Sexiness and Superheroes

A while ago, I wrote a post entitled What Makes Someone Sexy? Evidently, ParentsConnect, part of the big brand of Nickelodeon, liked some of the content because they’ve featured me as one of their Top Sexy Mamas. (Note to self: To feel more sexy as I write this post, I should likely change out of the yoga pants, hoodie, and a smurf-style hat I’m wearing. Nah.).

BatmanSpeaking of putting on something less comfortable, I donned  a superhero costume for the funeral of Educlaytion. Yes, my bestest buddy, Clay Morgan, is euthanizing his much loved blog, and today is the funeral. There are several hilarious videos, all paying tribute. I’m pretty sure this might be the first ever blog funeral. Seriously, you need to check out Educlaytion’s Funeral.

        Might miss it at first as I’m going away with no internet! Will catch up on my return. Hope they have behaved themselves 😉

      That is hilarious. I got pretty good at that posture after 8 years in Asia…

    Awesome. I’m already hearing whispers around the internet of people who want to know where you got your bat wings. That video is HILARIOUS. The whole funeral is amazing.

      Ha. My husband brought home a bag full of awesome costumes from a garage sale ($2 for the whole bag). I saw the Batman costume and said, “I need that. I know exactly what I’m using that for…”

        And you have a green screen…where? In your bedroom? At school? I will give William all of Tech’s LEGOs and I will do crafty things with Viv for hours if I can hang out with you for one day. 😉

        Not kidding.

          This one I did at school, but I do have a green screen at home. It’s a kelly green bolt of cloth and I clip it to the top bookshelves. And let’s hang out! Lego or not. We’ll just have to get rid of the provinces and states that are between us….

    Love the bat wings and funeral video. Yes, it is truly a sad day when a blog takes the hit and goes down for good. Congrats on being a top sexy mama. Does it put extra pressure on your day? Do you have to dress up for the grocery store?

    Leanne, I was so distracted watching your video wondering where the heck you got that batgirl costume! Now that I know I can go back and watch it all over again in peace! Really, it was too funny (as were all of them!) Congrats on your award – so fitting!
