citygirlscapes  | city adventures & guilty pleasures

it all started with a movie. two girls, merely acquaintances, both on the same baseball team and both with a dire interest in seeing hairspray, joined forces to take on the city and john travolta in drag. these are their city adventures. these are their guilty pleasures. these are their reviews.

disclaimer: despite the name, we feel absolutely no guilt about our guilty pleasures

book reviews: every tuesday & thursday.

ashley was born and raised in a small town east of toronto, a town best known for high teen pregnancy rates and the unlikelihood of escaping. but escape she did, to the big city, where she works in broadcast communications and lives in east york (not scarborough).

veronica | city girl with a country soul

veronica was raised right here in the city after fleeing her home country of vietnam at the tender age of 18 months. moving from borough to borough, her family finally settled on downsview. veronica currently works in broadcasting, but spends most of her day watching movies or TV (hey, it’s her JOB afterall). She also enjoys cooking and baking, and is a bit of a foodie. this works well since she has a discerning palate (take that, Ramsay).

likes: movies, musicals (both on stage and off), shoes, food, wine, sushi, books, the nerd store on Wednesdays, all things zombies, music, boys

dislikes: work, general unwashed public, people who stop mid-stride on a busy pedestrian way, bad grammar, jack fruit, early mornings
