Cootie Catching in the age of Social Distancing
It’s week 8 of the Covid-19 aka. Coronavirus pandemic, and we’re all getting stir crazy AF. But despite our fears, and our anxiety, and the looming death toll ticker crawling across our television screens and twitter timelines, we, as humans, seem to have found coping mechanisms in the simplest of forms, from baking (if you can find flour or yeast), to arts and crafts, to taking up a new language or skill (shoutout to Duolingo for making Klingon and High Valyrian available… seriously). Above all, we’ve found comfort by taking long quiet strolls down memory lane, reminiscing about the good old days when we could share gossip and laughs over…

Nawmean?! (Dear Toronto Mans)
It’s no secret that Toronto has long been touted as the most culturally diverse city in the world (statistically speaking), and if you’ve never been here, just check out the crowd at one of our Raptor’s games, or try to find a beloved restaurant serving up your favourite obscure foreign delicacy (I can almost guarantee you will) – Nawmean?! But recently, we’ve been hearing a lot of controversial takes on social media surrounding ‘Toronto Mans’ and their slang. Like, what even is Toronto slang? Who are the Mandem? Is Ting a noun or a beverage? Who’s allowed to say what? Are you dumb? And, the doozie, is Drake appropriating West-Indian culture?! …

Issa Mitzvah – Drake Bar Mitzvah Remix
Last month we celebrated Chase, my eldest son’s Bar Mitzvah downtown Toronto at Airship 37. I promised Chase that I wasn’t going to embarrass him with any naked bathtub pictures or videos during the slideshow (these days I’m considered the Queen of cringey, aka. typical embarrassing Jewish mom). That being said, I did not promise not to rap in front of all his friends in an epic (in my humble opinion), live, Drake rock cover. Whoops?!? (Seriously though… he should know me by now). Of course, Chase (and every other 13 year old in Toronto, or anywhere) is a HUUUGE Drizzy fan (and especially so being Blewish himself and hailing…

Be Careful with Weed – A Cardi B Parody
It’s been just over 3 months now since Cannabis was legalized in Canada, and boy has it been an interesting trip. On the surface, it was a huge win for both (the) man and plant kind, but for any rational person with half of a brain, the big government ganja game (of monopoly) has left a bad taste in our collective mouth. If you’re wondering why, I wrote a piece for Addicted Magazine back on Weed-Day outlining some of my concerns. So how have things unfolded since October 17th? Well, aside from nation-wide shortages (leading to medicinal patients having limited access) during a months long postal strike, new and harsher…

Batty On The Counter: A Music Video by Gin & Jewlz
It is with great excitement and even greater anxiety that we present to you, our first attempt at a music video (spoof). Please don’t take it too seriously. Batty On The Counter is a body positive homage to selfie culture, a brazilian butt lift epidemic, and just a tribute and reminder to all babes, of all shapes and sizes, to rock what our mommas gave us… even if we can’t afford the plastic surgery or botox injections that we shouldn’t even feel so pressured to get in the first place but since everyone else is doing it now you’re the only one left looking for the perfect snapchat filter to…
