text: I believe that context is really the deciding factor in experiencing a place like Princesses Located about minutes outside of the downtown core of Montreal near Olympic stadium Princesses is a greasy spoon style diner that has one unique specialty two words that are all it takes for my interest to be piqued Topless Breakfast Seems hilarious rightnnIts an interesting juxtaposition to say the least We went just after noon on a Sunday hungry for our first meal of the day and we were greeted by Waitresses that were as advertised topless There was also one fully dressed man who had a commanding presence and quite the leer about him I suppose his stink eye is to keep potential trouble makers in check but still it is hard to enjoy your eggs and get an eyefull of the scenery when you are getting an eyefull of your own from someone elsennThis is where context comes into play It was a lot of nudity for that early in the morning I was hungry and totally sober so it was pretty strange Add to that the fact that it was the capper to a day weekend celebrating my friend Daniels last days of Bachlordom If we had gone to Princesses first thing I am sure we could have sat their giggling and pointing like school children when their teacher tells them about puberty but that late into the weekend so much had already been seen and done and been done to us We had sort of been desensitized to it It was more or less business as usual at our breakfast table Giddy giggling and knowning glances were replaced with aloof requests for more ketchup It is sort of like if you had been wearing XRay Spex all weekend after a while you would just order your coffee refill and not even bat an eye at someone is junk as they give it to younnThe food itself was passable diner fare As tasty as they looked I opted out of the traditional breakfast and had a burger which was good but nothing exceptional Service was decent the waitresses were friendly and Coffee was refilled semiregularly Also to Princesses credit I was impressed that one of our waitresses was still working there despite being visibly pregnant if by some chance she is reading this and by another chance and is not actually pregnant then I am really really totally fucking sorry I do not imagine that would happen at many other establishments where toplessness was a requirementnnOverall Princesses was a one of a kind experience A better name for it might be Emperors new diner or maybe just The Emperors because nobody seemed to even acknowledge the toplessness It reminded me of the TorontoProduced Naked News that made a splash on the internet a few years ago There Is nudity but once you are there it is not at all the focus So if it is the morning and you have got a rumble in your tummy and a hankering for some present albeit understated nudity this is your spot
