Mid Week Pantie Choir

October 12, 2010 By 4 Comments

If you’re like me and working too damn hard on a Tuesday following a long weekend (why is it that after a long weekend I always feel the need to try and fit in 6 days of work into 4?), then you’re in desperate need to jump, jive and wail and shake up some sillies.  And really what better way is there to do that, then to sing along with Little Miss Higgins and the folks of Hornby Island to Bargain Shop Panties:

So don’t be shy!  Start prancing around in those Bargain Shop Panties.  I am sure no one in the office will mind.  Hell, if I were in your office I’d be hooting and hollering and encouraging you on.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

PS. Oh and remember your Little Miss Higgins Pantie Choir, so belt it out loud.

PPS. So loving the 2010 Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival for introducing me to this gal and her bargain shop panties.

A Rainy Day Pursuit for the Young Whipper Snappers

August 7, 2010 By 1 Comment

Seeing as it is a rainy day and I am lazily lounging about it my PJs, I thought I’d deliver a public service announcement to all the young whipper snappers out there.

Samsung Mobile Canada has quite a cool competition on the go for 30 young mobile enthusiasts in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.  Basically, they are giving out a brand new smartphone and service, and sending them to capture the best concerts and events this summer and fall in their city (ex. TIFF, Lady Gaga in Vancouver, etc.).  And the fun doesn’t stop there as there will be cash prizes and an online expense paid trip to Korea for a few lucky ‘mob!lers’. The deadline is fast approaching though, applications close this Wednesday August 11, 2010, so don’t you young whipper snappers be diddle daddling.

Alas, I am not eligible as this competition is only for 19 – 30 year olds out there.  I guess it is only fair to leave some of the fun to the young ‘uns.

… never fear though … for the non-whipper snappers amoungst us – old Dickie Gustin, Mr. Jones, Brie and I – are aheading for some old school blues and roots this coming weekend.  Now to set the mood, some blues from a 2010 Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival Headliner, Kenny Wayne Shepherd:

Kisses,

Emme xoxo
