News * New

hi, I'm Rachel (PR freelancer, ex-fashion school student and founder of TSF.com). I started the blog way back in 2005 (before there was barely anything about Toronto fashion online) and spent many really fun years documenting fashion and street fashion in Toronto!

I recently had my second baby boy and my days of fashion parties, designer shows and frivolous shopping are but a happy memory. I still work a little on the blog, do other freelance writing and PR when I can!

So, please don't feel offended if I haven't responded to your E-mail, party invite or store opening. I do pass invites along to other bloggers though and we try to cover what we can!

Thanks for reading!

Sodom Party Brings Out DIY Divas for Dancing & Debauchery

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

The Party’s Still Pumpin’ In the Village:

Every third Saturday of the month, the city of Sodom is resurrected in all of its glamour, sins and vice at Goodhandy’s on Church St., combining gay culture with a dose of Studio 54 in downtown Toronto.

Each party comes with a theme chosen by promoter Mitchel Raphael, and the crowd arrives in full regalia to indulge in a night of dancing and debauchery. Last weekend, was a double-whammy. Not only was the theme “Runway,” but it was also the coronation of Miss. Ivory Tower as the new Queen of Sodom. Needless to say, the fashion was seemingly endless as partygoers were given the dress code of haute couture meets DIY.
