Vote & Giggle

Y'all, these were so funny that my handsome lesser-half, Mr. Smartypants, almost couldn't pick his favorite 10 entries. They were all so funny. The winner of this week's contest will win these earrings. Good luck.

Fight the Frump -Truthfulness in self portraiting

**Good news- we drove to Nashville, found a house, managed to rent it with the 5 monkeys in tow and then drove back to Knoxville last night. Woot! Bad News- I totally got lost in Twittergate 2008 and was too lazy to do a decent Fight the Frump. So, without anything of use to provide, what was I to do? I dug deep in the archives to give y'all a laugh.Enjoy!**

The whole mommy-blogging internet is on fire with truthful self-portraits. You roll out of bed and take a photo in your bathroom mirror. Her royal bloggy highness, Sweetney, started in all with this post. It's no secret that I hate to be left out. But, could I really do it? Am I that brave?

I had to think about it.

I would like to portray myself like, oh I don't know, say... Heidi Klum. All supa-fab and gorgeous. I know the wonderful Friends of Fussy wouldn't let me put on airs. I would get a virtual smackdown from my readers for being a fraud!

Well, there are little things called legalities. Heidi's attorneys say I can't pretend to be her or they'll file that lawsuit...

Bummer, there goes that idea.

What could a self-respecting, attention-grabbing, semi-shameless Mommy Blogger do?

I was forced to to make a decision.

Could I overcome my vanity, my fragile ego and my shallow sense of self and put an actual photo first thing in the morning on my site for thousands to see?

I did it! Here I am first thing in the morning.

No make-up, no hairbrush, no photoshopping.

Wait for it.

Wait for it...

   

What? You thought Mrs. Fussypants would really join in? Pshaw!

I thought y'all knew me better than that!

Now, it is up to you, save the Friday Fight the Frump, and give some brilliant frump fighting ideas. Remember to give your name and topic on the first line and specific URL on the second. And, of course, link back here.

What? You thought I didn't notice how lovely you look today?  Looking great, baby! Rawr Rawr!

Love, Fuss

 

**Please link up in the comment section. Lately, our favorite boyfriend, MR. Linky, keeps dying on us. I am so sorry. Sometimes he & Typepad do not get along. I'll contact Mr. Linky for help! ;)**

Funny, funny and mo' funny

Online Surveys & Market Research

I'll announce the winner of the jewelry on Monday. Sorry I didn't publish the poll yesterday. I'm recovering from some hellacious food poisoning. I have no idea what I ate, but it tried to kick my trash, if you know what I mean. ( thanks to my homegirl, Chilihead, for that funny phrase! )

That's right, interwebz, I am publicly feeling sorry for myself. In all honesty, it is my excuse for not answering my billionty emails. I promise I am not ignoring you, I'm just so far behind. I do love you so much!

I'm working on the redesign & relaunch of Blissfully Domestic. Karla and I are bringing in so many talented and wonderful women to contribute. Seriously, not to brag or anything, but my magazine RAWKS! The brilliance of the women who contribute humbles me.

Also, HomeschoolHacks is moving under the umbrella of Blissfully Domestic. I am picking some wonderful Homeschool moms to contribute there. If you would like to be considered, please email me.

Whew, are you still awake? Sorry about all the business notes, how about something funny?

Or, if you are a really twisted soul, like me, who isn't easily offended you will love this-

Love you, Fuss

Foo-say Foo-saypants

Because I apparently have caused confusion between my little site and another site I shall no longer be called Fussy. From now on use your best Pepe La Pew French accent and call me "Foo-say Foo-saypants," K?

Bwahahahahaha. Have a great Saturday!

Love, Fuss

Fight the Frump- Dollywood Don'ts

Mr. Smartypants & I took the boys to Dollywood last Sunday. The best description would be a down-home hillbilly version of Disneyworld. It is huge and oh my goodness it is expensive. Over $30 per person is a travesty. Luckily we went for free. Thanks for pulling those strings Grandma! Anyhoo, I had to show you what I saw.

Fannypacks, Airbrushing & Tye-dye- Oh My!

The famous Fussy head shall protect the identity of the fashion offenders. Seriously, where do I even begin with this scene? What is the world coming to when people spend huge amounts of money on poor-quality cotton/poly shirts covered in ~~shudders~~ airbrushing? I am appalled.

Speaking as a lady who is carrying an extra 30 20 10lbs after having a baby, let me just scream from the mountaintops, "Cover the extra lbs, Ladies." Every single woman no matter the size can look beautiful when properly dressed. This is not properly dressed. One more note, swimsuits are not ever proper daytime attire, K?

OK, let's break this scene down. See the lady in capris & aqua tunic? I give her the Official Fussy Thums Up. Her friend in Tye-Dye? Oy Vey, my eyes are bleeding. Tye-dye? A big don't. And sadly, see the PERSON in grey in the background. I shall call it Pat. Dressing in a way that onlookers can't tell if you are male or female is a serious don't.

Now, how about a happy scene from Dollywood? Here is Mr. Smartypants with Joey and James on the merry-go-round.

Now it is your turn, Frump Fightin' Friends of Fussy! Link up a post about beauty, fashion, getting healthy, dieting or anyway you fight the evil that is known as frump. I made a nifty new graphic so now we have a choice of which one to use. Be sure to use a graphic, link your specific URL here & link back to this Linky list on your post. Have fun!

Love you sooo much, Fussy

Name that Inappropriate Photo
