Bossy Is Introducing A Feature So Convoluted She Has To Launch It On The Weekend.

Bossy thought it would be fun to have a Bloggers. They’re Just Like Us! Feature in her left column, where fun equals sister mercy how many more ways can Bossy avoid thinking of a book idea?

It will be kind of like this, only dumber.

Here’s what Bossy needs: participating bloggers! Lots and lots of bloggers. If you don’t have a blog, pester your favorite bloggers to participate!

Here’s what to do: email Bossy a photo of you, doing whatever, with a caption and your blog link, and Bossy will feature your photo in the Virtual Peek section of the left column before assigning it a permanent home in the excellent Bloggers. They’re Just Like Us! archives.

To review: blogger, email, photo, caption, link, the drool coming from the corner of Bossy’s mouth.

Who’s in?

   You are so funny!

   My caption…

   One Friday night, I loaded up my life and headed out. Toward my favorite things. Now I’m on a rural island, eco building a rustic cabin and eating raw grub. P.S. I want my TV back!

   I’m in. But only if I can find a picture of me where I look as good as Rachel McAdams. If I do, what size does it need to be when I email it?

   I am in. I just need to decide if I want to be blond, brunette, or redhead when I take that pic.

   I’ll most likely join in. Even though I am forced to dowload my picture into my husbands computer because mine is still broken.

   I have a pressing question. In the picture of Marcia Cross with a twin in a pouch, is that baby gnawing on a giant Calzone?

   Oh, Bossy. You’ve piqued this almost-old mare’s interest. Just give me a few days to get myself real drunk, but I’ll put on the eyeliner tonight … after round one of drinking, yet before I sleep. Squee!

   And I thought I gave you a book idea? A picture or story book of STELLA! Kids would eat that stuff right up.
   Are you familiar with Howie Schneider’s books about the adventures of his dog Amos?

    Can I be in both Bossy’s They’re just Like Us and Us Magazine’s They’re Just Like Us? Because I’m pretty sure the paparazzi snapped a photo of me pumping gas in my yoga clothes this morning.

    I emailed already.. BAM.. yeah.. that fast.

    Fun idea Bossy.

    I am in. And my photo SO doesn’t look like me. But see 25 bucks a year on Flickr and you can TOTALLY RETOUCH your photo. It’s the only way to fly.

    I can’t wait to see all the pics.

    Uncle. It’s too busy now Bossy. I loved the simpleness of your artwork, your family, your vacations, your daily life…too much busy-ness, damn my pupils have burst.

    Hey! Bossy is still blogging! Yay!

    (Tonight I realized that I hadn’t seen a new Bossy post in awhile. Hmmmm. Odd. Better check. Nope, no new posts for two weeks. Gracious! Maybe I should check the site manually instead of in a reader?

    OH! Bossy redid the site! And changed the feed! Which I see was mentioned in the first post-beautyshop post, but of course I didn’t see the post at the time because it was on the new feed… that I didn’t know to change to. But now I’m here and I feel smart. Yay for smartness! And smartassness! And for getting to enjoy a backlog of Bossyness! The silver lining is extra-shiny tonight…)

    I’m in!!! But I want to make sure that you add a dumb caption under the picture as well. Something like: “Bloggers, they’re just like us: thingy is drinking coffee/getting wasted/picking their nose/having a bad hair day/has hair…”

    Are you sure you want to post a picture of me ironing in my underpants on your site? Or picking my nose at a stoplight? OK, if you say so…. I’m in!

    What the heck, I’m game. I’ll wait until I’m hugely pregnant or just after I have El Baby and send a picture. Then I will be keeping it super realz.

    Does this mean that people that don’t blog also make fun of themselves, display their most unflattering pictures and go on incessantly about every detail of their personal lives? I’m playing! Now I just have to think up a good picture.

    I’m in. Sadly, my archives have few photos of me since I am always the one taking the picture. Someday when my children look back and try to remember their childhoods through pictures, they will think they were raised by their father alone.

    While it will be difficult to find a photo of me doing something that is not fabulous and exotic, I’m sure I can find a photo SOMEWHERE of me doing some mundane task.
