About May Globus

Vancouver City Editor May Globus is obsessed with the sartorial and all that surrounds it: art, design, culture, music and film. Oh, and she really likes writing about it, too. A left coast girl at heart, her Sweetspot finds just might show why the westside really is the best side.

March Madness

Vancouver Fashion Week Vancouver (Mar.24.09)    


Traditionally, March Madness is defined as that big, yearly, three-week competition between 64 U.S. college basketball teams vying for a coveted national championship.

For me, March Madness means something entirely different --  and it's about the descend upon my life beginning tomorrow and ending on Sunday, lasting not three glorious weeks, but a mere six days (the Sweetspot girls in Toronto just made it through their own version of MM).

Why will I be going mad, exactly?

Because Vancouver Fashion Week, the 2009 Juno Awards, and the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival are happening ALL AT THE SAME TIME. 

So here are my goals for this six-day span of craziness:


1. To see some talented, emerging designers during Vancouver Fashion Week, particularly in the green category. Eco-chic is obviously here to stay (and this is the west coast, so we're all greenies here!). Plus, my Nood bamboo tee is the most comfortable thing to have ever touched my body, so here's hoping there's more where that came from. 

2. To have a celebrity sighting of Sam Roberts as he breezes into town for the Junos. Triple points if I accidentally run into him, he falls in love with me and we spend the rest of our lives warbling "Brother Down" together.

3. To test out at least 1/60th of the 1,600-plus wines available at the International Festival Tasting events happening Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Canada Place during the wine fest. Three days and 1,600 types of vino?! Eh, it'll be a cinch. And I'll surely be pounding the Vitamin Water on Sunday morning. Bring on the Pinot Grigio, s'il vous plait.

4. To actually catch a taxi in Gastown this weekend, which is apparently where some of the Juno after-parties and most of VFW are going down. This neighbourhood is what my good girlfriend Sherry likes to call "the cab abyss", meaning you can always catch a taxi going in, but can hardly ever get one going out, no matter how much bare leg and Louboutins you stick out.

5. To not start next Monday sick as a dog as a result of the above (in conjunction with too many sips of free champers). But, as a precaution, I've already bought a huge box of Emergen-C in Super Orange.


Game on.
