We kid because we care

10 February 2006

Top 7 Reasons why Leab is well on his way to becoming Minnapolis's premiere gossip columnist:

  1. His story about me actually made me stop and wonder if he really *did* catch a glimpse of Her Highness's glowingness at a local Starbucks.
  2. 90% fiction, 10% truth (because there's no getting around the basic fact that I really am freakishly fair skinned).
  3. Going in for the kill by arranging for bad photograph scoop with Minneapolis's own paparazzi. Because clearly he couldn't have used one of the 10 billion GOOD pictures of me from my own photoblog. God knows what you did, Leab. There's no hiding from him.
  4. I've been banished to the bottom of the page in yesterday's news, right where I belong.
  5. Leab's favorite pastimes include: hiding in the bushes, chasing down people with his motorbike and 500mm camera strapped around his neck, and perching his martini guzzling self in the men's bathroom at Tiburon hoping for any sign of Don Shelby scoop to waltz its way in to his life.
  6. 80% chic scoop, 20% other shit nobody reads or cares about anyway.
  7. Ego almost as big as Paris Hilton's gnarly feet.

Namaste.

Comments

I particularly like the photo used to demonstrate Maggs' whiteness. I understand it was taken by one of Minneapolis' finest photobloggers. (I have better [read: embarrassing] shots if anyone cared.)

Of course, and as always, I get no respect around here. ;-)

That photo can also be found in a similar gossip rag's column in a piece entitled: "Sophie's ass: will it ever stop?"

Also cross-referenced under: "Sophie... and the junk in her trunk."

I don't know, after hearing about your Flickr totals from similar shots I think it should be titled:

"My Vanilla milkshake brings all the boys to the yard."

You know *the* flickr shot? Yeah. Almost 1300 views right now.

Umm.
1. It's a Vespa. I want to be chic, yet invasive.
2. What's wrong with hanging out at Starbucks waiting for gals to come in for lattes on their way to work?
3. You know what they say. Ego's so big, it's the reason we have winter. It rises up and blocks out the sun.
4. I'll make it up. I saw the list. I'll apologize that way. Then I'll "borrow" a self-portrait and post a nice story.

1300 views? I don't have that many view on my pics *combined*

Maybe I should do an artsy, quasi nude photo series. Wait. That might scare people away.

Hey hey hey, we don't call it "qausi-nude"... the proper delusional term around here is "organic photography." See how it just kinda rolls off the tongue?

I absoutely love Leab's little story about you, very chic.

I miss Starbucks!
Are you really that white that it's blog-worthy??

Oops, I'm way too tired. I forgot my name on my post.

Am I going to have to buy a lens?
