When Bossy comes to town, things get just a little bit out of hand here in the Emerald City.
We bloggers perform unprecedented feats, like combing our hair, putting on makeup, and wearing deodorant. SOME of us even go the extra mile, sucking and gasping and zipping in the muffin tops with the help of highly controlling underwear.
Every time I get together with other bloggers I tell myself, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!and thank my stars that I happened into this weird and all-consuming hobby that just happens to hook me up with really incredible women who strangely enough are a lot like me.
For example, at the aforementioned Bossy get-together, there was this one woman called Mrs. G. who was really cool and insightful and had this really great laugh.
Then I read this post that she wrote after the event and seriously almost peed my pants with laughter.
The thing is, while she was wearing the NAME BRAND and highly expensive Spanx, I was wearing the cheapo Target variety.
But costly or not, the effects were the same.
While Mrs. G cut hers off with scissors on the sly, I pictured similar feats of madness in my mind. Only I wasn’t prepared with scissors.
This is my very roundabout way of saying that I am awarding the April Perfect Post Award to Mrs. G’s post about the Spanx. Because I love it. And it made me howl.
Check out the other Perfect Post awards (seriously, they make for great reading!) at Suburban Turmoil or Petroville.

I think the girls just look like they were having fun on ladies night! ;)

That was the funniest thing I have read!!
Those things are the devil FWIW, and there is no way that OPRAH wears them, I am like 1/4 of her size and I can’t last 1 hour in them.
I am sad that I don’t have a blogger posse yet.
Maybe someday…you know when I am a cooler blogger!!

I second your nomination for that post (does it work that way?). It was brilliant.

Ok,whataminute. Y’all got together like HERE? Obviously I’ve been working too much. Or I wasn’t INVITED. :: cough ::
Did I ever mention I was raised Catholic so guilt trips come naturally? :-)
Looks like ooodles of fun. OODLES I say.
Can I just pretend I’m the girl in the back with the brown hair? I look like her, sorta, if you squint super hard. Like when you’re drunk.

Thank you so much! I am flattered, and if I’d known you were also wearing those damn knock-offs while we were out, I would have pulled you into that bathroom and set you free!

Thank heavens I’m not the only one with the Spanks! Clicking over to read that blog…..

oh those things are EVIL. E-V-I-L. The saleswoman at LB offered some to me and it took superhuman strength to get them on… so I could try on more overpriced clothes – and then take them back off. It was cruel. Ok, I’m going over to read.

I agree, Mrs. G’s post was hilarious! If only I’d known what she was doing in the bathroom. If only she’d known that the rest of us were sucking it in too.

That was a howl. Perfect choice.
I’m so jealous I couldn’t be there to pinch your butt.
