Rob Dyer has made a name for himself as the creator of Skate4Cancer, a team who strive to raise awareness and prevention of all forms of cancer.

Hell hath no fury like outdoor Booty Camp. Admittedly, I've been faring pretty well since I started Booty Camp at the beginning of April, but things got kicked up to another level when we moved outdoors. First, the rain. Oh God, the rain. While I can appreciate the sentiments being evoked from the G.I. Jane-esque doing-pushups-in-the-rain that we've had going on--it's brutal. Trying not to break your ankle while running on wet cement had better translate to looking sweet in a bikini once the weather gets nicer. Secondly, the cold. Nothing is more of a deterrent than doing push-ups and sit-ups on cold cement....

Evan Seventeen was once exactly that when he met Anna Von on Friendster. He later started making Teeshirts under that name and then even later started promoting as Evan Seventeen. Suffice it to say, the name sucks. He used to live in Sudbury and hated life. Then he moved to Ottawa and discovered drugs (oh yeah, he used to be straight edge, too) and partying. He's the guy who built our blog, Knee Socks Beat Cleavage, and even though he's far too talented for a shit  job, he is endlessly working at call centres anyway. A few years ago, he grew a mustache which made him look...

Every club chomps at the celebrity bit during Film Fest but after years and years of parties, both official and un, we have become seasoned vets at this TIFF party biz. It's not about who's gonna be there (chances are you won't even get so much as a glance at Megan Fox at her party) it's more about who's in attendance on the dace floor.

Anne Middleton is the owner and operator of one of the best stores on Queen Street West, Lavish & Squalor. She's got a great eye, carrying a lot of brands no one else seems to get like locals Oligarchy and MOB out of New York. Think it's frustrating to be ahead of the curve, hell ya. But thank god for broads like her throwing down on trash infested, Queen West. She loves Lilo and hates Katy Perry. And we makeout with her for that. 1. What is your dream of happiness? Interesting things to do, say, hear, look at,...
