You see an abandoned on the city street. You list it. Anyone can claim it. Basically we've developed an app that whenever you see something like a couch, TV, BBQ, etc. that's been dumped on a street corner, you whip out your iPhone and take a picture of it. The item goes onto a big map, so that anyone can browse and get it for free!

I humbly present, The Leggy Lady. I've challenged myself to go without buying clothing for one year, and to be more creative with my current wardrobe. I share my daily outfit as well as projects and inspiration I have along the way. Join me for an adventure in inconspicuous consumption!

For the year of 2011, I’m living Canadian. For 12 months, I will only buy Canadian products, eat Canadian food and consume Canadian media. I’m documenting my progress through a website, and plan to publish a book about my project in 2012.
