19th Annual Beaches Jazz Festival Is Coming!!
July 15th, 2007 by Toronto Reports
Get ready, Toronto! The festive Beaches Jazz Festival is about to hit the city starting July 20 up to the 29th, 2007. This annual gathering of musician and music lovers (dancers and food lovers, as well) gets better and better everytime.
The festivity starts at the historic Distillery District dubbed the PartiGras on July 20-22, 2007. Deanna Bogert would be there to close the party on the last day of partying at the Distillery District.
Part 2 of the festival is a TD Canada Trust sponsored Workshop and Lecture series to be held at the Mennonite New Life Centre of Toronto. The lineup of workshop series to be conducted by different lecturers are Ladies Night On The Dance Floor, Jazz On Radio and a lot more. Check out their schedule by visiting the Workshop And Lecture site.
From July 26 - 28, StreetFest, the original Toronto Jazz festival event will be celebrated. Visitors from all over Canada and the world have constantly visited this big event along the beaches area to listen and dance to the live music of jazz, R&B and soul - which were the original music celebrated by this event. But thru the years other kinds of music like Flamenco, latin, hip, folk, samba and so many others are being played in the festival. The stretch of Queen st. East from Coxwell to Victoria Park would be close to traffic to make way for this annual event.
MainStage At The Kew Gardens happens from the 28-29 of July. Guest performers are featured live on stage at the Kew Gardens from 11 am to 6 pm playing mostly jazz and latin music. Visit their site for the schedule of performances.
So, Toronto - get ready to party! Entrance to all the festivities is free and children of all ages (from 1 to 100) are most welcome.
A friendly advice, though - please don’t drink and drive.

Nudist Lifestyle About Relaxation, Not Sex
June 28th, 2007 by Toronto Reports
(From Canadian Press)
There is a strawberry social at the club on the weekend, but the last thing 18-year-old Ayesha Mitchell is worried about is what to wear. That’s because the dress code is absolutely nothing.
“People who have never been to any nudist parks feel like it’s one big sex party, but it’s not like that at all.”
Ayesha Mitchell, Naturist
“We’re just going to sit around and eat strawberries and have a great time,” says Mitchell. “And, yes, we will all be pretty much naked.”
Going to parties in the nude is nothing new for this young naturist, who lives and spends much of her time on Bare Oaks, a family-oriented nudist park north of Toronto, where people are encouraged to let everything hang out as they camp, play sports and socialize.
“People who have never been to any nudist parks feel like it’s one big sex party, but it’s not like that at all,” says Mitchell. “It’s a chosen lifestyle of relaxation and it works for most people.”
