Remember this sculpture? It disappeared from the TD Centre plaza last year. It consisted of enormous curved bronze slabs set across from one another to form a ring. There were three large, bronze chairs arranged around the outside of the ring. The title of the sculpture was The Ring. Which seems appropriate.

Toronto's extensive work on the silver screen reveals that, while we have the chameleonic ability to look like anywhere from New York City to Moscow, the disguise doesn't always hold up to scrutiny. Reel Toronto revels in digging up and displaying the films that attempt to mask, hide, or—in rare cases—proudly display our city.

For some men, a suit feels like an unnatural and constricting male uniform; a way of burying individuality in the conventional business attire of dark suit, white shirt, and tie. There are certainly a fair share of businessmen, bankers and lawyers wandering through the PATH corridors beneath the Financial District who carry themselves in exactly this fashion. For those attuned to the subtle details of masculine appearance, however, the suit offers a perfect canvas for the conspicuous display of their personality and taste. The distinctions between the two may seem slight, but for the individiual responding to the homogenization of life—that the exact same ready-to-wear designer suit is available in Toronto, Dubai or Barcelona—a bespoke suit is the ultimate means of self-expression.

Restaurants: Hero Comes to Save the Day

Three hundred gingivits plagued citizens swishing in unison! It's Gingivitis Week in Canada and our dentist did not call to remind us. Nevermind the fact that we don't have a dentist, we're still incensed. To commenorate this highly important and Pfizer-sponsored new official week, crowds gathered at the TD Centre to break the World's record for largest simultaneous swish yesterday. You can't make this stuff up. Nor would you want to. Of course, we should not be making light of this extremely important 'week.' 75% of Canadians suffer from gingivitis. Egads. Also, please note the giant toothbrush in the photo. Worse than gingivitis is the epidemic of banal jumbo costumes that seem to be overtaking the city.
