And the Votes are finally in …..

January 29, 2009 By Emme 3 Comments

I must apologize about my rather slow motion tallying of the results in the ‘A Very Sexy Holiday Photo Contest‘ on flickr. I have sped up from slow moving molasses to that of the warm flowing variety and results are finally in. Drum roll please ….

The top three contenders for the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD digital camera:

@JustFab for:

@brilliant girl for:

Mrs. Claus on the crapper. by brilliant girl.

@•°o•°o Gina •°o•°o for:

Secret #25 - I once dressed up as Mrs. Claus. Also, 6/52 by •°o•°o Gina •°o•°o.

Just to keep you in suspense a little longer and because I like the tease. I am taking my time about announcing the winner of the actual contest and will mention the winner of my personal favorite photo. Here it is by @davegolden:

Clearly I’m feeling a little romantic these days.

Dave – as my personal favorite photo, @mattsimpson.name and I decided you should win something. As my unofficial winner, we’ll send you one of the Sexy In Van Wear prototypes once we have one. What’s your shirt and boxer size?

And now for what you’ve all be waiting for the winner of the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD digital camera and our first ever photo contest -

@•°o•°o Gina •°o•°o for:

Congratulations Gina! And a huge thank you to Fujifilm and Get on the F List for donating the camera!!

Damn Tyler Ingram – He Scooped One of Van City’s Hidden Cameras

December 19, 2008 By Emme 17 Comments

Was just about to post challenge to all you Van City kids to beat Tyler Ingram to the punch on finding the code to win one of the two remaining hidden cameras in Van City’s F List Scavenger Hunt. as rumor had it he had a lead on one of the cameras, but the brat just found it and destroyed my blog post. Clearly this was intentional. Tyler – don’t worry this can be made up to me by giving me a Fujifilm FinePix S100fs digital camera worth $699.99 for Christmas.

Tyler bearing a smug winner’s smile.

For those of you that are thinking that aren’t I the high maintenance pre-Madona this morning – well no. Just insanely jealous of Tyler as the boy just won a Fujifilm FinePix S100fs digital camera worth $699.99 in the F List Scavenger Hunt. The camera in question features an all-in-one lens (1cm to 400mm telephoto), bracketing functions, titing LCD and the ability to shoot movies. Would have been perfect for some of the photo shoots that Lola, Kittyn and I had planned for the New Year. Damn Tyler!

No worries, though there are still two more of the camera in question up for grab in the F Lists Scavenger Hunts – one in Vancouver and one in Toronto. I only mention this to you, as I’m currently in Toronto, so figure I’ll go after that one (and based on the weather outside, I have a bit of time to decipher the clues) and I want one of the rest of you to find the second camera before that darn Tyler gets his hot little hands on both of them.

So here’s the dirt on how to outsmart Tyler – go to the F List Scavenger Hunt, sign-up for the F List (don’t worry this is quick & painless & nobody seems to be sending me any unwanted junk mail from it), and get the clues. Finally, and here is the easy part, beat Tyler to the punch on the finding the last Van City hidden camera. Just remember, the Toronto camera is mine, so if you know what’s good for you steer clear. I do after all bite and hard (Tyler be warned).

PS Just got a special login for you from the Get on the F List campaign that gives you a secret code that makes you eligible to win their Fujifilm Finepix J100 camera instantly, if used when signing up for the F List, so best to sign-up this way.

Holiday Tip #2: Get Help

December 18, 2008 By Emme 4 Comments

No – I am not suggesting medical attention or the men in white jackets (well at least not for all of you). What I am suggesting here is that you take advantage of all the holiday promos that are out there to make the final days of holiday shopping more bearable and less stressful. I’m done my holiday shopping, but got dragged into a mall by my sister this past weekend and trust me you don’t want to go there and if you do, you want to make it a quick and dirty affair. Thankfully Bella was quick, so her life was spared prior to full meltdown on my part.

@GetontheFlist tweeted me about such a ‘holiday helper’. ‘Get on the F List‘ is a campaign being put on by Fujifilm Canada to inspire better gift giving, rather than the mad dash of ‘damn it’s the night before and I don’t want to spend the next year in the dog house’. As a part of this, their site has a simple 5-step Gift Finder to help you brainstorm shopping ideas for the people on your list. What I personally like about this campaign and gift finder is that whilst they do suggest a variety of fuji cameras for the people on your list, they also give you a variety of non-camera, non-fuji suggestions. In addition, they offer a blog with gift advice from 31 Toronto and Vancouver retailers.

Another gift buying suggestion for those of you in Vancouver this weekend is that the Women’s Winter Faire is back Saturday & Sunday, December 20th & 21st at Heritage Hall on 3102 Main St (by the corner of 15th) from 11 am – 6 pm. Sad that I am not in Vancouver this weekend as my favourite new Vancouver designers, mother- daughter duo, Jen Hong and Morgan of Salty Bean are going to be there selling their salty critters and critter ware. Really didn’t get enough critter chains from them at the last fair and should have bought a doll or outfit for my new niece. Damn Raul for distracting me. Oh and if it is anything like the last fair there will be lots of other great finds for your naughty and nice lists. A couple of pics below from Raul’s and my November adventure there!

Oh and if anyone else has any other last minute shopping suggestions, please fire us a note.
