Tank Top Tuesday

Wow, almost another whole year is in the history books. As with every end of the year, I tend to get a little retrospective. But instead of just reflecting on the historic and personal milestones for the year, I like to think about what really matters – tank tops. Or, more specifically, the women I failed to feature throughout the year in tank tops. I only have a few days left to right this terrible wrong. But, you know what they say, better late than never having Naomi Watts waiting for you in a tank top, fedora and wingtips on the kitchen counter.

Freida PintoShe has been MIA since “Slumdog Millionaire,” but we’ll see that beautiful face back on screen where it belongs next year.

Margaret ChoGetting bounced off “Dancing with the Stars” early was actually a good thing. The less you’re around a Palin, the better for your mental health.

Maggie SiffI’m not into biker gangs, but suddenly I can see the appeal.

Molly RingwaldI think I speak for all children of the 80s when I say, damn girl.

Catherine BellOn second thought, I think I like her out of uniform better.

Olivia WilliamsOh, “Dollhouse,” if only you’d been given a chance.

Rashida JonesI know, I know – I can’t shut up about how happy I am “Parks & Recreation” is coming back.

Natalie PortmanI know, I know – I also can’t shut up about how great “Black Swan” is.

Jessica AlbaThis picture is so hot I’m pretty sure it’s illegal in 32 states.

Whew, now on to 2011.

Is Your Blog A Mutant?

Class: I've been positively ENRAPTURED reading the blogs nominated for Blogger's Choice Awards and marveling/laughing about the politics, the weirdness, the hustle, and the nominees. This Blog Circus is something to behold, eh? I've talked to several who couldn't get into vote because for some reason their age wasn't acceptable! So they tried putting in fake ages, and still....rejected! I don't know if this rejection is happening to many, but if it's happened to you, contact the awards directors and complain!

When one kind reader left a comment that she had nominated the Blondalicious One (that would be me, your sweetheart of a teacher!) for another category, the Blog Category instead of merely the Humor Category, I thought yeh! Sure--that's who I am too!

Blog-Blond is a mutant. Even her name is a dual name separated by a dash. Then I remembered the Mutant Ninja Turtles, warrior turtles. The intention of the creators of the M.N.T. is similar to Blog-Blond's creator:

"When we created the Turtles, we wanted to spoof the world of super hero characters and poke good natured fun at the heroic but not-so-funny characters that dominated the business." said Peter. "The Turtles are fun heroes with an attitude. Basically, they act and think like average teenagers."

"They're always willing to lend a helping hand, but are constantly on the alert for the funny side of life." added Kevin."

And so it is with Blog-Blond's goal: to spoof (and spook!) the world of bloggers and poke good fun at the S.S.S. (silly, serious, superficial) bloggers that dominate the Blogosphere. Blog-Blond also has attitude up the ying-yang, and she acts as goofy as any teenager. However, she's also kind, good-hearted, shares what she learns, and takes herself very lightly! Yup, another M.N.T. type!

Thus...if you get around to voting (and not loafing!), you can now vote for Blog-Blond in the Blog Category of Bloggers Choice Awards. Last I looked, my votes were small, but that doesn't mean the Blond won't eventually kick some a$$! After all, she's something of a M.N.T., and you have to watch out for these types---they're very sneaky and well-connected! One difference: Blog-Blond is super sexy! Even her Ninja outfit is a designer one with black silk stretch over-the-knee kick-ass stilettos!

I will leave you today with this YouTube video of another dual being: this dog's name is Gudrun--a cross between a Pomerian and a Chihuahua. And can it ever boogie! It's owner is the famous comedian Margaret Cho! Dance along with another one of OUR kind as Gudrun performs his awesome boogielicious "Dancing PomChi."

P.S. Remember to take yourselves lightly so you can fly with the angels and give it some thought--maybe your blog is ALSO a mutant blog. If it is, know you're in good company! What do you think of this concept, Mr. "Humor-Blogs.com"?
