Stop Charo! ...

Finally... a worthy adversary!



I am in trouble... really.

Have you voted yet?  > >> >> >> >>>

The backstory:  I entered a photo contest. The Me + celebrity photo contest over at LadyBrain.  The prize is a $100 gift card to some as-yet-undetermined business.  I know, kinda sketchy.  But the ladies over at LadyBrain have it goin' on and so I trust that it will be an ultracool business. ;-)

I do not plan on keeping the winnings.

No.

I am going to split that hunnerd smackers (in its little plastic form) into 5 easy pieces shared among 5 lucky likers of my new facebook page!  See? Over there on the sidebar?  Facebook Badge!  Coolio, n'est-ce pas? So if you want to be a part of something bigger than yourself, get on over there and get busy "liking" ;-) You don't have to do the liking thing if you don't want a slice of the pie... but 
please vote!!!


Anyway, here's the latest dealio... someone is endeavoring to trump my Fidel Castro pic... even with my headband and camel-toe!  Can you believe it?  That someone has entered a picture of herself with....


CHARO!  (see above picture with link)


yeah, Charo... and all her "cuchi-cuchi"... sheesh....


I must admit that my match has stepped into the ring. The contest is open until April 6th. There are bound to be others entering... Bring 'em on!  


A victory is empty without worthy opponents :)  


I have never enjoyed a cakewalk.


I'd rather lose to the best than crush the dregs.


Ut oh.


I'm starting to sound cocky.


Go Vote!

Contests...

You might notice some changes going on around here.

The first thing you might notice is the ROCKIN' pic of yours truly and Fidel over on the right >>>>>>>>

When you click on this picture it will link you to a contest... me + celebrity photo contest... "the dorkier the better" is what the creators put in their tag line.  The creators are some pretty hilarious and out-there women... the ladies behind the brain of Lady Brain.  If you want to know about manscaping or 15-minute O's or if women journalists should be placed in dangerous situations, you need to check the ladies out!  Their radio show and website covers EVERYTHING... really.  

The winner of the contest wins....

ONE HUNNNNNNDRED DOLLARS


I want to win this contest.  But I don't want to win it for me... I want to win it for YOU.

And this takes us to the second thing you should notice on the page...
the NEW FACEBOOK BADGE!

If you click on the BADGE with the lovely picture of Baby X silhouetted against the sunset, you will be transported to the NEW FACEBOOK PAGE for Taking It On.  Woooo hooooo!
Low readership on one site isn't enough for me!  I need to experience being ignored on multiple sites ;-)
So what you do is....
click on the BADGE.  Then once you are on the new Taking It On Facebook page, you click the "LIKE" button... the one with the little 'thumbs up'... near the top where it says Taking It On.

Go on... click it.
It won't hurt.
You can do it.
Awesome!  Thanks so much :)

If When I win this photo contest, I am going to share the winnings with my Facebook likers!  My first thought was to split it evenly amongst all of us... we'd each get about two bucks. Then I realized that my popularity might suddenly begin approaching my generosity, and that would significantly diminish what we'd each walk away with monetarily... of course, the good, warm feelings of sharing and friendship and love and being a part of something bigger than oneself are impossible to put a monetary value on, and in that regard we'd all be richer than Bill Gates... or Oprah. Plus, I was reminded that the postage to mail a quarter to 400 people (my husband is the Eternal Optimist in addition to The Penguin) would kind of blow my budget :(

So what I propose to do should I win is to draw 5 names at random from the list of likers on that Facebook page and split the winnings between them. $100 ÷ 5 likers = $20.  I got the math thing down ;-)  Now I want to let you know that it won't be $20 cash... they are doing a gift card to some place as yet unknown, but I am sure I can figure something out so that it works the way I want it to :)

What this means is... 
click on the dang Facebook badge and go "like" my page!
Then...
click on the dang picture and vote for me and Fidel!
And...
don't forget to tell your friends and family to get them in on the action of helping US win!

And get ready....
tomorrow's Vecchio Venerdì is going to be pretty amazing :)

Are you open to change or do you resist it?
– it depends on the change... moving from a nice house to a dump... resist.  The other way around... open :)

What would you do if you won $20?
– if I won $20 million, I would pay of my debts and buy momma a new house. Then I'd go to Costco and buy a 52" widescreen HDTV and a new Escalade with spinning rims. Oh... not million? Okay... then I'd probably go treat myself to a burrito with guacamole and sour cream!  Pullin' out all the stops ;-)

Musique pour Mercredi

Not sung in French.  But...

the band's name is French (do we need to brush up on our language skills by visiting last week's Family Guy French lesson?)

and

the footage is from a French movie and they are speaking French in the beginning before the singing starts.

I soooooo want to copy this video dance sequence!  Or get my kids to do it.



And I'll tell ya... the way she is dancing by herself there at the end... reminds me of an embarrassing dance floor moment of my own ;-)


Do you like New Wave music?  Did you know that is what "nouvelle vague" means?
– I like New Wave music.  I featured Mink DeVille the other week. Elvis Costello... like. Joe Jackson... like.  Talking Heads... like. Speaking of 'LIKE' ... did you know you can use the Facebook badge on the sidebar to go and 'LIKE' my new Facebook page?  Do it!


Do you have any embarrassing dance floor moments?  (I borrowed this question from my friends at Lady Brain)
– oh, noooo...  not so sure I can tell this one on here.  You might not be my friends anymore. Really embarrassing!  And I don't think I want my kids reading this one ;-)

Looking for a great giveaway?

Well, I'm steering you over to Lady Brain's awesome giveaway featuring this blanket.

Lady Brain is a hilarious and very candid radio program co-hosted by a friend of mine.  She is one of those fun, funny, smart, pretty AND nice women most of us aspire to be like.  And when you are around her you usually walk away feeling more fun, funnier, smarter, prettier and nicer than you used to feel because her energy is contagious!

So I encourage you to check out Lady Brain's website/blog and Facebook page.  Their topics tend to be not for the weak-kneed or faint-of-heart... these chicks are ballsy, in your face, asking the questions we all want to ask... or at least want to know the answers to ;-)  Although there have been some topics that have been way over my provincial head...

Anyway... these Ladies are a gas.  See for yourself!
