Burgundy Lion's Got Gingham for CHELSEA EURO TRIUMPH

Trust us, the girl at the end of the bar is wearing Gingham in Bayern colours.
A closer look proves the rule.
25th May, Twenty-twelve (Montreal) Plenty of reason to step outside this weekend. Best one is to show off all your Gingham you Got. Check Trin here, sitting at the Burgundy Lion [see here] watching the Gingham go around. He's wearing a Chelsea Shirt in celebration of last week's huge match in Munich for the visit of Chelsea in the European Champions League Final. Winning an extraordinary game, fans of the Blues will be celebrating all summer long.

Stay tuned for Monday's bumper MONTREAL MAPLE SPRING GINGHAM UPRISING feature. The world is watching Montreal right now as it's streets are filled with people adorning the famous "Red Square" in defiance of Law 78, that was fast-tracked by the Provincial Government in an effort to tighten the reign on public order.

HAPPY PEOPLE RETURN TO GOT GINGHAM

Some people like to mix it up in the mainstream. Others just want to lull among the eddies.

8th May, Twenty-Twelve (Montreal) Now that the news cycle has moved on and getting run down by a taxi has slid off the front page and been replaced by stories about people being thrown from horses and dropping from hang gliders (in which nobody happened to be wearing any Gingham) it's time for Got Gingham to get back to what it does best: gettin' Gingham with something to smile about.
For example, check Eddie here. On his way to the Tam-tams, you've seen this guy before. You've been outside the club or seen him on the dance floor and this is the guy who walks past you grinning and you wonder who he is. Now you know. He is Eddie and he's Got Gingham.

Sitting on this makes for perfect carpet-bagging.

All smiles when you're friend's Got Gingham.

This guy quit while he was still a head.

More people are wearing red these days. Just look around. Who cares? He's Got Gingham!
