A coupla house notes:
* There will be more unobtrusive documentary filming tonight. One side of the room will be designated a no-filming zone.
* We’re trying something fun tonight, so if you’re sitting in the first row, you may get a wee bit splashed.
See you soon!

Little Girl Lost
Last night was TKS’ final Session of the year and despite the chill from The Snow Queen, we heated up The Great Hall fairly well.
Sid Licious, in her TKS debut, introduced herself as Gerda, lost little girl in the woods. Soon to be helped by Dolores del Fuego as The Raven, things didn’t turn out as well as they do in the original Hans Christian Anderson tale. Poisonne as The Snow Queen continued her evil reign, enslaving the others in rope {lovingly styled by JP Robichaud} and chain.
Massive props to Pavlov’s Dogs Handbell Ensemble, who helped us ring out the old year, prepping us for the new. They ring around town, so look ‘em up if you’d like to see them again.
Congrats to our winner of the book raffle, and many, many thanks to those who brought goods for The Daily Bread Food Bank. Sharing our wealth is important in this season of the cold. Kisses to Blonde Moxie Makeup for icing up our Snow Queen.
Thanks to all who helped strike the room; it makes things a lot easier, especially when I’m in a corsette.
Thank you to all who came and shared in our farewell to 2011. We look forward to seeing you again in the new year, with more deliciousness. We can’t wait to present you with the TKS version of The Seven Deadly Sins.
Photos, Playlist and Drawings {send ‘em our way} to come in the following posts throughout the week.
Happy Holidays. Be safe, be generous in spirit, and most of all, be debaucherous.
♥
ps. This can help you spread the debauchery. Just sayin’…

On December 1st, TKS is proud to present a Toronto screening of Miss Representation, a documentary that studies women’s portrayal in the media, both in front and behind the camera.
“The film Miss Representation exposes how American youth are being sold the concept that women and girls’ value lies in their youth, beauty and sexuality. It’s time to break that cycle of mistruths.”
A panel discussion and Q&A will follow after the screening. Panelists include Sonya JF Barnett, Madame of The Keyhole Sessions and Co-founder of SlutWalk Toronto; and Stacey May Fowles, co-editor of She’s Shameless: women write about growing up, rocking out and fighting back, former publisher of Shameless Magazine and current writer for The Walrus. Third panelist to be confirmed.
Advance Tickets available at EventBrite.
$10.
A few tickets will be made available at the Box Office, but best chances for seating are via advance tickets.
Facebook Invite here. Please share this event with all in your circles. Bring yourselves, your friends, your partners, your kids {great for teens!}. An important film not to be missed.
