We’re so close we call each other inces­tors,” Chanté says. They dis­cuss how peo­ple often mis­take their inti­macy for a roman­tic relationship.

“When we’re out the bar­tender will say, ‘Your girl­friend already ordered you a shot’ and I say, ‘No, that’s my sis­ter,’” Danielle laughs.

“And they don’t mean girl­friend as in, my girl friend. They mean les­bian lover,” adds Chanté.

So the provin­cial gov­ern­ment has announced its plans to clear-cut fund­ing to the arts over the next few years. From a pro­jected $42 mil­lion in 2009/2010 to just over $3.5 mil­lion head­ing into 2012—that’s a loss of roughly ninety per­cent, a true decimation.

Yeah, well, big whoop. Arts cuts? More like farts cuts.

I started col­lect­ing around the time that I was eight years old: light­ing fix­tures, door hard­ware, and plumb­ing fixtures—top of the line stuff from 1850 to about 1920. My par­ents thought I was crazy. I remem­ber lit­er­ally break­ing into houses and steal­ing door­knobs and lights, but that was at a time when the houses that were derelict were just derelict and no one cared.
