Recently I got an email from a reader who wondered about my ’silliness factor’ because he (it is so incredibly important to note that he’s a he) said that “girls like [me] who have all that sexiness don’t need to be funny.”
Wow. You think I’m a girl?
Writing a blog (as opposed to doing a podcast) sometimes loses something because you can’t hear my voice or see my expression or watch me flip you off when you utter such asisine statements. So, in order to fully appreciate the I’m-one-girl-you-don’t-want-to-mess-with vibe I’m giving you, Mark, then I want you to imagine a sympathetic, baby-talk, I-do-voice-overs-for-Disney-princesses voice when I say this:
“No, honey. The funny is wrapped up in the very sexy which is also very strong from years of weight lifting and very pliable from gymnastics and tae bo whose leg would reach right up and kick your ass.”
I’m done addressing Mark.
It makes me wonder though, has he never heard of Sarah Silverman? So much to teach. So much to teach. The next time I get a chance, I’m buying her “Jesus is Magic” movie because I nearly pissed my pants laughing.
Pant-pissing is a high indicator of funny. Not so much sexy, but definitely funny.
Speaking of pant-pissing, the following picture is me in all my dorkiness that is simply a way to get you over to the Queen of Spain’s site to read all about my winning BlogHer tuition. To wit:
Go check out this site to see what all the hoopla is about. And know this: the Queen and I are bringing these tiaras to meet one another. I’m not a bit ashamed to pack it in a suitcase and have the airport personnel open it up in front of other flyers and ask, “Ma’am? Did you plan on using it as a weapon? What are your intentions with this crown?”
Because I’m both goofy and royal.
This one? This is for all those people who fail to recognize that funny is sexy.

Love that last picture.
Maybe that’s why I don’t post my picture on my blog. Cause once people realize how friggen HOT I am, they won’t take me seriously. Well, that’s one theory!

I think your crown is a little crooked… oh well, it matches that crooked halo.

Kelly, I can see hot chick pics thousands of places on the web! That’s not why I come through,(OK, I admit, it’s an attraction, ::GRIN::) I actually do come through because I enjoy reading your posts and no I’m not sayin’ I only read the articles in Playvboy, either!::BIGEVILGRIN::

Oh no he DIDn’t.
Well, apparently he did.
I have noticed that a fair number of very smart people are also very funny. I find both to be very sexy and the combination of the two is unbeatable.
It appears that Mark is not overly bright. Or humorous. No wonder he needs more cheesecake in his life ;^)

I bow down to the Super Sexy & Funny Queen Kelly.

My husband has a tshirt that exact color! And he insists on wearing it out in public.
Funny and smart are both sexy. If Mark disagrees, let him go somewhere else.
I wish I’d been on the ball enough to write a guest post for QofS. A huge congrats goes out to you for winning - you’ll have such a good time!

Sasha - I’ll have to take your word for it, because even I, the Queen, have never laid eyes on you.
Jess - If you’d stop smackin’ me upside the head I could keep these crowns and halos straight. But noooooooooooo.
Tom - You and your evil grins. I’m always glad to see you around, Tom. You normally just want me to get up on my soapbox anyway. We stand on the same one most times!
Pam - Smart is preferable, but when funny is added, I agree. The combination is unbeatable. Trust me, hon. You’ve got it, too. Plus the Boca Bitchiness, which is like ULTRA sexxxaaayyyyy.
PB - Oh, you are too kind! What a doll you are. Now THERE’S a great t-shirt line, huh?
Wait. I don’t like it. I want a pic of my hubby flipping the bird. That’s really cute.
Erin - We, here in Illinois, don’t mind that color. It’s the fighting Illini color and we desperately want to be part of the Orange Crush! Woo Hoo for U of I! (Not that we attended or anything…)
Also…. did you WANT to go to BlogHer? Are you really interested? Let me know.
Tanilan - Not too goofy? You think? Really? I was going to go with a bigger crown, but thought better of it.

lmfao, a fun read!
Have to remember though you have two parking places and keep forgetting this one.
Girl, eh? Haven’t seen it in a while now, but used to be guys would wander onto the feminism board and invariably refer to women as girls, usually at their peril.

Ah. Up here we call it “traffic cone orange” and wearing it in public is a no-no. I do have a friend who went to Wheaton and LOVES it, though. That’s a great picture, not matter what color the t-shirt, definitely one for the memory books!

Congratulations on your BlogHer tuition! That’s wonderful. Maybe I’ll see you there next year.
