This weekend was brought to you by Kensington and the number 5. Okay, we made up the bit about the number 5, but Kensington was the august August weekend theme. From a long and endearing piece about Kensington kids in the Sunday Star to Pedestrian Sundays to Saturday Night in the market, Kensington was the word. So let's proceed with a short wrap up of the newly crazy Saturday Night scene.

TO's got its own little one woman Huffpost in the Star's Antonia Zerbisias. Get ready for the Star media maven's music picks, or 'chick licks,' as she so, uh, cleverly, calls them. Mildly frightening, but TOist knows you're all very strong people.

Well, kinda. The much-awaited, revamped Sunday Star is here, as of yesterday, and, as promised, it is new. It even has an article on the meaning of 'new,' by fishing and floating philisophist Mark Kingwell. It's got week-old Times' crosswords (score! If you can wait a week), chunks of ephemera from Schott's Miscellany, and a back page summary of everything in the paper. Also, it's all colour, all the time. The only thing that doesn't quite gel as of yet are the Harpers-style snippets, hastily pulled from websites, like topics on an exotic dancer's chatroom. And a business piece on the fried versus the flourishing that tries to compare Tim Horton's (with thousands of shops across the country) to Krispy Kreme (a novelty shop, with just a few attraction-style locations across the country).
