Cynthia Gould is one of those artsy freaks - a performance poet, writer, painter, graphic designer, party instigator (Bridesmaidmania and the Toronto Tinfoil Hat Contest), and is the singer/guitarist for the increasingly notorious Toronto drunkrock band High Heels Lo Fi. She's been on two spoken word tours, twice performed at Word on the Street, was published in Reader's Digest, and The Globe & Mail called her "an off-colour feminist rant poet", to which she disagrees, but giggles. www.cynthiagould.com / www.highheelslofi.com
