Janna Polzin in a 70's inspired Jersey dress from Cabaret for The Doras
When Janna Polzin, walked through our doors looking for a dress for The Dora Awards this past weekend, we had a wonderful time with her finding the perfect look. After a few different options were explored, Janna found this dress was the one for her and we think she looks spectacular!
Janna is appearing as an alternate in The Sound of Music and was part of the huge search last year for the title role of Maria documented on the series “How do you solve a problem like Maria?”. Check out Janna’s Blog for her post on her experience getting ready for the red carpet. Also if you are in toronto see The Sound of Music now playing at The Princess of Wales Theatre.

Contact 2009: Sara Angelucci
Pictured directly above is camera shy (this is as close as I was able to get to her with a lense) photographer, Sara Angelucci at the opening of her exhibit Regular 8 at the Wynick/Tuck Gallery in the 401 Richmond Centre. Sara’s exhibit is part of the Contact 2009 festival continuing till May 30.
When Sara came to us at Cabaret months ago looking for vintage fashions for her models we were only happy to help her. Regular 8 is done in a style which looks like a blown up image of super 8 film depiciting a variety of scenes of life in some magical time between the 1940s to 60s. From pinned updos and wingtip shoes, each model has each vintage detail in place as the camera captures them at weddings, out with friends at a swanky bar for cocktails, or lovingly sharing a priviate moment with a child.
Its a show that you shouldn’t miss. Check out Regular 8 before you miss it.
Exhibit: Regular 8, Wynick/Tuck Gallery, North Gallery Space. Opening May 9, 2–5 p.m.; May 9 to 30

Vintage Barbra Streisand: Fanny Brice the Funny Girl
There has always been a place in my heart for Ms. Fanny Brice, the Zigfield Girl who made it big. The movie Funny Girl inspired by her life was the first great hit in 1968 starting Barbra Streisand. In addition to being an entertaining film to watch it has 40s inspired 60s fashions. Every scene showcases a drool-inducing new piece of vintage glamor. From hats and gloves, to the over the top Chorus Girl number outfits it is a time capsule and a great example of how clothes can make a movie.
If you are a lover of clothes, vintage or otherwise Funny Girl is a movie that you have to see (or see again).
