Get your 90s fix this weekend with two events that harken back to the decade of tearaways, platform shoes, glitter and oversized jerseys – either celebrate with girl power film, or party like it’s 1992. There’s also a natural soap-making workshop and a shindig that combines healthy juice with vodka. Just some of the fun going down this weekend in Toronto, April 22-24.
Drunk Feminist Films: Spice World
