My awesome photographer and cottage-country correspondent Maha Rishi, left, posed with friends Simon (he’s French Canadian, in case you’re keeping score) and Brendan. You might know Brendan as his alter ego, Igby Lizzard. Mmmmmhhhmmm, girl: turns out Igby is man-butch by day. Credit: Maha Rishi
Just so the local politicians don’t get all the credit: Parry Sound–Muskoka MP Tony Clement came out to support Muskoka Pride with host (an incredibly stunny) Judy Virago. Really, though, I’m used to Judy as much more dragalicious makeup and getup; this down-tempo Katy Perry look is just breathtaking. What a beaut. Credit: Maha Rishi
We went hunting for normies at the Woody’s Best Chest Contest, and we found really cute ones. First up is Ryan. Doesn’t he remind you of an ’80s TV heartthrob? Let’s be honest here: who kicks this guy out of bed for eating crackers? Credit: Maha Rishi
It was nice to be back in Woody’s, normally more of a Rolyn Chambers domain. Feels like ages since I was there. Michael did me the honour of a very well-put-together casual outfit. He could also be the long lost son of Sissy Spacek, dontcha think? Credit: Maha Rishi
Jada Hudson co-hosted Best Chest with Brooke Lynn Hytes, and the two of them together were the perfect match. Brooke Lynn’s sequined gold number complements Jada’s blonde hair and sparkly top. Plus, don’t think I didn’t notice all that gold body shimmer. Credit: Maha Rishi
Could you just die for Brooke Lynn’s Studio 54–era outfit at Best Chest? I love, love, loved it. I’m sorta getting over this nouveau queen thing where everyone wants to look like Beyoncé. Bring me up-to-date kitsch like this any day. I can feel the Ice Capades moment in this already. Credit: Maha Rishi
Braeden is a breeder (you don’t get more normie than that), but since he’s the gayest straight guy in the Village, I think he and his for-real beard, Gelsy, deserve to be in here. You might recognize him from every half-naked ad ever in Fab and Xtra. If only every breeder was more like him, then the world would finally be in perfect harmony. Credit: Maha Rishi
Ivory Towers didn’t know what to do when Maha got up onstage to snap a pic, so she stood there, looking perfection. I love her stance, I love her hair, I love her suit. And this is the best ad for Crews & Tangos out there. She’s been really updating her makeup lately — I almost didn’t recognize her. Credit: Maha Rishi
