The phone that was to revolutionize mobile communications has a plethora of amazing functions but one huge caveat took the product down a notch – no 3G compatibility. This means that downloading web pages and music would take longer and decrease the streamlining of data. Sort of stupid, considering that the iPhone was designed to take advantage of the Internet and make it accessible on a large-screened mobile phone. ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic:-A-Night-at-L'Oréal-Fashion-Weak-(sic)-10128.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic:-A-Night-at-L'Oréal-Fashion-Weak-(sic)-10128.html [CDATA[ItÂ’s time to reach way back into the depths of your closet and bust out all the items you secretly covet but would feign to wear in public. Toronto has a contingency of conservative dressers with snobby attitudes who like to look down on anyone who takes a fashion risk. Thankfully, the producers of L'Oreal Fashion Week – that would be the Fashion Design Council of Canada - are putting up a fight against peer pressure fashion monotony with the ensuing Toronto Fashion Week tradition. Six days of good clothes, fashion faux pas and parties will go off with many a hitch and drama galore. Look out for the best dressed, the worst dressed, fashion shows in the good, the bad and the ugly categories and a condensed list of designers to offer you some background for your critiquing pleasure. Stick around. This could get interesting. ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic-_d_-Tommy-Lee-and-Me-(part-3-of-3)-10119.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic-_d_-Tommy-Lee-and-Me-(part-3-of-3)-10119.html [CDATA[If you're keen to make celebrity sightings of your own at an event like this then there's only one place to be. Set up camp by the kitchen doors and you'll catch all the bigwigs as they're escorted through and on to the VIP rooms. At least, that's where I met Kevin Costner. ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic-_d_-Tommy-Lee-and-Me-(part-2-of-3)-10116.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic-_d_-Tommy-Lee-and-Me-(part-2-of-3)-10116.html [CDATA[Try to make eye contact," says Bonnie; but it's not bloody likely. I'd have to be on fire to stick out in this crowd of lookers and lookieloos. So I did what any sane person would do. I started waving my arms like a maniac. ]] http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic-_d_-Tommy-Lee-and-Me-(part-1-of-3)-10113.html http://www.martiniboys.com/martiniboys/articles/Geek-to-Chic-_d_-Tommy-Lee-and-Me-(part-1-of-3)-10113.html [CDATA[Every great journey begins with but a single step forward. Ships of yore required a good gust of wind to get underway. A dragster expends most of its energy at the starting line. Rocket ships don't fly into space; they actually explode. My personal transition from an uncouth geek into the pinnacle of what is chic and stylish should be no different. I'm a firm believer in the power of impetus so when I set out on the road to cool I intend to hit the ground running. Why dawdle in the shallows when I can dive into the deep end? ]]
