When I entered the solo show of Melanie Boreham at Hardware Gallery , I entered a forest. Suspended from different heights from the ceiling were forty bonsai-sized trees. These floating trees captivated me immediately because of their defiance of gravity, floating in a dream-like constellation.

Anyone with acne knows just how difficult it is to find makeup that conceals acne without making you break out. I recently tried out an airbrush makeup system to see if it would work well for my acne prone skin. For those who are unfamiliar with it, airbrush makeup is a system for applying makeup using a machine which sprays a fine mist of makeup onto your skin

The laser hair removal treatment is great for removing unsightly hair for both women and men. Thought once that only a woman could benefit from this pain free service, now it is one of the most researched topics of our generation. The treatment itself causes a little strip of bright light to penetrate deep into the skin and kills the hair from the core of the root.

Illustration: English crewelwork Crewelwork, or perhaps a more technically accurate phrase would be crewel embroidery, is a distinct technique of embroidery that has a long history in Europe, and in England can trace its history back to the construction of the Bayeux tapestry and beyond. Although crewelwork often used outlined compositional aids in order to guide the stitching, it could equally be constructed without any guides, or only basic and roughly drawn guides, allowing the crewel worker an element of creative freedom, adding details as they progressed.

Lots of talking and not so much looking on the slate tonight, starting with a couple of events at the U of T campus. The first, at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, carries the unwieldy title “Two conversations on the intersections of love and politics in contemporary art practices;” it's the first of a two part series, bearing the subtitle “Love is the motive force of every emancipatory politics.” I'm not entirely sure what that means, but the series is organized by Toronto force Adrian Blackwell and Christine Shaw, and brings a lot of great people for the conversation; tonight's roster included Power Plant curator Helena Reckitt and Kika Thorne , among others; part two, next week, will put AGO curator Michelle Jacques with artists Luis Jacob and Mike Hoolboom (and others) to discuss the equally mysterious, not terribly emotionally resonant (given the subject) title “Love is an event ignited by the distance between two polarities.” I can only guess it'll be better in execution.

I stopped by Grizzly Grizzly last weekend to see the paintings by Allison Reimus and talk with GG members Bruce Wilhelm and Dennis Matthews. The scrappy little coop gallery keeps chugging along with one serious show after another. Reimus’s show presents heavily patterned canvases in surprising and rather old-fashioned colors (purples and reds with greens; some atomic yellows and metallic coppers and grays.

In my further efforts to be a reprint resource for our diminished page space, I wanted to include the full text of my review of “Silent as Glue” at the Oakville Galleries, which was cut short to wedge onto the page in the paper today. That'll teach me to try to review two shows at once (the main attraction, Betty Goodwin, survived largely intact

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go blonde or fiery red, or perhaps you’re sick of your dull brown hair and fancy putting a few golden or auburn highlights through it. Most of us get fed up of our hair colour from time to time but these days you don’t have to put up with it.

When you are in the market for bathroom products, be it a new toothbrush, electric razor or hair dryer, you will be spoiled for choice with the huge array of products on offer from various companies.

George Siemens describes how networks disrupt traditional teaching : The old model, he writes, “works well when we can centralize both the content (curriculum) and the teacher. The model falls apart when we distribute content and extend the activities of the teacher to include multiple educator inputs and peer-driven learning. Simply: social and technological networks subvert the classroom-based role of the teacher.
