Ringing Out the Year with a Little Scandal
Well it would just be wrong to ring out the year without leaving behind a little scandal. And Mark, being a good friend, understands this, so he decided to help keep my reputation in tact.
How you ask? Well, Mark posted this pic as his facebook profile pic:
Mark's and my controversial pic
‘Supposedly’, Mark posted this pic to garner attention for the ‘Reading is Sexy’ campaign. Well, it garnered attention all right, as complaints were raged and the pic was pulled from facebook, marked as ‘obscene’ (Only on Mark’s profile, however, as it seems to be perfectly acceptable on the Reading is Sexy Launch Event Wall). Curious to know which of us was being obscene? Personally I think it’s Rob playing with his ‘camera’ in the background.
Oh, and all this comes with rumours that the red head in the photo is Mark’s new lover.

Well fear not! I am here to save the day (with my cape, tights and all)! Yes, thats right! I have strategically placed calendars all through out town, so that you are not that person thats left having to explain that, “No, sorry. I couldn’t get IT. They were all sold out. I know I really should have looked sooner.”

Toronto Calendar Kissing this Saturday
It’s rough, I know, but out of the kindness of my heart, I’ve decided to pucker up for dyslexia this coming Saturday. And just cause I am a worldly kinda gal, this time I am puckering up and moistening my lips, across the Rockies, the Prairies and a few freeways, in Toronto.

Really excited to be at Ben McNally Books in Toronto kissing Reading is Sexy calendars from 1 – 3 pm on Saturday December 19, 2009 to promote literacy and raise money for The International Association of Dyslexia.
Photographer: John Biehler
Would love to meet some of you sexy TO cats there and if you are still kicking around at 3 pm, I plan on hitting up one of the local pubs and kicking off the festivities with a few pitchers of beer for the table and a couple of plates of nachos.
Calendars are $18 at the event or $20 (if you want to kick in an extra $2 to dyslexia). We will be accepting cash or cheque.
Kisses,
Emme xoxo

#ReadingisSexy Tweetup (aka Townie Calendar Kissing)
Last minute I know, but I’ve been a bit all over the map as of late and as such I need to blow off some steam, so the plan is to do just that in approximately 14 hours with beer, nachos and a whole lot of kissing.
You got it! That means its time to pucker for charity in a pub……that’s calendars we are puckering up for, deary. Although I do know Ian Martin has offered himself and another (who shall remain unnamed) to do a fair bit more in the name of charity. A little excited and even more scared to discover exactly what he means. There are after all, still the nightmares…
At any rate, the details:
What: Calendar Kissing , Beer Guzzling and Nacho Eating
Date: Thursday December 10, 2009
Time: 5 pm on
Location: Lion’s Pub
The Calendar’s Charity: The International Dyslexia Association
Kiss you there!
