  • HOT LESBIAN (HAIRCUT) ACTION

    Posted by

    We humans are a creative bunch. We like to pair things together; we like duets and combinations.
    For instance, Clamato Juice – who ever saw a glass of tomato juice and thought, “Do you know would go good with that? Shellfish!” But it works (and incidentally, I’m starting to crave a Bloody Caesar now). But I digress.
    Here in Montréal we have our own bizarre combos, such as poutine (potatoes, cheese curds and gravy) or Nickels restaurant (Celine Dion meets greasy spoon), but few compare to the kick-assness that is “Bikurious” –a bike repair shop and lesbian hair salon.
    Join me as I get a Lesbian haircut…
    The brains (and clippers) behind the “lesbian haircut” is JJ Levine. Back in 2006, JJ was just cutting hair for friends at a bike-repair shop that her (then) girlfriend owned. After being approached numerous times by strangers looking for a trim, she grabbed a piece of plywood and a sharpie, and she wrote these words:
    LESBIAN HAIRCUTS!!!!
    (FOR ANYONE)
    $15
    Little did she know that 3 years later, her little lesbian haircutting gig would be infamous among all the cool queers in Montréal; attracting gay and straight, young and old, Montréalers and visitors.

    I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. So I grabbed my lipstick lesbian friend and a camera, and I headed down to the shop.

    When visiting Montréal, if you don’t need to get yer (bike) gears lubed, then maybe a little lesbionic stylistic makeover could be in order.
    The shop is grudgy-chic.
    Don’t expect a scalp massage.
    Beard-trimming available.
    Lesbian Haircuts for Anyone
    514-625-HAIR (appointments required)
    1757 rue Amherst

      			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	This is the view from our hotel room when my cousins and I spent the weekend in Montreal last July. The window looks directly up Avenue McGill College, to McGill campus and the mountain. I lived in Montreal during my time at the university, but this weekend was the first time my three cousins had been to the beautiful city. We spent the entire weekend walking up and down St. Denis, eating La Banquise's poutine in Parc La Fontaine, and napping in Parc Jeanne-Mance. But that first view of the city after our arrival at the hotel was definitely a moment that left my newbie cousins in awe of Montreal.

I really needed to get out of Toronto at that time, to reflect, and to surround myself with new stimuli. It was very cold during the visit, but I spent a lot of time walking around anyway, taking photos, going to galleries, and visiting restaurants with old friends. This shot is on Sherbrooke, just west of the Main. I've posted this before, in a flickr pool called "It can't be more Montreal than this".  I like this image because it looks like it's very cold out, and yet there are people moving about in what I think is one of the country's most charming cities.
