Reg Hartt, everyone's favourite dude with a movie theatre in his basement, is promoting the new(ish) film version of off-Broadway tittilator Naked Boys Singing by screening a mini Queer Film Festival at the Cineforum over the next few weeks. Each Thursday night for the next four weeks, he'll screen Naked Boys (which is exactly what it sounds like) at 9, with a different gay movie as a lead-in at 7.

Toronto-based Naked News (NSFW, duh), which already broadcasts both an English and Japanese version, will soon also be available in Spanish, Italian and Korean. That's right. While other newsrooms are cutting back, laying off correspondents, and eliminating foreign bureaus, Naked News is (insert your pun of choice here).

Developers RioCan bought the parking lot at the corner of Queen Street West and Portland back in 2005. Immediately, rumours started to circulate that a big box store, like Home Depot, was going to be built at the site.

The headline for this post wrote itself, in as much as the title of Canadian/gay/polaroid-lovin/tryptych happy Evergon's lecture at Hart House tonight is actually called Let's Get Naked. Fitting indeed, as most of Evergon's lithe and lovely subjects are shot naked. Fitting indeeder, because Evergon's even shot portraits of his confidently normal mum in the buffest of buffs. Torontoist enjoyed the occasional Evergon siting and/or lecture in the hallowed halls of Concordia Fine Arts - His practice is unlike any other polaroidists. Each shot is a meticulously planned affair, as large-scale exposures can cost thousands of dollars per. Plus, any opportunity to wander the Harry Potteresque hallways of Hart House is an opportunity worth taking, especially to see the portrait gallery and library. Nudity and erudity. A dazzling combination.
