I'm making this post seem more essential than it actually is

Don't call it a comeback. I've been blogging since mid '07, so I'm not jumping on a trend. I started Ottawa Street Style, and I'm still sort of committed to it, however, I moved to Toronto recently so it's kind of hard to take pictures of street style when I'm not physically there. Now I'm here, semi-anonymous, dropping hints it's me, but still denying it is. Any way, I guess this is a welcome slash who am I post, right? So, some things you may want to know but aren't really THAT important:

• I'm not one of those bloggers that has a love affair with Paris although they've never visited the country and they make huge grammatical errors in French because they don't speak a word of French. My first language is FRENCH and I've been to Paris, but I'm not obsessed with it, I appreciate the people, culture and history.
• My ethnic background is as mysterious as the colour of my eyes, and my skin is quite fair. By fair I mean I turn pig colour when attempting to tan and get really freckly. But everyone thinks I'm dark because my hair is.
  
• I'm highly educated. Highly means I dropped $25,000 in four years for a B.A. (in mass communications and commerce) and I dropped out of a master's program before the first day.
• I'm fluent in more than two languages and my eyelashes will break your heart.
• I love writing in minuscule letters, except when I blog. It feels incorrect.
• My political affiliations are on the hand I don't write with (read the name smart ass).
  
• Unlike 89% of bloggers, I don't have an addiction to Starbucks. I much prefer Second Cup, or Bridgehead, a fair trade coffee house in my hometown.
  
• Unlike most of the [female] blogger population, I don't have a fascination with Gossip Girl nor end my posts with xoxo. I haven't had television in eight years and I plan on not having it for another eight or so.
• I'm short, thin, intimidating and brutally charming. I also happen to be a [semi] assertive woman with an opinion. Does that come as a shock to you?
• My hair cut is noticeably cool and I live in an apartment I can't [really] afford. I'm not that luxury obsessed and financially deprived however.
• I'm a raw denim enthusiast and I have trouble throwing pants in the washer. So I don't. I'm excessively clean though. Is that an oxymoron?
  
• I'm a bad cook (but I try), I read a lot, I paint walls well and I illustrate.
• I'm obsessed with gypsies.
• I've had way too many jobs and sleep way too little.
• My favourite line is Comme des Garcons, pre the whole H&M fiasco.
• Sarcasm is my forte, which I'm sure is obvious from the previous points.
  

And there you have it... a lot of "I'ms" and the most egocentric post that will ever be posted. If you want to send me emails (I love them, oh yes I do), use the button down there. I'll answer quickly, promise.
