The Sexy Andrea Menard Struts Her Stuff Across the Prairies

December 4, 2010 By Emme 1 Comment

Was reminded the other day whilst making my mixed tape of a few Canadian artists, of some of the incredible talent we have in this country of ours. So many voices I love to listen to. In that mix is singer and actress, Andrea Menard, a woman who lights up the stage with her warmth and talent and is equally as lovely in person. You can’t help, but love her, especially after you see her perform live.

I was lucky enough to have such an opportunity this past winter, thanks to the Saskatchewan Pavilion during the Olympics. In fact, I enjoyed listening to her so much that I went back two nights in a row. Here she is, as filmed by moi:

Am a little jealous of the Prairie folk this week and next as Andrea is strutting her way across the Prairies in her Holiday Sparkle Tour, yet alas she stops just East of the Rockies. Drat! Oh how I wish I was in Toon Town with Teddy this coming Wednesday so I could go enjoy her show. As for her other stops for all you fine Prairie folk:

Winnipeg – Fri. Dec. 3, 2010 – 8 pm – West End Cultural Centre (huge apologize to the Peggers for not getting this up yesterday)
Regina – Sat. Dec. 4, 2010 – 8 pm – Casino Regina Show Lounge (not too late for tickets – get your ass off the couch & dial the box office)
Saskatoon – Wed. Dec. 8, 2010 – 8 pm – Broadway Theatre (I’ll be drowning my sorrows in a hot apple mandarin toddy Wednesday to mask the jealousy of missing this)
La Ronge – Fri. Dec. 10, 2010 – 7 pm – Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre
Calgary – Mon. Dec. 13, 2010 – 7 pm – EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts
Edmonton – Tues. Dec. 14, 2010 – 7 pm – TransAlta Arts Barns – Westbury Theatre

And to make me even more jealous, it looks like Andrea is going to be joined by that fine Irish beast, Stephen Maguire along with Robert Walsh. Anyone know what the cost of a flight to Saskatoon is this Wednesday?

Now, you got a taste of Andrea’s folkie tunes above, so I thought it only fair if you get a bit of a taste for her jazz too. Besides which, this fan video fits nicely with the mo (not too late for a Movember donation) and pantie themes I’ve been enjoying this past little while. Ladies – I think you’ll enjoy this!

mmm … I think I may need a cold shower.

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

My Movember

November 29, 2010 By Emme Leave a Comment

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.
