Kite Flying Banned. Ponies Pissed.

Councillor Chin Lee has single-handedly banned kite flying from Milliken Park (Scarborough) – apparently because of kite string litter. Anyone who breaks this law will now pay a fine of $100. Call us crazy, but aren’t there slightly more cigarette butts, gum packets, and plastic wrappers polluting our streets than kite strings? After nearly protesting by blanketing the park with tampon strings, we instead decided to take a deep breath and turn to our trusty steed. After all, the pony is mightier than the sword.

The Cowgirls love the finer things in life – that much is true. Foley & Corinna, Fendi, Ferragamo… fabulous. But there’s always a breaking point: when you’re showing the saleswomen at Holts photos from your sister’s wedding, you realize it’s time to detox.

How to Blanch at your Ranch.

When barbecuing, the standard side-dish normally involves a few spinach leaves topped with vinaigrette. Not bad, but not great either. Next time you find yourself trotting down the produce aisle, grab some asparagus or green beans instead – it’s time to boil down the facts on a properly blanched salad.

Facing Facts with our Face.
The Cowgirls try out a bazillion products to help you save on facial bills – okay, us too.

In true Patrick Bateman style, the Cowgirls decided to try out some facial creams to see which one was right for us. We happen to have extremely dry and crusty skin – and have usually resorted to thick layers of Vaseline on our face in moments of weakness. But thankfully, April Jackson of Elizabeth Grant Cosmetics heard our cries from the depths of the Twitterverse, and together we tested out a few samples.
