back to the hotel to get ready for the evening

melodie got a sexy new short cut. hawt!

our chariot for the night was a massive limo disco bus (like the ones 905’ers get to come downtown!)

we had a massive area for our crew at this club calle BAINS DOUCHES. haha. these hot ladies danced sexy burlesque for us. rrrrrarrrrrrr. one of the girls is from TO and would like me to come to her class. i like this idea.

HAPY NEW YEAR! 2011 OMG!

this giant 6’5″ 19 year old may have kissed me at midnight

we had a photographer so i didn’t take many photos of our party

i came back from the club earlier than the rest and made use of our awesomely huge tub

our suite was pretty awesome, well except that it was 911. bad sign, gah 9/11?  bathroom is behind blue curtain.

had a great sleep, woke up and hung out with myself around the hotel lobby

looked at the beautiful & modern art displayed by an artiste named TONE

then i went to the Away Spa @ W Montreal for a massage and a lovely breakfast

post brekky i met up with the rest of the crew and prepared for departure…

and finally… I share this with you beacause it is pretty freaking AWESOME. Posted details on tumblr.

It’s not as easy as you think. I drew the images on iPad then uploaded to FB. They had to be cropped and edited etc., took a bit longer than I thought but was good practie.There’s some real creative ones on Techcrunch and Mashable.

our NYE adventure started out with a lovely lunch breifing at Mercatto in TO. andrew & monoka gave us all the deets incuding fancy dinners, clubs, limo rides, shopping, plus hair & spa appointments.

we like this

all ma ladies melodie, raymi, monika

post lunch we hopped into cabs to the island airport and caught a 4:30 on Porter to MTL

by the time we left the plane was full and were were so loud and excited. i’m sure everyone hated us.

a limo picked us up and from P.E. Trudeau airport & took us to our new home, the W Montreal

beautiful hotel, go there next time you are in MTL.

i was in love with the art they have displayed right now. reminded me of a fine toronto artist, HINTO.

W Montreal has cult cloaks for smoking in cold weather. they think of everything!

heck yeah party time. thanks INQ mobile 🙂

Watch this:

I watched it last night as I had a lovely bath in my suite at the W Montreal. It really got me thinking about sharing of content online. Living in public. It opened a few windows in my mind that lead to doors with ideas behind them. I’ve got lots to share with you this year my friends.

Happy New Year!

* pix from INQ NYE shenanegans tomorrow

We’re having a five course dinner. There’s twenty of us. The food is just divine. We arrived in a huge disco limo bus with a bar in it.

I packed a confetti popper in my purse for later! Hazaaaaa!

Happy New Year friends!

(Resto is beauty, snapped that pic before the 8:30 seating!)

Having the most fun. We are quite a hilarious bunch. Flight was short and we were quite loud which made it even more hilarious. We clapped at the end, y’know like how people sometimes do when you go on vacation?? Yes. Funny.

The W Hotel Montreal is so beautiful. It’s my first time staying at this one. Went to Wunderbar the club here last night. The INQ Team is treating us really great, had bottle service and a nice dinner before hand. Brekky this AM with the whole crew, there’s about 15 people in the #INQNYE group, us, couple peeps from Strategic Objectives and contest winners.

Spent some time shopping morning then I ventured out on a massive walk around downtown Montreal. Was nice to have a little self time before tonight. It is going to be INSANE, the whole place is open bar and we have a section to ourselves, a bodyguard (Frank Farmer?), and a massive limo for the night. Dinner is at a fancy place too.

This is the life. This is my life, aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

In other news, I’m blogging from iPad and it’s not going as well as planned. Adding photos is harrrrrrd. So many good ones to share too. Gah, getting me frustrrrrrrated. Check Raymi’s blog to see pix until I figure this crap out. Rarrrrrr.

I need a nap before tonight for sure. Ok bye xoxo
