With the first shipment of calendars here (looking brilliant I might add), this is how we’ll be groovin’ it up in the sleepy, seaside hollow of Steveston tomorrow night:

And yes, I expect everybody to dance like this.

Reading is Sexy – 2010 Calendar Contest

Emme — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:54:32 +0000

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!!

Photo by Robert Shaer

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:

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

Whooping it up for Literacy

Emme — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:52:03 +0000

In case you hadn’t heard, I am throwing a little bash all in the name of literacy! Specifically for The International Dyslexia Association and to launch our Reading is Sexy Campaign. Cause, as I just finished telling Daniel Reynish, I find nothing sexier than a man (or woman, for that matter) curled up with a good book (preferably in front of a roaring fire).

So to read between the lines, we are promoting literacy and raising funds for The International Dyslexia Association, and hosting a little party to celebrate that and the launch of 2010 Reading is Sexy Calendar.

Party Details

Cost: Free

Local: Gudrun Wine & Cheese Bistro (150-3500 Moncton Street, Steveston, BC)

Date: Thursday December 3, 2009

Time: 7 pm until late

Festivities:

general revelry and enjoying of Gudrun Goodies (I will buy a few plates for the room, but bring some money with you to enjoy more Gudrun Goodies and some of the yummy wines and beers)
readings from a few of our authors (Ian Ferguson, Mark Leiren-Young, Richard Yearwood, Lorraine Murphy, Rayne … to name a few … I may even read something from my yet to be finished novel)
calendar signings by the ‘models’ on hand (really, just because I think this would be bloody hilarious…. I’m thinking of signing in lipstick)
auctioning of some of Robert Shaer’s photos from the shoot for charity
…and I plan on dancing ….even if nobody else joins me

Why Gudrun? Because Patrick is in the calendar, I adore him and it’s my secret writing hideaway.

One Added Perk: If you so choose (although certainly not required), you can do a bit of your Holiday Shopping at the event as we will have the 2010 Reading is Sexy Calenders (with $4 of sales from each calendar sold at the event going to The International Association of Dyslexia) and books and CDs of some of our authors on hand.

Hope to see you there!

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

PS So I can give Patrick an idea of numbers, can you please RSVP on facebook or in the comments below. Thank you, all you sexy things!
