a GLAAD Award for Promoting LGBTQ Acceptance via Schitt’s Creek

Image
There’s a lot we know about Alexis Rose’s pre-Schitt’s Creek life: she’s dated all three Hanson brothers, been on a blind date with Leo, and had a tryst with Prince Harry. While snippets of her colourful love life are sprinkled throughout the series, there’s no shortage of clues to David Rose’s romantic past either. Openly pansexual, we know he had a crush on Jared Leto, suffered through an arduous breakup with Anderson Cooper, and “burned a bridge” with Nate Berkus in Ibiza. (And of course there was that ill-advised almost-throuple with Stevie and Jake.) All this to say, it’s not often we see a queer character in pop culture offered the same freedom and nonchalance when it comes to discussing romantic or sexual paramours as straight characters are. But that was Dan Levy’s intention from the start: to create a place where everyone could love out loud. “When I found myself in a position to tell stories on a global scale, I seized the opportunity to make a television show that might, ...

Forever 21 is Closing All of its Canadian Stores After Filing for Bankruptcy

After months of speculation, Forever 21 has officially filed for bankruptcy. The brand confirmed the news overnight, saying that it will entirely cease operations in 40 countries, including Canada, and will shutter 350 stores in total worldwide, 178 of which are in the US, reports  The New York Times . It will however continue to operate online as usual. As for what has prompted the move, Linda Chang, the executive vice president of Forever 21, told the site, “The retail industry is obviously changing – there has been a softening of mall traffic and sales are shifting more to online.” Couple that with changing consumer attitudes towards fast fashion and it’s a bleak outlook for brands like Forever 21. According to the  Times , the company’s revenue dropped to USD$3.3 billion last year down from USD$4.4 billion in 2016. In recent months, the brand has been plagued with other financial issues, too – most notably, being sued by Ariana Grande for using her likeness in an adv...

Inside the Tata Harper Treatment Room at Montreal’s Etiket Boutique

Image
“Let me know if you experience any irritation,” Emmanuel Vollant says in a soothing whisper, as she spreads a ginger-infused Tata Harper mask onto my face. “Just because these products are natural, doesn’t mean they aren’t extremely potent.” Vollant, a specialized aesthetician with the brand—whose most recent post was much farther south, at a Tata Harper signature spa in Turks and Caicos—is applying one of many steps in the Signature Facial at Etiket’s Tata Harper treatment room. The first and only one of its kind in Canada, the space launched in April and was designed by Harper herself, the result of ongoing collaboration between both parties. Later this month, on October 18 and 19, Tata Harper aesthetician Nik Garcia will be on-hand for a special event to launch the brand’s new Supernaturals Collection, offering a 45-minute facial featuring products from the line. According to Etiket’s president, Simon Tooley, the spa was the natural extension of a longstanding relationship bet...

Dakota Johnson Launches New Podcast to Support Victims of Abuse and Gender-Based Violence 

Dakota Johnson is one of Hollywood’s top names right now – and she wants to use her platform to make a difference.  Over the weekend, the actress appeared at the 2019 Global Citizen Festival to launch her new podcast, called The Left Ear. Johnson created the platform to give victims of sexual abuse and gender-based violence a platform to share their stories and be heard.  The name has special meaning with the actress explaining on Instagram, “Your left ear is the ear closest to your heart. And by listening with your heart, you can save someone even just a little bit.” As for how the podcast came about, Johnson wrote, “One year ago I asked women and girls around the world to call me and leave a voicemail telling their stories of sexual violence, harassment, and gender-based inequalities. I didn’t want to speak on their behalf, I wanted to listen to them.” Importantly, Johnson said that she didn’t want to edit any of the stories to maintain total authenticity. “To protect an...
