Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Give us a big smile, your majesty!

Say, Blog Guy, whatever happened to that coveted position you used to write about, the Queen of the Entire World?
I remember you used to tell us whenever someone new got the title, but that motorcycle chick in the gold lamé swimsuit and stilettos seems to have reigned for some time now.
Yeah, we’ve all been busy with other things, so thanks for reminding me. It turns out there is a very good new candidate for the title.
Do tell!
How does this sound? Blue knit bikini, billowing aqua cape and a giant feathered headdress….
What about her shoes?
Uh, looks like silver, with ferns shooting out of her ankle straps.
Well go ahead and crown her, Blog Guy! What the heck are you waiting for?
Oops. Hold on. Time out. There may be another last-minute contender, just back from Ash Wednesday services.

Okay… love the black dress… if only I had the legs… but yeah.. loving the boots…
Sighhh… I feel like going shoe shopping again, darn it!!
Samba Tango Brazillia whatever makes them wear that
So much pandering to us guys BG,…and to Shra of course with her love for shoes. I bet the ladies are getting a little jealous by now. Maybe you should feature Eugene again in your forthcoming posts to whet the ladies’ appetite too. As for the guys’, I’m confident we love birds.
Chicks, specifically. With blue feathers.
(PS: What’s up with the ash wednesday-ish cross on the model’s forehead lol)
I’m sorry but you can’t possibly expect to be Queen of The Entire World when you wear Bill Gates’ glasses from the 1980s, and snow boots.
Try to be a little more sensitive, Malteser. Shra has just revealed in her comment that she has no legs.
Malt…. we need more Mr.FAB Abs not Mr.FLAB Abs…
BG, you are the only one good to me…
Nosmo, I thought nerdy girls are supposed to be a huge turn-on… oops.. am I supposed to say that considering this is a “family” blog?
You know, I am planning to go to church tomorrow, and was going to wear green. Looking at the black dress makes me think black would be a safer bet. That way, when the lightning strikes me, the char will just blend in… I wonder if my boots will ground me?
The blue knit bikini is certainly sufficient to attract males. Going with the cape and feathers is a bit overkill. Either way all hail the new Queen of the Entire World!
@One … Wear silver. The lightning will bounce off you and hit the poor sap standing next to you. Remind me NOT to sit by you in church.
@CAM: Thanks for the advice; though I am not sure I have enough foil to whip up a dress by tomorrow morning.
Wow. Mardi Gras is nothing like that in New England.
But BG, when you said, “Queen of the Entire World”, I expected another Kate Middleton photo shot. Isn’t she the soon-to-be-queen-of-the-world?
As for the Ash Cross on the model’s forehead, the show for that line was on Ash Wednesday, so it seems in line with the theme of the day.
@Shra – I guess with the snowboots, she’s Canadian. In which case to be truly a turn-on, she needs to have a plate of Poutine in one hand, and a jug of Maple Syrup in the other.
I vote for the feathered lady. Nice plumage.
Ooh, I thought it had something to do with the Badger… the ex-newspaper.. get your minds outta the gutter…
Doesn’t Charlie Manson have the same sort of mark on his forehead as #2 there? She does look like a contender for “Psycho Queen of the Entire World” – Those quiet types are always the ones that end up pullin’ a carving knife outta their knee-highs and going postal on ya!
That comes pretty close to teaching, Unca, but I’ll let Shra be the judge…
@Unca, aren’t there lawyers out there somewhere still trying to decide what the definition of “is” is? Or is that case closed?
At second glance I thought the second chickie could pass for Hermione Granger at the Hogwarts 10 year renunion. The black ash is a permenant scar left from her use of the “Ugly Ducking to Swan” spell on herself.
I used to date a girl called Mercedes. She drove me round D Benz.
Back when Mercedes-Benz bought Chrysler-Willys-Overland, there were rumors that the merged companies would be renamed Chrysler-Benz-Over.
Jazz, is that the voice of experence?
Given what BG did not show us back on the Rio carnival series, I suspect this queen thing has been rigged. I think we should have a recount and full disclosure by all the candidates.
@ARJTurgot2, perhaps it has but who’s gonna complain considering the results?
One thing that has not been rigged, at least properly, is Her Highnesses head gear which I have just noticed is about to fall off.
Royal arm helpers? Give me one day and I can find you 200,000 applicants for that job, and that’s even if it doesn’t pay anything.
Seriously BG, thats a huge number… Ok, you are given one day… I want to see the 200,000 applications on my desk tomorrow morning… and NO excuses…
If you dont…then you have to show up at an University of Wisconsin Alumni convention in your goofy museum regalia…
What say, OE commentators?
