Most heterosexual women (and certain discerning gentlemen) have, at some point during their dating and romancing years, probably felt the desire to dress their boyfriends/life partners up like a doll.

Winter is coming. For those of us who balk at the bitter cold, an indoor workout is probably ideal. But if you’re sick of trudging around on a treadmill and you just don't get what's so fun about Zumba, consider something on the other side of the spectrum — ballet, perhaps?
Our weekly recap of the week’s news nuggets in Toronto will bring you up to date and add some fuel to your small-talk tank heading into the weekend.
