Is that a Bookmark in Your Pocket?








Toronto Public Library Foundation hosted its fifth annual Book Lover's Ball Thursday night at the Fairmont Royal York, complete with gala dinner, silent auction and a fashion show. Eight Canadian designers sent creative interpretations from their Spring collections inspired by popular fiction works like Twilight and Sherlock Holmes. The literary crowd lost its vocabulary when the Northbound Leather boys hit the runway, resorting to hoots and hollers. And who could blame them? Half naked men tend to put the "fun" back in fundraiser. It's no wonder this is one of the best events of the season.
