A Nigh With Ivana Santilli + The Only Sound w/ guest Stuart Matthewman From The Legendary Sade

October 31, 2013.Reading time 2 minutes.

Last Friday I attented an amazing concert from one of my favorite Canadian Artist Ivana Santilli. I have been a fan of her since my high school days so when I heard that she was having an Intimate Live show at Ballet Lounge located on Ossington Street… I could not miss it!! I’m soo glad I went as it was a full house…everyone was grooving to her music as she sang most of my favorite songs including her new single Lovers Love To Rock to a couple songs from Sade. Plus, I got to meet one of Sade‘s band member Stuart Matthewman. Matthewman can be heard on saxophone, guitar, keyboards…remember Smooth Operator and Sweetest Taboo by Sade. He has appeared on all of Sade’s albums: Diamond Life, Promise, Stronger Than Pride, Love Deluxe, and Best of Sade, all of which went triple platinum in the U.S. and have totaled sales over 40 million albums worldwide. Take a look at a few pictures of that night (me with Ivana Santilli and Stuart Mattewman), Sade with Stuart Matthewman and a TBT music video Sun + Moon = Tomorrow below.

If you were mine

Madonna’s Hard Candy Fitness Opens Its Doors Today in Toronto

October 31, 2013.Reading time 1 minute.

Madonna is bringing one of her high-end fitness centres to Toronto. Hard Candy Fitness will open today October 31 in the gargantuan Aura condo building at Yonge and Gerrard. It will have all the usual high-end amenities: pounding music, steam rooms, juice bar and rooftop patio. The big sell, however, are workouts based on Madonna’s own rigorous anti-aging regime, developed by her personal trainer, Nicole Winhoffer. A promo video suggests a few months of hanging in cocoon-like hammocks, sliding around on towels, and swinging on “red velvet” seat belts is all it takes to net the superstar’s sinewy guns and a muscled legs. We can’t wait to try it!! Hard Candy Fitness hashtags: #HarderisBetter #AddictedtoSweat #NoSweatNoCandy #Toronto Inspired by torontolife.
