Review of the Queen Elizabeth Hotel

This is a hotel in Montreal that I had the misfortune to stay at.

The first sign that this was going to bad was that some old white guy was standing next to me in the express line or something like that and the fuckhead at the registration counter called him before me even though i was there before him. Even the guy that got called up couldn't believe that he was being served before me.

The room was described to me as renovated, although when I got up to it all I smelled was tobacco. Whenever the person in the next room flushed their toilet or maybe it was the person above my room it sounded like an airplane was landing/taking off. Another interesting feature of my room was that hot water came out of the tap when I turned on the cold water. I wonder what I would find in an un-renovated room -- perhaps I could get a fatal dose of exposure to asbestos or some other hazardous material.

The bed was relatively good and the TV was a decent size. However, it was extremely cold. I tried to adjust the thermostat in the room but this had no effect. I think I would have been warmer sleeping on the steps of the cathedral across the street that night. Also the air conditioner or whatever was producing the cold was really loud. Interestingly, after I did the express checkout from my room the air conditioning was shut off. I got a chance to look at a room in the Holiday Inn and it was better than the room I had.

The hotel seemed to occupied by these old white guys with big bellies -- they look like they were pregnant -- and red faces -- the double scotch before dinner set. However, the next day I saw a lot of slutty looking women in the hotel. I know that there was a golf tournament or something like the days I was there, which probably explains the old white guys. It's debatable what the hot chicks were there for -- maybe they were call girls visiting the old guys.

I believe that the Queen Elizabeth is supposed to be a four star hotel. I'm not sure how many chromosomes the person who assigned that rating is missing, but I wouldn't even given a zero bunny rating. It should get a negative rating -- avoid at all costs.

Big Bunny's Girl of the Month: Lela Star

Unfortunately and surprisingly, Lela does not have a wikipedia entry so I'll have to offer a few of my own observations. Lela is an actress. She strikes me as the type who really enjoys her work -- so she might not be acting most of the time.

I guess her name is a stage name. She has a few tattoos and piercings. In terms of tattoos she has a star on her waist (I think this is like the star in her name) and one on her lower back. The piercings include one in her belly button and in the clit area.

She's a squirter, but not one of the freak squirters.

Event Ad

These are all high resolution pictures, so click on the picture if you want more details.

I spotted this ad the other day. I thought it was really well done, not like some other events. To me the whole school girl imagery put up against the back to school title makes it work really well.

Whoever came up with this ad didn't make a half-hearted effort to get the school girls, as we can see above. I don't know if these two are in the porn business, but they would be at the very least dancers (especially the one in the foreground). I like the pom poms on the one in the background giving her a bit of cheerleader look, but with a bit of a twist -- cropped skull top that says "Bad Girl Univ." with studded dog collar. Whoever thought of that is a true artist.


In the foreground, you get the more conventional school uniform kilt taken to a new level. The white socks with heels and the two arm tattoos. The tattoo on the thigh is also another nice touch. I don't think she has any trouble earning lunch money.

The one in the background looks a little more wholesome.

The one in the foreground looks really professional.


If the strong visuals weren't enough, they also have cheap drinks. Something for every -- ass and/or booze.


Not only did these guys come out with a really good ad but they promoted it well. I was walking home on Thursday night and they had a few girls in school girl outfits handing out fliers. They were kind of like indie-rocker chicks -- not as hot as the chicks in the ad -- but you could see butt cheeks on one of them because her kilt was so short.

Random Picture

From Last Night's Party.


If you want to talk about hot hipster chicks, then here you go.

Lets deconstruct her look.

The over sized sunglasses, which are standard issue for hipster chicks. She really pulls them off well, so she's wearing them not the other way around.

The pigtails, take the look in a totally different direction. Most hipster chicks couldn't pull it off -- but you can tell she means business, she's no school girl.

The tight top, totally self-evident. (I'm pretty sure its American Apparel.)

The jean shorts. If they were cutoff, it would be even better.

The tattoo on her right forearm. Like I said before, she means business. No half-hearted stuff for her.

In the second picture, you can see that she's wearing heels -- which basically completes the look as far as I'm concerned. If she was wearing ballet shoes or flip flops it would be a total disappointment.

Even the location is first rate.

Here's a link to the first picture, so you can get a better look at the details (like the tattoo). The second picture is here

Japanese Photography

I don't really know what it is about the Japanese, but they always seem to be like on the next level. I've been looking into some different photographers and they always seem to be doing doper than the next guy.

I found some stuff by Osamu Kanemura. He does these urban landscapes that are jam packed. They're collected in his book, Spider's Strategy. You can see scenes similar to these in Chinatown, but they aren't as intense as the Japanese equivalents.

Here are a few.




I also stumbled across Kohei Yoshiyuka. His stuff is more out there. Basically this guy went to this park in Tokyo where couples make out to take pictures. They were shot in the 1970s at night and published as Document Kouen. So you're probably thinking, what a pervert. Here's the twist. There are all these pervs in the park who spy on the couples and in a few pictures they almost seem like they are getting in on the action. So he's there documenting all this.

Here are a few samples, so you can see what I'm talking about.



Like I said, next level shit.

Ankle Bracelets

When I was growing up ankle bracelets on a girl meant that there was a pretty high probability that she was a tramp.

Yesterday I was walking home and there was sun dried woman walking towards me in some tight spandex with a camel toe. She was also wearing a cropped top and I could see the glitter of some blue coloured glass or crystal in her belly button.

This made me think is the belly button piercing the new ankle bracelet?

But then I wondered what about a tattoo on the lower back, which is sometimes referred to as a tramp stamp. These seem to be a little more common than a belly button piercing, but i don't have any survey results to back this up. Maybe the tramp stamp is the new ankle bracelet?

To me it seemed that the ankle bracelet wasn't overly common, so like when you saw it meant that you hit the jackpot.

I raise the issue because tattoos are so much more common. For example, this morning I noticed that the woman testing my dad's eyes had a tattoo on her foot (I spotted it because she was wearing ballet shoes) of a Chinese character. This woman was probably in her 40's or maybe a little older. She was wearing a lab coat so I couldn't tell if she also had a tattoo on her lower back. So tattooing is probably a lot more popular with a lot of people, for whatever reasons, so when I see one on the lower back should I really look at it as a subconscious signal.

Or maybe the tattoo and the piercing are interchangeable, some like piercings and other like the art work. So it doesn't really matter what you see, you have a keeper if you see either or even better both. Given changes in social norms maybe we're just seeing more of this (in other words, if ankle bracelets were still fashionable we would be seeing a lot more of them).


I wonder ....

Douche Bags of Toronto

I saw this in the NOW weekly in the style section. They usually profile some "hipster" who has some sort of look that is usually a poorly done combination of H&M and vintage pieces. If they really want to see good combinations of vintage and more current things they should start picking some Japanese kids to feature.

This week I guess they decided to move more upscale with the film festival set to kick off in a few days.

He's sporting a more upscale look. He's wearing all Versace in case you're curious.

The powder blue suit really makes me wonder what he was thinking or who was with him when he bought it. Kind of Miami Vice, but not really because of the cut of the jacket.

The shoes are standard issue for douche bags in this city -- they have an elongated silhouette but come to a bit of a point. These are a little more subdued than the ones that do come to a point -- these stop a little short -- but they definitely fall into the Aladdin style footwear that more fashion forward douche bags favour.


I finding it really surprising that they featured an outfit like this and are actually being serious. You never see someone dressed like that in The Satorialist, which is blog where the guy takes pictures of people in the cities he visits.

They did a little a Q&A with him as well and one of the questions they asked him was what was his little secret. His reply was "Mistura", which is a restaurant with a really high price point. I have a hard time understanding why it would be a secret though because the restaurant is regarded as one of the better ones in the city and the chef/owner makes appearances on restaurant makeover.

Like the title says douche bag.
