Welcome!

Drowsey had a great time when Olga, the Traveling Bra visited! Here are a few of the photos ... and copies of our posts.

Of course to see all the fun and mayhem you'll have to click on the link at the bottom of each post to see the "original post" ... that's where you'll also see all the comments everyone made.

Mt Fuji

Sis and Olga enjoyed a quick trip to Japan recently. Check out Olga's blog for lots more photos!

Bath Time

Finally!

For the love of all that's holy ... she needed it!

Oh sure, maybe in the past Olga's been given the princess treatment by her chaperon's and taken to a spa, or bathed by hand but life's not like that in our world. Sis and I are not domestic ... nor do we wash things by hand.

So when Olga first heard she was getting a bath I think she was expecting something a little more special than what she got.

That's right ... all items at Sis' house go in the washing machine. Gasp! But Sis placed her in there gently ... it's not like she just threw her in for pity sake.

So maybe it wasn't the "delicate" cycle ... but at least Olga wasn't alone, there were 2 pairs of jeans and bro-in-laws socks and underwear in there to keep her company.

Sis is pretty sure she heard something as she left the laundry room ....

"Who are these people?! Low class ... throwing me in with ... glug, glug ... I'm going under...what the hell is that? Is that a stinky dirty sock? Help!"

"Animals!"









"Hmm...male briefs ... hey there."













"At least they had the common sense to air dry me."

Now check out this story from Olga's (ahem) perspective.

Blue Jays Way

Don't be afraid ... those aren't real people. That's called "art".

Actually they're pretty cool ... this is the SkyDome. Well, some big stupid corporation bought it and renamed it but I refused to call it by a corporation name.

It really ticks me off when companies do that. There's no reason why they couldn't have kept the name SkyDome for this building.

Anyway ... that's my rant for the day. It was a short one, phew.

So us 4 girls, Sis, Olga, Drowsey & Me ... finished up our road trip of Toronto by heading down Blue Jays Way.










Here's a view of the SkyDome from the top of the CN Tower.

I kinda peaked out the window at it, lol. Actually ... I wasn't too bad up on the tower, well in the area where you're enclosed. I was pretty comfortable after awhile.

Out on the open area was a bit unnerving, eventhough there as a fence and screen ... it was still scary!

After our road trip Olga had to get ready for Japan. That's right! Sis & Olga in Japan! I'm sure Sis won't have any problems explaining Olga to her Japanese hosts.

The Glass Floor

Oh sure we've all heard about the glass ceiling, but what about the glass floor?

Well at the CN Tower they have a glass floor at the top of the tower. Yeah, you'd be right if you're thinking I didn't stand on top of it.

Sis did tho! And took Olga and Drowsey with her ... 1815 feet up in the air! Insanity!

I was hugging the wall with the other chickens.

Because of the lighting this is the best we could do. Doesn't Drowsey look a bit like Chucky?

Sis took some great photos of Toronto ... it was such a clear day we could see Niagara Falls.

Here's a Drowsey tidbit:

Olga Visits The CN Tower

Here it is! Yikes!

You may remember my fear of heights, from when Sis tried to kill me ... so I was feeling a bit nervous.

See that indent on the tower? That's where the elevator goes up and down ... it has glass doors! And several glass panels in the floor! What fun!

Ah well, as you know by now, I'll do pretty much anything to show Olga a good time. Even put my life on the line.




On our way to the Top of the World!

Well, kind of.

The CN Tower used to be the tallest free-standing building in the world, but now Dubai has that title.

The stuff they're building over there is crazy!








Aaaahhhh..... Olga's hanging on tight at the top of the tower!

Okay, it's just a model, but still.

It was a beautiful day and so clear. The view was quite spectacular.


















Then we went to the next level where you're outside...eeesh. Thank goodness for the fencing but still, it was scary! It was very windy too! Olga was blowing in the breeze. And Drowsey was a little freaked about lying on the fence, as you can clearly see by the look on her face!










Remember to click on the photos to bigify ... they're big!

And check out how it all went down from Olga's perspective!

Toronto Road Trip

Two gals a bra and a doll ... driving down the QEW heading for some fun. The QEW is our highway ... it stands for the Queen Elizabeth Way, it's all very proper. Hence the bra hanging from the rear-view mirror.

Anyhoo ....

Yes, Sis was driving and taking photos. Yes this made me panicky. No it didn't stop her. And thankfully ... no we didn't get into an accident.










Here's a shot of the CN Tower and the SkyDome from the QEW. The Dome is a little harder to see now that they've allowed a bunch of ugly condos to be built blocking the once glorious view. So sad. (Click on the photos for a larger view.)

Here we are making our way through traffic. Can't believe I used to do this commute every day! And it wasn't busy at this time of the day ... yet it was still traffic mayhem.









This is our version of MTV ... it's called Much Music. They were tearing down equipment so we must have just missed an interview.









This is Winston Churchill. Okay, the actual guy is dead but this is a statue of him. Yonge Street is the longest street in Canada and where all the action is in Toronto.












Here's our destination ... stay tuned for more on my adventures chaperoning Olga the Traveling Bra!

(Seriously, click on the photos for a larger view ... they're really large!)

Now, speaking of large (cups) be sure to check out Olga's version of our road trip. She always has a much more "unique" view of things!

The Traveling Banana

So ... you thought a Traveling Bra was weird? Sis and I took Olga to the CN Tower and guess who we ran into?

Two gals with a Traveling Banana!

Not sure where they were from, but they bought the banana at the West Edmonton Mall. Of course it's a little easier to explain taking a photo of a plastic banana than it is of a lacy black bra ... who's often accompanied by a doll in pajamas.

Here they all are, atop a Moose painted as an RCMP officer (click to bigify). Could it get any weirder?

Umm ... yes, yes it could.

As they sat there posing for the photo, an older couple walked by and the man came over and touched Olga's lacy cup and said, "38 double D. I know bra sizes!" as his wife laughed.

Traveling bras, dolls, bananas, painted moose and a bra aficionado ... it's a weird and wacky world!

I love Ruby

Ruby is my car, in case you're wondering.

And yes, I love her.

I was without her for a few days a week ago which was frustrating but she's back and running cool and happy. No more over-heating. Yep, that happens to us gals when we hit a certain age. If only I could get a new thermostat as easily.

I'm even able to open my door from the inside now - you may remember that Sis and I had a few challenges in that area ... often being held captive by Ruby.

Cars equal independence in many cases. If you live in a large city where there's reliable public transit, like a subway, it's not such a big issue. But if you don't have that kind of access to transportation - not having a car can leave you feeling trapped.

I went many years without a car - relying on buses, trains, subways, friends, family, neighbours ... getting a headache thinking about it. The thought of losing Ruby is scary. I certainly can't afford another car ... so these somewhat frequent moments when I'm without her and scrambling to find money to fix her ... are intense.

As for Olga's ... she's all Revved-Up! So check it out.

The Canadianization of Olga

Being in Canada has been a bit of a culture shock for Olga. I mean, first there's the language barrier. She's a smart bra so she picked up the lingo pretty quickly, eh.

Most importantly, she's discovered our liquid gold ... Tim Horton's coffee. It's important to our government that all Canadian's be hopped-up on Timmy's daily. It's what allows the powers that be to pass crazy laws without a lot of fuss from the people - hence our metric system, Loonies and Toonies.

Anyway, as you can see she's addicted. Basically she's a Canadian now. Well, an honourary one anyway. Heck, she's even taken to adding the unnecessary "u" to words, like colour and honour and reversing the dreaded "er" at the end of words like, theatre and centre. I even caught her writing a cheque, rather than a check, for a purchase she made (okay, she really didn't do that, but all the other stuff is true).

Oh yes, the conversion is almost complete. Pretty soon we'll be referring to her as a 96.5 DoubleD (damn metric system).

Yes, that's a Loonie and a Toonie.

Contest Winner

Olga and I thank everyone who participated in our first Photo Caption Contest!

We certainly received a lot of ... ummm, creative entries! Yes, it is true that we have the funniest most wittiest commenters in the blogosphere which is why it was tough to pick a winner, but after careful consultation we chose:

"Is that a sarcophagus or are you just happy to see me?"

Congratulations to Jeanna of Wisconsin Candy Dish who really captured Olga's sassiness with her witty caption! (Okay, I fixed what I thought was a typo because she originally said "carsophagus" but either way ... they're both big and they're both funny!)

We're also awarding a consolation prize to Speedcat Hollydale for most entries - 15! My favourite was, "It's my anniversary? Too bad my hands are glued to my leg! " Oh he's funny ... and chatty!

So, Jeanna & Speedy ... send your mailing address to drowsey_monkey@yahoo.com and your truly tacky Niagara Falls souvenir will be on its way!

I'll post a photo of the lovely prizes in a few days ... they're kind of in transit at the moment.

Oh, and for anyone wondering what a sarcophagus is ... click here.

The Full Monty

Well, sort of.

Olga the Traveling Bra and I are doing a joint Hump Day post today to introduce you to Olga's newest admirer.

Meet Monty the Moose.

It's a story as old as time ... bra meets moose, bra ignores moose, moose persists and next thing you know bra and moose are making out in a plastic bag like a couple of ... well I don't really know what, but that shopping bag was a rockin'!

They met in Niagara Falls, the Honeymoon Capital of Canada (luckily Sis and I manged to keep them away from the chapel). Monty saw Olga ... it was love (or something like it) at first sight. His seduction prowess is legendary ... plus check out the size of that maple leaf!

They've been hanging out together at Sis' place all week and Monty's looking a bit overwhelmed to be honest. Olga is a whole lotta woman!

Check out what Olga has to say about Monty!

Then Sis Tried To Kill Me

Yeah, well okay ... not literally but I could have died!

I DON'T LIKE HEIGHTS!

Why? Heights are high. High is not good. It's high. Up in the sky. Not good.

So when Sis suggested we go on the Sky Wheel I just simply said, "No." I figured that was the end of it because why would I do something I don't want to do? I don't do that. If I don't want to do something I don't do it. I'm stubborn that way. Sis knows this. She's known me FOREVER!

Of course I've known Sis forever too, so why did I think she wouldn't be able to talk me into it?

My main argument was that I could fall out ... that's when Sis said the cars were enclosed.

Damn it.

Next I said it was too hot. That's when I saw the sign saying the cars were air conditioned.

Double damn it.

So against my better judgment, and for the sake of Olga ... because that was the main argument Sis was using, that I had to do it for Olga ... I got in line. Obviously my panic at standing in front of the massive Ferris Wheel knocked all common sense out of my head because Olga is A BRA!

Basically I was lured to an almost certain death with the promise of air conditioning and the need to keep a brassiere happy.

Clearly I WAS NOT THINKING.

As the doors closed panic really set in. I COULD NOT MOVE. Sis could move, even though the sign clearly said to STAY SEATED, as I pointed out SEVERAL TIMES.

Sis set up Drowsey and Olga. It was raining. Rain was coming in the car which clearly meant the car was faulty and would plummet us to our death. Clearly.

I WAS TALKING REALLY LOUDLY because that's what I do when I'm panicked.

Sis was going on about how cool it was.

My eyes were closed.

I should mention we hadn't started moving at this point.

Then we moved. OH MY GOD.

The automated recording started, Sis was talking, I have no idea what she was saying but the voice on the automated recording said something about being 75 feet up in the air! That's when I yelled, "SHUT UP! 75 FEET UP IN THE AIR...STOP TALKING!"

I even managed to unhook my hands from the bench and put them on my ears, but not before I heard the voice say, "3 rotations." The automated voice sounded so happy about that, like it was a gift or something.

That's when I opened my eyes and looked at Sis who said, "Cool!" while I yelled, "3 TIMES?!"

Sis then went on about how beautiful the view was and how I should relax and look around and when did I become afraid of heights ... and a bunch of other stuff, I dunno with the blood rushing to my head I couldn't really focus.

That's when I calmly said, "Why are we doing this anyway?" And Sis answered, "To get photos of Drowsey and Olga." To which I commented, "I didn't need to be here for this." And Sis said, "But it's fun!"

We were nearing the top and my panic as full blown ... as we went down the other side I yelled, "THEY'RE INANIMATE OBJECTS ... I'M YOUR ONLY LIVING SISTER!"

To which Sis replied, "You're my only sister, even if you were dead."

WTF?

That was obviously NOT my point.

The water was still dripping into the car ... we'd probably drown.

Sis decided to call her daughter to tell her we were in a Ferris Wheel and that I was afraid of heights. Apparently no one in my family was aware of this.

I yelled something into the phone about her mother trying to kill me. It's all a blur, really.

Sis and my niece had a quiet chat ... obviously about me. I found out after I got off the death wheel that they were wondering why I wasn't freaking about about my claustrophobia. Thank god I didn't overhear that conversation!

Anyway, I survived ... obviously. My neck was so stiff by the time I got off I couldn't turn my head or look up or down. And ... because it wasn't busy we went around 4 times ... not 3! Bonus!

To top it off ... the photos really didn't turn out that well. Oh the irony.

Enjoy the captions.

Olga Hits the Strip

First, I have to say it's a huge responsibility being a bra chaperon. I really had no idea. I contemplate Olga 24/7!

Anyway ... back to our adventure ... Clifton Hill is the main drag in Niagara Falls. There's lots of stuff to do and see there like, the Guinness World Records Museum, the Haunted House and the Sky Wheel ... where basically Sis tried to kill me (more on that in another post).

Anyway, here's a collection of photos from that night, Olga's in most of them, it's a bit like finding Waldo at times. Lot's of passersby also took photos so who knows where those will turn up someday - nowhere I hope 'cause Sis & I were not at our best, it was raining and windy ... it wasn't pretty.

Photo Caption Contest

Olga made quite a stir in Niagara Falls ... she is a flirt and rather hard to control at times!

So when she jumped up on this fella's lap she made quite the impression, as you can see. Not sure what she did but based on his expression ... well you tell me!

That's right ... Olga and are holding our very first joint Photo Caption Contest.

Add your Caption for this Photo in the comment section here or at Olga's blog. The contest closes on Wednesday the 24th. We'll announce the winner on Thursday the 25th.

The winner will receive a truly tacky souvenir from Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Olga Goes to the Casino

Here's Olga hanging by the OLG sign ... that stands for Ontario Lottery & Gaming. Yep ... we're heading for Casino Niagara!

Sadly we weren't allowed to take photos inside, dang. Olga looked pretty good at the slot machines, not to mention the fuss she and Drowsey made playing poker.

To be honest (not that the stuff about the poker game wasn't honest) I did get a rather unusual look from the security guards as I wandered in with my doll in a bag. They didn't stop me so I'm guessing they thought it was my lucky charm, or something.

The looks got even stranger as we entered the elevator, which was very slow moving. A woman did strike up a conversation with us though.

Woman: "Are you here for the convention?"

Sis & Me: "No."

Elevator Music

Sis: "What's the convention for?"

Woman: "The Special Needs Offenders Convention"

Elevator Music ... Awkward Silence

Sis: "Oh, no."

Me: .... Self-consciously slides bag with doll and black bra behind my leg.

Finally the doors opened and we made our escape.

Sis and I frantically began asking each other ... Do we look like we have special needs? Do we look like offenders? Maybe we look like social workers and she thought the doll and black bra were props, you know ... for the offenders? Who's idea was it to take a travelling bra out in public anyway?

We quickly headed outside where 2 women with a doll, bra and camera would blend in quite nicely. More on that tomorrow.


Here's Olga is with her winnings. I think that's a 500 dollar chip ... maybe, could be.

Make sure you check out Olga's version ... it's always more interesting!

Drowsey & Olga Sight See

Sis made sure the girls were safely buckled in. After that they were so quiet we didn't give them much thought until we pulled into the Tim Horton's drive thru ... and the girl who handed us our order gave our 2 passengers in the back seat a funny look.

As you can tell by Drowsey's hair ... it was a windy day. The remnants of Ike were blowing through. (Click on the photos for a larger view).

When we arrived Drowsey and Olga did some sight seeing, checking out the Falls.

Drowsey was hamming it up for the camera ... such a child sometimes.

Olga made a break for it ... that's when a woman saw her posing for photos and aptly said, "What happens in Niagara Falls stays in Niagara Falls!" How true.

Yes, we were hard to ignore ... another woman came up to me laughing because she thought I had a real baby on the ledge, "I told my husband look at that woman! What a bad mother!" Then she saw me stuff the "baby" into a bag and realized it was a doll.

It was getting dark so we packed-up and headed to the main drag, Clifton Hill, where all the action is. And yes, this is how I carried them around town ... which made for some interesting looks and comments.

More on that next time.

For a MUCH FUNNIER version of this story ... check out Olga's take on what happened.

Last Minute Road Trip

Sis, Olga, Drowsey & Me had a last minute road trip to Niagara Falls Sunday.

There are lots of stories to tell ... and I'll be telling them but until then here's a little video to show you how much fun the girls were having.

The video is a bit grainy ... Sis is still learning how to use her new camera and as you can see Drowsey still hasn't had her bath, sheesh. That really is coffee on her foot!

Olga's Hard to Handle!

That's what Sis said to me last night. You see ... Olga's been staying at her house. We've all been stuck without cars the last few days, which is not good when you have a "traveling" bra to take out sight-seeing!

Anyway, Olga's a pretty good sport (even though she's not a sports bra) ... she didn't mind hanging out with Sis, especially since it was raining a lot today. Olga was a little surprised when she learned Sis and family are not drinkers though.

Whaaa???

"Not even cooking sherry?" Olga exclaimed!

"That would imply I cook." Sis said.

Then Sis remembered their stereo unit had a bar in it ... remember those from the 70s? Well if there was anything in there it was probably a wedding gift ... making it at least 30 years old!

Olga crossed her straps as Sis opened the door and then ... voila! Olga was thrilled and practically knocked Sis over as she scrambled to give Mr. Bacardi and all his buddies a big 'ol bodacious Olga hug!

After hanging with the boys in the bar Olga started to get a little tipsy.

That's when the mayhem began ... soon Olga was swinging from the chandelier (such as it is).

The night ended with Olga at the piano ... along with her new BFFs.

They were still singing drinking songs when Sis and family finally went to bed.

Olga's Chaperones

I asked Olga to come up with a new motto. She chose, "Be grateful for your Chaperons" check it out ... it's worth a look. But in Olga's case is it a motto or is it penance? I mean, she did get a little out of control in the comments section last night.

Olga and Drowsey Meet!

Finally!

Although it was a little awkward at first ... Drowsey's a baby doll after all, and Olga's a worldly bra.

Drowsey was a little tentative ... and just checked her out from the corner of her eye.

But Olga, being Olga ... hopped right up there and gave Drowsey a big 'ol hug. Umm...yeah, like me ... Drowsey's not really a hugger.

That was awkward.

Then Drowsey thought she smelled something from this worldly womanly bra ... and being the saucy cute kid she is asked, "What's that smell? Sex and beer?"

Olga said, "Ummm ... NO! I don't drink beer! I prefer wine."

.

Ahhh hahaha ... the ice was broken. Laughter ensued. Although we're thinking Drowsey actually fainted from the aroma.

Either way, as you can see Drowsey has a coffee stain on her right foot ... so clearly they both need a bath before heading out on some travels.

If all goes as planned, which it rarely does, we're thinking Niagara Falls on the weekend. Until then ... the girls will chill, watch TV, discuss Canadian vs American politics ... you know, the usual.

For a MUCH FUNNIER version of the story ... go here: Olga the Traveling Bra.

Olga's Landed!

And she's hot & cranky. Sheesh.

Sure she flew the plane into the Toronto Airport, which you can see and read all about here. But then she had to hop into her new fancy bag for the road trip to Sis' house. That's right ... Drowsey hasn't met her yet! That will take place tomorrow. But Sis is a great hostess ... Drowsey should know ... she lived with Sis for a few years.

Here's the snazzy new travelling case Fracas gave Olga ... very fancy indeed.

Next Olga showed Sis her original travelling bag ... it has lots of goodies on it, as you can see, all from her various travels. Sis was amazed that Olga had a passport and driver's license! She wondered about the legalities ... but as I said, Olga gets away with a lot ... mostly because she can charm her way out of most situations.

Olga stretched out on Sis' desk ... while Sis set up her fan to help cool her off. Olga was pretty hot and cranky after been cooped up for so long but started to feel better after she and Sis chatted ... got to know one another ... bonded, if you will.

Ahhhh ... relief. Air. Nicely blowing through her lace. Ahhh.....

Pretty cool fan, eh? Olga's quite happy there and her cups fit quite nicely on top of it don't ya think? That's where she spent the evening ... drifting in and out of dreamland. Resting up for the shenanigans that will surely ensue once the travels get under way.

Check out Olga the Traveling Bra for more on her new diggs!

Awaiting Olga's Arival

Any day now Olga the Traveling Bra arrives on my doorstep. I can hardly wait!

I first met Olga (err...or her blog mistress) about a year ago. It seemed we had similar taste in blogs and quite often ended up 'following' each other all over blog world. It was purely random but it was kind of funny!

Over time we started commenting to each other how odd it was that we kept running into each other that way ... and eventually we started visiting each others blogs regularly. I fell in love with Olga's style and wit ... and her puns. She's very punny. Plus I enjoyed reading about all her travels ... she sure gets around!

Over the past year we've become friends and have shared many late night chats through emails, blog comments and twitter. We weathered a few storms that only bloggers could encounter in blog world and she was totally supportive throughout. Supportive is her middle name, I think ... well, it's definitely part of her job description as a bra.

And now, here we are ... finally about to meet! Well, Olga the Traveling Bra is about to meet me ... if only we could fit her blog mistress into that FedEx package. That would be cool! Maybe someday we'll actually get to meet in person ... that would be wonderful!

For an idea of how some of our late night chats go ... check out:
