Original Wall Title Was: Calvin
(A Note Here): Hey guys, John shared a story with me on how and why this Wallpaper was created and I loved the story has much as I do this wall and I thought just maybe many of you would also, so with this said, here is John's story....
Years ago I was the assistant manager of the Ottawa Club baths, we were owed by very nice guy, who had a black boyfriend, Calvin was his name, a good looking man and well hung.
We were given instructions, whenever Calvin came to the baths, he got in free, he got a room for however long he wanted it free, he got everything free other than alcohol.
One time he came in and was giving me a hard time because there were no rooms available and he wanted me to kick someone out so he could have a room and I refused, so we got into a bit of an argument.
I finally said to him that in all the years I had worked there and the others on staff, he had never said hello, please or thank you, good night, merry Christmas etc.
He looked at me and said, “but you are just a minimum wage clerk, why would I speak to you?”, I looked at him and said “but you are just a male prostitute”.
No I did not get fired. However I did go home a made this wall in honour of Calvin.
