Another example of performing proximity- something that I’ve started doing where I stand next to people (usually women) who are wearing similar animal prints to me. I document this when I can without drawing attention to the fact that I am taking pictures with my phone. Here, I am on the metro beside a woman with a black and grey leopard print purse.

40th Anniversary of the Montreal Portuguese Marching Band
I’m not to only one who turned 40 this year- the Montreal Portuguese Marching Band also celebrated their 40th Anniversary. I sit here with the Cub’s family with everyone decked out in animal prints.
Performing Cougar Proximity on the metro
A few weeks ago, I posted about standing next to people (usually women) who are wearing similar animal prints to me. I’ve started documenting this when I can and it doesn’t interfere with my experience, the wearer’s experience, or a public audience’s experience, who I am now noticing the presence of in these passive interactions. Also, I’m documenting with my smart phone, so I think it just appears as if I am txting or playing a game. Notice the Tim Horton’s coffee cup, my purse, her purse, my coat.

Day 156 giving it all I got, 95%
Day 156 giving it all I got in leopard on leopard on tiger. Hipsters love this jacket, regular people, not so much. 2 people said, “Caliss” on Mont Royal today as I walked by. The coat check girl at the Royal Phoenix said it was the best jacket she saw all night last night and the person working the door said I looked great which makes that a tie, 95%
