The signage on the store window spells it out: "fashion, music, glamor."
It's not false advertising. Jacflash is a gas, gas, gas.
Jacflash is a hot new boutique at 1036-1038 Queen St. W. between Ossington and Dovercourt in the reclaimed strip butting into Parkdale that's been dubbed West Queen West or variations thereof.
Just open for a little over a month now, it's creating a buzz for its edgy inventory of women's and men's wear and accessories - a little bit of glam; a little bit of rock 'n' roll like its namesake, 22-year-old hottie Jaclyn Genovese, who is co-owner with her father, Geoffrey.

A bill pending in the Senate would protect the style of a garment, and not just the logo, under copyright.
The vendors on Santee Alley are going underground with the good stuff, the $300 knockoff designer handbags so close to the real thing, they could fool an Hermès salesgirl.
Most of the bags displayed out in the open on downtown L.A.'s most infamous retail street (the No. 1 hub for counterfeit fashion goods in the U.S., according to the LAPD), are half-hearted, vinyl versions of "It" bags, crafted on the cheap in Chinese factories.
And contrary to popular belief, these bags, bearing comical labels such as "Prawa" (Prada) and "Channel" (Chanel), are legal to manufacture and sell.
They aren't, under current laws, considered counterfeit goods.

32 contemporary jewellery designer makers and silversmiths based in Birmingham whose work sells nationally and internationally will be coming together to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a dual site exhibition in their home town.
Centrepiece was formed in 1997 by a group of mainly self-employed designer-makers working in the Jewellery Quarter, as part of the revitalisation of the district.
The group's aims were to provide a platform for their combined talent and creativity and to showcase their work to a wider audience.
To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Centrepiece has invited twelve young up and coming designers to join them at their annual exhibition.
These designers will be exhibiting for the first time at the Town Hall, Birmingham, in addition to their annual residency at Symphony Hall.
The Centrepiece group is mainly comprised of jewellers, and also includes enamellers, silversmiths and a gemstone artist.
All of Centrepiece's members have workshops in the city with the majority based in the one mile radius around the quarter's famous clock.
They have collectively won numerous awards for their work and have commissioned and presented works to HRH Prince of Wales, Evelyn Lauder and Vivienne Westwood.
