Salem Makes a Statement.

Our interview with Hibebe designer, Salem Moussallam

Sitting in Starbucks waiting to interview fashion designer, Salem Moussallam, was kind of like going on a blind date – until he walked through the door. I knew right away that the good-looking, tanned model sporting a massive Louis Vuitton duffle, chic sunglasses, casual sweats and patent leather loafers was definitely the mystery man I’d been waiting for. And yet, his playful smile and double-cheek kiss made me feel like I’d known him for centuries. Not your average stuck-up, I-don’t-have-time-for-the-masses fashion designer, Salem wants to share his style with the world. His bold and beautiful looks have been seen on stars such as Lady Gaga and Rihanna, but surprisingly, his adventure all started with simply needing an outfit for the semi-formal.

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.

Friends and New Visitors,

Mainstream media in Toronto is all a bit of a buzz kill. That’s why Mushy Pony is here – we’re here for the other guys. The ones who don’t need to be seen Tweeting at the Drake’s patio. The ones who work hard, and ride harder. Between our hot interviews, our hot sex columnist, and our mega hot motorcycle reviews, you know you’re saddled up for a good read.

Our articles are a lot like our ponies. Short, sturdy, quirky, and can deliver a good kick. They delve into the various gems that make up this wonderful city of ours and deliver you the goods. Not sure what all the mush is about? See below for contact info and ask us personally:
