Color scheme(s) will be “grey on gray” with the occasional addition green, orange or puke for flair. Garment cuts continue to be of the loose, don’t give a f*k variety and motorcycle anything still goes.
Don’t beaLOSER (!) clean out the couch & get yerself into this look now *!*
I’m going to shift gears from my focus on winter fashion and bring it back to what really matters…
FOOD!*%!!
Let me set the scene.
.
..
… It was a lazy hangover Sunday & the Queen needed to drive to some godforsaken part of St Vital. We stopped at the Red Top Diner ‘cuz breakfast was a precondition for my company.
…
..

Anyway. The Red Top Diner is a classic Manitoban greasy (greasy, greasssy) spoon. It’s got all the essential pieces.
keep tha grea$e commin'
Wood grain everything… Check.
Crusty, yet friendly, lady staff… Check.
Signage that used to be white… Check.
Now let’z get down 2 bidness… The FOOD:
I opted for the ‘cheese dog’ + a coffee. It’s an e$$ential part of what I call ‘the evacuation’ hangover cure.
mmmmmmMmm... feel them arteries thicken
This delicantsy is pretty straight forward. Grilled hotdog on a bun with ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and (of course) cheese!
I couldn’t tell you how much it cost; since I refused to pay from the start of the trip; but I would estimate it to be around $10.
I wouldn’t call it a ‘mind blowing’ dawg; but it filled a hole in my stomach & got me over that first wave of hangover. If you’re into greasy breakfast, this might just be the place for you.
Rep the look that is both in style & functional. The Winnipeg Tuxedo:
Check out this George brand 2 tone; spotted back in late November.
Note the denim on denim variation, a stunning blue on black.
You’re going to want to support that with a classy t-shirt.
It’z common to spot an all blue ensemble on a Saturday or Tuesday nite. The all black approach is reserved for weddings, funerals & Ozzy concerts.
The key pullin’ this classic tuxedo look is the shoes and, on special occasions, the gold chain. Shoe’s should be steel toed runners or dirty Reebok knock-offs and the gold chain should be thin & questionably gold.
Grab a 2 pack of novelty condoms and watch the pu$$y roll in.
Quaint recommendations like ‘hot cocoa & a warm blanket’ are a nice thought; but seldom have the nitro required to push us through those bitter January Monday’s.
Nope.

Booze is how we do.

I Present, Article A:
Winnipeg Transit: 10:47 AM - January 17th 2011
Riding the bus & that sweet molson dry wave all the way into lunch.
I happenstanced into this Tuesday hoedown while walking home a few weeks ago.
It is a true Winnipeg experience.
The VLT’s were pumpin’ & the semi flat draught beer was flowin’ freely. Tuesday is Karaokee nite so the out of tune country music was in full force.
I knew what had to be done.

… Friends in low places.
….

……
In an attempt to mentally prepare myself for my moment on the mic; I stopped by the restroom.
Evidence of wreckless mayhem was everywhere.!.!.
A Commando iz loose in tha bar#!#!#!#!
Shaken; I stirred the courage to belt out my song to a captivated room of true music fans….
