The Pregnant Goldfish (or Shut up you Twit!) whatever you want to call us, is a Canadian street style blog, based primarily out of Montreal, and sometimes the other wonderful cities that we travel to. We take pictures of what we find interesting, fashionable, funny, cute, hot, or just plain stupid. Since 2007, when the site was started by Alison Cohen, Marilis Cardinal and Dane Gerus, The Pregnant Goldfish has grown into one of the leading sources for Canadian street fashion photography.
This is not just only stranger street style! We like to include outfits we put together, on us, documenting our daily lives. As well as our friends!!!!
Shut Up you Twit!
One lonely night, two kids sat at a water fountain debating what to do with their time. They decided to join their knowledge and love for aimless wanderin g to create a street style blog. While the two were excitedly discussing the prospect, a bushy-haired, middle-aged woman walked by and spat ”Shut up you twit!” which then became the name to the blog. While the idea was still brewing in these young kids’ mind, a friend offered the information that ”twit” was the name for a pregnant goldfish. Such information surely deserved a treat. So then they were three.
We are the Pregnant Goldfish, and we have a lot to say about nothing.
We live in Montreal, we like to talk about friends, but we love to talk about strangers.
Alison Cohen
Alison likes made up animals. The only exception to this, is her love for horsies. She likes logic games and using both sides of her brain at the same time. This explains her stutter.
Dane Gerus
DaneGerus is dangerous. He is the only person every to be banned for life from Blizzarts. Dane lives at home with his 25 cats and Jesus and plans his days based on what the fortune cookies found around his house tell him to do.
Marilis Cardinal
Marilis is a walking accident. She is really cute all the time, and even cuter when she falls. We have recently attributed her extreme clumsiness to a lack of depth of field in her vision. We hope this will improve some time in the near future for all of our sakes.

Stumbled upon your blog a week ago and decided to come back. Not for the articles you write, but for how you write them, really amazing stuff you’re doing here, i like how you put information into the articles which makes it much more easier to read and much more interesting of course. Keep up the good work!

Random Thoughts right before Monday « Miss Malini
[…] So in the process of gathering “twit trivia” I discovered a fascinating blog called pregnantgoldfish.wordpress.com. This is what it looks like when transformers have to go pee […]

Hello.
I am the news editor for an online arts, culture, food and fashion magazine in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada called The Dinner Jacket. We have only been around less than a year and are being viewed in over 60 countries.
In each issue we would like to include street style fashion photos of what people are wearing in different parts of the world.
I enjoyed The Pregnant Goldfish and was wondering if you would like to submit 12 photos of the fashions in your city?
The photographer would be credited and we would provide a link to your blog or your e-mail. As for our policy for photos we ask that unpublished material be submitted. From then on we ask to share copyright, meaning we can’t sell the images to anyone and and you can post them on your own blog as soon as our issue comes out. If the photos are posted anywhere else we ask the magazine be credited for publishing when you show the work (just a small caption under the pic stating “The Dinner Jacket, [month][year]”).
The photos must be high resolution.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Thank you.

Alison,
I am looking for a picture of Cary Tauben. Can you share one with me for print in a guide to Toronto Fashion Week. No money but a tiny bit of glory, and otherwise Cary is not seen.
