If you have lived in Vancouver for any substantial amount of time you know that this fine city of ours has but two seasons: Summer and Rainy. It’s also saddled with the altogether terrible moniker of being “The most beautiful place on earth”. Don’t believe me?

So this one isn’t for all you true Vancouverites who stoically accept the formidable deluge of rain that welcomes us at this time of year, but rather, for those who are new to our city, and wondering what happened to the sun; here you’ll find some tips to surviving the rainy season.

I love this rainy Vancouver. Tonight the air was rich with that perfect Fall smell; burnt wood and firecrackers.

October, October… I can’t wait to turn into a werewolf! Though I may have to count on dolling myself up as Barbarella, I know I’d kick ass more effectively if I were to morph into my wolf counterpart. One can only hope there is a hint of truth in those terribly stimulating “Animorphs” novels I was forced encouraged to read as a child of the nineties…

oh, and I Love Lace. I would simply kill to wear that bodysuit under my most ripped and slouchy jeans.
