Toronto Pride 2007 - Dyke Guide!



Hello lovlies!

So it is that time again! Booty shorts, sprakles and sunglasses!! YAY! That's right kids....PRIDE!

http://www.pridetoronto.com

I am aware that lesbian representation, in the Toronto partying scence is quite invisible and lacks the quality of FUN! So, I thought I would be helpful and make some suggestions for all the ladies!

So after my research was complete, this is what I have compiled as my list of suggestions. MEOW:

1) PLEASURE PALACE: MORE THAN PUSSY

Tickets $20 (sliding scale available)

4) Big Primpin (yummy Queen St. Dykes!)

Since 2005. Big Primpin has produced a pride event for hip-hop homos and their fashionable friends. Get Busted is an occasion where conversation and cruising are
just as important as the sweaty, busy dance floor. This
year Big Primpin is taking over the Drake Hotel, resulting in a three floor queer rap extravaganza. The three floors include the Underground, Lounge and Sky yard.
Saturday June 23
9pm
The Drake Hotel
