Dear Sasha, 

I wish I knew what’s wrong with me.

I have an amazing man who loves me and is very dedicated and faithful, hardworking and a good father to his son. He is set in his ways, likes what he likes and is very unwilling to change. This bodes well for his dedication to me, and I find that immensely comforting and love him dearly for it. But there is a problem. I’m bored to tears!

Last Friday afternoon in a boardroom-turned-photo studio in NOW’s downtown office, designer Katherine Morley arrived to unpack a box containing her pieces for design week’s Capacity show. We don’t usually ask designers to attend shoots just to open up their wares but this was a special case.

Considering the thousand people who RSVPed to last Friday's opening of CB2 at Queen and Bathurst and the many more who cruised the furniture and accessories in the former Big Bop space over the weekend, Toronto shoppers are apparently a patient bunch.

Dear Sasha,

I’m a 30-year-old woman who was sexually abused as a child and raped as a teenager, and I have developed a fear of penetration as a consequence.
