MiMi+You

The 60th Annual Emmy Awards are getting a taste of Canada’s fashion talent! This year’s VIP Swag Bags will feature necklaces by Canadian jewelry makers Mitra and Mina Mortazavi. Mimi+You’s Hollywood inspiration for these pieces came from fashionista Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City, and the classic children's story Charlotte’s Web.
The famous inspirations that got them to the Emmys:

· Charlotte’s Crochet: Inspired by the intricate detail of crochet work done by the sisters’ mother, each piece is hand crafted and made of 100% Prima cotton imported from Peru. The piece was third in a trilogy of necklaces inspired by Charlotte’s Web.

· Carrie Pearls: Inspired by the way Carrie Bradshaw wore pearls to adorn any outfit in the Sex and the City movie, the piece strands together glass pearls which can be worn either full length (1920’s flapper style) or as a chocker. These pearls can be dressed up or down with an Audrey Hepburn inspired “little black dress” or a simple pair of jeans and a T-shirt.


Sold at high-end retailers in both Toronto and California, Mimi+You are quickly building a reputation among the fashionable elite. Canadian A-listers Nelly Furtado, July Black, and Chantal Kreviazuk all love and wear the one-of-a-kind creations. With multiple colour combinations, each piece is hand-crafted and made from materials such as porcelain, leather, shell, and metal.


Mimi+You collections include: 1920s, Russian Royalty, Nu Vintage, Made-To-Wear, and Signature Collection. For more information on the brand, connect to: www.mimiandu.com.

Madeline

Madeline

Formed in 2005, TICKLE ME PINK includes Sean Kennedy (lead vocals, bass), Stefen Runstrom (drums), Steven Beck (guitar, vocals) and Joey Barba (guitar). Tickle Me Pink has built a loyal following by playing hundreds of live shows and independently releasing two EPs, If Only We Were Twenty One And Up (2005) and Half Seas Over (2006), and their debut full-length, Madeline. Selling out the 650-capacity Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, TICKLE ME PINK has become one of the biggest bands in Colorado.

The urgency and depth of TICKLE ME PINK is best captured with the title track of their new album. ‘Madeline’ is a cautionary tale of substance abuse, documenting the death of the album’s namesake heroine. Kennedy states, “Madeline represents my friends who have gone off the deep end. It illustrates how sorry I feel that that my impact on some of my friends has not been more positive. Every activity shared in the song may have been fun at the time, but ultimately brought Madeline to her death. Living with the thought that you might have been the final straw is a tough mental battle.”

TICKLE ME PINK recorded Madeline at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins with Producer Lee Miles (The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Puddle Of Mudd). From the addictive melodies and explosive vocals on ‘Typical,’ to the roaring rocker ‘I Can’t Breathe,’ and the heartbreaking exploration of suicide on ‘Tomorrow’s Ending,’ there is a lot of depth to this debut. With an onslaught of modern artists pigeonholed into singular sounds, ‘Madeline’ is an eclectic offering that changes colors like a chameleon, yet never loses its heart or identity.
