An Unworthy Cause. Give.

The blogosphere has been the power behind the rise and fall of politicians. Some blogs' writing and images can leave a reader as wrung out and/or mezmerized as the best award-winning books out there. And now . . .

. . . it can get Kris Starr (erotic romance writer and all-around cutie-pie) near-nekkid in below-zero weather. KS, in a pink bikini.

You ask: Why should I pay for that?

The question should be: Why not?

The answer to question two, of course, is that it's hopelessly silly, probably demeaning and there are far worthier causes out there for your hard-earned money.

question three: But when has that ever stopped the power of us bloggers?

Feel the mighty blog force! See Kris's body covered with goosebumps! Eventually, maybe.

    Ha.

    Thanks, I think, Kate.

    And really, it's the power of a mere buck or two. Think about it -- do you really want to buy yourself that mochaccino or would you rather see an insanely crazy picture and be able to give thanks that It's Not You?

    The choice is easy, innit? :D

    (I know. God only knows why I'm trying to raise money. Dean's the one who should be doing all the work. I'M the one who might have to wear the damned thing...)

    Yeah, huh about sums it up.
    HOWEVER

    if I had a cute bod like Kris's, I'd be willing to wear that bikini too. Especially if it sold a few books. She worked hard to get that buffitude. Might as well not hide it under anoraks and hobobs and spelunks or whatever they call winter gear up there in Canada.

    Huh what?

    Is that because I'm being confusing, or is it the whole "bikini in winter" thing?

    I's confuzzled.

    ps. Thanks for the compliments, Kate!

    And I think I've got a spelunk or two in the closet. Don't forget your toque, either! :)

    No, it wasn't a "Huh" of confusion because there wasn't a question mark following it.

    It was more like, "Well, okay then."

    What the heck are hobobs? I had to look up what a mochaccino was too. I'm so out of it. I paid my $2 for the weasel bikini freeze off. I'm in or down or whatever the lingo is. If I had a good bod, I'd wear a bikini like that too, instead the only thing I can wear those things for is mule blinders. I'm the mule and the bikini is the blinders.

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.

I can't stay away from the subject of Sarah Palin. I've been looking at the trashiest stories, too. Nothing to do with her stands on important issues (or if Alaska's proximity to Russia means she's got experience with foreign issues). Some of my conclusions from the wading into useless dreck: She's far better looking than she was when she did sportscasting. Say what you like about her, I think she's pretty. She's probably got the sort of charisma that gives me the willies. A lot of people who are considered inspiring make me want to escape their presence. A form of jealousy? A sense of inferiority? Maybe. Anyway, from the reports I've read, she's supposed to be the sort of person who makes you feel as if she's listening to you and cares about your opinion. She's got a room-filling presence. Eeearrrgh. All of that sounds just like what they said about Bill Clinton. I never particularly paid attention to the fact that Hillary is female--sure
