  • Pre-Opening Sneak Peek at Tatyana’s new Boutique in Toronto!!!

    As a member of the Toronto Vintage Society I obviously love vintage, but as a plus size woman it can be hard to find the real deal. Enter reproductions and rockabilly style. Most of my wardrobe is made up of this stuff, but it’s still difficult to find even in Toronto. Much needs to be…

  • How I Stopped A Fist Fight Between Strangers

    So I had a pretty interesting night last night. I went back home to see my shrink who told me I should consider getting rid of the roommate and also said he supports my decision for something (details coming soon!) which is nice to hear. On the way home I was on the subway, we…
