You may recall a professed girl crush on Rachel Ballinger? My new object of crush is Alicat (above) since she modeled for Aritzia in December.  The homegrown cutie from Toronto, lives in London where her main gig is rocking out on the regular as the front girl for her band.   Featured in Elle UK’s December Music Special, Alicat described her style: “I like to invent little characters depending on how I feel.  Today I wanted to look like I’d just come from a goth ballet class.  Everything inspires me, from fashion to paintings, but mostly women I see in the street who prove that shopping on a budget can force you to be creative to fantastic effect.”

Rad. I asked Alicat a few questions of my own.

What’s the name of your band and what kind of music do you play?
I sing in a band called Ghostcat.  We make a big pop racket.

What are you listening to these days?
Funny enough, only fellow females at the moment…still rocking Gagas ‘The Fame Monster’, loads.  Downloaded Amanda Blank’s 'I Love you' and Ke$ha’s ‘Animal’.

Words to live by?
I constantly tell myself that “fortune favours the brave”, but consistently adhering to it is another thing altogether!  I’ve been known to wuss out but I’m working on it.

Who's your girl crush?
Currently? It's gotta be Megan Fox.  Foxy by name, foxy by nature.  Have you seen ‘Jennifer’s Body’? Yikes.  Even my mom was like, “Who is this Megan Fox, I hear she’s really sexy?”  I would cause some serious evil in this world if I could look like that girl for one day.  I know it’s not the most cerebral pick but I don’t care.  Girlfriend is fine.

I heard you picked up some gear from the Aritzia shoot.  What did you get?
I loved the Talula bandage skirt from the fall collection and had to pick one up for myself.   I also picked up a pair of Acne hex jeans in washed black.  I really want one of those CANADA Olympic tank tops I just saw on the Aritzia blog…do you guys do mail order?!

Ghostcat's new single 'Everybody On The Dancefloor' is set for release this spring.  In the meantime check out her moves in the 'This Is A Bust' video.
