Crop Dusters and Bull Riders … What’s a Girl to Do? … Certain to Be A Dust Up in Store

June 4, 2011 By 2 Comments

Been joking the last couple of week’s about ‘findin’ me a good ol’ crop dusting man’, as I’ve been beating about the Canadian Prairies and as Jay Semko (from the Northern Pikes) just composed the music for a new History Television Series on crop dusters, Dust Up. The reality though? After being invited to the Dust Up Premiere Ho Down, I don’t think it’s a crop duster I have a crush on:

 

How does one go about starting a conversation with a bull rider? Is it all ‘yeehaws’ and ‘howdy thar partners’? Guessing I shouldn’t be calling him a ‘marm’ or ‘young filly’, but I do wonder how he’d take to being asked if those are Daisy Dukes he’s wearing?

Sadly you won’t catch this Bull Rider on the telly during Season 1 of Dust Up, but you can catch the rest of the cast and some good old Sask fun tonight at 6 & 6:30 pm EST & PST on History Television, online, or during the regular broadcast schedule for the next six weeks.

Kisses,

The Sexy Andrea Menard Struts Her Stuff Across the Prairies

December 4, 2010 By 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:

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

Telling Tales From the Prairies: Lobster, Beer & Guns

May 25, 2009 By 1 Comment

Lobster, beer & guns, what more can I say other than ‘YORKTON, FUCK YEAH!!!!’

No pics of me (Erica squirted lobster juice all over me), but yes, I was wielding a firearm too!!!!  And I fully nailed two skeet!!  Yeehaw!!!

Oh and fyi, watch out for Tris.  Have discovered that not only did he use to compete in axe throwing contest, but he’s also a damn good shot.  Must be something about his American heritage. (Keeping one eye open)
