Prom Dress Giveaway at the NDG Community Council

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018

All it takes is one person to have a light bulb go off and life gets better for many. Sharon Sweeney of the Sherbrooke Forest Art Hive received a donated prom dress. She remembered not having the budget to get the prom dress she wanted when she was younger, and voila – Sweeney and her colleagues organized a Prom Dress Donation/Giveaway project at the NDG Community Council. They’re already planning to do this again next year.

Turning their office into a boutique, they’ve already filled it with well over 150 dresses plus shoes, purses and even some jewelry. If it doesn’t fit, a seamstress has joined the effort along with a fashion designer to alter the outfits. And there’s even a photographer to take that memorable portrait.

Youth whose families struggle financially often borrow a dress which they may not even like. If you, your moms, daughters or friends have party dresses or gowns lingering in your closets, why not donate them and allow a girl to become a princess for a night? And if you need a fab prom dress – head to NDG where true believers in reduce, reuse or re-cycle are making fairy tales come true.

Centaur’s Hosanna: Inside Out

Friday, May 18th, 2018

Whoa, the stars were aligned at the Press opening of Hosanna. Not only was the the former artistic and executive director here, Roy Surette, who planned this production for Centaur, but the new artistic director, Eda Holmes, who was thrilled to be presenting it – but also – Maurice Podbrey (and wife Elsa), the founding artistic and executive director – AND – the author, Michel Tremblay. All were delighted with the show, as well they should be.
Hosanna_8_Eloi ArchamBaudoin photo Andrée Lanthier

Writing this in 1971, Michel Tremblay was far ahead of the general population’s knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community. In the play he speaks to the gender roles imposed by society at that time, and hope for eventual self-acceptance. Holmes refers to  this in her Director’s notes: “the narrow structures of gender and identity that were available at the time”. We have to applaud his bravery.

Eloi Archambeaudoin revisits his Table D’Hote Theatre role as Hosanna, hairdresser during the day to drag queen at night. The grander Centaur stage was a tabla rosa for lighting designer Audrey-Anne Bouchard to transform Claude Lemieux-rural boy into Hosanna-drag queen, using the uncomfortable giant flashing neon sign “BEAUBIEN” (tip of the hat to Montreal), to the David statue spotlight and the overall red light district red room.Hosanna_2_Eloi ArchamBaudoin and Davide Chiazzese photo Andrée Lanthier

The play reveals the painful sparring between the diva and her boyfriend, Cuirette playing hardass-leather- dude style by Davide Chiazzese. He fights back at her by putting the uncomfortable problems in her face, “You go to bed with makeup on because you don’t want to see who’s underneath”.  He knows Hosanna is stuck “between a woman’s face and a man’s body”. She knows how to spit back, referring to his job as washer woman by day and cowboy by night.

Who in this world doesn’t sometimes wish they could dress up and be someone else? Hosanna hits on this when she proclaims, “I know everyone who is gay in Montreal – even when they don’t know it themselves”.
Hosanna_14_Davide Chiazzese and Eloi ArchamBaudoin photo Andrée Lanthier

Tremblay shows us how we all work on our outsides but really need to be working on our insides. Director Mike Payette notes what a timeless story this really is, because all couples have to face “their notions of love, and how they can exist together”.

Dates: til June 10

Where to Get Your Blinds and Shades Cleaned (and Buy Them at Home)

Sunday, May 13th, 2018

We are so happy to look out of our windows at the happy Spring sunlight. That’s when we really notice our blinds and shades.

Clean window blinds and shades will brighten up any room decor.  Fenetre Deco does ultrasonic cleaning and repairs of all types of blinds, from 1″ aluminum horizontals to the higher end Silhouettes and Luminettes, and has one of the most extensive blind parts inventories in greater Montreal.

Ultrasonic cleaning is one of the safest and most thorough cleaning processes used in the cleaning industry today. The blinds are placed with a cleaning solution in large water-filled tanks, which use vibrating sound waves to loosen the dirt. Prices start at $15 per blind, and there is a minimum of $75 for a service call. Regular ultrasonic cleaning also helps improve the indoor air quality of offices and homes for a healthier environment.

They also sell many types of blinds and drapery and provide shop-at-home service for Hunter Douglas, Shad-o-matic, Sol-r, Levolor, Altex, wooden and PVC shutters, Sohji panels, roller shades, etc. Who better to suggest which blinds to purchase than the company which not only knows what new blinds look like, but also observes how they endure 2, 5 and 10 years later.

Keep your blinds and other window coverings in tip-top condition by having them serviced by the reliable experts at Fenetre Deco.
