1. The first time I went to a bar to drink was on my 18th birthday, the legal drinking age in Quebec. I had 3 beers and I was pretty drunk. I didn’t drive home… my sister drove me back.

2. My first car was a cherry red convertible MGB which I loved. Sold it for the same amount of money I had bought it 2 years prior.

3. I was a trained and licensed barber. My first barber job was a the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal which was part of their well known spa. I once cut the hair of famous 60′s teen idol from Quebec: Pierre Lalonde and hockey legend Guy Lafleur.

4. I won a Rock-and-Roll dance contest when I was 17 to the tune of The Boy From New York City. The first prize was 6 bottles of wine which we were too young to have and the prize was awarded to my “then girlfriend’s” parents. (she was the last girlfriend)

5. While in College, over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, I read the entire book The Stand by Stephen King. I was obsessed and couldn’t put it down.

6. The best drag queen show I ever saw was at The Parliament House in Orlando… and that’s a lot for me to say as I love watching drag queen on stage and even performed with them in a couple of big shows here in Toronto… But still, when I saw the one in The Parliament House hosted by this big girl who could dance anyone out of the place while singing Moving On Out, I was cheerily in drag queen heaven.

7. In Grade 8, I started being serious about learning English and took extra classes. In one of them, the teacher thought that using pop culture such as tv shows, music, Archie comic books was the best way to really get us to learn. One of our first assignment was to go buy the single The Things We Do For Love and write down the lyrics… I got an A+ after driving my mom crazy while listening to the song ad nauseam

8. I worked for Club Med as a G.O. (gentil organisateur). The first Club I went to was St-Lucia for 5 months where I worked as the Chef Du Village’ administrative assistant… at the time it was secretary, which consisted of sending weekly typed documents to the head office in New York… Easy Peasy… I worked 7 days a week, 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening and I was part of most of the shows in the evenings… Great dream job… The second Club I went to was Paradise Island in the Bahamas and that wasn’t so hot.. the Chef Du Village was not a happy camper and made life a little bit tough on all of us… I lasted 3 weeks before I decided to go back home… I was the 33rd person to leave since the beginning of that season, it was almost a contest to see who’d leave next.

9. We own over 800 movies and TV shows on Blu-Ray, DVD or video (and that’s after getting rid of a lot of videos too). We haven’t watched them all and just added 31 DVD to that list on our last trip to Vermont where my brother in law gave us free access to his warehouse (I was too embarrassed to pick more.. hehe)

10. We’re already planning our next trip to Disney for December of this year, but are mostly excited about New York City and the Southern Carbbean cruise in 42 days!!! Who’s coming with us?

Now it’s your turn… tell things things we might not know about you!
