Natalie Castellino snapped photos of stylish folks this weekend in and around Kensington Market. There seemed to be a Bob Dylan vibe going on, so we’ve included lyrics from the original troubadour for each pic.
From “Tangled Up in Blue”
And I was standin’ on the side of the road
Rain fallin’ on my shoes
Heading out for the East Coast
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues gettin’ through
Tangled up in blue
*****
From “Baby, I’m in the Mood for You”
Sometimes I’m in the mood, I wanna climb up to the sky
Sometimes I’m in the mood, I’m gonna laugh until I cry
But then again, I said again, I said again, I said
Oh babe, I’m in the mood for you
From “Let’s Stick Together”
Stick together
Come on, come on, stick together
From “I Had a Dream About You, Baby”
You kiss me, baby, in the coffee shop
You make me nervous, you gotta stop
I had a dream about you, baby
From “Up on Cripple Creek”*
When I get off this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi
To the Gulf of Mexico
*A Band song, yes, but they were Dylan’s back-up band…
From “Born in Time”
In the blinking stardust of pale blue light
You’re coming through to me in black and white
When we were made of dreams
Is your photographer only three feet tall? Just askin
dylan drove a vespa?
Love the 1st girls jacket.
I would be disappointed though to be one of the photographed. It seems like the photographer only knows how to make people look short and stubby which I’m sure these people are not.
BlogTO already does a half-assed job of analyzing Toronto’s style.
I hope this gets better with practice.
In this case, I can see that style = hipsterishness, or “tolerable impracticality”
oh my god it’s walter becker 1975 about to get on a scooter.
Just curious why my comment on this is awaiting moderation? I didnt realize blogs like this were screened.
There seems to be less of a Bob Dylan thing going on and more of poorly dressed thing happening.

I really like this section of the website. Quite individual styles–they all seem to have signature pieces. I especially liked the man with the elephant on his bike.
