Amber Goodwyn's Got Gingham

"Summer Breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the Gingham in my mind..."

2nd December, 2011 (Montreal) There's still lots of profiles to post here at Got Gingham, unfortunately we are now into our the third week of our industrial dispute with our writers. In the meantime there's still plenty of Gingham to go around. Here we have Amber Goodwyn in a Prairie Red Gingham Surprise worn during the summer time and lifted off her wonderful website [see here]. As things chill down towards the holidays, seeing this luscious pic from warmer days makes us all excited for next summer. Thanks to Amber Goodwyn and another major contribution to the Gingham Nation.

More Montreal Street Scenes From Last Summer

Drop-shadow Philadelphia-Style Gingham is becoming more and more acceptable.

As things cool down, thicker-twill Gingham comes out in droves.

And then it warms up again...

Amazing that in November, some Montrealers are warm enough in just Gingham.

These Streets were made for Gingham

UPDATE FROM EXPOZINE:
Thanks to geekorner.com for getting this great shot of Gingham from the makers of Ribbon Pig [see more here].

Ethan Rilly Has Got Gingham @expozine, Rilly Now.

Ethan Rilly's creations capture our imagination... "Oh wait, hey man, you got Gingham! Here's ten bucks."

29th November, 2011 (Montreal) Meet Ethan Rilly. Like a lot of Cartoon Wizards, he prefers his work to do the show and tell rather than his face. But trust us, he's got a great face, he just didn't want us to see it. Luckily for us, he's also got Gingham. At Expozine in Montreal last week to satisfy the high demand for his latest edition of Pope Hats [see here] Ethan obviously knows how to increase his sales. Some estimates put last weekend's attendance at nearly 10,000 nutters looking for art books making this Montreal edition second after New York, London and Berlin (which is cooler than saying it's the fourth biggest in the world). Those who could squeeze through and get some elbow room were able to check out the Fine-Hatch Gingham Captain Take-off Shirt Ethan hides behind. This is the sort of material careers are made of. It helps to have an award-worthy book on the shelf, but what's the point if you ain't got Gingham? Thanks Ethan, nice to meet you, would love to stop and chat but we've got some serious reading of Pope Hats to catch up on.

SHERWIN TJIA'S FANS PREFER GINGHAM!

Tjia's book launch was of the choose your own adventure variety yet in the end his fans really have no choice, it's gotta be Gingham.

23rd November, 2011 (Montreal) Sherwin Tjia held his long awaited launch for his latest picture book You Are A Cat at Drawn & Quarterly [see here] in the Mile-End of Montreal earlier this month. Due to our current writers' strike here at Got Gingham we have had to get management out on the streets to cobble together a bit of content until this ugly dispute gets settled. Where better to go than to the Story-telling Summit of D @ Q on a Thursday night? Check out the scene, here is Sherwin waxing forth about his amazing smash hit published by Conundrum Press [see here], the crowd is being dazzled yet what do we have? Gingham Junction! Sherwin not only knows how to draw, tell stories and attract the most beautiful women in the city to a single spot on the floor... the man brings home the Gingham. Check out this Purple Passion hoodie with the double-mix Black and White Gingham lining. Every cloud in the sky should get one.Thanks Mr. Tjia, you've got classy, sophisticated followers and we are right behind them in the bandwagon.

Walk this way, if you're heading to Gingham Junction.

  

TJIA FANS ON THE WAY TO THE LAUNCH:

Tjia's fans come from all walks of life. Some even have trucks. Most have Gingham

Calm before the storm: last of the autumn Gingham shots to celebrate You Are a Cat.

James Baldwin In Gingham Defying Writers' Strike Boycott

"I'm not a scab, this is a public service."

16th November, 2011 (Montreal) We have to thank our contributing Gingham Getter Alex from the Queen City. While our writers dispute enters it's second week of infighting and work disruptions (our writers are even threatening to stop wearing Gingham!) she's been out on the front lines identifying some Gingham content for our desperate Gingham Getters. Check out this vid of James Baldwin that Alex has recommended. Perfect style and what a way with words. Makes us want to settle this writers' dispute right away.

"...The arbitrary nature of time and the limits it sets to your endeavour, are contained in two words: THE END."

GOT GINGHAM IS STILL HERE

"I can't wait more than a week for Got Gingham."

14th November, 2011 (Montreal) Got Gingham will be back soon with more Gingham Gets. In the meantime here are some moving images done by people who might have no idea what to do with a pen and paper if it were to strike them in the ear.  We especially love the Gingham Wedding, finally giving this writer a real reason to go out and get married!

Got any Gingham? Getting married? Use it.

VICHY SURE CAN BREAK THE ICE BUT MARIE-LYNE WILL MELT IT off the hook!

Our keyboard is on fire so we have to leave the office now, please read on...

7th November, 2011 (Montreal) Autumn is out and in full glory now that Day Light Savings Time has kicked in and the sun goes down before dinner time. Away go the shorts and the winky-dink t-shirts and time to bring on the real deal. The coming of winter in Montreal or anywhere north of the Mason Dixon Line means keeping your edge while all about you fall in the muck. That's where our model Marie-Lyne comes in. You don't get to where she is today by carrying around some mamby-pamby sit-on-the-fence attitude. Seeing Marie-Lyne you know she lives and breathes the words freedom and control which is the magic combination seekers the world over have troubled themselves with down the ages. Not Marie-Lyne. She proves it in this dazzling NYC-Style Gingham Autumn Whiplasher she must have stolen from Off the Hook, that famous boutique on Ste-Catherine Street [see here]. We use the word stolen here because no matter what she paid to our friend Angelo and the gang, it wasn't enough. Thanks Marie-Lyne, you are well and truly OTH.
