Of course, we always encourage everyone to be themselves, so do you!!! Come as you are . . .
Can’t wait for this night, so do come out if you’re looking to howl at the moon this Halloween!!!
In honour of our talented cast and crew of ‘HAIR’ and our three show weekend starting tonight, we are sending out this lovely {MUSIC MINUTE} to the universe featuring Galt MacDermot’s First Natural Hair Band, and one of our personal favourite songs of the show “Walking in Space”.
It is alleged that Galt MacDermot wrote the entire score for ‘HAIR’ in only three weeks, and initially with at least 30 songs per act.
+Bad Ass Galt MacDermot orchestrating the groovy revolution+
‘HAIR’ is labelled a rock musical, but according to MacDermot, he saw his music more alluding to the funk wave that was stirring through music at the time. And while we remember many of the show’s lustrous melodies, it is truly the powerful rhythms of the show that give the show its unique pulse.
If you ask us, it is the music in partnership with the timeless challenges of ‘HAIR’ that truly make it great.
All aboard the train to Mainline with stops in Pottsville and Moonville . . .
Now she is back, with another exclusive poem, and a new book of poetry hand-picked by the divine poet laureate herself, as well some gorgeous black and white portraits that portray the artist in the most gorgeously mysterious manner. . .
Even as she works hard on a commission by the Royal Academy for their annual summer show, she still has time to be one of the world’s most intriguing style stunners, most especially at the release of POEMS which was featured on the VOGUE UK blog!
London at nightÂ
the unbearable night
the night building which washes waterÂ
the night wind which sounds like trapped radiator spirits
the night red light mill
the night full of ship tears
the night window that pains
the mystery that calls you old-fashioned
the night meadow of drafts
the water you would plant under the ground
to save a generation.Â
The night walls that shudder flowers
the night woman who is bareÂ
the equal distances from arms and closed eyes
and gardens that makes a city wide.Â
The great face of street kingdoms
the letting of strangers
with metal coloured necks and the sex of swans.
The night cars that are already knocked at doors
the eyes of god lampsÂ
the night love of dead trees
the five stoned fat of sunlight behind the night
the nights spangle of solace
the park firing of birds
the parks angels
the denial of kneeing
the fear of the colour greyÂ
the night that is your collar bones
the night which is a wife
the nights common breath
the night watching over the year
and requiting the vertical fires of land
with sea-sore heads.
The unforgiving night
the polite notion of restarting and the barking of roses.
“Dude, I like your vintage sweater, but let’s admit it – it would look better on me.”
No need for friendships to get torn over the matter! You can get your own one-of-a-kind outstanding graphic vintage sweater at The Eye of Faith {SHOP}.
Tons more stuff on its way, so make sure you follow us on Twitter and Facebook also to get all the deets.
{theEye} is on the rise, so don’t miss out on all the fun.
Excited things! Excited things, my friends are happening . . .
For the past few months we have been secretly scheming and planning with our friends Gabrielle + Architect to bring her incredibly evocative and seductive musical stylings together with our lust for mystery and taste for fine vintage fashion. With her upcoming EP release, we thought we could make the perfect marriage of the two, and hold a night that could only be described as purely wicked!!!
Taking place at awesome 3030 Dundas Street West, we are excited to host Gabrielle + Architect here in The Junction, Toronto and feature her atmospheric electronic jazz musings for the artful and like-minded crowds that gather in these parts.
The show starts at 9:45, with a beguiling style procession by, yours truly, inspired by The Chicken Game in “Rebel Without a Cause” gone completely awry via psychic witch rituals . . . there will be both mens’ and womens’ looks incorporated into the show – so something for everyone! A great time to see our style in the FLESH!!!
We are pleased to have on board Mysterion The Mindreader, Toronto’s premium purveyor of the weird and strange (as well as being a collector of vintage and antiques, himself), as well as the delicious Esther De Ville in an erotic burlesque performance of “The Devil’s Bride” to cap off the evening.
At the stroke of midnight we will be auctioning some of our looks from the show to raise money for Mt. Sinai Hospital’s “Grateful Hearts Foundation” in thanks of the ongoing care and treatment they are providing my partner in crime, Paul.
It has been a wild roller coaster of a month, and the evening’s antics should reflect this as such. Lots of mystery, cool clothes, talented people, and plenty of drinking (if the weather permits). Should be fun, so tell all your friends!
If you aren’t in Toronto, stay tuned for all the pictures from the night!
Hope to see you there!

 Until next time. . .

This month’s Flea is being held at The Great Hall on Queen & Dovercourt (1087 QUEEN STREET WEST) and runs from 10 AM – 7 PM.

RULE # 2), as the masterminds behind The Junction Flea, but we were even more psyched to see the email in our inbox from them to join the ranks!
We will be bringing some of the items online now in the {SHOP}, but we will also be bringing some other treasures we have had waiting in the wings for a while, so best be there to see just what we have in store! Most excitingly, as not to leave anyone out of the fun, we will be showcasing some of our women’s collection! All fine pieces collected and curated by The Eye of Faith.
Also look forward to shopping our collection of vintage books, magazines, pulp fiction, accessories, decor, art and photography! We got a little bit of everything to share if it makes the world a more beautiful place . . .
As we mentioned, this will be our public debut, so it is most exciting to see how people will react to the {SHOP} in person, as well as getting to meet all the shoppers who religiously flock to The Flea for their fix of unique finds.
There will definitely be some deals going down, and probably a few surprises. So if you’re in the area, or visiting the city, please come by and check it out!
It’s all happening . . .It truly feels like the dawning of a New Age, this year, and it’s only begun! Please make sure to check out all the other cool new vendors at The Junction Flea Blog!
An exciting event has been announced by Turner Classic Movies along with Universal, in celebration of Alfred Hitchcock’s seminal 1963 classic The Birds, and in honor of its upcoming 50th Anniversary will be presenting TCM Event Series Presents The Birds, a special engagement screening of this Horror Classic in select theaters across the US.
On September 19 the event that features TCM host, Robert Osborne, giving an introduction to the film, will also feature an exclusive interview with the film’s blonde bombshell, Tippi Hedren, and how she was picked for her iconic role.
The film, which has been glorified by Barbie, as well as inspire the late Alexander McQueen, is an unexpected and vital piece of our collective style consciousness! So if you have a chance to catch it – definitely do!
