Yes, a rare political post for me.

No, not because I don't care...but because there's just TOO many great stuff out there!

While doing the old spring clean on my hard-drive, I came across "Louise" - one of controversial Belgian conceptualist Wim Delvoye's "stuffed tattooed pigs"...

...and made my day as perky as all get out!

I'm a couple of months too late for Sweet & Meaty Brad Brown's "Big Sexy Uncle Baseball Cap Giveaway"...

DAAANGiiit!

Update: Oh. My. GORRRD!!! I WON BRADBROWN'S HAT!!! Oh happy days!!!

(Thankyouthankyouthankyou oh "sweet & meaty one!")

Brad amended (luckily for me!) the rules of the contest to:

"...Tell me in 20 words or more why you think you’re sexy enough to wear the hat."

To which I responded:

“I am, hyperbole-ically, TOO sexy for this hat. (…and I’m not an uncle yet…so it won’t be *too* creepy.)”

Even though I was months too late, the gods (and Brad) smiled upon me! (and yes, I am aware "hyperbole-ically" is not a real word.)

Watch out for a pic of me wearing it...and nothing else! (...now ok...*that* would be creepy. Sorry.)

I LOVE this pic!

Yes. I finally copped the "Ferris Bueller" SB's.
For weeks and weeks I told myself I wouldn't...but that dang "no-more-kicks-wagon" is a convertible! *Gah!*

I just CANNOT say no to a good (or bad) "leopard-print."
