Do you know where to go to find someone who knows how to correctly fit you for a bra?

Well I know. You can head to  Jelena Styles Lingerie (JSL) in Decarie Square where, the sales women know how fit you for your correct bra size and shape. The personalized service makes it so pleasant to shop here.

Even better. Starting October 4th, you can book a free fitting with a Wacoal bra fit specialist. Even better than that, is that Wacoal will donate $2 to Susan G. Komen in this Fit for the Cure event. And better than that? Wacoal will then donate another $2 for every bra purchased. Appointments are suggested but walk-ins are possible too.

Jelena Styles Lingerie (JSL) sells high quality European lingerie at affordable Canadian prices. All the designs are produced with excellent fabrics and offer you comfort and elegance, bringing joy to every woman

The rest of the little shop is chock full of an extensive bra collection including names you know along with exclusive lines. It’s a good idea for women considering breast reduction, augmentation or reconstruction to make an appointment for a fitting prior to surgery  – specialty bra from company Amoena.

If you ever are looking for bathing suits in the off-season, they’re here too. Since Jelena’s specialty is help with selecting bras, that knowledge easily transfers to help with bathing suits:  Tyr, Amoena, Alia, Nygard and Gottex – all swimsuits up to 50% discount.

Un Poyo Rojo translates as “a red rooster,” but the actors in this performance dance/act more like strutting peacocks. “It” takes place in an empty locker room with only two actors and very little dialogue. The “it” is hard to pin down. Is it dance? acrobatics? a play?

The physical comedy is a “pas de deux” where the deux are two men who act out this seductive battle of the dance. The moves run the gamut from wrestling to physical comedy and play out a courtship ritual with only body noises, facial expressions and a radio for the sound effects.

Un Poyo Rojo was developed in Argentina. Luciano Rosso trained in five kinds of dance while Alfonso Baron was famous in sports.  If you want to see more of Russo, you can check out his YouTube channel. Both men are remarkable in their performances and precision timing.

There’s plenty of testosterone, sweat and two sometimes silly performers showing off in a game of seduction where communication is conducted by a highly physical acrobatic dance and athletic competition. Expect every form of movement: martial arts, acrobatics,  mime, clowning and even body percussion.

It is worth coming to the Centaur Theatre to catch the fabulous physical virtuosity of dance, sport and sexuality in Un Poyo Rojo.

You’ll be spending more time indoors soon, so it’s time to re-fresh some decor. Window treatments really make a big splash and can really update the look of your home. Verti Store makes shopping easy because you don’t even have to leave the house. You can take advantage of their completely free and no obligation shop-at-home service. For the same pricing as in store, you can shop in the comfort of your own home with the help of their decorating consultants. 

With dozens of possibilities (check out www.lesdeliceslafrenaie.com), it would be impossible not to find a cake you’d love to eat at Les Delices La Frenaie. There are five locations – east, west, south and Laval, so they’re easy to get to wherever you live. They have been a fixture in St-Leonard for years. Drop in to any one and you can discover so many new treats it will be hard to choose.

Come here for: Bacio, Key Lime Cheesecake (15 others), Frutti di bosco, Dulce de Leche, Orange or Walnut pound cake (16 others), Limoncello, Heavenly Berry and Milky Way in 8″ or 10″ sizes (this can serve about 20). Some can be ordered 36 hours in advance for more than 20 people.

One of Sandra’s favorites is the understatedly named, Fruitcake. Imagine a Strawberry Shortcake made with an assortment of fresh fruit. It is light, whipped creamy, and not overly sweet.

The best deal is the apple, lemon, chocolate chip, or cinnamon marble cakes. I really like the amaretti biscotti. Trays of pizza (tomato, white, all dressed and vegetarian) can be ordered.

If you’re planning a gathering, why not treat your guests with one of Les Delices La Frenaie‘s drool-worthy, decadent cakes. Their delicious desserts are a sure thing to impress the sweet teeth of all dinner party guests.
