Vancouver-ish: Lululemony, Robots, Smuggery

*Just thought of wearing clothes made of "soy, bamboo, and hemp" makes me sick. Kimmy over at Kitsilano.ca talks Lululemon, Soy, and just how freaky Chip Wilson really is. On the other hand, can we argue with things called "barely a tube bra". No. No we can't. Shame. [Kitsilano.ca]

*Are you pumped for the first the first audio tour of Chinatown and Granville Island? Yeah, no, not really. [Geogad]

*Remember a few weeks back there was a Robot Skytrain Party. Well the photos are up, and god help us all. William Shatner really is the only one to turn to in this situation: "I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves? You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl? I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't watch television! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements!"

*Joy Metcalfe invents a new pathetic sickness. Zack Spencer fatigue Syndrome. Spencer it seems is exhausted from doing morning weather. Rough. [CKNW]

*The Martini Boys' Bruce James delivers you the goods on crashing parties at the upcoming Vancouver Film Festival [Martini Boys]

*Did you know that at the Fairmont they have dogs on staff for you when you get lonely? Niether did I, and the A-list suck uppery is in full force in this article. Listen to this smuggery: "Want to wash your hair in Evian? Staff will leave a case in the bathroom. Want to store your wedding dress at an airport Fairmont while you're sunning yourself on the beach? Can-do. Need a dog walker? No problem. Fairmonts in Boston and Vancouver have even added in-house dogs to the mix, so if you're missing your Rover, you can borrow one for an afternoon." The Fairmont is pracktically begging you to act like a diva. [Globe and Mail]

*The Spielberg of wine was in Vancouver? You remember, that smug bastard Michel Rolland who hammed it up in Mondovino right. This kind of sums up why drinking Mission Hill is both smug and shamefully trashy all at the same time. [North Shore News]

Actually, having the two dogs around came from chicks wanting to go jogging but afraid to do so in a new city. So someone thought of having a dog accompany them. I think it's a great idea.
