Directed by Morgan “Super Size Me” Spurlock and produced by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, this comic documentary on man-grooming – including amazing beardsmen, handlebar ‘taches and more than a sprinkling of manscaping - debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival and promises more than a few laughs.

Our National Sexual Emergency

A heat wave powered on just prior to the long weekend. It’s hot around here, like mid-summer, baking in a stew of low-level smog and sweat. Ottawa, the unsexiest of the unsexy, mumbles to itself about something uncomfortable stirring at the base of that clock tower shaft on the Hill – some conversation building in the left chamber.

And here we are now, having a national discussion about sex.

We’re all about multifaceted artists, and singer-songwriter, Sophia Danai, is the latest on our radar. We first had the chance to see her perform a live acoustic set at last spring’s ION POP SHOP, and not only did she win our hearts with her charm, beauty, timeless sound and eclectic collection of songs—which may we add, include an Electone organ—but Danai also produces an online magazine called Wishing Well. Showcasing what inspires her, each issue coincides with a newly released song.
