Forbidden Treat

January 4, 2010 By Emme 5 Comments

In lieu of the fact that most of you are back slogging away in an office somewhere, I decided to lighten up your first week back with some free tickets to the theatre!  Okay, Fighting Chance Productions gave me the tickets to give to you, but I’ve decided to take all the credit as the hero cause I’m just that kind of girl.

What are the tickets for you ask?

For a Fighting Chance Productions, rendition of Forbidden Broadway!  If you’re not familiar with this show, it is Gerard Alessandri’s spoof of musical theatre, taking a poke or two at a number of much loved Broadway Productions, including Wicked, Mamma Mia, Annie, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, and Hairspray.

I for one am greatly looking forward to a few chuckles to ring in the New Year. Also looking forward to being entertained by some Van City talent, including Andrea Bailey, Natalee Fera, Aaron Lau, David Nicks and Cathy Wilmot.

So how do you win?

I have a pair of tickets to give away to this Thursday night’s performance.  To enter to win, check out a Fighting Chance Productions site and comment below with the name of one other production that they are putting on in 2010, by midnight tonight PST.

It’s as simple as that.  I will stick the names of everyone who answered correctly in a hat and draw a name at random for the pair of tickets. The winner will be announced on my blog first thing Tuesday morning.

Just make sure if you enter, that you and your guest can be at Pal Theatre (581 Cardero St, Vancouver) no later than 7:30 pm on Thursday night, January 7th.

If you don’t win, don’t fret. This is not the only performance. The show continues until January 16th and I will be posting a review on my site after I see it. Tickets are available here.

Happy Monday!

Hey all you sexy things,

Sorry about being a few days late on posting our Reading is Sexy 2010 Calendar Contest. Exhausting week. At any rate, here it is!!

So here are the deets, I am giving away a 2010 Reading is Sexy Calendar to the first person that answers all the salacious shoot questions below correctly, or in lieu of that, to the person that gets the most correct answers.  AND I am giving a second calendar away to the person whose answers make me laugh the hardest – causing laughing is sexy too. And don’t worry a donation on both of these calendars will still be going to The International Dyslexia Association, as our friends at Ahimsa Media are chipping in all the donations on the contest and promotional calendars.

The contest is open until our Launch Party and Literary Celebration on Thursday December 3rd.

To enter, just submit a comment below with your guesses.

Now what you’ve all being waiting for, the Salacious Shoot Questions:

  1. Who bore it all for the camera?
  2. In whose home did we discover a penis piggy (that’s a piggy bank – get your minds out of the gutter)?
  3. Who took their pants off, in secret, during shooting, and laughed as the rest of us were oblivious?
  4. Who asked ‘where they should put their FILTHY hands’?
  5. Who wormed their way into my shot?
  6. Who did I crawl into bed with (on a shoot)?
  7. Whose bed did I crawl into on the aforementioned shoot?
  8. On whose shoot, did we have joggers hooting and hollering at us?
  9. Whose shoot went all through the night?
  10. Who flashed me on their doorstep in broad daylight?
  11. Whose phrase of ‘God Bless their cotton socks’ still has Rob and I smirking?
  12. What was polished off whilst shooting Mr. May in the Playboy Mansion?
  13. What tied up Ms October on a shoot?
  14. Who else wore a frilly apron, whilst shooting, aside from yours truly?
  15. Who became a voyeuristic attraction for tourists on their shoot?

Oh and I little hint, most of the answers to the aforementioned questions can be found in our various social media feeds tagged with #ReadingisSexy.  I also fully encourage the harassment of the various models, using twitter, for answers – @somisguided, @iheartgudrun, @hummingbird604, @IanAMartin, @raincoaster, @greenpieces and @monicahamburg.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

Cat Fights, Love Letters & a Winter Date Write Off

February 2, 2009 By Emme 5 Comments

Okay after some hissing, yowling, spitting, and scratching we have come to a compromise.

Meow – FFR here.

Hey Fuzzy ….ouch ….okay Fab Feline Royale it is then – just don’t swat my writing hands, these are what pay for your top of the market, gourmet kitty chow.  Okay everyone, ‘FFR’ wants you to know that all the hissing, yowling, spitting and scratching came from Kittyn, who apparently is having issues about being told she is no longer the top cat in these parts. My official statement, however, is one of gushing pride that my fuzzy, little child is so brilliant as to learn how to type and write English. OUCH…. okay, okay ‘FFR’, I will stop gushing, but there is NO WAY I am referring to you as the Master.

So we digress, our compromise, post cat fight from the two divas – is that it is now ‘Love Letter to the gals & Goddes… OUCH…..Okay ….’Love Letters to the Goddess & gals‘ …. and NO ‘FFR’, I am NOT putting ‘& gals’ in brackets.

To encourage you cats to write us cats loads of Valentines, we have a new contest announcement.  Cypress Mountain has given us four passes for the Chocolate Fondue Snowshoe Tour. Thanks Cypress! Apparently Lola & ‘FFR’ don’t do snow, so Kittyn & I are giving away two dates to two lucky Vancouverites to join us this coming Saturday night – February 7th.  Yes – apparently this is the only way we can get dates, we’re not dwelling on that though.

Heres how to win.  Write a love letter to any of us …..OUCH….. NO I am not saying to the Goddess – your not even coming on the date .. thats to any of us – the Goddess (see I mentioned you first). Kittyn, Lola or myself by Thursday noon.  We will then select our two favorite love letters to accompany us on the date.  We’ll announce this by midnight Thursday.

Send your love letters to: goddess@sexyinvancity.com, kittyn@sexyinvancity.com, lola@sexyinvancity.com or emme@sexyinvancity.com and we will post them. Alternatively you can send them via twitter, facebook or flickr (yes that means carefully selected photos will be considered love letters too).

Oh and ladies – you’re eligible too.  A Dose of Lunacy? Madame Strutt? Canadian Coal Girl?  You know you sexy things are just dying to go on a date with me – so get writing.

Vote for your Favorite Holiday Pics

Hey all you delightfully sexy things,

Merry Christmas by Lola May.

I have been a little remiss in announcing the finalist photos in the running for the brand new $300 Fujifilm Finepix S2000HD digital camera that is currently sitting on my desk.  Not sure if my excuse is that I have been working too much this week or that I am just reticent about giving away such a fine camera to the winner. Huge thanks to Get on the F List for donating the camera and thus putting me in this current state of longing.

At any rate, I do need your help in selecting a winner for this rather desirable camera, as the competition is too damn stiff for me to do it on my own.  So have a look through the photos and vote on your favourites either in the comments of this post (ie *mistletoe kisses* to #x #y #z) or in the comments under the photos in our group pool on ‘A Very Sexy Christmas‘ on flickr.

Voting Rules are as follows:

  • Voting is open until midnight PST Thursday January 15th.
  • You can vote as many times as you like on the photos that you enjoy – funny, sexy or just because it makes you smile.
  • Only restrictions are that you don’t vote on the same photo twice and that you don’t vote for your own photo.
  • Photos eligible to win include any by:

@davegolden
@brilliant girl
@mattsimpson.name
@•°o•°o Gina •°o•°o
@JustFab

  • To vote, comment on the photo with a:

*kisses* or

*mistletoe kisses* or

*You’ve been kissed by ‘A Very Sexy Christmas’*

Don’t worry the contestants know this is how voting is done and won’t think your hitting on them. If you do want to hit on them you will have to think of another clever way to do so.
