Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
I’m sporty and sexy and what else?

Blog Guy, I was intrigued by your post about models having to get “instructions” before fashion shows. Were you able to learn anything more about what they were being told?
No, but I have learned more about how important it is to motivate folks just before a big event.
Here is a shot of an actual backstage inspirational note for the models at an actual fashion show in New York this week. It tells them they are sporty and sexy, blah blah blah, and says, “And remember, EVERYONE wants to be YOU!”
Yikes. Did the designer write that crap himself?
Well no, I believe it’s a word-for-word copy of the note they gave Saddam Hussein before they hanged him, but whatever works.
Is that the entire note?
No. There’s a second page that is more specific. You know, stuff like “EVERYONE wants to be YOU, lady who doesn’t even get to wear any real pants, and YOU, chick who has to go out there in a see-through shirt with nothing underneath…”
Yeah, I can see why they’d need some extra motivation. Do you have a similar note in your office?
Of course, but mine says “NOBODY” instead of “EVERYONE.”

“Everyone wants to be you”! HA! Who wants to be a skanky zombie? To my knowledge, there is only one person who, briefly, wanted to be one “THEM!” That is the person in the attached picture, and that was only for the 5 minutes or so after the pic was taken.

(The count? 3 balls and 1 strike)
I am not “everyone.”
Wow! And no annoying white bar! You’re the greatest BG.
As for you Doc… Thanks. Thanks so much for negating the missing bar.
*in the fetal position wondering where my meds are*
Everyone except the people who want to be able to spell Gstaad properly.
You’re good enough, you’re smart enough, and doggone it, people like you!
Eh, those boobies aren’t even worth my time.
Nah…. I dont want to be them… I would like to wear GOOD clothes that cover… thank you very much….
Loving the undies on left …
Oh my gosh. I’d rather be my cat!!

(rolling eyes)
Er…Shra…maybe you should see a doctor about all your conditions. That nervous tic you have seems to have loosened your eye muscles so your eyes are rolling….I’m just saying…you might wanna get it seen to.
E.
E, dont ya start!!! I am rolling my eyes on Fwd’s comments… tell me you never rolled ya eyes at your boss! As if he never did anything worth eye-rolling!
We’re just concerned Shra, because of all these symptoms. If it was just this one thing it might be overlooked, but it seems like more things are popping up every day.
Yeah well… I am flattered, Iam… I have very few people concerned about me… so, I guess I mean to say Thank you… (very teary eyes right now!)
I’m concerned too Shra, I mean one thing on it’s own is one thing…but all together?
And now watery eyes too. (Though after the Prince William post, I’m not surprised!).
Shra…dear, dear Shra…you shoulda gone to Specsavers.
E.
Yeah yeah.. have me on… today is just not my day… first work gets me down… and then my friends on the OE blog dont have any mercy… oh where is the freaking humanity!!!!
Humanity left a long time ago. Honestly if we really cared about ourselves as a human race, would we actually LET people walk around with bears heads popping out of their clothes? Or wear forks and antlers on their heads?
Common sense is a long long loooooong lost art form!
Ah but Shra, you know we’re teasing you. OE is the one thing keeping me sane around here!!
So where’s the humanity? We’ve all gathered to blabber at the foot of wit and sarcasm…ie…Baz’s blog.
I always wondered what that smell was.
E.
In some other ward?
E… I figured out that smell quite a while ago… in the Eugene Toilethead Johnstone post actually…
Bottom?
I tend to roll more than rock Unca.
Win Shra! XD
The blueberrie cake ones are my favorite.
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! Bluberries!!! Blueberry muffins!!!!!!!
