The Blog Star Awards

For this week's 52 Weeks of Blog Community assignment, I give a blog star award to 3 fabulous women whose blogs have made such a difference in my life.

So, without further ado, I present blog stars to...

* Jami at Bionic-Beauty.com
* Mrs.Mogul at mrs.mogul - big city mama & pop culture addict
* April at April's CR Diary

Bionic-Beauty.com -
I found Jami's blog through Jen's Mythbuster Beauty a few, very short months back. I was first struck by the simple elegant design of her blog, but her honesty, candidness, and how she reaches out to her readers keep me coming back with each new post. A fellow geek, she's become a friend who brings out my fun girlie side by sharing her fun girlie side, and that's really cool!

mrs.mogul - big city mama & pop culture addict -
I don't remember how I found Mrs.Mogul, but I'm glad I did. I describe her as my "pop culture crack dealer". I visit her every day for cool stuff, her angle on the latest in celebrity happenings, and a peak into her fun world.

April's CR Diary -
I've been reading April's blog for over a year now. A smart and gutsy woman, April's efforts in maintain her good health have helped me in my own CRON practice. Her posts are insightful, candid, and have taught me to be fearless in the pursuit of good health my own way.

Many thanks to you! You and your blogs have changed my life for the better. Please keep it up!

Who's On Your Freebie List?

Whenever my girlfriends and I get together for a Girls' Night Out, we always talk about the latest versions of our freebie lists.
The revelations usually take place just after dinner. We're relaxed, enjoying dessert, a little buzzed, and primed for some laughter and the inevitable swooning. It's one of my favourite times of the evening.

If you've watched Friends, you'll know what the "freebie list" is. For those who don't know, the freebie list is the list of famous people you can bed with the permission of your significant other, if you are able to lure them to your lair in the first place.

I'm sure, for a group of smokin'-hot babes, my girls and I would all have a decent chance with the dudes on our lists - if only we'd move to Hollywood, choose the guys that were still alive, and not have to invent a time machine to hook up with the hotties in question. Yes, I'm looking at you, sly and myrtle! "Sean Connery but only in Darby O'Gill and the Little People", indeed! Pfft!

Ross' laminated list had only 5, but we increased our lists to 10. For this post, I'll only reveal my top 5.

So, how about you? Have you made your own list? Who's on it?

Okay, without further ado, here's my Top 5...

Gerard Butler
My #1, this dude's appeal is that he's not a pretty-boy. Smart and funny, Ger would make a one-night-stand entertaining in more ways than one.
It's rather disturbing that, in some pictures, he looks eerily like Roomie. I mean, fantasizing about a guy that looks just like your spouse shows such a lack of imagination. But it also means I'm married to my fantasy guy. :)

Eric Bana
He was hot in Troy... well, who wasn't hot in Troy?! But he was truly the apex of hottitude in that movie, outshining even Brad Pitt, to me at least. Harmzie might disagree. :)




Olivier Martinez
Restaurant bathroom scene, Unfaithful... just watch it and you'll understand. :) Kylie's a lucky girl. He's also known as the Brad Pitt of France... do you see it? I do... a little.




Richard Dean Anderson
He never did anything for me as McGyver, but as Jack O'Neill in Stargate SG-1, wow. He rocks that black t-shirt when he runs. :) Once again, the humour is a big factor.




Sting
Requires no justification, n'est pas? :)

Okay, now you! I can't wait to see who's on your lists!

123 Book Tag

Despite being sick in bed, my friend Shai rescues me from today's writer's block by tagging me for the 123 Book Tag, so here goes...

Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

Okay...

1. Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages

I choose one of favourite erotica books, Bella's Blade by Georgia Angelis (Black Lace).

2. Open the book to page 123

Okay, check.

3. Find the fifth sentence

Hang on while I wade through the torrid smut... okay, here we are.

4. Post the next 3 sentences

Her many curves assaulted Dan's senses and he moaned, wondering whether it was possible to die of embarrassment and whether she could see him swelling hard in his breeches. 'Come in, by all means.'
She did and suddenly he wondered whether that had been a mistake.

5. Tag 5 people

Like Shai, I don't feel entirely comfortable about tagging people. I don't want anyone to feel obligated to participate, especially if they look at this kind of thing like a chain letter. But I will be tagging: Mrs. Mogul, Jen, Amy, Arturo, and Zandria.
If you choose to do the tag, let me know! If not, that's okay too - just consider this a bit of link love!
