Your Toronto Summer Oasis is Much Closer Than You Realize

With the summer months just around the corner, I am already dreaming of days in the sun and the ways which I will be able to relax amid a busy schedule. Of course there’s spa treatments, movie dates and nights out at the best restaurants – but, what about an oasis getaway that’s much closer than you realize right in the heart of Toronto? Yes. I’ve got the inside scoop of where and how you can unwind in the best way possible this Pride month and all summer long!

5 Ways to Celebrate Pride in Toronto

As Julio packs his half of the luggage upstairs before we leave for Toronto this weekend for Pride celebrations in partnership with Destination Toronto, I am sitting at our dinning room table looking at my nails and some videos we’ve been teasing of our drag alter egos Anna & Esmeralda here and here. TBH I’m smiling because it feels like I am coming to understand a certain part of myself as a gay man that I never knew properly. I guess the timing couldn’t be any better since this weekend is a jam packed weekend of events, professional drag performances, the Pride Toronto parade and so much more. If you’re still on the fence on how you should celebrate or can support, here’s your answer!

Thank You For Making a Difference

Over the last almost ten years I have had the distinct pleasure of working with some of the best brands, people and institutions this province, country and world has to offer. Be it out of sheer admiration or on an official campaign, I have loved the LCBO for as long as I can remember. With the power to, for example, bring a small Canadian brand to a whole new level across the province and propel them into success and recognition, the institution that is the LCBO has the power to make real change. This Pride Month, I wanted to take a moment to thank them for everything they are doing to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and to share how your purchase can do so much this month thanks to their efforts!

Here’s All The Reasons You Need

Pride Month is in full swing and with it some FABULOUS events are taking place. While all of you are still processing the announcement of my new drag persona Anna a Hole Smith, I guess it’s important to note that I’m by no means booking gigs any time soon. I would much rather let the professionals entertain us all while Julio & I work towards our drag fantasy. Guess it’s perfect timing to tell you about Absolut Empire’s Ball Finale and how you can still score tickets for one of the best drag events of the month this Saturday in Toronto!
