Maw Maw on the drive home

What is interesting in this episode of Raising Hope is when they have Maw Maw wearing animal print. I have been pretty used to seeing this character in various degrees of leopard, last week taking the cake with her head to toe pajamas, and expected nothing less this week. However, she wore another pattern, a more subdued pattern, and I thought I had to let go of my projected analysis that envisioned stylist meetings that actually picked out animal print as a signifier of sexuality for Maw Maw and all that this implies for her. However, this reading stays as in this episode, the Chance clan travels to Hollywood where subplot, Maw Maw wants revenge on her dead husband’s (dead” mistress by sleeping with the dead mistress’s alive yet very elderly, husband. Guess what she was wearing afterwards?
Also, Spoiler Alert.

Day 250 !!! 100% !!!

Day 250 !!! 100% !!!
It seems important to use !!! for Day 250 for some reason. This is probably why a man growled at me when I passed him in the hallway of the Faubourg this evening after my Quebec Cinema class. It was sort of a Tim Allen growl, but with a little less of a ponderous/questioning tone and a touch more huskiness. It could also have been because I was sporting head to toe (including boots) leopard print and my faux fur tiger vest. He also sort of leaned into me as he passed. When I left the Faubourg, I chose to use the front entrance.

Day 249 in the Provigo, 95%

Day 249 in the Provigo buying groceries. This is one of my favourite places to ‘perform’ this work. I take off my winter wear and pile it in the shopping cart to drive around the vegetables, meats, cheeses and snack products under the bright bright lights. I generally try to let the muzak lull me into a Stepford Wives state of mind because I am usually tired and just picking up dinner fixings on the way home from where ever I am. If people stare, I smile at them.

Cameron Diaz kidnapped in leopard print


Cameron Diaz is kidnapped for the 3rd time (3rd in character’s lifetime, 2nd time in movie) while wearing a leopard print dress in A Life Less Ordinary, 1997 that I think she borrowed from her estranged-from-her-father, mother. Here she is playing cards with one of her kidnappers, in the trunk of her father’s car when he tries to get the ransom money back from Ewan McGregor, and finally, drawing down on her father and her father’s assassin who is threatening to shoot McGregor, the first kidnapper (in the movie, not Diaz’s character’s lifetime). Spoiler Alert.

Also, Estelle Rosen asked me about this project in “The Question” at the Charlebois Post, and my response went online today.

We don’t get the crazy Superbowl commercials unless companies have bought air time in Canada. Here are a few that featured animal print.
