XTRA! Magazine's AnnualGay Life & Style Show
November 9 to 11, 2001

| The Second Annual Gay Life & Style Show at the Toronto Convention Centre. There were hundreds of booths, featuring everything including leather, porn, psychics, sports, alcohol, investment services, banks, food, travel, pet care, and even cemeteries. |
Xtra Magazine, host of the show, kindly gave us one of their free "community group" spots for the second year in a row. |
The convention hall was warmer this year than last, so Peter and Richard decided to undress a bit for the show. The painting is a wonderful piece by Daryl Vocat, one of the TNT!MEN board members. |

| That's Richard, one of TNT!MEN's long term board members. Currently he's editing the newsletter, and serving as "Facilitator", our egalitarian title for what others might call a President. |
It was often quite busy at the booth, but during the sexy fashion shows, everyone would disappear for a time. Peter and Richard were the first men to march naked in Toronto's Gay Pride parade back in 1996. |
The man in the middle is Barry, one of the many founders of TNT!MEN, and frequent volunteer. Barry kept the TNT!MEN phoneline up to date for about two years, back when the group was first getting started. |

| Peter is also one of the founders of TNT!MEN. While he isn't a board member, he has been the one organising our Pride Day and Life&Style show booths for many years. |
We decorated our booth with selected enlargements from my photo collection. They attracted a fair bit of attention, as you might expect. |
Zelda, owner and mascot of her extremely popular restaurant in the heart of the gay village, stopped by to say hello. She always makes a statement, wherever she goes. Usually a vulgar one. :-) |
