Scavenger Hunt (Online) – September 10

In honor of Ana’s 23rd birthday, Mags and I are hosting a scavenger hunt.  This will be a Fifty Shades of Grey book based scavenger hunt that everyone can participate in from home, work, or the playground.  The hunt will be on Monday, September 10 and will start at 11 AM EDT, if I have done my math correctly that would be 4 PM in London and 8 AM in Los Angeles.  We will ship internationally, it probably wont be Express Mail, but we would love to have some international hunters!

The hunt will consist of 50 questions and you will have 2 hours to complete it.  The questions will be detailed questions from each of the 3 books so you’ll want your books handy that day.

We will post the questions on the site at 11 AM with a full set of instructions.  Basically, you’ll need to answer the questions and send us an email with your answers before the 2 hours is up.  After the closing of the scavenger hunt we will do the calculations and notify the winner via email.  We will be disabling comments on the site during the hunt so no one accidentally posts answers.  We will post the answers later that day.

If you would like, we would be happy to email out the list of questions to you at 11 AM on September 10. Send us an email to latersbaby50(at)gmail(dot)com (or click the link to the right) requesting an email list of questions.

Fifty Shades of Grey in the Media

Entertainmentwise is reporting that Norton and Townsend has created Fifty Shades of Grey suits.  So if you’re man needs a new suit you can get him some Fifty style!

The Guradian has an intersting article on the significance of Tess in Fifty Shades of Grey. I do plan on reading Tess, and blogging about it, at some point after the Olympics.

Quibblo has a 25 question quiz on Fifty Shades of Grey, it’s not easy!
