Do you have a daughter? Did you look into her face as a newborn babe and imagine all the things you would share together in the future … chick flicks, shopping, perhaps even doing each other’s hair?
A lot of my friends have daughters. I see their girls wearing pink, experimenting with makeup and nail polish, enjoying dress-up games and taking an interest in toys like dolls, ponies or classic Disney movies that involve a princess or four.
As these same friends and my regular readers know, my daughter never asks for a new dress. She asks for a new Pokemon or Bakugan.
I’m good with this. I do my best to never express any genderized judgements on her passions. To bite my tongue when she comes home with yet another trashed pair of jeans from climbing trees or digging tunnels with the neighbours. And I do my best to listen to her endless — endless! — chatter about Pokemon this and Pokemon that. Oh, she’s a character!
But sometimes, just sometimes, I get a little twang of … hmmm, I’m not sure what to call it?
Like when I see an absolutely adorable outfit in a store and think “awww, that would look so cute on Stella!” and know that to actually buy that outfit would be like tossing money out of a car window.
I loved dressing her up when she was younger! Loved it! So I guess it was more about me than her, really. And so too is it probably more about me that her that I feel a bit disappointed knowing that my daughter would have absolutely no interest in catching a Disney On Ice show with me. Especially one called “Princess Classics.”
However, if your daughter wore something even remotely sparkly for Halloween, then she would no doubt cherish memories from this upcoming Disney On Ice show in Toronto. Especially right before Christmas.
I’ve got a fantastic 4-pack of tickets for opening night, courtesy of a partnership with Mom Central Canada. It’s a great giveaway!
If you’d like a chance to win, please make sure that you are available and able to be in Toronto for Friday, December 18th for a show start at 7:00 pm.
To enter, simply drop me a note in my comments box. On Friday, November 20th, I will use a randomizer and draw a name from the comments at 12 noon. The winner will be able to pick up their tickets directly from the box office on show night.
Also, if you’d like to see this show, I have a special discount code that you can use. It allows you to buy 4 tickets for $44. If I’ve done the math correctly, that equals a savings of anywhere from $16 to $156 from the full- price ticket fees (first come, first serve on the different levels of seating).
The small print on this discount? It is not valid on Rinkside or VIP seating, and it is for Monday- Friday showings. (However, if you want to do a weekend showing, you can still use this discount code and receive $4 off.)
The show runs from December 18th — December 27th at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.
To take advantage of this discount code:
1. Go to http://www.ticketmaster.ca
2. Enter the code MCC in the box “MC promotion”
3. A minimum of 4 tickets are required. Additional tickets can be purchased at $11 each during the week and $4 off on weekends.
4. Service charges, handling fees and all that junk still apply.
