And Now, In "Heated Rivalry" News . . .

1. Everyone's a Fan!


The Prime Minister (who is, of course, a big hockey fan)
was gifted with his very own "Heated Rivalry"
Team Canada Olympic fleece from the series!

He's fanboying alright!


2. Release The Fleece!

Fans all over the world want to buy a fleece too
and apparently it will soon be available to order
from Province of Canada manufacturing company.


No price has been announced yet, but
10% of sale proceeds will be donated to an
LGBTQ+ charity yet to be named.

3. Olympic Torch Bearers!

Continuing on with the Olympics theme,
both lead stars got to be torch bearers last month
in the Olympic Torch Relay in Italy!


That's right -- "Go daddy" indeed!

4. Let's Make a Smoothie!

Blogging buddy Sixpence Notthewiser of (LO) IMPRESCINDIBLE blog
recently posted an absolutely hilarious but very NSFW parody video. 
I laughed so hard that tears ran down my leg (as they say)!
You can see the video here on his blog or on YouTube here.
Don't miss the outtakes at the end!

5. Speaking of Sixpence . . .

I believe he is re-reading all the novels
by Rachel Reid that the series is based on.
So here's the perfect bookmark for that!


6. And Sixpence, Don't Miss This!

Those of you who read Sixpence's blog know that he
loooooves videos about architectural styles and how people
decorate their homes. Another blogging buddy, 
Parnassus (Jim) of The Road to Parnassus, just sent me
a video discussing all the houses in "Heated Rivalry" (thanks, Jim!)
The video is 15 minutes long but worth a watch if you're a fan!

  1. I haven’t yet seen Heated Rivalry. I hope I can soon. I love the sweaters. And Mark Carney looks to be seriously enjoying himself.

  4. I haven't seen the show but I did read the book. Steamy stuff and a love story. I liked it.

  5. OMG yes, yes, YES!
    I love all of this (and the shoutout!) and I love HER.
    I have seen the video and I understand her obsession (I do love house tours, but I have yet to have an actual spreadsheet tracking them). I have watched the show twice and may start a third once-over just for shit and giggles. And I actually am in my second read of all the books. And have the seventh in my waiting list at my local library.
    I think she 'gets' what the houses mean for the characters and that made me subscribe to her channel right away. She's my kind of girl.
    And I want that fleece jacket and I don't even like hockey that much!!

    XOXO

    P.S. Yeeayyy, Sixpence!

  7. I love the outpouring of delight that Heated Rivalry is bringing to the world! And, look at PM Carney! So much for the staid conservative image... Love it!

    1. @ e -- I think the man may have hidden depths of humour and whimsy, hahahaha!

  8. He certainly looks pleased wearing it.

  9. I suspect Mark Carney thinks Montcalm and Wolf were gay lovers, so it is no surprise.

    1. @ Guillaume -- Yeah, he DID screw up that speech he made about the Plains of Abraham, didn't he? Did no one with a knowledge of history vet that speech before he gave it? Sheesh.

  11. That fleece looks very warm. I could use one by now.

  12. The primer minister has a great sense of humour!

  13. Release the fleece’ sounds like a superhero tagline, and 10% to an LGBTQ+ charity makes it even better. I imagine it is going to get a huge global pre‑order crowd.

    1. @ Mr. Shife -- Hahahaha, yes, it's either the Canadian version of "Release the Kraken!" or "Avengers Assemble!"

  15. I hope I have time to watch that show soon! I've been super busy and my brain isn't up to concentrating on a new series.

    Love,
    Janie
