Photo by John Papamarko.

Here’s a photo of Hampton Catlin and me at his Mad Men-themed party on Saturday. Between the way we’re dressed and the graininess of the photo, it looks as if a hidden camera is catching us conducting some kind of sordid business deal. I love it!

Sam Javanrouh’s Timelapse Video of the Yonge-Dundas Scramble Crossing


Scramble from Sam Javanrouh on Vimeo.

Last week, I wrote about the new scramble crossing at the corner of Yonge and Dundas.

Here’s a short YouTube video on Don La Fontaine:

The Preferred Costume for Halloween 2008

Since this Hallowe’en takes place less than a week before the U.S. presidential elections and women’s costumes have been getting skimpier over the years, may I suggest this Sarah Palin bikini costume for you trick or treaters?
