Head to the Marais if you are in Paris for the photo exhibition DOWNTOWN by award winning photographer Alexis Duclos. First image here is of my old friend, his brilliant wife Nancy Ing Duclos who helped host the vernissage the other day. Her brother Phillip whom lots of you might remember from his work with MAC and Fashion Cares came to town - along with some other familiar Toronto faces. Besides the kind of head-spinning catch up with lots of the attendees, it was great to see the photography up close and in person! Alexis is a self-described flâneur - whose spontaneity and wit counter-intuitively engenders works that operate outside of time. @alexisduclosphotography @nancyingduclos @phillipcing

A real blast from the past… @maccosmetics FASHION CARES 1998!!! I am so grateful for my many years with MAC. Not only did they teach artistry, they taught social awareness, empathy, and teamwork. I got to key a section of the Beautiful World Tour and if you watch the whole video (I will link it in my bio) you can see the whole show. Lots of little cameos from old friends backstage as well! I was wearing a custom dress designed by @snugindustries & hair accessories by @taniacorry
Thanks @maddoxthings for finding this gem!!

EXCLUSIVE:: In 2007, I co-produced the award-winning documentary DecAIDS: Anything Is Possible, which explored how the gay community mobilized against the AIDS virus. The film featured Fashion Cares, a fundraising event that benefited the AIDS Committee of Toronto (ACT).
I remember interviewing then–executive director Lori Lucier for the doc, who told me she could only hope for the day when ACT would no longer be needed.
I can be the first to tell you that that day, it seems, has come. Tomorrow morning at 8 am, ACT will announce that, after decades of inspiring service to Toronto’s HIV and AIDS community, it will close its doors in six months.
The news stirs deep emotion for me. ACT holds a special place in my heart: it saved lives, bettered lives, and made lives worth living again. The last time I worked with the organization was as chair of the 25th Anniversary AIDS Walk for Life, during which I decided—at last—to publicly disclose my own HIV-positive status (undetectable now, for the record).
It’s all very bittersweet. This is the end of an era marked by unspeakable loss and heartbreak, but also by a sense of true community, when if someone needed your help, you gave it.
Today, we live in a world of medical miracles: PrEP, PEP, doxy-PEP, and once-daily antiretrovirals. Clinics like HQ here in Toronto provide STI and HIV testing in modern, innovative ways—something ACT simply could not. In short, we’ve arrived at the time Lucier once envisioned: a time when ACT, born from a small group of people watching friends die around them and desperate to do something, is no longer essential.
Those young, determined people could never have imagined that what they started would grow into a giant AIDS service organization—one that became a leading institution and helped countless people through the battle against HIV and AIDS.
I’m grateful this day has come. And yet, it takes me back. While those years were strange, and horrifying, they were, most oddly, halcyon days. I miss them, in a way. And I’ll miss ACT when it’s officially gone. It has been a cornerstone in Toronto's queer community.
Thank you, ACT. Thank you to every staff member, and especially to every volunteer.
