Last Night a DJ Saved My Life

Over the next while, one Cowgirl will take on Toronto in search of the quintessential party scene.

Lucky for her, in this multicultural city, there’s more than one! Along the way she will talk with many DJs, party planners and socialites, take one too many pictures and drag all her friends into the wee hours of the night. So, with a full tube of electric-red lipstick in hand and a final destination unknown, she programs her GPS to start off in Parkdale. This will be hard work, folks but after a few vodka tonics, things should get mushier.

First stop is the new, I-don’t-give-a-beep, DJ-owned hotspot, Wrongbar (1279 Queen St. W). With its acute taste in programming and no holds barred party atmosphere, Wrongbar is quickly becoming home to the better-looking, Queen West hipsters. Chatting with Meech, a household name at Wrongbar, who will be spinning this Saturday alongside owner, Nasty Nav and guest DJ, Hijack, from the UK. The plan is to kick off the night with the triumvirate – burger, fries and beer – at The Rhino (1249 Queen St. W) and then mosey on over.

You can’t help but be mesmerized by the Beckerman girls. Their wild and playful sense of style will warm your heart almost as much as their darling personalities do. The Cowgirls jumped at the opportunity to chat with Samantha, Caillianne and Chloe about their hit blog: Beckerman Bite Plate, as well as learn more about their signature style. But one thing’s for sure, you won’t ever see these girls rockin’ a pair of sporty yoga pants. At least not in public.

How to Mush a Pony

We thought we’d finally give our site name some meaning…

As our Head Cowgirl so kindly demonstrates above, we can see there are multiple ways to pet a horse. A word to the wise: do not practice this on police horses, one Cowgirl nearly got arrested in doing so. Think Riverdale Farm, or Sunnybrook Stables instead.
