Queer queer QUEER!

VANCOUVER! I’m flying back to you today from Montreal and can’t wait to get back to you. Apparently I’ve missed the best part of summer, but I’m coming back with something amazing:

Thank you for all the support and votes over the past couple months. I won this because of you. And thank you to Tourisme Montreal, the City of Montreal and all the fabulous people who live here, the incomparable Daniel Baylis, Sam, Joanie, Rosalie, Francois… and my fellow contestants Travis, Corey, Blake and yes, even Nathan.

Here is the video recap from our final day of competition… and yes, you won’t have to hear me talk about this again. Tomorrow I’ll be back to Vancouver-based blogging. Can’t wait to see you all!
