I Here’s the thing, though: I had about a week, week and a half, when I missed classes because I was genuinely concerned that my contagion carrying self was going to give illness to people who have kids or to people with compromised immune systems. The rest of the time, I was just laid out feeling like abso- lute garbage. I was a walking snot locker with a fever and next-to-no patience and it was a deeply shiteous situation.

Plus, the Nugget office is kind of in a segregated area and I can close the door and pre- tend I’m not in the office. But when I emerged from the office, look out – I was a glassy eyed, sneezing, sniffling bag of sadness.

It wasn’t anything bad, just a visit with a puppy that I couldn’t remember, but still. It was a drawn out interaction during which I talked with mul- tiple people and went on a tour of campus apparently but I couldn’t remember it. You see now why I wasn’t in class? But now I’m back.

The red stain covered the bottom corner of the pristine white hotel comforter. Seven girls were crammed into the room getting dressed for one hell of a night out. Armed with lube, bright red wigs and a heavy dose of confidence, you might think we were ready for some kind of weird, kinky Halloween. This was Montreal Fetish Week and the Salient Seven team was ready to go.

Towering and teetering The gorgeous group trotted out the door, towering and tee- tering like latex-clad aliens. We were greeted by a barrage of cameras in the lobby as tourists and guests tried to capture what was definitely a sight to see. Once we pushed past the lobby and got to the street, we were home. For blocks in all directions, we were surrounded by bigger and more extreme looks. In Edmon- ton, you might not expect to see a grown man in a full on, skin- tight, studded latex suit but here you saw that guy everywhere. The craziest getup I saw was a small woman in an inflated rub- ber pig costume being led around on all fours. I’ve definitely never seen anything like that walking down Whyte Avenue. Tonight we walked the runway alongside international fet- ish wear designers. Although one of our girls bailed in rehearsal, no one wiped out when it actually came down to it. The room was freezing when we got there to set up but that didn’t last long. The massive hall was packed well above capacity while we eagerly awaited backstage.
