LOVE LIST :: Where we bring you the good, the great and the bloody friggen’ awesome stuff guaranteed to make your life even better:
War Paint :: We haven’t laughed so hard since Margaret Cho entered our lives. Last Comic Standing winner Iliza Schlesinger‘s one-hour stand-up special for Netflix bitingly mocks the relationships between girls, sweetly turns Sarah McLachlan’s animal charity ad on its tail – and then there’s that whole twisted pharmacist part. Appallingly funny, sexy, clever and memorable comedy – all at the same time – from a new great. You’ll share this one with friends. Netflix.
Colour Your Feet :: From the streets of Paris to the runways of New York, coloured shoelaces took footwear by storm this year. If you thought it was an accessory trend about to end, we assure you there isn’t one in sight: shoes are now coming with coloured laces. That said, we still love how Stolen Riches‘ individual dress laces let us add the colour until our feet’s content. Order online thru Gotstyle. $17.50
Cucumber Vodka :: Finally, someone got it right. We have tasted every manner of infused vodka out there and much of what we taste is sugar and in one case even medicine-y. Enter Iceberg Vodka to save the day: their cucumber infused vodka is sublime, sophisticated and not sickly sweet. We knew it was possible! Currently only available in Newfoundland – coming soon to other provinces.
Radius Toothbrushes :: The common toothbrush hasn’t changed much since stick + neem tree. The Radius is a smile game-changer. A natural toothbrush, it improves gum health with soft and wide massage and cleans better than you’ve ever experienced. Oh, and it lasts up to nine months and has a version for left-handed people. At health stores everywhere – approximately $8.
Secret Project Revolution :: Madonna the edgy, message-driven artist returned from her L-U-V phase at the end of September with the highly anticipated unveiling of her Secret Project, inspired by the social injustices she saw during her MDNA world tour of duty. A collaboration with Steven Klein, here is M at her artistic, beautiful best with a powerful but simple message, stunningly presented. The best seventeen minutes you’ll spend today:
