I hope 2009 was as big a year for you as it was for me. I mean, gee wiz, how many mirrors get the chance to reflect the most historic, fashion-forward woman on our feverish planet? My hard drive is still spinning with all the extraordinary memories. I promise I’ll reflect the best ones soon, but right now I’m just too dizzy with excitement … or maybe it’s still from the bubbly (France’s finest! After all, we Won!).
I’m going to try to catch a few more waves before our Polynesian dream vacation on Big Guy’s “birth island” comes to an end. Now I totally understand why we worked so hard, and spent so much money, to be born here instead of in Kenya or Kansas.
But today I want to take the opportunity to thank some of the people who made my first year of historic reflections possible. First, I want to thank the Prophet Algore for inventing the “interweb” for peaceful purposes. Next I want to thank, from the bottom of my quad-core processors, the millions and gazillions of loyal readers who drop by to enjoy my reflections and share their own: group hug.
And thanks to my artistic pals over at flatsimile studio (I’m going to have to ask Raj to get a website up for them when he gets back from his visit to Mumbai) who created another fun mosaic New Year’s greeting card. This one is a small tribute to the people who helped keep 2009 in focus and, I know, will help put our historic second year in context. You probably know most of them, even the ones who - like me - are sneaking into their basements under the cover of night to blog away in their pj’s and bunny slippers. Click and zoom away!
I know we missed many, and nobody other then moi will like all of them. But I hope it’s fun for you to try to find your favorites. Raj created a list of who’s in the mosaic - if you are from Chicago and want to cheat.

Happy New Year, Motus!
ReplyDeleteAnd here is a little something from Hawaii:

Here's to another year of your merciless reflections.
ReplyDeleteI see that MeShill gave big hugs to the black soldiers; both only had handshakes for whiteys. Could you work on that racist attitude this year Motus? 0zer0 and MeShill can't seem to hide it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year though.
MOTUS, Belt it out a la Carly:
ReplyDeleteYou walked into the White House like it was only a vacant lot
Your sweaters cling to your wide thighs
Your belt is a hangman’s knot
You have one eye in the mirror as you watch yourself gavotte
And Hillary’s fear was that she'd be your chauffeur
She'd be your chauffeur, and...
You're so vain you hate to think this blog is about you
You're so vain you hate to think this blog is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
Here's to making MOTUS MO's biggest nightmare!
Happy New Year!
Mrs. P
Breeze,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this and previous holiday links (although that naughty one in the bathing suit is likely to get me in hot water - It must have been from the afternoon I was enjoying my Mai Tais.)
Gerard,
Mercy me! This year my reflections may not be as forgiving. All I need to perform at my peak potential are your continued support, Algore's Interweb, and a year's supply of Glass Wax.
AnnieC,
You clearly have the O's mixed up with some republican. Please read some of my previous posts: we are the FIRST post- racial, post-partisan Administration ever. We don't act stupidly around here.
Mrs P!
You've outdone yourself! Can we perhaps catch your act in a club somewhere? We'll be there, no matter where it is - assuming it isn't in Fly-over. We're not allowed to use Air Force One
for personal gigs anymore, and you know how hard it is to get through security for commercial these days.
