Toronto's Best Dressed: Deena PantaloneThis week's pick donned the perfect party frock, which nails all the right balances: classic, but not boring; bright, but not blinding; youthful, but definitely not for the teenybopper set. We spoke to the diva behind the dress, Toronto developer Deena Pantalone, who explained her approach to recessionary fashion that, incidentally, doesn't involve skimping on shoes.
WHO DESIGNED YOUR DRESS?
Well, me, sort of. It's a really old vintage dress I've had lying around the house for years. My cousin is a stylist in New York, so she helped me decide how to alter it, and then I just took it into one of those tiny mom-and-pop seamstress shops on Queen West.

Speaking of wearing the same dress. I have this dress. The exact same dress, down to the colour and every last detail of stitching. Its neon red and amazing. Although it looks vintage, its not. FYI hunny, ‘you’ didn't design this dress, at all. They didn't make neon red cocktail dresses in the 50’s.
The “tiny mom-and-pop seamstress [shop] on Queen West”, is in fact a fabulous dress boutique called Champagne and Cupcakes. I think credit should be given where credit is due.
Great dress though.
Caroline says:
Deena,
I am EXTREMELY disappointed that you are claiming that you, “sort of” designed the dress and had it “altered at a seamstress shop on Queen.”
WOW!
I’m not sure what you are trying to prove, but you did not “sort of” design the dress. I, PERSONALLY designed AND made that dress. All I must say is WOWEE…talk about trying to steal credit. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And FYI, Champagne & Cupcakes is NOT a “seamstress shop”, as I am NOT a seamstress. I am a designer. Champagne & Cupcakes is a local dress boutique which sells dresses designed and made by myself.
All I have to say is WOW, the nerve of some people.
Ana, thank you so much for making the correction! I really appreciate people who understand how to properly credit someone’s work and have an appreciation for it. Thanks again!
oh…and Deena,
I’m not sure how this dress was “lying around your house for years” if it was only created this season.
Wow.
Maria says:
I HAVE THIS DRESS TOO - but in an electric purple!!! From the amazing designer, Caroline Lim - Champagne & Cupcakes, on West Queen West! BUSTED!!
kathy says:
note to the editor of this section: given the obvious appropriation of the dress design, i think a formal correction is in order. after all, we all know that copyright in the fashion industry is a hot issue right now.
Richard says:
Produce the receipt Cupcakes, finish her off.
Bet there isn’t even a cousin in New York.
Annie says:
I cannot believe Deena’s audacity. What a complete and blatant lie! I work as a fashion stylist and often pull from Champagne and Cupcakes for shoots and magazine editorials. I know 200% that this dress is an original Champagne and Cupcakes design as I would get to preview some of Caroline’s new designs before it’s sold in the store, and this was one of them! She had even consulted me on some of the fabric color choices she was thinking of offering in her new collection. She has options in yellow, green and red in that dress, and it’s one of her best selling designs! Does she seriously think she can fool the fashionistas in Toronto?! I completely agree with Kathy’s comment above on copyright. Please, have some class and own up to your pathetic fabrication.
Viv says:
Champagne and Cupcakes is a wonderful store with a very hardworking and talented owner and designer! She is not only an amazing talent but a great person!
Love you Caroline!
Caroline says:
I really appreciate all the positive feedback! Wow. I’m gonna give credit to where it’s due, so Deena, thanks to you, all the loyal Champagne and Cupcakes customers are getting a treat. I’ll be having a ‘Miss Discredit Discount Sale’. As a thank you for leaving a comment, Champagne and Cupcakes will offer you a discount at the store! Just print out your comment from the blog and we’ll take $5 off each regular priced in store dresses or 10% off accessories on your next purchase from May 27-June3, 2009.
Thanks for the support! XOXO!
Jessica says:
Not that another comment truly needs to be made, HOWEVER, as an employee at Champagne and Cupcakes I can say that this beautiful frock is a genuine Ms.Lim design - I have sold and seen Caroline sell more than just a few of this brand-new and fabulous dress in the store.
And to put Deena straight - Caroline’s boutique is not one bit “Mom and Pop”, and she is a DESIGNER not a seamstress.
Shame on you Deena. If you were even a tiny bit of a designer, you would never claim someone’s elese work to be your own.
ruby says:
this article only caught my eye because i too own this dress! was shocked when i began reading…LIAR!!!
Deena Pantalone: shame on you!
Lorna says:
Deena’s a typical evil developer— finding something cool and then trying to pass it off as their own.
Deena,perhaps you’re one of the best liars but definitely not the best dressed.
Tiana says:
Not even a very good liar to start with…
Caroline, I am so sorry this happened to you. YOUR designs are beautiful and no one should ever try to pass them off as their own..ew tacky.
Kaleigh says:
kind of makes you wonder what else she may be lying about as well…….
Casie Stewart says:
SHAME on you.
Now the whole interweb knows. Boo hoo.
Tiffany says:
hahaha i know this girl…
Deena you really need to relax with claiming a design is yours when it cleary is not. Like what your so spoiled that you’re afraid to let people know that your not wearing Gucci or Prada? way to use the “it’s vintage card”
ps the new york cousin is real, but she is hardly a stylist hahaha She’s just as much of a poser as her cousin.
Caroline, love your designs girl… my girlfriend wore that exact dress for her birthday and was definitely the best dressed birthday girl i have ever seen. I need to come in to check out your collection.
Lilly says:
For the record, the style of this dress is a classic. As if it is an original of Champagne and Cupcakes, if anyone should get the design credit it’s Oscar de la Renta and the store did nothing but knock it off.
Cam says:
Audrey Hepburn had style & grace.
You may have style with this gorgeous dress but honey…you definitely DO NOT have grace!
shame on you.
Steph says:
She stole credit for a dress and why is she called a recessionista if she’s dropping mega bucks on shoes and high end jewelery???
Considering everyone and their dog knows this dress is from C&C - kind of questions the person who is heading up this section in Style, don’t it?
Recessionistas buy accessories where they are cheap. Their shoes are the same. And the dress? Well I think Deena’s been embarrassed enough. Plus very unflattering on her. Looked better on me!
Shannon says:
Now this is funny. Oh, the facepalms.
Fashion says:
Girlfriend lied her butt off and got caught, thinking no one would catch her.
She is getting stones thrown at her in every direction and no one should try to fight it, because she deserves it. There is no credible defense. The only face saving thing to do is to apologize to Caroline. In person. But failing that, no one should try to defend her. This too shall pass (although it’s going to last awhile), so the next best thing is for her to keep quiet.
And not to put a caste system on things, but being a designer does require much more skill than being a seamstress, but Miss Thing is probably too pampered to realize that no one in the service sector is her servant. Everybody that “serves” her is probably a “squire” in her mind - sort of like Don Quixote.
Jean says:
@ Lilly:
It’s ridiculous. Given, that designs are all some sort of knockoff or ‘inspired’ by another design, but to actually wear the item of a designer and claim credit as your own is just wrong.
Valentina says:
And with apparent ease, Deena managed to cram her Louboutin-clad foot in her gaping maw…
Jin says:
This is 2009, and we are living in the world of SOCIAL MEDIA- dont’ even think about lying like ms. Deena here, and get away with it!!
I have never seen so many comments on any TL blog posting.
Champagne & Cupcakes says:
Everyone, thank you so very much for your support. It is very nice to hear your positive feedback. Eventhough your support is very appreciated, please do not post anymore negative comments for Ms. Patalone.
Although, I was upset at first, I now feel like Champagne & Cupcakes has received the proper credit for the dress. I would appreciate if this issue was laid to rest. Honestly, there are no hard feelings.
Thanks again.
Amoryn Engel (National Post writer) says:
This is very evidently a witch hunt that has been staged by the owner of Champagne and Cupcakes. Any dummy could figure out that these posts have been submitted by friends of the shop’s owner Caroline. I find this truly appaling. Shame on you Caroline for encouraging this disgusting display. I will certainly never bring you my business — whatever happened to discretion? How unprofessional.
kathy says:
sorry, amoryn, you seem to be missing the point here. a witchhunt implies an innocent accused - not the case here. ms. deena brought this on herself with her ridiculous story, and lack of smarts (did she really not know that toronto life has comments section on its website, and that there is such a thing as an internet?). and what exactly should the maker of the dress that was claimed to be made by another person be discreet about? if somebody ripped off your work, and claimed it as theirs, you would be ‘discrete’ about it? are you insane?
i don’t know the owner of the store, not that you’d believe me. but even if most of the posters are her friends, so what? does that make the facts of the case different? no.
Glam says:
Discretion flies out the window when the way one puts bread on the table is undermined by someone who claims in print that they made the ugly dress instead of the rightful person who made said ugly dress.
The Truth says:
To Amoryn Engel - it’s far more shameful that you are obviously a friend of Ms. Pantalone and accusing a hard working owner of a business of going on a “witch hunt” against your friend. You are no doubt a great and loyal friend, but a lousy judge of character and propriety. There is no defense for what Pantalone did. None. Zippo.
If you are a true friend, let her wear a sack cloth instead of C&C for awhile, and then she’ll get over it and get back to being a socialite with no regard for all the little people.
Edwin says:
Dear Amoryn Engel
I have no words for you. You truly have no knowledge of what are rights, and what are lies…
The Truth says:
If anyone does a google search, you can find some pretty revealing things.
Ms. Pantalone is no doubt a very powerful lady in the “right” circles, as are her defenders, some of who may have even posted on the comments section...Those that are advantaged, that find themselves in a position to run charity balls need to realize that the world does not revolve around them, and they cannot manipulate and lie just because they are rich and/or beautiful. The truth matters, and if you are the stewards and leaders of your organizations, what do your little white lies, and your bald-faced defenses say about you?
If your heart is pure with charity, then you should know this already.
Valentina says:
Amoryn Engel, this story has made the rounds on Twitter amongst other websites and blogs. How embarrasssing.
Personally, I hadn’t heard of either designer or Queen of the Gaffe (Pantalone) prior to today.
Although I must say it is very noble of you to pander to your society pal with your comments attacking the designer. With any luck, this display will earn you an extra double air kiss from her at the next event you attend together!
Wonder Woman says:
Wow!!! Wow!!
Okay-here is the deal. I know Deena. She is a friend of the family. Lets be clear and fair in our remarks. What she did…in claiming that she designed the dress, is WRONG.
OKAY??? YES!! WRONG!!
But what is with ALL you people freaking out???
I haven’t spoken to her about this-I caught wind on Twitter.
I really feel that many of you have lost your sense of proportionality. You are using crazy and hurtful language to attack someone, because she did something that 95% of us do…which is to bend the truth about fashion?? Where are your heads? DO ANY OF US WEAR MAKEUP? DO ANY OF US PAINT OUR NAILS???? IS THAT NOT ALSO A LIE…?? IS THAT NOT ALSO PART OF THE NEVER ENDING FASHION MYTH??
I mean, its only fashion.
Caroline has every right to be upset. But Deena is an amazing young woman, who is very family oriented, extremely hard working and donates massive amounts of her personal time to charity.
And she screwed up.
But please…back off with this venom. Its simply too much.
There are some real issues in the world for us to be paying attention to…and some of them are the recipients of the amazing charitable work done by pillars in our society, like Deena.
The anonymity of a blog, isn’t really a blank cheque, for you to lose your entire equilibrium. Its only fashion.
I guess I am Super Man says:
Re: Wonder Woman
I love how you think that because she is involved in charitable work, we should somehow find it within ourselves to exonerate her of what is clearly a fabrication.
If it is “just fashion,” then how come Deena couldn’t just say she purchased it at Champagne and Cupcakes?
This is just another case of trying to ‘up’ credibility outside of your professional domain and not having the style gene to pull it off. Deena is obviously not worthy of being named Best Dressed, not only because she is quite clearly taking credit for a several-decade-old silhouette, but also because the design isn’t that remarkable in the first place.
Annie says:
@ Wonder Woman:
Why is this blog getting so much attention?! People are passionate about expressing their outrage because this transcends into more than ‘ONLY FASHION’. Yes, this is a fashion post and the whole subject IS based/started on a fashion topic, re. ‘best dressed’, but what people can relate to is that she obviously lied and took credit for something she didn’t do. Whether you like the dress or not, who cares?! You can take the dress out of the equation because this goes beyond fashion, it can happen in any field of work, creative wise or business wise. Deena could’ve simply said ‘It was specially designed for me’, but instead she took the liberty to create an elaborate lie to make herself look better.
And if Deena really IS a ‘pillar in the community’ as you claim, then she REALLY should have been smarter before she opened her mouth. Because this is no longer an issue of ONLY FASHION. Now I would question her morals and integrity when it comes to professional and business dealings. How can I be sure when working with her or for her that she will not just lie to benefit herself?!
We’ve all been taught the moral of the story from a young age, from ‘The boy who cried wolf’ to dear old former president Mr. Bill Clinton. WHEN YOU LIE, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES!
It’s not only fashion, it’s reality.
Joe d says:
Reading todays Toronto Star Living section page L5 and there is a picture of Ms Pantalone with her Mom in the infamous ‘dress’ from the Butterfly ball. FYI its credited, according to the paper as being a DIOR...Ms Pantalone has unwittingly become digital highway roadkill- Fashion carnage at its frothy finest.
emma says:
I personally would have really respected Deena if she’d used the opportunity to help promote a home grown Canadian small business-part of the very backbone of our country’s economy. As a business person (or someone who works for her dad at any rate) you’d think Deena would understand how valuable this publicity could be to a small business. But instead, she used the opportunity to self-promote in a dishonest way. It makes us wonder what else is fake about her...I have to say that, on a personal note, reading this story brought me right back to my years at Branksome Hall-a private girl’s school that both Deena and I attended (though I’m much younger than she is). This whole silly escapade felt just so authentically Branksome.
Paula says:
Deena is pathetic! Hahaha… with all her friends commenting here, she has no doubt heard that she has very PUBLICLY been found out! She is clearly to embarassed to defend herself, because she knows she lied.
I don’t know this person or that person on here, but I do own that EXACT dress from Champagne and Cupcakes… whether or not she says its Dior or vintage - there is a very specific way you can tell it is neither…:
see the lining at the shoulder peaking out slightly? I remember thinking that was a great touch to my dress - all three of the colourways had these very distinct linings in a slightly off-tone of the dress!
Deena just thinks she’s too special to actually own something affordable by the rest of the general public.
Prententious much?
I dare Deena to apologize in face to the designer she ripped off - or to actually come forward to defend her ridiculous actions.
Joe d says:
the star has replaced it online but trust me when i say the hardcopy newspaper lying on my floor has a pic of her with her and Mom and it definitely says its a Dior. Interesting the Star online just changed the image and didn’t bother to mention a correction or any of the fashion tsunami that is whirling around. A little disingenuous I think on their end.
Janice says:
OMG I just heard the divine Shaun Proulx comment on his afternoon drive on this topic. BEST COMMENTARY SO FAR (he’s also the hottie behind the HIMBO! blog post above) on this disaster. LOL. Deena u suck.
OOPS - I mean his afternoon drive show on 103.9 PROUD FM … the above made no sense otherwise I realized! J. (Deena u still suck.)
Jeremy says:
I do not think that someone should take credit for someone else’s work, but at the same time the way that this was handled was not classy at all. The designer should have called the customer (who had to this point frequented her shop and spent enough money to deserve some respect) and expressed her displeasure. She should then have asked the customer to contact this magazine and provide a clarification/correction (and possibly an endorsement). Only then, if no response or explanation was forthcoming, would it have been appropriate to take the complaint public, and even then, it should never have become a smear campaign.
There is a right way and a wrong way to handle things, and this was not handled well. I would never buy a dress from someone (I don’t buy dresses so lets say suit) who was so quick to attack their customers and to encourage others to do so. The designer’s subsequent comments seem to suggest that she realized this.
RBeezy says:
Jeremy, Deena called Caroline a seamstress. That’s an insult. I’m a graphic designer and if someone referred to me as a typesetter or production artist they’d get it with both barrels.
Props to Caroline for standing up for her artistry.
lia says:
jeremy you’re delusional. this is what twitter and social media are based on: immediacy of information. what are you a mennonite?
The Truth says:
I’m a mennonite seamstress recessionista in laboutin heels
A dynamite seamless procession of venom at the booty deal
Handed to champagne and cupcakes from some bland b-cup fake
While a bad babysitter hits twitter with bitter words that will get her
Equally hated by friends of the offender, who somehow find a way to defend her
Should have given the poor store the fairest mention,
Instead of coming off like the poor man’s Paris Hilton
Next time you find yourself at charity balls, remember C&C, and hope Clarity Calls
Blink says:
Word on the street is that Deena herself went over to C&C yesterday to apologize (sort of) to Caroline.
Case closed.
Jean says:
Re: Jeremy
That’s absurd. You seriously think each and every store you buy something from will take down your number so they can call you, just in case?! And so what if Deena spend money at C&C? So you think spending lots of money means she can do as she pleases?! She paid to buy the dress, not the right to boasts it as her own creation. And I do not see it as a smear campaign as the owner of the store merely stated a fact that it’s her own design. Deena lied, and she got caught.
Joe d says:
Front page of the paper people. Toronto Star. Here is your link.
Eddie says:
Sweet justice! And remember Deena, your deceit will be forever archived in digital repository called the world wide web. The internet—-the great equalizer.
By the way, nice earings. Where did you get them? :->
Eddie says:
One more q: (not meant in a sarcastic way whatsoever)
Caroline says she’s not a “seamstress” but a designer that designs and makes dresses. Does the difference lie in that a seamstress makes clothes based on other people’s designs and a designer designs AND makes the outfit?
sew happy says:
re eddie:
Well in the fashion industry we call a sewer the person who sews the clothes and puts the garment together, usually in large quantities. A seamstress is a person a consumer would normally bring their already bought and finished clothing for alterations, such as fixing a hem or letting out a seam. A designer is the creator of the garment, from design and concept. Caroline is known in the industry for doing it all herself. From fabric choices, to design, pattern drafting and sewing.
Gianni Versace says:
wow, what a LOSER…at least the media storm is causing a lot of attention for the designer and she will probably have the busiest month ever in June.
Deena….what a catch…hope you can find a SUCKER that will put up with your HIGH-MAINTENANCE, gold-digging, lies…did I mention LOSER..
Seraph says:
There is something else going on here besides taking credit for someone else’s work. The underlying point here is that Ms. Pantalone obviously felt the store and the price tag on the dress beneath what was expected of her. To lie about a dress bought and altered from Walmart would be excusable by everyone on this blog. I think what’s really irked people is that she’s elevated herself to a whole other level of snobbery. I’m not quite sure why she felt that claiming to refurbishing a vintage dress would somehow be more socially acceptable than admitting to buying from an inexpensive local designer. This is what confuses me most.
Mike says:
Seraph, not admitting the dress is inexpensive to avoid embrassment and taking credit for someone’s work is two different things.
I could imagine for Caroline that designing clothes represents her career, years of hard work & acquired knowledge, and definitely a big part of her her, if not, pretty much her life..
Stealing credit away from Caroline is like taking away a big part of who she is.
Deena, is a very privileged girl, and is like I said before, having so much yet taking away what little others have.
Really resonates with the rich robbing the poor!
Anna says:
The girl looks fat in the dress. Just my opinion.
Ruth says:
Not that anyone cares, but Salman Rushdie made a comment about rich girls who consider “Couturiers” not as artists but simply personal seamstresses in his book Fury.
It’s not a compliment, obviously. Shame on you.
Rochelle says:
It’s pretty pathetic that these Suburban Socialites feel the need (financially?) to shop at these so-called “mom and pop shops”, but feel the need to lie about it. Ms. Pantalone, you were being singled out for being the best dressed, did you not realize that by being honest, you would’ve gotten more style points for shopping locally? “Cousin in New York?” The fact that you would go so far to insult a talented designer is disheartening. The fact that by insinuating that this city doesn’t have the talent to dress you is just stupid.
Leave the fabulous boutiques on Queen such as Champagne & Cupcakes to those who appreciate it. And the next time you have an event, I suggest you try shopping here: Vaughan Mills.
Cleo Weston Rogers says:
Amoryn Engel’s just peed-off because of all the BACK TRACKING she has to do for her upcoming column where she was going to lavish praise on Deena.
Amoryn of the National Post and Ciara of Hello! Canada make Toronto look like such a small town as they consistently feature the same people in their columns, week after tired week. I hope Toronto Life will step up and feature the NEXT best thing.
Amoryn and Deena - go drink yourselves silly at The Spoke Club. The hipsters can be found at…well, we wouldn’t tell you - if you were hip, you would know.
Tara says:
Since she lied about the dress I bet you her Louboutins are fake too. What a loser.
Gbert says:
Apparently this fiasco has generated so much press that the designer’s website has crashed …
Janice says:
With this debacle, Deena comes across as an Airhead and a Mean Girl.
At least she is apologizing to Champagne & Cupcakes albeit with a truckload of justifications.
Would be better if she just said, “I’m sorry, I F$%ked up.”
KC says:
Yet another example of how money can’t buy class. Lying,looking down on a “mom&pop” shop and yapping about how much you’ve spent on your shoes-how vulgar!
Mel says:
Ms. Lim - you, I assume you have never told a lie or two before, and thus I congratulate you on that superhuman feat.
You are shameful, unleashing your vicious, backstabbing, lying, sycophantic b*tches on that poor girl. And yes, I said “lying”. You, who move in a cutthroat world, how dare you judge others?
Yes, Deena did wrong, but what you did was much worse.
You must feel quite the winner - standing triumphant over the ashes of Deena’s reputation, as curious shoppers flock to your store and website. What success story you are and a role model to others!
Disgraceful!!
NG says:
This is basically a public lynching. Yes, she lied. Yes, she did not give credit where it is due. And yes, she got busted. She has apologized. She has admitted she was wrong. I cheated on my homework in highschool. Does that make me an awful person. I have met Deena before. I don’t know her well - and do not claim to be friends - so don’t freak out and say that this is just another example of the ‘rich defending the rich’ (I by no means am rich). She is a pleasant person, who works hard, is charitable, and as a footnote - quite stylish - who has gotten caught in a scandal that has escalated to ridiculous proportions. Yes she is privileged, yes she has very expensive shoes. That does not make her evil. You should not assume she is looking down on designers (who according to all this chatter are looking down on mom & pop shops). I think this whole thing is an example of how everyone likes to find flaws in someone who has more than they do. We are all flawed folks - and I would be willing to bet that Deena wouldn’t waste her time calling you all liars and losers on the internet should the occasion arise.
The Truth says:
I think the Toronto Star article should be the closure here.
Deena did the right thing in the end and she does deserve respect for that.
Also, Caroline did try to stop the nastiness level pretty early on (Day One to be exact), so to anyone trying to cast aspersions at her for encouraging any of this is just being delusional.
The irony is that Deena has far more class than the people defending her.
Bunner says:
It is a good thing that Ms. Lim is not designing for the Ottawa fashion crowd…that inhabit parliament hill, the Senate etc. . Firstly, they would never buy something that she had produced in several colors. Secondly, she has a big mouth, and she could have used this publicity positively…She will be selling many of this design for a few weeks yet, to all the Josephine Lunchbuckets of
t.O. but the fashion mavens of Toronto wom’t touch her with a ten foot pole. All the movers and shakers in Ottawa that govern what we all say and do, would forget her name and address…Who wants to appear at a government function wearing a dress that has been reproduced in several colors. God forbid that Maureen Harper and the G.G. (Governor General) would order one of Lim’s style and then find out that half of the wives and M.P.’s are wearing the same outfit….Deena bought and paid for that dress,,,that makes her the owner…she can say Mickey Mouse made it if she wants…that does not make her a liar. Would everyone have been happy if she had appeared in sack cloth? Ms. Lim, enjoy your few minutes of fame, but, you blew it by acting like injured dignity….in this case, silence would have been golden….
GB says:
Really Bunner? That’s just what I’d expect to hear from the product of such a morally bankrupt town. Emphasis on ‘town’. The relative merits of the dress in question aside, I find it galling what passes for proper social graces and truthfulness in your world.
BTW…I picture the oh-so-worldly Maureen Harper in a nice prairie frock, and the GG in fur, natch.
Cleo Weston Rogers says:
Again….what a small town Toronto is. The Prime Minister’s wife is not Maureen Harper…..but LAUREEN Harper.
Of course Deena has apologized - she HAD to once she was ousted publicly as a liar. It was the very least she could do.
Trish says:
I agree. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, or should I say Lim’s shop… She has far too many supporters who just happen to have landed on this page…
Is there a reason why this feature is still on the Toronto Life site if the information contained therein has been proven incorrect? And how did it happen that Lim’s dress was featured in the first place? Because those of us who work at magazines know that all that stuff is staged and incestuous. Deena was not likely the best dressed. Friends of the editor, friend of a friend, etc.
Deena has said her piece but as far as I’m concerned it’s Lim who owes an explanation.
Branksome Girl says:
Oh Deena! This douchebaggery is actually NOT the world’s biggest shock, especially to the people who actually know you and your “stories”. LOL, crying you a river sister…not.
Stewart says:
Deena’s living a silver-spooned dreamworld life, where honesty and integrity are just words and not personality traits.
