sooke it up

August 17th, 2006

Instead, this beautiful, airy house has a pair of adjoining two-storey suites with lux ...

The carts’ huge volume plus lack of overhead mean they can price their flowers at wholesale rates, even at the store. Every week there’s a different deal: we recently scored a ...

edge of the wedge

August 11th, 2006

When was the last time you lunched in the company of a cabinet minister, a former Vancouver mayor and the current James Bond? It happened to us on a recent Sunday at noon, par chance, at the fabulous Bacchus bar in the Wedgewood Hotel. The Wedge is renown for comely cocktails, sink-into-it chairs and a venue for sexy fireside chats with a confidante, of course. But when the bar throws ope ...

I wanna soak up the sun

August 7th, 2006

Got my 45 on... Okay, that's enough of that. But ever since Sheryl Crow made wearing sunscreen and being a sexy rock chic mutually inclusive, we've been looking for one that doesn't make us look like a chalky, white cave dweller.
