White squirrels! We saw white squirrels!

Today was our lucky day. We saw the elusive and timid albino squirrels of Trinity-Bellwoods Park. . . .

. . . and the street was absolutely covered in Travoltas

Well, at least we have pictures of the Hairspray set that was actually touched by John Travolta . . .

The Great Money Movie in the sky

A cultural icon from the East Coast passes . . .

Running from Sept 27- Oct 1 at Theatre Passe Muraille Native Earth presents Honouring Theatre an indigenous theatre triple bill. Annie Mae’s Movement, a culmination of Canadian playwright Yvette Nolan’s artistic and personal growth, featuring two-time Gemini award winner Michelle St. John in the title role. Imported from New Zealand, Frangipani Perfume is a powerful and sensual black comedy about escape and dreams. Playwright Makerita Urale flicks out satirical slaps at Margaret Mead while bowing down to the greatness of Einstein and mesmerizing tropical fragrances. Rounding out the playbill is playwright David Milroy’s 2003 Patrick White Award-winning play Windmill Baby, produced by Yirra Yaakin Noongar Theatre of Australia.

The full title of the painting which inspired our magazine title is Homo sapiens, Lepidium sativum and Calliphora vomitoria - a wise man, some cress, and a bluebottle. It is the work of British artist Stuart Pearson Wright.

"At the end of the first sitting, the Prince inspected the work and exclaimed 'godzooks' or 'godzounds', the artist was too alarmed to remember which."
