Wearing that Chung Shi shoe

I just went out to visit Foot Solutions on Mount Pleasant Road in Toronto (http://www.footsolutions.com/leaside-toronto) after reading a past article here on the site: http://loveintoronto.com/node/183. There were a few questions that I needed to know:

  • Reading about that ‘bar’ in the middle of the Chung Shi, I wanted to know if the shoe was comfortable

Island Love Charms

By: Rheba Estante

Ever since my Valentine’s Day op-ed on psychic love and predictions several people have asked me about love charms to draw their true love to them. My answer is … NO … there is no such thing as a Harry Potter magic bullet object to act like the genie in Aladdin’s lamp for your love life. You alone create your destiny within the context of reality, living in the moment, and good old fashioned trust in Divine providence. Mind you there is a Roman Catholic Novena Prayer made specifically for singles seeking to be united with the “one”. (If you are interested send an email to me at Aralar@loveintoronto.com and I’ll send it to you free of charge with instructions. If you are Catholic also you will know how novenas work)

Top 5 Summer Selections for Men & Women

Fashion Faire
By Paul Livingston

It’s that time of year again. The sun is shining, the air is sticky, the weather is hot.

It is my personal theory that in the summer, more than any other season, there are an increasing number of people who are single and on the hunt for their summer fling.

We’ve all heard the sayings: “Love is in the air,” “Spring Fever,” and “Summer sex.”

This leads me to draw several simple conclusions. One: “summer singles,” as I call them, will be out and about, strutting their stuff around Toronto’s hot spots.   If so fact so, there will be plenty of opportunities to see and be seen and eventually hook up for a date sometime during the heat wave. And if so fact so, that means you’re going to have to look your best—as much as possible.
