Church Street's Flatirons offers Mermen and more

The clock is ticking toward Christmas. But don’t despair if you haven’t finished your shopping: Fab magazine’s Drew Rowsome is here to help.

Rowsome went to campy gaybourhood shop Flatirons in Toronto to get some gift ideas from “Sandra Claus.” Among her suggestions: Mermen, Michelle DuBarrydolls and Lampe Bergers (check them out in the video).

Take a look at our video below. It may not be what you are looking for, but it might put you in the shopping mood.

On occasion, the number of editors and other staff who contribute to a story gets a little unwieldy to give a byline to everyone. That’s when we use “Xtra Staff” in place of the usual contributor info. If you would like more information on who contributed to a particular story, please contact us here.
