Another Toronto Pride Surprise: Me to We!

On Pride Sunday in Toronto, I happened to be wearing a new favorite piece of clothing: a t-shirt from Me to We [Responsible Style]:

Me to We [Responsible Style] produces ethical clothing for the socially conscious consumer. Not only are their garments ethically produced from organic cotton and bamboo, but a whopping 50% of their profits go to their charity partner, Free the Children.

And the shirt? Wonderfully soft, lovely color, and a fantastic fit, even for somewhat-freakishly-long-torsoed me. There are many other tempting styles on the website; I'll be making another order soon. They also do custom printing.

The delightful surprise? Some of the staff of Free the Children were out enjoying the festivities, and recognized my shirt! A great way to meet some very nice people. Here I am with Elysia Blake, Lauren Roach, Megan Barton and Jon Macindoe:


A pleasure to meet some of the people behind a great organization.

Toronto Pride: A Real Lesbian Hero!

I ran across this girl in a beer garden on Pride Sunday in Toronto:


Her name is Poonam, and yes, her T-shirt does say "G.I. Julia, Real Lesbian Hero"! A friend of hers had the shirts custom-made for a fund raiser where they were all cheering on their friend Julia:


Mmmm hmmm! She does look like a Lesbian Hero, doesn't she? Dani Campbell ain't got nothing on that gal!

Needless to say, I need to get my hands on one of these shirts. More on this story as it develops.
