Winnipeg's counter-culture institution Ragpickers Anti-Fashion Emporium &
Books is among Western Canada's premiere vintage apparel, costume and
book stores. For the better part of a quarter century shoppers have
browsed among its beautiful historical costumes, thousands of select used
books, and the surprise in its every nook and corner. Entering its
centuried edifice, you are captivated by the endless variety of colour and
texture--and the thrilling promise of discovery. Owner Kristen Andrews is
the happy heart of an urban style oasis offering vintage & designer clothes,
accessories, costume and prop rentals, jewellery and handicrafts, local CDs, and books to a clientele as devoted as they are diverse. Upstairs, the Ragpickers Theatre Annexe (the "Viva Libra" Theatre) is host to bands, plays and community events. At "Rags", ever the domain of artists, performers and activists, the casual shopper may find themselves amongst the brightest lights of the city's independent scene. More by far than another great store, Ragpickers Anti-Fashion Emporium & Books is a true original--a world unto itself. Make it a part of
yours!

hey yah, i have hair-A.D.D. i get bored way too quick. life's good. slacking off at work right now- ahemmyspaceahem. lol yaaahhhh cat's good, so are the dogs. pinkie (the female) has taken it upon herself to raise this lil' SPCA rescue pup. He's 3 weeks old and she's really taken a shining to him. It's pretty amazing seeing as she didn't give birth to it. but she lays by it, cleans it, growls at other dogs and humans to stay away. she's bein' a good momma-dog.
hope things are rocking with you! i'll be in the peg end of may so y'know, we'll have to have some hangouts!!! :D:D
Please let me extend my warmest invitation to JEWELS, the brand-new multimedia dance-drama from Manohar Performing Arts of Canada (Western Canada's premiere Indian classical dance troupe) in association with VoidHouse Productions (Joshua Stanton) and Ambient Empire Inc.
The program, premiering at Pantages Playhouse on Thursday March 27th at 7 p.m. , features a full-length dramatic dance performance in the electrifying classical styles of Kathak and Bharatnatyam, linked with five short films exploring dimensions of theme within our story. Ambient Empire, Joshua Stanton, and Manohar have spared no value in bringing forth what is hoped to be a new height in locally-produced theatre.
Produced under the aegis of the Victoria General Hospital Foundation, the work is presented as a fundraiser for the Minimally Invasive Surgery program. Tickets can be purchased from Ms. Liz Bilton at the VGHP (477-3414) or from Ganga Dakshinamurti (837-3757). The 'Pearl' tickets (rush seating) are an eminently affordable alternative for students & young people at $15 each.
Please come out and enjoy this thrilling multimedia spectacular!
