Music Spotlight: Lioness

The name Lioness is an appropriate moniker for one of Toronto's up & coming indie alternative rock bands. With a sultry voice that's powerful and majestic, Vanessa Fischer, lead singer of Lioness, is establishing a reigning title over the music kingdom.

With the help of her bandmates (formerly of controller.controller) Lioness has crafted a dark, addictive disco sound that's mesmerizing to both the ear and the heart. Their hit single "You're My Heart" has been remixed by such prominent DJ's as Mansion, Pilot Priest and Ccenturiess.

You can check out the Mansion remix by clicking here.

Don't you think that Vanessa's voice sounds awfully similar to the lead singer of The Gossip?

If you live in the Toronto area, I'd recommend checking out Lioness tomorrow night when they DJ at Marben for the K-OS after party, or next Wednesday when they play live at MTV.

Tassoni Brasil

I recently attended the Tassoni Brazil fashion show in the Distillery District during alternative fashion week in Toronto (F.A.T.) and was blown away by the sophisticated but edgy styles from the Resort '10 Collection.

Tassoni Brazil is the creative product of fashion forward designers, Joseph Tassoni from Toronto and his Brazilian partner, Andre Chiarelli.



Their look is upscale boho-chic, combined with sexy swimwear influenced by the beaches of Rio.













I absolutely love this Boldly Brazilian Green Bathing Suit!






The black and white stripes on their men's shirts add a nice contrast to the bold colours and whimsical animal like caricatures.









Notice the jewelery and scarves that the models are wearing. Everything is made in Sao Paulo but can be ordered and delivered to North America by emailing sales@tassonibrasil.com
