Montreal New Years Eve 2010 :: the Blog

A quick note, to remind everyone that the St-Patrick’s day parade is hitting Montreal this Sunday the 14th of March.

Bring out the Irish in you, sport green clothing and enjoy your Guinness and your Irish car-bombs.

If you want serious journalism, read what the Mirror has to say about St-Patties. I did just that, and I realized for the first time where the name “Irish car bomb” comes from, and it’s kind of wrong, at least for people that have witnessed the violence in Ireland. But I guess this is a recurrent event: a name that starts with a quite dubious origin, but with time and history evolves in something more and everyone forgets it’s unpleasant origins. And there will be a lot of forgetting being done Sunday, especially after a few of these Irish car-bombs are consumed.

Talking about Guinness here are two cool ads. I prefer the first one, because it isn’t made with computer effects.

It’s a bit late now, because the event is now over, but that didn’t stop our friends at Montreal-Clubs.com to publish an article on the Montreal Fashion Week.

Judging from the media’s attention, it seems that the event was a success yet once again. It’s great to see so many talented designers from Montreal showcasing their creations.

Again, judging by reactions in the media, designer Denis Gagnon won the hearts of the public with an all-zipper made robe and purse, which you can see bellow:

I must admit that the zipper thing is an amazing idea. Denis Gagnon also makes shoes that have a big chunk of them made from zippers, so I guess it is a specialty of his.

Unfortunately, you will now have to wait until next year’s edition of the Montreal Fashion Week, to view the beauties bellow and to witness which other clothing accessory could be made from zippers, or other secondary materials. You’re probably already thinking about thongs, but I am ready to bet that it has already been done.
