A couple of weeks ago I had a conversation with WORN’s Editor-in-Pants, Serah-Marie (whose living room doubles as the WORN offices), that went something like this:*
Me: I am coming to Toronto for a week.
Her: Sounds good!
Me: I might need to crash on your couch while I’m in town.
Her: Can’t wait!
Me: I’ll also probably raid your fridge and watch all your Gilmore Girls DVDs.
Her: We’re ready for you!
Me: Also, my blogger friends Tavi and Isabel are in town, and I might bring them around for a tour.
Her: …Dang, now I’ll need to tidy the place up.
As general fans of anybody with intelligent things to say about fashion, it was a delight and a half to have these ladies come around. Being a typical work day, the office was filled with Wornettes.
Left to right: Deua, yours truly, Stephanie, Tavi, Isabel and Hillary
Our guests spend a minute or two examining our fashion library, followed by two hours (give or take) of ogling a Star Wars Pez collection.
Tavi is fascinated by the inside of a barrel of monkeys. We’ve all been there.
Gathering around to look at proofs from a recent photoshoot for issue 11 (out this fall). Excited? We know it’s a long wait, but we’ve got the recent release of issue 10 to tide you over.
Stephanie Wornette is so hard at work that it cannot even be accurately captured on camera.
To the left, Tavi continues to earn her title of “Wornette” by making pins to go out with recent subscriptions. To the right, she poses with an equally purple Serah-Marie.
After a hard day’s work (okay, more like 20 minutes), Isabel, Tavi and I departed the WORN offices to explore downtown Toronto. Not captured on our cameras (but Isabel’s got some good shots): Kensington Market, Honest Ed’s, and Tavi’s first Tim Hortons experience.

* I am paraphrasing for dramatic effect. To my knowledge, Serah-Marie has never used the word ‘dang’ in casual conversation.
As only a recent follower of Tavi, I must admit she has already inspired my style. After her post about her incredibly awesome space shorts (http://www.thestylerookie.com/2010/06/wooden-striped-braided-nebulae.html) I held up a pair of black and green zig-zagged hot pants in H&M yesterday wondering,
“What would Tavi do?”
What a fun day.. Too bad it was raining.
I always love seeing Izzo and I can’t lie I was pretty excited to meet Tavi in person, since I am a long time reader of her blog.
Don’t we all look pretty? hahaha
This is amazing!! Best time ever, I gotta say. Better get to visiting you ladies again soon!
Star Wars pez collection?! Can I come and live in the Worn offices?
looks like the best time! Wish we coulda been there!
Eline: I will have to make room for you on the futon first.
great pictures, ladies – yes deua, you all look super gorgeous!
Wait a minute…Serah-Marie lets YOU sleep over too?!?! ….all this time I thought I was special….just don’t tell me you watched My So Called Life….I don’t know if I can handle it!
haha last february we watched MSCL and made valentines day cards :)
Sounds like a fantastic time!
But did you eat pizza in bed while watching?! I think not! (oh god…please don’t tell me they ate pizza in bed….)
Star Wars Pez… awesome.
I don’t know Deua, I’m looking pretty super awkward in all these pictures. In kind of a, “OMG, people from the internet have come to exist in real life, play it cool!” kind of way. I don’t deal well when worlds collide…
Anna: I could fit in the cupboards?
Eline, if you ever come to toronto we will make room for you.
WORN THIS IS AMAZING!!! YOU ARE SO COOL I LOVE YOU!
Tavi’s a cutie! wish i was there girls!
Sounds like so much fun! Tavi’s blog is amazing, and I have recently discovered WORN Fashion Journal, and I can tell you that I’m loving it so far!
