Now Starring

New column, new tiny head

The big news in this morning’s papers as far as I am concerned is the debut of my new column, Style Czar in the Weekend Living section of the Toronto Star. I hope I can persuade some readers to take a moment away from snoozing over the Globe to flip through the mountainous Saturday Star.

I know it looks formidable, but it’s a fun, lively read and there are some great voices in the paper that should not be missed. And somewhere, buried under the  Wheels sections (is that meaningful, I can’t help but wonder?) is my column in the Living section.

And quite frankly, I am thrilled to be there–not only does the Star have the most readers,  it’s also just won Paper of the Year for journalistic excellence from the Canadian Journalism Foundation. I don’t even mind my new headshot (the shooter, an old pro told me to lean forward on one leg because it makes one’s eyes appear bigger–after, I noticed every other tiny head in the paper is posed exactly the same way).

And the ed-in-chief, Michael Cooke, is very funny, very clever and a real peach.
