Today is election day in Canada! You bitches better be heading to the polls! NPD!
I always vote for the sexiest bitch, and Jack Layton it is!

Minogue Does Montreal

Kylie Minogue came to Montreal's Bell Centre last night, for the first time in forever (maybe even the first time EVER).
Every Gayelle in town was there, without exception, except of course me! Kylie seems like a nice person and a really cool chick, but her music all sounds the same to me. ugh!
I wish she'd go back to acting (Bio-Dome anyone?)

Best Of The Worst

Here is the best of the worst from Montreal's White Drug Ball 2011 (Bal En Blanc).

I Love Facebook

Drag Queens & Small People, just another night in Montreal.

Osheaga 2011

Last night I found out that the artists for the 2011 edition of Osheaga were being announced at midnight (thanks to MWR). The lineup kinda feels like a disappointment... We were kinda hoping for PJ Harvey, but sadly she ain't in the lineup (hopefully this means she'll come to montreal and do a show in a hot little venue) but like all the years passed things are bound to change before the date of the event, even more so this year because there's only one headliner. Here are the artists you've heard about: Eminem, Elvis Costello, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab For Cutie, The Tragically Hip, Tokyo Police Club, Jimmy Hunt, Natalia Kills, Kid Cudi, Bright Eyes, Ratatat, Karkwa, Sam Roberts Band, Lights, Sia, Malajube, Bran Van 3000, Crystal Castles, MSTRKRFT

Gagnon Does Old Montreal

We all knew that Denis Gagnon is opening a store in old montreal, (170B rue Saint-Paul ouest, to be exact), but what was scheduled for spring apparently opens today? (april 5th). I got a text from a friend last night about going to the store today, since it was opening. Who knew! Of course, a real ''opening'' will follow in the coming weeks. I'll keep you posted because there's nothing like overpriced garments, and bitchy gayelle salespeople. Fashion!

What a Coincidence!

These theatre kids must be pretty happy about Elizabeth Taylor's death! As if they'd chosen to do this play!
Life is just full of surprises!

Zombie Does Nightlife

Rick Genest AKA Zombie Boy, is the april cover girl for Nightlife magazine. I love Rico and i think everything that's happening to him is great, but let's face it, it all has an expiration date, and i know he's from Montreal and all but nightlife putting him on their cover is a bit exagerated.

From Zombie To Tranny

Damn the stylist who made Montrealer Rick Genest (Zombie Boy) dress in women's clothing. Ugh! The Horror!

Celine Does The Oscars

Montreal Fashion Week

Fashion Week is over, and the Montreal fashionistas can dry clean all their H&M one of a kind pieces and hibernate 'til september.
I saw one show this year: Trusst Club. Wich from what I gather is a little store on St-Laurent that sells pieces by up and coming Montreal designers, or maybe they're an agency that represents Montreal designers, either way, they had a show a Fashion Week.
I can sum up that show in 6 words; Rick Owens, Calvin Klein & Vivienne Westwood.
First up (after a weird, bizarrely intentionally vague musical and spoken piece) Samuel Mercure, who modeled his collection on Rick Owens, was it an homage? or a ripoff? We'll never know. Everything was black, except the models, that will suit all the little montreal gay wannabe fashionistas (if they can afford it), but to me it seemed a little bit... 2008?
By Thomas came in second (the only woman designer of the show) She had some interesting pieces; dresses and a couple coats, but the cuts and shapes of everything reminded me a little too much of Calvin Klein's collections. That being said, it was very wearable stuff and will probably sell very well (depending on her price range).
Closing the show was: Christian L'Enfant Roi, interesting name, but that can't be said of his collection. Being a very big Vivienne Westwood fan, i saw all the little Viv things right away, the cuts of most of the pants & shirts, and you know that wine red color that Westwood is so fond of, well it was all over the place, wich is fine, no one owns that color, but since the cuts were very Westwood, i would have stayed away from a color that she uses so often. That being said, out of the 3 designers showcased in the show his collection is the one that most appealed to me. Some of the pieces looked dirty though and i even saw a few pins shining through (who was dressing these people backstage?)
The whole tone of the show was weird though, because for the most part they were using non-models who couldn't really walk, most of them looked very uncomfortable. the makeup was absolutely horrible on everyone, i don't know if it was the lights or what but i was kinda shocking!
I'm loving the concept of this thing/store/agency though, keep up the good work.

Montreal Fashion Week

Montreal Fashion Week is happening as we speak, and as per usual, there's nothing interesting to talk about, i'll be attending some shows tomorrow (last day) and maybe the end of fashion week party at Velvet, so i'll try to find some stuff to report back. 4 day fashion week? ugh!

What a Week

This was quite a week for shows in Montreal, on sunday, longtime fans had the pleasure of waiting 4 hours for Ms Lauryn Hill at Metropolis, and if you were looking for gay boys to have sex with last night but couldn't find any, don't worry they were all at the Robyn show at metropolis.

Moomba Supperclub

Who knew going to a cheesy supperclub in Laval could be so much fun! You can pee on your dress and you can even switch your earrings to fir your nose! Sensational!
