Strutting Your Stuff


Who's A Pretty Boy?

A phenomenal thing about Montreal is that the minute the weather is 10 degrees plus for more than 3 days in a row, people come out on the main drags to strut their stuff. Walking up Blvd. St. Laurent, I ran into this one preening by the sidewalk, Seeing and Being Seen. Get a load of what he's wearing! Totally overdone for daytime. I swear, he's gazing into the eyes of his own reflection. You're not Warren Beatty my friend! Get over yourself!

A prof from Melbourne whom I met in a bookstore was stunned at how the cafes were full in the mid-day, mid-week. Incredulously, he asked, "Don't people work here?" "No," I answered. "We are chronically indolent."

The weather means that people start dressing again and showing flesh. I miss flesh.

Neutered animals don't have a sex drive, right? I'm not even sure - isn't that shameful?

When you are attached at a time like this, the opposite sex become museum pieces - seen, admired but not touched or touched-on-the-sly.

The spring ritual is not about mating, its about conquest. Look at it this way, your battling on this front is done and you are fighting on different fronts. capiche?
