Joining the company's other publication, In Toronto magazine, this step expands the brand's coverage and presence in the market, making the Mint Media Group one of the largest LGBT magazine publishing companies in Canada.<br /><br />Brett Taylor, Outlooks' former publisher, will remain editor in chief. He is excited about the magazine's future. "Outlooks has had a strong influence on the LGBT community since it published its first issue in March of 1997. This was a natural progression to accelerate Outlooks to the next level. The Mint Media group has the resources and experience to uncover its full potential"<br /><br />Patricia Salib, president of the Mint Media Group and publisher of both<br />magazines, comments: "We are truly excited and expect to see great results as In Toronto and Outlooks continue to grow. With Brett Taylor on board, we are looking forward to delivering the same promise of quality content that speaks volumes to its readers. Brett Taylor's years of experience will be a strong addition to our team." Look for Outlooks to re-launch later this spring with a new design and a new luxury focus.<br /><br />Outlooks and In Toronto will maintain separate identities and editorial<br />visions but the synergy of Canada 's two largest LGBT lifestyle Magazines is significant, allowing the Mint Media Group to define and attract new opportunities for both advertisers and the community. With its expertise in LGBT media planning and marketing in more than 36 cities in North America, combined with the local and national media brands of In Toronto and Outlooks, the Mint Media Group can now serve the community with the highest level of resources, unparalleled in the country.<br /><br />About Outlooks:<br /><br />Outlooks magazine has a proud history of providing positive, thoughtful<br />editorial and information to the LGBT community in Canada. The publication first appeared in March 1997 as a lifestyle magazine directed primarily at a gay audience. Since that time, the publication has grown to become a household name in the LGBT community. Outlooks focuses on all aspects of gay lifestyle including travel, fashion, arts and entertainment, politics, and important social issues of the day.

Be sure to catch this flamboyantly fun pop-star as he co-headlines with indie rock band PS I Love You on their upcoming tour. Email your name to contest@outlooks.ca for the chance to win a pair of tickets to their March 23 show at the Republic!<br /></span> <br />Diamond Rings isn’t showing any signs of slowing down in 2011 after a year that saw him go from curiosity to pop-star in just a few months. In December he announced that he’d be supporting Robyn on her 2011 North America tour starting in January. Now Diamond Rings is pleased to announce that he’ll be sticking on the road through April on a co-headline tour with Canadian pals PS I Love You.<div class="show-description"> <p>Following head-turning performances at SXSW and CMJ last year, Diamond Rings has gained widespread critical praise since the release of his debut full-length Special Affections on October 25th on Secret City Records. With big US support from Pitchfork to the New York Times and NME nods, it’s clear Diamond Rings is ready to up the ante in 2011. He’s also been at the forefront of the radar in Canada, landing on the cover of national monthly Exclaim!, scoring the number 2 spot in the 6th annual hottest bands in Canada poll behind only Arcade Fire and ending the year on many best of 2010 lists including Eye Weekly and the Toronto Star. Since its release - the first single “Something Else” has been heating up the Canadian charts – being heard across the country with radio adds at such stations as the Edge (Toronto), LiVE 88 (Ottawa) and SONiC (Edmonton).</p> <p>Kingston, Ontario's PS I Love You will join Diamond Rings in support of their critically acclaimed debut, Meet Me At The Muster Station (Paper Bag Records). The album, currently #64 this week on the CMJ Top 200 college radio chart, has appeared on a number of 2010 year-end lists. Highlights include: Exclaim, Aux, The Coast, Consequence of Sound and individual critics lists at Toronto Star and Now Magazine. Exclaim named ...Muster Station it's #4 album of the year, and said:<br /><br />"It's hard to believe that the stunning Meet Me at the Muster Station is PS I Love You's debut. Arriving fully formed, this Kingston duo delivers its catchy hooks with brute force, pummelling listeners with fuzzy guitars and thundering rhythms. And even if you won't be able to sing along with frontman Paul Saulnier's strangled yelps, songs like "Facelove" and "2012" will be stuck in your head for weeks. Savage noise freak-outs have never sounded quite so palatable."</p> <p>These recent accolades add to the already glowing praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Village Voice, NME, Eye, Exclaim, Now, Toronto Star, The Fly, Gigwise, LA Weekly, SF Weekly, Portland Mercury, San Diego City Beat, The Stranger, Washington Post, Brooklyn Vegan, Consequence of Sound, PopMatters, Pop Tarts Suck Toasted, CMJ, Prefix, Treble, and KCRW.</p><p><span class="UIStory_Message">For more information on the show, pleas<span class="text_exposed_show">e visit <a href="http://www.unionevents.com/shows/view/2396/diamond-rings-and-ps-i-love-you" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span>www.unionevents.com</span></a></span></span></p><p><span class="UIStory_Message"><span class="text_exposed_show"><a href="http://www.unionevents.com/shows/view/2396/diamond-rings-and-ps-i-love-you" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span><br /></span></a></span></span></p></div><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o6IUKa25e80" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"></iframe>OUTLOOKS Magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12763525412538957985noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545380426339553841.post-61935210353579557022011-01-19T15:58:00.000-08:002011-01-19T16:13:16.611-08:00The 13th Annual Bill Brooks Prostate Cancer Benefit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.calgaryhealthtrust.ca/Page.aspx?pid=294"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu0NvWzrYkyS-jqq_Q4dEKPzZ4mGT0MFd5_FSJJbcxgsFO3Re6fh6SsxIcOeWBlnnaHhyaDE91s1vBGWbsvjxm3ZWtgNbSKuzJsvOXLrYObIsf4n4a7tzKs6C41jaoOYtIyNFHIhgEcJ8/s400/photo2070.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564050972844991138" border="0" /></a>The 13th Annual Bill Brooks Prostate Cancer Benefit - taking place Friday, January 21, 2011 at Hotel Arts - promises to be the biggest and best ever.<br /><br />Presented again this year by the Canada Safeway Foundation, funds raised at the must-attend event will support a variety of prostate cancer initiatives including research, education and treatment.<br /><br />And for the first time, Prostate Cancer Canada has stepped up to support the benefit in a substantial way by donating $500,000. These funds will be directed towards the establishment of a prostate tissue bank. Researchers will be using the tissue collected to look for genetic abnormalities in prostate cancer and to see if there is a pattern that can be used in diagnostic and treatment pathways. Prostate screening has led to great improvements in the ability to diagnose prostate cancer and identify those at high risk of developing cancer. Findings from the tissue bank will hopefully provide the ability to select cancers that need aggressive treatment, earlier, while being more conservative in managing the less aggressive cases. This tissue bank will also be made available to researchers from across Canada.<br /><br />Guests attending the 13th annual event can expect a fabulous evening which will include: savoury samplings from Hotel Arts’ culinary wizards; amazing auction items including the use of a villa in Greece, a private jet, stunning art items and more; dancing to the always popular Mocking Shadows; and surprises guaranteed to delight.<br /><br />Tickets are $275. Hotel Arts is located at 119 - 12th Avenue SW Calgary, AB.

With a night that showcased Hollywood's most talented stars, it was the family drama in the movie "The Kids Are All Right" and the musical high school tribulations in the television show "Glee" that earned some of the top recognition.<br /><br />"The Kids Are All Right" took home the award for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical, and the film's leading star Annette Bening was named winner of Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical. Co-star Julianne Moore was also nominated in the same category. The story of a lesbian couple, and the consequences they face when their sperm donor re-enters their family life, struck a chord with mainstream audiences and has been applauded by GLBT media.<br /><br />The TV series "Glee" has been showered with accolades, and the HFPA continued the acknowledgement with three Golden Globes - including both Actor and Actress nods for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television.<br /><br />Jane Lynch, winning for her portrayal of the ruthless and sarcastic cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, thanked her wife and children. Chris Colfer was visibly moved by his win and overcome with emotion. His character - Kurt Hummel - has become a role model for many gay and lesbian youth. Colfer acknowledged the importance of his role, dedicating his award "most importantly to all the amazing kids that watch our show and the kids that our show celebrates and are constantly told 'no' by people because of who they are....well, screw that, kids."<br /><br />"Glee" was also given the top prize for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical.<br /><br />The Red Carpet played host to starlets in fashion forward gowns and leading men in designer suits, all sparkling from the shine of millions of dollars worth of jewellery. Host Ricky Gervais took to the stage with his expected blend of celeb roasting and awkward boundary-pushing jokes, but kept the show moving between the various movie and TV star award presenters.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6TnUVsDmgf9vyYVJU43UGADyLi1q9Xk9PiO8RZei34bH54HaaTATK8iXGiNMKi5y2-ApxyueqQEkL5O1m_AqtNzuJrMg6QPO5fH0zeV3EujYoAURFGF3nk5qC08NGBziLvUSMXqZClk/s1600/golden-globe.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6TnUVsDmgf9vyYVJU43UGADyLi1q9Xk9PiO8RZei34bH54HaaTATK8iXGiNMKi5y2-ApxyueqQEkL5O1m_AqtNzuJrMg6QPO5fH0zeV3EujYoAURFGF3nk5qC08NGBziLvUSMXqZClk/s400/golden-globe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563093480408222818" border="0" /></a><br />For a complete list of winners, please visit <a href="http://www.goldenglobes.org/">www.goldenglobes.org</a>OUTLOOKS Magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12763525412538957985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545380426339553841.post-43971431795014024192010-12-31T15:24:00.000-08:002010-12-31T15:46:39.171-08:00Watch FAMILY TIME: 20 Years of LGBTQ Family History<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span> </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" >Check out the </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" >new short film <i>Family Time</i> -- chronicling 20 years of COLAGE and LGBTQ family movement history including outrageous talk show appearances, the stinging impact of the AIDS crisis, the state by state push for marriage equality and much more.<br /></span><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a href="http://www.colage.org/familytime"><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" >FAMILY TIME</span></a><br /><br /></div><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" >Whether you're new to COLAGE, want to brush up on the history of the LGBTQ family movement, or are looking for a conversation starter, <i>Family Time</i> provides a great way to introduce your friends and family to COLAGE and the incredible history LGBTQ families have made over the past 20 years.<br /><br />Beth Teper, the Executive Director of COLAGE, would like to recognize the progress they have achieved over the last twenty years that would not have been possible without people like you - your family and families like yours all over the country - who have shared your very real family stories and tirelessly advocated for equal rights and recognition.<br /><br />Last month, Time Magazine released a report showing that for the first time ever, a slim majority of Americans consider people with LGBTQ parents to be part of a "real" family.

For the fans.<br /><br />Written by Dave Cunningham<br /><br />Being a person with a great interest in science fiction, it should come as no surprise that I look forward all year to Calgary’s longest running science fiction, fantasy, and horror convention. Con-Version has been around for over a quarter of a century, and each year the convention has become bigger and better.<br /><br />October 15 through 17, 2010, Con-Version 26 was held at the Quality Inn in northeast Calgary. The venue made for an interesting change of pace from what many come to expect at any convention. By holding the convention within the hotel, the ambience seemed significantly more comfortable and intimate than a convention center or arena. The layout of the convention was slightly confusing at first (different events were held in different rooms on different floors), but everything was easily accessed without any frustrating lineups or other delays.<br /><br />What really made Con-Version 26 a success was the team of organizers who worked tirelessly throughout the year in planning and preparing for the show. Derek France, a head organizer of Con-Version 26, seemed as excited about the show as the fans that steadily flowed through the doors.<br /><br />“We’re all volunteers,” Derek stated in reference to the team of organizers behind the show, “Con-Version is a convention put on by the fans for the fans.” Rose Tanchyk, also an organizer, proved she was a big fan of science fiction and fantasy by coming to the convention in costume. Rose was dressed as Xena: Warrior Princess and shared that she had several other costumes at home, such as a Klingon costume of which she was very proud. Once I had the opportunity to see pictures of Rose in the Klingon costume, I can say that she has every reason to be proud.<br /><br />The events at Con-Version 26 were many, and there truly was something for everyone. A costume contest held on Saturday afternoon brought several costumed guests on to the stage. Many of the costumes were nothing short of amazing, such as an Iron Man (mark 1) costume and Bob from the television series Reboot. Even a gentleman dressed as Futurama’s Zap Brannigan made a hilarious appearance on the stage. Kudos to all the competitors in the costume contest, as the time and attention they put into their costumes was well received and appreciated by me and the rest of the audience.<br /><br />Several panel discussions occurred over the weekend which provided a variety of topics, such as the portrayal of women in Doctor Who and a panel about steampunk. Perhaps the most notable panel event in my experience at the show was one that taught and discussed how to survive in the event of a zombie outbreak. The instructors covered issues such as proper social behaviours in the event of zombie attack (i.e. whether to leave a person behind in order to ensure one’s own safety), which weapons are effective and which are too cumbersome (i.e. katana blades are actually a bad idea to keep handy while avoiding raiding zombies) and how to case a room or other area for possible escape routes (windows are our friends). The instructors maintained an air of seriousness to the point that I often wondered if they were serious about zombie survival or just playing the part for the sake of the audience.<br /><br />In addition to the obligatory panels and costume contest, there was also a game room that was open and available to guests non-stop throughout the two and a half days that Con-Version 26 was operating. The game room had at least two occupied tables at any time that I stopped by. The guests played board games such as Dungeons and Dragons, of which I regretfully admit I have no experience or knowledge in. However, the players all seemed to be enjoying themselves and at some points drew in onlookers who stood behind the players to watch.<br /><br />A movie room was available throughout the entire convention as well, and the projector was playing a different movie at every drop-in I made. There was always someone in the room to kick back and enjoy a show, and it was a great idea to include a room for guests to relax in the convention.<br /><br />The biggest draw to the show was undoubtedly the celebrity guests. Con-Version 26 brought a stunning collection of stars from Star Trek, including John DeLancie, Robert Picardo, Chase Masterson, Ethan Phillips, and Marina Sirtis. The guests arrived late Friday evening and treated us to a brief but enjoyable Q&A. The following two days, all guests provided autographs and photo opportunities for fans (for a small fee). All the guests seemed very personable and kind and took the time to speak with the fans, which made the experience of Con-Version 26 all the more enjoyable. Other guests, such as The 404s, a terrific comedy troupe that has been a welcomed guest at The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo for several years, and the band Heroincredible, were on hand to provide entertainment.<br /><br />If I were to pick my favourite event during Con-Version 26, it would be the slave auction. A clever way to earn money for charity, the slave auction was a simple and effective event. Volunteers agreed to donate an hour of their time as “slaves” to bidders (such as retrieving drinks, holding bags, amusing their high bidder with stories, etc). The auction was rather informal, with MC Mark (member of The 404s) acting as auctioneer. Bidders in the audience would simply shout out their bids until a high bidder was declared. Bids ranged from $20 to $200 and about $1250 was raised for charity during the auction. Celebrity guests Chase Masterson and John DeLancie also donated their time for the auction (though neither were present during the auction itself) and brought in $125 and $110 respectively. Oh, and good ol’ Zap Brannigan received a high bid of $30. All in all, the slave auction was a very enjoyable time for slaves and bidders alike, and a favourite of mine as I’m a sucker for a good cause.<br /><br />The only downside to Con-Version 26 was the fact that it had to end. Conventions for such entertainment genres as science fiction, fantasy and horror (not to mention comic books, television, and movies) are far and few between in Calgary, and so having to say goodbye for a year can be difficult. However, all the fans that supported Con-Version 26 are undoubtedly impatiently waiting for Con-Version 27. Not many details have been released as of yet, but I can share that Virginia Hey (of Farscape fame) has already been secured as a guest for 2011 which is very exciting! If you are interested in attending Con-Version 27, tickets for the entire event are already available at a cost of $50 for the first two-hundred guests. After that point, three-day passes will cost $60.

After three years since the release of their second studio album, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fancy Footwork</span>, jet setting, globetrotting, and embarking on an overall sensual conquest of planet Earth, Chromeo is back with album number three <span style="font-style: italic;"> Business Casual</span> set to be released in August and a tour playing Flames Central on Tuesday, August 10.<br /><br />For your chance to win tickets to their show, email contest@outlooks.ca and include "Chromeo Contest" in the subject. Please leave your name and contact phone number to enter.<br /><br />When: August 10 @ 9 pm<br />Where: Flames Central (219 - 8th Avenue SW, Calgary AB)<br /><br />While not much has been revealed about the new album, they have revealed that Solange Knowles lends her voice to “When the Night Falls” and Cassius member and Phoenix producer Philipe Zdar mixed the disc. And in true Chromeo fashion, they will bring out everyone from the teenage lovers, to the 20 something blogpoders, to the 30 something burn-out ex-raver graphic designers, to the 40 something cougars together all to party under one roof. <br /><br />Chromeo is slick. Chromeo is dripping with reverb. Chromeo is Moog riffs, luxurious harmonies, macho guitar solos and real-deal songcraft. From the dancefloor-ready singles Fancy Footwork and Tenderoni, to the autobiographical Jew-boy ballad Mommas Boy, to the epic sax-laden 100%, Chromeo rolls you through a sleek, melodic world where all you need to worry about is whether youve got your sunglasses on and the right moves to keep up.<br /><br />For more information, please visit <a href="http://www.chromeo.net/">www.chromeo.net</a> and <a href="http://www.unionevents.com/events/details.php?id=2077">www.unionevents.com</a>OUTLOOKS Magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12763525412538957985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8545380426339553841.post-42365160346666462642010-07-16T17:18:00.000-07:002010-07-16T18:20:50.042-07:00Calgary Stampede - Quiet Oasis Among the CrowdsThe 2010 Calgary Stampede has brought the midway thrills and rodeo excitement that everyone looks forward to each year, but for those that seek a brief getaway from the crowds and the sun, look no further than the Western Oasis. Conveniently located in the BMO Centre in a separate section from the many vendor booths, this area brings a level of sophistication and culture to those out for an Urban-Chic Cowboy experience.<br /><br />Take in some of Canada's finest western art on display, and chat with the local and visiting artists as they proudly showcase their work. OUTLOOKS stopped at the Wine Garden, where manager Stephen Welch detailed selections from over 20 varieties of Canadian and International wines. The wine specialists on hand offer great suggestions based on your preferences. One of our favorites is the Hardy's Stamp Series Riesling Gewürztraminer from Australia, with honey tones and backed by a slight spice and zing.<br /><br />Sip a glass of wine, enjoy the art, get friendly with the living statues, dance to the Waltzing Waters show, and play a guessing game with the Speed Artist before heading back into the craziness of the midway for that extra corndog and crack at besting Whack-A-Mole.
