Get Real CafeIt's time to catch up on a number of Deadpool sightings from the past few weeks. On Ossington, brunch and vegetarian fave Get Real Cafe has become the latest casualty on the block between Argyle and Foxley. Following in the footsteps of the recently closed Le Bar a Soupe, Get Real either couldn't cope with a 30% rent increase demanded by their landlord OR were behind in their rent. Either way, they'll be missed and the street is down a lunch option (although Pizzeria Libretto recently started offering lunch service so maybe everything evens out).

On King West near Tecumseth an old industrial building is being restored into a new bar/restaurant called The Garrison. Wait, didn't that just open on Dundas West?

Toronto Fashion WeekThe latest edition of Toronto Fashion Week officially ended this weekend; and today we've made our final post. On Friday night the runway closed with a benefit show for the Stephen Lewis Foundation called Dare to Wear Love. It was one of the best shows of the week and featured looks from 25 Canadian designers, many of whom did not unveil their own collections earlier in the week. Olivia Chow (above), MTV's Jessi Cruickshank and Stacie Mckenzie were some of the models. Watch a video and check out all the photos from the show.

Gotstyle Toronto Fashion WeekIt was the final day of LG Fashion Week. A trio of ex Project Runway contestants hit the stage, along with local celebrities like Jian Gomeshi, Ben Mulroney and Nico Archambault. And despite all the women's fashion it was a day for the guys who came dressed in pinstripes, camping gear and, in many cases, not much at all.

All videos are up on our Vimeo channel and all posts, photos and videos can be found in our special Toronto Fashion Week section. Here's a roundup of what to check out from Day 5:

Day 4 of Toronto Fashion Week was a study in contradictions as designs featuring shiny silver, bright white, neon green and purple pastels made an appearance on the runway. Best was NADA's Matrix inspired evening wear (my words, not her's) and Evan Biddell's futuristic look at what Usain Bolt might be wearing at the 2020 Olympics.
