Dear Toronto #19 - Kids on TV Dance for Men


Le Tigre’s Jd Samson and Johanna Fateman’s group Men had a srsly oresome 2 hour DJ set at Pride Toronto this year, and were joined on stage by members of Kids on TV for two songs. John Caffrey, so I’m told, can’t resist shakin’ it when there’s beats to be heard.

Dear Toronto #15 - Sweet Valley High Ninja Lesbian Porno Murder Mystery

At one of Tanja’s recent freestyle photo shoots Ryan brought his first batch of Ninja Dolls in the hopes that they would elicit some sort of reaction amongst a few people. The last thing he expected was for a video to be shot, and the related title above also functions as a great summary to its content.

Special thanks to Maggie and Steph, the two most twisted people at the House that Parkdale Built. Possibly the most inebriated as well.

Dear Toronto #9 - Pillow Fight League



Fight Club made it cool to beat the crap out of your friends all the way back in the 90s, but The Pillow Fight League (PFL) made it cool to for woman to beat the crap out of each other with a couple of thick feather sacks. Given the choice between watching Ed Norton shadow box and watching Mickey Dismantle thwack Eiffel Power with a pillow, I’d choose the latter. If you know what’s good for you, and you don’t want Laina Beaton to tear you in half, you’ll watch our latest vid, chronicling the competition to crown the number one contender to Boozy Suzy’s PFL throne. Watch the vid to find out who comes out on top.

NOTE: Boozy Suzy has since retired, which means the winner of the above matches is in need of an opponent! The next PFL match happens on April 24th at the Gladstone Hotel. If you can’t make it, the PFL is promising to stream the action live over the net.

If you like what you see, please don’t hesitate to send this vid to an awesome friend with those sharing buttons below!
