Wearing a top with a pussy bow collar is borderline hooker? I didn't Rob Ford was commenting in this site now.

Lily gets my chic vote. Love the printed belted maxi dress.

Is he really a garbageman? If not, that's a bit rude, isn't it?

Denton and Adam look like the bad guys in one of the Back to the Future movies :-) that's not a bad thing, most original people in today's set.

All of the girls are carrying a little bitty extra weight. LOL at Andrea's, "Oh. Ya, that's a tattoo, tattoo". She does win though. Sadface.

Wish the photography was a better. Think sartorialist, bill cunningham, or jac and Jill. Otherwise the idea is solid. All about execution isn't it. No shame in aiming higher.

Midnight Poutine (MTL) and Beyond Robson (VAN) have better layouts/photography, although much lesser, but Toronto has the best style

Nah, not a charmer. I just think fitness and health play a bigger role in style than is politically correct to say so.

Nancy is my favorite of this bunch.

If you think they're less attractive then just say so, douche-rocket. Don't try to dress it up as some pseudo-scientific bullshit concern about "health" or "fitness". You know jack shit about their health and fitness from these pictures. Amazing how easily people are convinced that there's one body type that fits all women, that it just so happens to be that one that came into vogue in the last 50 years, and that it just so happens to be a perfect indicator of both overall health and level of fitness. Also, if you think "health and fitness" play a bigger role in style than is "politically correct", you should administer medical treatment to models. Because nothing says style like those classic health-and-fitness standbys; eating disorders and hard drugs. God, if your ridiculous beliefs hold true than your head must be the size of a hazelnut and covered in botflies.

douche-rocket is:
a) hilarious
b) woefully missing from the official scrabble dictionary, and
c) a front runner for my favorite new expression of 2010!

No need for ad hominem remarks. Actually sorry, that is a funny word. Douche-rocket! Douchebag is so last year.

PS: Is voluntourism as fun as they say it is?

1) I don't think of health and fitness as overly scientific. I just try and follow Canada's food guide and exercise to my peak 5-6 times a week. I'll be the first to admit that I would like to improve my health and fitness. I would say I am healthy, but there is always room for improvement.

2) A single picture is not a great measure of health and fitness, but it is not without some value. Body Fat % is an important indicator of health. It is unhealthy to be overweight, just as it is unhealthy to be underweight. We do know that abdominal fat is the worst, which may be the reason men live on average less than women (because men carry more of their fat reserves here).

3)I didn't know eating disorders and the use of hard drugs were used by all models. I thought that was a few bad apples.

All of them? The ones in the 3rd and 4th pics maybe, but the others look pretty slim.

Overall, best Street Style in a very long time. At last, people that don't look like they rolled out of bed and just grabbed something off the floor.

Good Street Style. Nice to see some evening shots/outfits thrown into the mix.

Yes, "douche-rocket" FTW! Love it!

Ron, you're delusional. Shut up and go back to the gym. I imagine you as the guy who grunts, throws barbells around, and tries to chat up everyone within a 50 ft radius. Gawd, I hate the Rons of the world. My point is, these women look great, and don't look overweight in the slightest! #3's legs... hello!!!

Great SS! Looking forward to the next one.

Ron, you're delusional. Shut up and/or go back to the gym. I picture you as the annoying guy who grunts, throws barbells around, and tries to chat up anyone within a 50 ft radius who will dare make eye contact with you. My point is, these women look great, and not the slightest "bitty" (idiot!) overweight. #3's legs... holy crap! Amazing!

Great SS! Looking forward to the next one.

If you're going to be picky about weight, why only attack the women? The 3 men in this post don't exactly look like they live in the gym.

(For the record, I personally don't find anything wrong with ANY of the bodies on this post)

Dude, you just totally stole that exact line from some other poster on today's Morning Brew Comment Section!

Terry is the world's most stylin' garbageman.

Good bunch this week! The proliferation of flip-flops kinda saddens me, though...but I guess half the people WERE at the beach. Which makes sense.

I want to be best friends with Tara and Terry.

This is one of the best Street Styles in a while, good work!
