On Wednesday night, Bloor Street threw it’s massive annual fundraising effort for the Canadian Foundation for Aids Research (CANFAR). To reach their $400,000 goal, Bloor Street Entertains turns boutiques all over Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood in pop-up restos catered by the city’s top chefs. Marc Thuet, Jamie Kennedy and Blu’s Massimo Collavani were just a few of the foodie names who cooked menus at venues normally known for dishing out luxe–Tiffany & Co., Eleven, George C., Holt Renfrew, Teatro Verde and Cartier among them. After dinner, the party moved over to the Royal Ontario Museum where the guest list included designers Sunny Fong, Jeremy Laing, Philip Sparks and Nada Shepherd, Canadian fashion royals Joe Mimran and Kimberley Newport-Mimran (who were also the event’s co-chairs), and sea of smartly dressed socials who cut a rug and tried to outbid each other in the silent auction.

There’s no better way to celebrate the slightly warmer weather than with the reopening of two of our favourite high-enders on Bloor Street. First off was Gucci (130 Bloor St. W., 416-963-5127), where revellers sipped champagne cocktails and mingled among the mass amounts of haute accessories. (We couldn’t get over the flats made for the tiniest of tots). The new store is all luxe.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers gets elemental for Hugo Boss

mar09hugo1_sm

I admit that I do not watch The Tudors. (I’m under a lot of pressure to watch The Wire, okay?) However, one thing I do know about star Jonathan Rhys Meyers is that he is very, very attractive. This is a surprise to no one, least of all Hugo Boss who have made him the face of their new men’s fragrance, Hugo Element.

You’ve probably seen the ad floating around, but we have some extra shots from the TV commercial and one from the launch last year at the London Eye. It’s our Valentine’s Day gift to you, dear reader. Enjoy, after the jump.
