80?s Prom Anyone?

By now it should not come as a surprise to any of you that I have an affinity to the whackie and zany.  So when I got invited to an 80′s Prom this Friday, my answer was Hell Yeah!!!  Dragging @clippernolan along as my Prom Date, as really any man that will dress up in PJs and would go to a party with me at the Opus, I figure would also be man enough to don a tacky Prom suit and escort me for the evening in whatever ridiculous party dress I decide to don.  And so not to subject Rob to my antics all on his own, I have pair of tickets to give away to one reader.

Oh and don’t worry, you don’t actually have to dance with me or dance at all, as this is actually a Fighting Chance Production in the style of Tony n’ Tina’s wedding.  A little background on what to expect:

The Awesome 80s Prom is a brand new blast-from-the-past party in the style of Tony ‘n Tina’s Wedding set at Wanaget High’s Senior Prom… in 1989! All your favorite characters from your favorite ’80s movies are at THE PROM, from the Captain of the Football Team to the Asian Exchange Student, from the Geek to the hottie Head Cheerleader, and they’re all competing for Prom King and Queen. And just like on “American Idol”, the audience decides who wins! Come back in time and join the breakdance circle or just sit back and watch the ’80s drama unfold.

To win a pair of tickets, tweet, facebook or email (emme@emmerogers.com) me with a pic of you at a Prom (or some sort of similar scene) by tonight (Thurs March 18th) at 8 pm and I will announce a winner by 9 pm.

And never fear, if you don’t win a pair of tickets, you don’t need to miss the prom. You can get your Prom tickets here for either Friday March 19th or Saturday March 20th at 7:30 pm.

Can’t wait to see your Prom pics!

My 2010 New Year’s Resolution

Some of you may have noticed that the Autumn of 2009 got a wee bit unhealthy for me. I worked too hard and didn’t take care of me, despite reminders from Jennifer and Rob that my well being was the most important thing at the end of day.  I did hear them, but their would always a more pressing matter that needed my attention whenever I’d scheduled ‘me time’, and as a result I ignored my needs.  I didn’t get enough fresh air, exercise or eat as healthily as I normally do.

I am resolving to change this in the New Year.  I have to change this in the New Year for my own health.  You see, all that unhealthy living has resulted in my feeling quite uncomfortable, as my belly has grown uncomfortably large, and the good doctor tells me it is dangerous for ones heart to carry too much around your waist.

This doesn’t change my philosophies on body images. I still don’t believe in dieting, but rather am a fan of healthy living, including good food and exercise. And I think bodies of all shapes, sizes and ages can be beautiful and sexy. My body, however, is feeling uncomfortable and unhealthy to me, so it’s time for a change and hence, a New Year’s Resolution.

Week 1 - side

My New Year’s Resolution: To return to my normally toned and healthy feeling self.

How: By getting fresh air and exercise at least 6 days a week and eating healthily.

Evaluation: To stick to my goals, stay on task and for added incentive, I will be photo documenting this New Year’s resolution every two weeks on flickr. Come cheer me on.

Any of you that have New Year’s Resolutions of your own and want a bit of incentive, accountability and support, come and join the 2010 New Year’s Resolution Group I’ve set up on flickr.

Love and Light,

Emme xoxo

Wednesday Morning Silliness

For a little week morning silliness, @rott1058 has a twitpoll going for my Halloween costume.  Apparently he and clippernolan think I should dress as Emma Peel from The Avengers.

Must say, I am quite flattered.  Although I do think this is just about the two of them seeing me clad from head to toe in leather.

PS And yes Christian, I can totally tell which vote was yours! ;-)

PJ Party Pics

Had a great time at the PJ Party on Saturday night with @clippernolan and thought that maybe, just some of you, might enjoy the pics, so here they are:

Huge thank you to the JetSet Crew, Frances Hui and the Opus Hotel!  You cats really know how to throw a great party!  Oh and wondering if any of the chocolatiers at the Opus Hotel are single?  Going to bed fantasizing about that heavenly chocolate every night.
