  • Slow Art with Karin


    Karin organized a ‘Slow Art Toronto’ event at The Art Gallery of Ontario… it’s a worldwide new art movement, Toronto’s on the early adapters list.  Basically you look at one piece as long as you can, hopefully at least 15 minutes or so, because then you start to see different things and it’s good for your concentration.  That’s a pretty bad explanation I think.

    I stomped through as many different exhibits as I could looking at neat stuff, went and found the group in time for lunch and made some new friends.  Including an American couple in the gift shop who told me this. and I said this about the gift shop.

  • Exploring the AGO

    I’m at the Art Gallery of Ontario, where did you know you’re not supposed to take photos? Me neither.  That arrow is pointing at the shadow of the guard giving me that news.  

    I knew I should have gone with my gut and made a TwitVid, it was gonna be so meta… I was watching a 1920s film of a photoshoot.  But that’s the thing about having a blog, sometimes you wanna just not document and save it for yourself.

    The top thing is a tiny travelling kinda-animatronic circus.  That’s what, if we were in the 1897, would have totally enthralled us… which is why sometimes the future concerns me.  


    Canadian architect Frank Gehry designed this, and I quite like this photo of mine.

  • AMAzing Olympic Apparel

    Come ON.  The stuff at the Bay this year is fantastic, I’ve said that, and then I found Park Life for Aritzia and AMAzing.  I’d wear it all, and “JodyJodylooook, he’s peeking out of my pocket”.

    The stuff just came out, this is hands down THE best Olympic clothing I can remember, click here and here to see and shop.  And click here to see how far we’ve come from 2008s gaudy awful mess of outfits.
