THE BRUNETTES @ the East Room Launch

Last night THE BRUNETTES travelled over to Toronto’s east end to celebrate the launch of East Room, a membership office space that gives professionals and creatives a hip, collaborative environment to work and offers its members more than just a desk, but also a place to network, host meetings, and grow their businesses.

Guests at the party included celebrities, media, and many young professionals from the complete gamut of creative fields.  Oysters and lobster rolls, plus a selection of bar-rail drinks were served throughout the night, giving attendees all the sustenance they needed to explore the many offices, meeting rooms and common areas of East Room’s stylish studio space.

Artistic Adult Collectibles: The Design Exchange’s ‘This Is Not A Toy’ Exhibit Will Appeal to Your Inner Child

Opening to the general public today through to the 19^th of May, the ‘This Is Not A Toy’ exhibit is the latest art showcase from Toronto’s design museum, the Design Exchange. Curated by Sara Nickelson, John Wee Tom, and celebrity-guest curator Pharrell Williams, the exhibit displays adult collectibles and designer toys as artistic sculptures that comment on everything from pop culture to social issues.

Attending an advance, media preview and breakfast at the exhibit early yesterday morning, THE BRUNETTES enjoyed an exclusive sneak peek of the toy gallery’s private collections and funhouse-like surroundings. Familiar characters, celebrities, and original creations all presented in toy form inspired many at the launch to Instagram a pic of the toy that most appealed to their inner child, creating an air of playfulness that could be felt throughout the room.

Haute Hotel Launches: THE BRUNETTES Attend the Official Grand Opening Party of the Beverley Hotel

Fashion is about more than just clothing and personal style; it’s also about where you play … and where you stay. The trendsetters at the Beverley Hotel are fully aware of the fact that stylish people like to come together in equally stylish surroundings. So when the hotel had its official opening soirée earlier this month to showcase its lofty, new space, THE BRUNETTES couldn’t pass up the invite to be among the first to mingle in the Beverley’s chic lounge.

The event drew in a crowd of local celebrities, artists, fashion personalities, and other Toronto tastemakers who embody the culture and attitude of the Queen West lifestyle. Signature cocktails and wine were served to guests alongside gastro goodies (think watermelon-fried quail or bite-sized steak served on a homemade potato chip), while a DJ set the tone with a smooth playlist.

Later THE BRUNETTES took the European-style lift up to the Beverley’s rooftop bar—where partygoers could watch a chef prepare tasty satay skewers or have one of the bar’s mixologists concoct a drink of luxury liquors—chatted with former MTV personality Johnny Hockin, and snapped a pic with Project Runway Canada 2 designer Jason Meyers. With such a great first impression, THE BRUNETTES look forward to the opening of the Beverley Hotel's speakeasy to get us through the winter months.
