What are you and your love doing this Valentine’s Day?

What if you could dress like Jesus for a day and taste the admiration of a third of our world’s population? I want to hear from our ethnic and female readers; how’s about donning a wreath of thorns and having old folks lay palm fibers in your path while riding on the sweet ass of a good friend willing to walk on all fours? Surrounded by the 23 952 ticket bearers dressed up at Toronto’s Anime North, we all become critic, admirer and hypocrite; all it takes is the right (or wrong) costume.
Walking down Spadina just past the Popeyes is One Hour Cafe. You’ve no doubt missed it dozens of times, disguised by street graffiti and wood that seems to hide in the shadows. For the adventurous few that inspect this nook, there’s a little tea shop offering a whole new experience in Chinatown.
