the celluloid blonde awards
When I swept the blog off blogspot and headed to parts wordpress [blame AJ it was not my idea] holidailies was in play. I do not do holidailies. I am totally opposed to promising anyone or anything not paying me a word count. It is a writer thing. So I just do not do that. But. On a personal collateral level, I thought, hmm, a month posting every day. That is interesting. I should try
that.
I moved the blog here on December 14th. It was an experiment, really. One month. A post a day. Do it. [Um, Nike, I was saying that when I was three, do not sue there are witnesses.] And I will pull it off, too, if I can track down all these links before midnight. Which I probably will do. So —
I did it. As of this posting. I do most goals. I just have to make a commitment. I do not do that real often. That to me is the hard part. The whole commitment part. [If you have not read Another Day Another Inadequacy you won’t get that reference.]
Today marks Day Thirty. Yay! And since every thirty day commitment accomplished should be totally and undeniably marked with a special event and since I do not do tattoes —
After thirty days of daily posting. After thirty days of daily reading. It is only fair to totally bestow accolades on wordpress and/or blog fellows. So, and without further ado [which is just a fancy way to add more ado pretending you are not doing it], welcome to —
The Celluloid Blonde Awards. Yay! Yay! Yay!

Celluloid Blonde Awards – cool! Thank you!
Congrats on the 30 daily posts Max. I’ve enjoyed reading them.

I am both humbly honored for having won a Celluloid Blondie, and utterly depressed over which of my posts won it.
Even the awards I win are for being geeky! :)
Thank you, Max.
Kisses!
Thank you, Max! Does the word judges indicate multiple personalities? heehee you might want to have trenchdoc look at that!
I look forward to clicking on all these links. Oh, and [bowing] thank you for the award.
Thank you Max for this great award!
I mean- if I’m reading the fine print right…I won it from GOD ( okay, an acting God…but that’s cool) who is a WOMAN- so you bet I’m honored
This is a great way to start off a Monday.
See ya!
Anita Marie-
From Owl Creek Bridge
Gosh, I am apparently stuttering. One more try:
that fun sparkly stuff that just poofed over your head was my pleasure confetti.
You sure know how to pick great fiction. Anita Marie’s stories are just fabulous and can be found in Lemuria. Seek and you will find.
ohh this is so unexpected
*sob*
I just don’t know what to say
*sniff*
I would like to thank my… bla bla bla, yeah, you’re already bored aren’t you?
bow, bow, air kiss, air kiss.
But seriously, that was lovelythank ma dear. I look forward to coming back when I have time (family visiting this week) and reading all the links.
Overlook no opportunity to be sparkley, that is my motto.
It’s an honour to simply be nominated. But since I’ve now won, I will run around in my designer dress singing “Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah” until I trip on the hem and go hurling towards the floor at break-neck speed.
(It will probably make a big noise and it’s highly possible that my knickers will be exposed. Much laughter will ensue and I will be relieved and totally happy if I don’t chip a tooth.)
Cool dress Ms. Pants.
Max, you so totally rock! My internet has been incredibly fuzzy since Cingular convinced me that if I just downloaded their connection thingie for my cell phone, it would be real easy… yeah, real easy to not have internet service because it went in and yanked out something important in the ip address area that cannot just be added back in. grr. Anyway, I’m sort of back on using the desktop and Yay! what a great surprise to see this. ;) Love it. Thanks, you made my day.
Yes, Max does rock. And she’s dead on – never miss the opportunity to be sparkly!
Aww. Thanks.
Oooo.. thanks for the Celluloid Blonde Award. (fumbling for acceptance speech) .. “I am very honored and all agush with gushiness”. This is going to go to my head you know! :)
You are welcome. That monkey post slays me.
Wow. This is surreal. I can remember wanting to win a Celluloid Blonde award ever since I was a little girl. Every year I sat on the couch with mom and dad and watched as people were honoured by the Celluloid Blonde “judges”, and I thought to myself, one day, that’s going to be me. So, finally being up here, well, it’s fucking amazing. Will they beep that out? They’ll probably beep that out. Oh well. I would like to thank the “judges” for this great award, Albert the Koala for his great performance during the shoot, as well as his tolerance for having Koala spelt Kowala during promo junkets, and last but not least, my ever co-operative sidekick Dash, who is at home watching this on tv. Thanks again.
Best Photo of a Kowala was not enough, you are going for best speech too right? You are such an overachiever.
I’d like to thank the Academy….
I try my best.
Wow! This is a total and complete surprise. You like me! You really like me.
First and foremost, I’d like to thank Sara for being drunk and disorderly in public. Despite having an outstanding warrant out for her arrest, she still had the courage to get totally wasted in public, let her left boob hang out and slap a cop. Sara, without out you, this blog would have never happened and for that, I humbly thank you.
Second, I’d like to thank Max. Max, you have been an inexhaustible source of inspiration and support during the entire two weeks (or so) that we’ve known each other. Without you, I would have never been able to win this award and for that, I share this honor with you (but, I’m going to keep it at my place).
Finally, I like to thank my readers for allowing me the opportunity to say completely inappropriate things in a public forum. Thank you for overlooking my obsession with boobies and my general lack of basic writing skills. Thank you for letting the typos and syntax errors slide while I subtly hit on each and every one of my female readers. You are the ones who make it worth the effort and give me the hope necessary to continue making an ass out of myself. I would totally make sloppy drunken passes at each one of you (except for the dudes).
Thank you! Goodnight!
Way to turn an acceptance speach into a group pass, Tommy.
I do what I can Max. HA!
Oh man, I just got through reading all the comments on the “Best Personal Threat in a Blog Convo Post” and I swear I hit the floor when you commented that Chad had a crush on you. She’s shut down commenting on that post so I couldn’t leave one there.
LOL — Who knew innocent little Date Girl would be called upon to defend the honor of American womanhood? Jeez, there was nothing in that super hero contract about that.
I also couldn’t catch my breath after reading your comment that the Porkster didn’t really have a girl but “she” would surely be leaving comments soon, to just look for some looooong winded posts.
That is some funny stuff. I’m still laughing about it.
Oh well they are frisky. Being told I’ll never work in this town again by someone not even industry is so a personal best for me though, that totally earned an award.
[i cannot believe you read the whole thing you crack me up]
That’s awesome!! Thanks!! :)
In case anyone does not know the code, HDW is hot doc’s wife. She has special codes.
Thanks Max! I accept this award on behalf of all educated people with a full set of teeth, trapped in a small town hellhole with only a DVD player and the local liquor store for company – this award is for you, my brothers and sisters.

Hey, that was your penguin falling down that I stole? I’m pretty sure I got it second-hand from somebody else who stole it from you, but credit where it’s due — that’s one rad penguin.
Thanks for even reading the LA piece, much less liking it or awarding it.
Well I did not create the penguin someone sent it to me an age ago the timing was just real close me putting it up and you putting it up right after.
