Pole dancing is great aerobic exercise and does NOT mean your learning to be a stripper.  If your mature enough, aerobic pole dance is a great workout, liberating and empowering.  It makes every woman feel like the sexy devil she should, no matter her age, shape or size.  And I for one think that’s fantastic.

Sometimes I wonder if we shouldn’t be spending less time criticizing others choices, but rather taking a good hard look at ourselves.  And this is definitely one area that thats the case. When I’m in my coaching sessions, Jennifer doesn’t fixate on how I can change and criticize the people around me, but rather on self exploration. If you equate every gal that pole dances with a stripper, then I query your worldly views on women. If you equate all pole dancing with stripping then I question if this is not how you look at women.

I for one do pole dance for exercise and for fun.  Does that make me a stripper?  Absolutely not.  I am an educated woman and I know many other educated women that also enjoy pole dancing.

To be honest, its exhilarating.  It takes part of me back to the monkey bars in the playground and the other part of me it helps to remind me of what beautiful and sexy creatures we women are.  Very empowering!

Am I embarrassed to have taken aerobic pole dancing classes?  Absolutely not.  My parents know.  They think its funny.  I’ve even shown them a few dance moves and my Mom wrote about it in the family Christmas Card. And I can tell you I come from a highly educated family, where manners are paramount, so don’t even suggest its in poor taste.

So in future, before criticizing, might I suggest that you try what your passing judgment on first (unless of course, it’s illegal).

Haven’t heard of Crime Pays?  Well it is THE event to be at in Van City on Monday evening, March 16th.  Here are the details:

Who: The Shebeen Club and the Federation of BC Writers

What: a wicked good fundraiser for the Fed

When: Monday, March 16th, 6-9pm

Where: The Vancouver Police Museum, 240 East Cordova Street, Vancouver

Why: it would be criminal to miss this party!

Wanted: YOU!

Come help the Fed celebrate 32 years of getting away with murder. Whether infiltrating schools, divvying up swag, or distributing subversive publications, the Federation of BC Writers has been operating unchecked in our province for decades.

Do you enjoy the vicarious thrill of rubbing shoulder pads with the Lost Literati of the Wild West surrounded by all manner of murder and mayhem in the cozy confines of the police museum? Do you have what it takes to make your bones as a Fed member? There’s only one way to find out! Come out to the party and make us an offer we can’t refuse.

Admission: $20 donation includes a drink and appetizers. Click here to register. If you won’t be attending, but would like to support the Fed with a donation, click here to donate via the raincoaster media Paypal.

It’s shaping up to be quite the night with a dress code that includes trench coats and fedoras, deerstalkers and capes, jail house stripes, uniforms, Bond Villain suits or femme fatal slink wear. Am rather sad that I’m out of town and missing the night, but expecting you cats to have a grand old time without me.  I am just begging you all to please, please bid on me.  Desperately hoping to go for more than $10.

Oh and a huge thank you to Lorraine Murphy for organizing this fabulous night!

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

Sexy in Vancity Radio

My good friend Kittyn has recently partnered up with former JuiceBox Radio host, Caroline MacGillivray, to launch a new radio show, Sexy in Vancity Radio.  Congratulations gals!!  Very exciting!!!

Former JuiceBox Radio producer and host, Caroline MacGillivray talks about all things sexy in Vancity. An entertaining, engaging and educational show airs on citr 101.9fm on Wednesday nights at 10pm PST.

So guess whose been asked to be a guest on the debut episode?  That’s right!  Lil’ old me!!!

Join Ms. MacGillivray as she chats up one of the original www.sexyinvancity.com girls, Emme Rogers. What does it mean to be Sexy In Vancity? Emme Rogers, dubbed by Vancouver Sun’s Gillian Shaw as “Vancouver’s Version of Carrie Bradshaw” chats to Caroline about life as a single girl in Vancity, social media and her new site www.emmerogers.com.

Quite excited about it as I’ve never guest starred on radio before.

Apparently other tangents might include:

• How to make to turn online time into face to face romantic time.
• How to save yourself from online addiction before it ruins your relationship.

Not sure that I have ever had online addiction ruin my relationships, but I love to talk and am rather opinionated, so I am sure I’ll find something to add to the conversation.

Don’t forget to tune into tonight.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo
