  • MATT & NAT BAG THROWING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

    Posted by

    Ok, so I spent the last week telling you how I was gearing up for Matt & Nat’s free bag giveway I even bragged about the helmet and kneepads that were going to ensure my success, yada yada yada, etc, no need to quote me, please.
    Well . . . The bag throwing has come and gone, and I’m at home nursing a sore ego. There. I admit it. I didn’t catch a purse. Actually, I did, until a crazy woman ripped it out of my hands and dragged me on the cement, walking away with MY prize, and leaving me to find the shoe I had lost in the battle.
    After a long period of debating, with some sulking mixed in there, I’ve decided to share my experience with you. (That’s right, DANIEL caught it on camera). While it pains me to show the world how I got taken down by another woman in a parking lot, part of me realizes that the footage is so hilarious, there’s no way I can keep this to myself!
    So here it is…a parking lot, hundreds of hysterical girls and free Matt & Nat purses falling from the sky. Bad, BAD combination!!!!

    What I’ve learned: If you really want to see a woman’s true colours, just throw a free designer purse at her while she’s in a crowd.
    If this were a football game: My purse-catching would totally be a touch-down.
    What you need to remember: I fought for my purse. But you can get your own. Matt & Nat bags at Simons and Browns.

      			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	I took this photo approximately 45 minutes before our Toronto bound VIA train was to set to leave.  That morning we packed our bags and sought out crepes for breakfast before heading to the station.  I cried while packing because I didn't want to leave - the four days we had spent in the city had been perfect. We decided to take one last stroll while waiting for our train.  We walked out to the street only to discover it was closed off for the Pride Parade!  I took a few minutes to snap some shots of everyone waiting for the parade to begin.

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.			The Montréal Buzz posted a photo:	I was in Montreal last winter (February) just after the death of one of my parents. 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.
