With reference to this old thread....

quote:
A tiny eatery decorated almost completely in black and white is creating a big buzz in Toronto but it's not the decor getting attention -- it's the servers, who all wear French maid outfits.

With servers in black mini-skirts, long socks and white aprons, the cafe is believed to be the first in Canada to mimic the cartoon-inspired restaurants devoted to "costume play", or cosplay, that first appeared in Japan a few years ago.

They'd better post plenty of disclaimers that the "maids" don't actually clean houses. Because I'm sure the Canadian Maid Association is going to sue them because patrons might be confused into thinking they can get their house cleaned at this eatery.

IIRC, it wasn't the shoe bomber's loud prayers that sparked the takedown by the other passengers; it was that he was trying to light his shoe on fire. Very, very different. Canuckistan

Is there really such a thing as the Canadian Maid Association? Just curious. (I tried Googling for it, no dice.)
