Best of 604 - Miss 604 at the helm by penmachine.

Congratulations to all the winners!  Especially big congratulations to The Tyee and my pal, Mark Leiren-Young – way to go – three wins!  And an enormous congratulations to Rebecca Bollwitt, Miss 604, for organizing all of this and for putting on what I heard was THE PARTY last night in Van City. Only wish I could have been there to celebrate with all of you sexy cats!

Kisses,

Emme

PS Sizzingly sweet dress, by the way, Rebecca!!!

Clothesless in a Canadian Town

With the amount of traveling that I am doing this month it was bound to happen sooner or later and I guess it was sooner.  The airline lost my luggage.  All my luggage.  Only have my work bag on me.  To make it worse, a baby peed on me (long story) in the airport earlier, so have been waiting to arrive at my hotel to change out of my pee stained clothes.  Clearly that’s not happening.

So what’s a gal to do?  Well, first off don’t panic.  Chances are my bags will turn up somewhere in this country (any guesses where?) and will arrive at my hotel before tomorrow’s meeting.  In the mean time, thank goodness this hotel has laundry service and room service.  So you guessed it, that means I am writing this in my panties, over a hot steaming plate of food.  Life could clearly be worse.

And if the clothes don’t arrive?  Well thank goodness I’m a writer and it would not be unheard of to show up for the meeting in freshly laundered jeans. Hell – that’s probably dressing up for a meeting for a writer. Only problem, no clean underwear.  Guess I’ll be going commando tomorrow.

Night!

Emme

PS Or worst case scenario, this could be me on-route to the meeting tomorrow (although, I don’t think my breasts are quite that perky):

Shameless Self Boasting

Been feeling extra sexy and had an extra swagger in my strut the last few mornings, and not just because my Saskatchewan boys always make me feel like the Westcoast Goddess with all their great big bear hugs and shameless flattery (which is of course encouraged).  So what is the cause of the titillating spirit that is embracing my sense of being?  The Best of 604 Awards hosted by the sexy Miss 604 herself, in partnership with sixty4media, 6s Marketing, the Arts Club Theatre Company (always a lover of theatre, having grown up in one), The Cellar (I do love my jazz and these kids know how to deliver it), Kiss My Face (love the name of this company, thinking their products must be checked out and potentially highlighted on Sexy in Van City), Mount Seymour (aka one of Van City’s coolest winter date venues), Howie’s Bistro & Bar (a recipe for romance), Social Bites (an excellent way to meet new people while teasing the taste buds), Canuck & Beyond (‘The good old hockey game.  It’s the best game of the year…’), Sheila Christie (& her fabulous LunAria Designs), Magic Woodworks (being a tree hugger, wood has always been ultra sexy in my mind), and Funchico (aka ‘Funky, Chic & Cool’, because every geek’s laptop should be accessorized).

The Van City community has recently nominated their favourite blogs for The Best of 604 Awards … and drum roll please…… WE WERE NOMINATED FOR ONE!!!!!!  We’re nominated in the category of Best Group Blog or Multi-Author Site.  There are many other great blogs in the category that we’ve been nominated in, including:

There are also many of our favourite Van Sexy blogs in the other Best of 604 categories.  Go check them out and vote by midnight on December 10th PST.  If you are around on December 11th, you should come to the awards reception at The Cellar, just make sure you RSVP. Admission is by monetary donation to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.

Thanks for putting this on Rebecca!

Van Sexy Finalists

Hey all you sexy things,

Just dropping a quick line to fill you in on the finalists for the 2008 Canadian Blog Awards.  Have to admit that the result of Round 1 hit me with a mixture of pleasure and pain (and no, sadly not the good kind of pain).  The sad note is that 12 of the Van Sexy Blogs did not make it out of Round One, including a few Van Sexy Blogged About Bloggers.  The good news: 8 Van Sexy Blogs did make the final round of the 2008 Canadian Blog Awards.

Drum Roll please ….

The finalist are:

Best Blog

Best Cultural / Entertainment Blog

Best Humor Blog

Best Local Blog

Best Personal Blog

Best Podcaster/Vlogger

Best Professional/Career Blog

Congratulations to all the finalists!

To the rest of you sexy devils.  Go vote.  Voting closes on Saturday December 6th.

Calling All Digital Storytellers

Was speaking with two of my favourite Van Sexies last weekend, Bridging Media gals – Megan Cole and Erica Hargreave – and they asked me to spread the word on the Women in Film Festivals New Media Award organized by Maayan Cohen and Danika Dinsmore of Women In Film and Television.  The deadline for submissions is tomorrow, Friday December 5th.

If you are using emerging technologies to tell a story and a third of of your key positions are held by women – submit!!!  It’s free and totally painless.  And if you win, it gives me yet another sexy and savvy storyteller to blog about.
