Calling It Like It Is

April 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Very proud of myself, as I really know how to pick em. Yep, that’s right, I am taking it as personal victory that my own little writing hideaway, Gudrun has been voted for several 2010 ‘Golden Plates’ in The Georgia Straight.

Photographer: Robert Shaer

Here is the lengthy list:

  • Best Richmond Restaurant
  • 2nd Best Restaurant to Have Sex In
  • 3rd Best Restaurant to Flirt In
  • 3rd Best Soups

And I can attest to many of the above awards they’ve won, as I’ve certainly done my share of flirting there and their Indian Candy Chowder is THE BEST soup to has ever crossed my plumb and succulent lips.  I am just a little choked that despite having pranced around Gudrun in nothing but my skivvies, I can not be one of the #? to claim having had sex on the long table or bar. A bit of a green monster with envy at that one, I must say.

Speaking of flirting and jealousy, I am most aghast that Gudrun is hosting the perfect event to deal with my spring fever and current blasé with the sacred institution of internet dating. You guessed it!  They are hosting a singles night this Thursday, April 15th. So why my chagrin?  Well, it is for the 40 – 60 crowd and I am only a mere 35 year old.  I date men in their 40s (and 30s and 20s) – does that make me eligible to come?

Other details for others wishing to attend:

  • Tics are $20 and that gets you a drink and some tasty snacks.
  • Event kicks off at 7 pm.
  • Tics must be purchased in advance so that they can balance the male to female ratio.
  • To get a tic, contact June at (604) 805-9136 or j_miller@shaw.ca

Oh and don’t forget to vote for Gudrun in the Best of Richmond!

Kisses,

Emme xoxo

Happy New Decade!!!

December 31, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Hey all you sexy things,

Just rang in the New Decade with Fuzzywiggle Furrypants and the other four leggers around here, as all the humans here are already snuggled under the covers.  Been quite a delightful one! Spent with people I love, yummy food (and not too much of it) and watching Canada’s Junior Hockey win in a very close game against the USA!  The last of which is exceedingly exciting to a snow and ice loving Canadian Gal!!!

Before I head off to snuggle under the covers myself with my first kiss of the New Decade, Miss Fuzzywiggle Furrpants Roo, I wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Decade!

Kisses,

Ringing Out the Year with a Little Scandal

December 27, 2009 By 8 Comments

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.
