According to a Queer Grrrl: The Str8 Goods.
So I thought to dedicate a blog to my straight male peeps. My bro’, literally straighter than a nail was hanging with me over Xmas. We went out on a Thursday night. Looking for something cheap after all that Xmas shopping.
We have three things in common, bro’ and I: sex , vaping and karaoke. We started at Seductions, travelled to Village Vapor. Then found ourselves in karaoke wonderland at the Fox and Fiddle.
.
Our first stop was Seductions at 577 Yonge Street. The sex part was easy. He’s newly single was looking to find a way to relieve the possibility of winter boredom.
The really helpful salesman on the lower level, talked straight about a “pocket pussy.” Club Jenna by Doc Johnson has come up with a good product for a great price made from UR3. “UR3 material is life-like, latex free, and hygienically safe. So you can use it over and over again.” Its kind of weird looking, but according to the sales person it was a good choice. At $25.99 its cheaper than a date gone wrong.

Village Vapor Lounge is on the third floor at 66 Wellesley. Its like stepping into someones living room and is very intimate. Its also, very str8 friendly. So friendly in fact that bro’ got hit on by a handsome gay dude. That didn’t matter much to him as he kept looking at the eye candy. It was a nice mixed crowd of happy queers and cute str8′s.
THE BATHROOM DOOR AT VILLAGE VAPOR. SEE? ANYONE CAN JOIN THE FUN!
It is a BYOP(bring your own pot) just as every other vaping place in Toronto. if you have never heard of such a place, then take a look at this . it will explain everything. If you are a feather light weight like me,you may find this place a little less schmoky than some of the bigger pot cafe’s in Toronto. They will happily turn on a fan if it gets too much.
$5 to get in with no alcohol or smoking in the cafe. They have some munchies for purchase and free acess to the vaporisers.
Bernie Gold, Dj and karaoke host veteran brought amazing sound to the dining room at Fox and Fiddle. By midnight. over 25 singers were in the rotation. Despite this, the pace of the show was kept at a good balance of karaoke to DJ dance music.

His sound is impeccable to how its loud your ears don’t hurt when u leave the room. A sexy vibe comes from mixed crowd of giggling and laughing people. The opening song was “Hot Toddy” sung by a white guy.
There are two sides of the Fox and Fiddle Pub at 27 Wellesly Street East. The second is a classic style bar. You can hear the karaoke music so if you dont want to join the crowd, you can snuggle in there. Quick Tip though, if you are hoping for a second song, get there earlier than 10. The show runs to 2 am. Then remember your spot in rotation so you can hear your name being called regardless of where you may be in the pub.
.

At the end of the night bro’ looks at me and says he’s not had fun like that in some time. its certainly was a better way to spend a thursday then staying in and being bored.
