Over 11 days from May 23 to June 2, the Inside Out Toronto LGBT Film Festival will offer a cornucopia of 175 films from around the world that celebrate and spotlight the stories and issues of the LGBT community.

Winter is coming again to Toronto. "Game of Thrones: The Exhibition" has kicked off its world tour in Toronto at the Design Exchange, running until March 16.

The interactive exhibition brings to life the world of Westeros, the setting of the immensely popular HBO fantasy series, which is adapted from George R.R. Martin's beloved novels. Not surprisingly, all 22,000 free tickets are sold out, but there will be a rush line on all show dates.

On April 1st, Nicholas Hoare's bookstore on Front Street will close its doors, following the shuttering of his two stores in Montreal and Ottawa last year. After 40 years, the nearly 70-year-old bookseller is retiring.

Bon Jovi's "Because We Can World Tour" kicked off earlier this week and stopped by the Air Canada Centre for a two night stand starting last night. It's the American rock band's 15th outing and marks the first time they're starting a tour before putting out new music. Their new disc, "What About Now," is out March 12.

Toronto is one of the best places to find a gig as an extra in a movie or TV show. From customers or staff in a restaurant, pedestrians on a street, onlookers at a crime scene, or even zombies in an apocalypse, Toronto offers plenty of opportunity for those not seeking a starring role. Background actors help add authenticity to a scene. While they never get the fame nor get to speak - beyond miming fake dialogue like "rhubarb, cauliflower, and cabbage" - those that do the work love it, because of its unpredictable nature and the opportunity to learn from industry pros and to network.

A dominatrix could be in order for those in Toronto looking for a Valentine's experience that's 50 shades hotter than a candle-lit dinner. For Mistress Kayla, there's romance in submission. "Lots of couples do domination together. I've seen a few couples myself and it's always fun," says the 26-year-old femdomme (female dominatrix).

"So many women ask me, 'So I want to submit to my (partner) but I don't know how to bring it up without freaking him out. How do I make him feel comfortable with this?' They want to do it because they want to experience different feelings."
