Gun Control – Volume 1

After their old band Philociraptor disbanded, Steve Mann and Justin Penney immediately formed the new project Gun Control. Why, you may ask, so quickly afterwards? Because, as two thirds of the Vancouver-based lo-fi poppers claim, Gun Control is just a cool name.

Music Profile | Louise Burns

Despite appearing in the new Beaches remake as a nightclub pianist playing behind Frozen-favourite Idina Menzel, Louise Burns isn't racking up any credit for her acting skills on IMDB. That's even more tragic once you factor in another current onscreen role, fending off flying ghost sharks and snipping off her own five-foot tongue in a music video for "Storms," the first single from her Young Mopes LP.

Revel and Riot: Rainbow Mountain Hoodie

One of the most recognizable emblems of the LGBTQ community is the rainbow. Whether you’re a member of the community, just visiting for the weekend or an ally, you can wear Revel and Riot’s Rainbow Mountain Hoodie with pride. From Montreal, Revel and Riot do good work like raising awareness for LGBTQ issues, which you would think wouldn’t be necessary in 2017 but, you know, the world sucks.

Lacoste: Women’s Stripe Sweatshirt Dress

Anyone for tennis? Jokes! It’s winter. But you can look like you’re up for tennis or whatever people do when they wear Lacoste. This Stripe Sweatshirt Dress is perfect for winter with a pair of tights or in the summer without tights. Unless you want to wear tights in the summer like you did when you were a 16-year-old goth who was super into Marilyn Manson and not smiling. We all did that. Right?

Look Human: Notorious RGB Pop Art Pattern Poster

America has just recently found itself in the midst of a tiny-handed orange garbage fire, but don't worry. There is one beacon of hope now that the Obama administration has ended: Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The reigning queen of the US Supreme Court is not abandoning her post anytime soon. She may even be immortal because no one balls as hard as RGB. She’s known to imbibe then fall asleep during important events like the State of the Union.

Feed: Rosa Clutch

If you want to do something good this season that also results in a stylish endeavor, get the Rosa Clutch from Feed. When you purchase this clutch, you can cross off the “something good” from your list because it provides 50 school meals for kids in need. Then you can cross off the “stylish endeavor” part because you get a nice clutch that goes with everything. Mega win/win.

The Gaze | Cooper Cole Gallery

Perhaps the street-art focused Show And Tell Gallery founded and directed by Simon Cole in Toronto rings a bell. If you haven't checked out Cooper Cole Gallery on Dupont Street since its opening, you should put that on your to-do list. Also founded and directed by Simon Cole, Cooper Cole is, in fact, somewhat of a rebrand of his previous gallery concept.
