My Movember

Admittedly, Movember has left me a rather confused young lady.  You see, being rather fond of the prostrate, I wanted to do my part to save it, but I’ve never grown a beard before and didn’t really know where to start.  Yes, yes, before you start protesting at me, I know, its suppose to be a Mo, not a beard, but the only facial hair I’ve ever been able to grow is the odd hair in my chinny, chin, chin, so let a gal dream will yeah.  So try as I might, I was in a similar conundrum as Debs Anne

… I just wish I had the singing and dancing fairy mo father.

Without a fairy Mo father, I tried growing my pits and then my legs … yes, once again, not mos, and not at all conducive to my dating life, which has resulted in an increased use of the razor then the rest of the year.  For one scary moment I actually considered a merkin for my upper lip, thanks to a man that puts far too many warped ideas in my head.  Yes, HR, that will amount to a few more of my therapy bills for you to cover. And before I knew it it was November 30th with no Mo to show.

No mo, but the confusing reality that I find mos on women so much sexier than mos on men. I mean I sat at work today horrified by the parade of creepy looking men sporting mos past me (amazing how few can pull them off), yet everywhere I look online these days, I keep seeing hot, hot women sporting their mos in-style. I gotta grow me a mo next year.

In the meantime, here’s my pick for donating.

Sinfully Delightful

I’m always looking  for idealistic settings and inspiration for my stories, so when I was recently invited by the Vancouver Police Museum to join them on their ‘Sins of the City’ Walking Tour I jumped at the opportunity.  And I wasn’t disappointed.

While, probably not the ideal setting for my stories, the Vancouver Police Museum has been the ideal setting for many other stories over the years, including ’21 Jump Street’, ‘MacGyver’, ‘Masters of Horror’ and many other local productions. Situated in the old city morgue, theres an eeriness to the place that leaves one in a conundrum of secretly wishing the walls could talk and tell all of the building stories, whilst being terrified at what they might say.  Now while the walls can’t talk, or at least they haven’t to me yet, the museum executive director, Chris Mathieson loves to talk and the stories that come out of his mouth are absolutely fascinating.  I could listen to him tell his tales all day, all be it a little bit more gruesome and sordid than those I tend to tell. If your over the age of 18, just ask him about the ping pong ball or better yet, the birthday blower.

The exciting thing about the ‘Sins of the City’ Tour is it takes you beyond the walls of the morgue and into the streets,  specifically those that are rather infamous to Vancouver.  Hidden alleys in Chinatown where you can still hear the sounds of gambling behind the shuttered windows, past one of Vancouver’s more infamous gentleman’s club, and right through Vancouver’s skid row.  Opened my eyes to a whole different history to our fine city that I didn’t learn about in the classroom.  Fascinating!

An experience that I won’t soon forget and that I’d highly recommend to locals and tourists alike.

Thank you Chris!  And congratulations on being selected by Zero One for their ‘Sponsor A Museum’ ProgramThe Police Museum is very deserving.  You already use social media better than any other museum I know, and I can’t wait to see what new and innovative ideas you concoct with Zero One for the Police Museum.
