Ten-Word Tuesday. The Bossy Needs You! Edition.
You are looking at just a fraction of the many amazing faces that will one day adorn Bossy’s Reader Collage & Blogroll, where one day equals the cold day in Hades when Bossy and her talented design team launch I Am Bossy’s new blog design.
And speaking of Bossy’s talented design team, they are building the collage so you will be able to see individual reader names as you move your curser across each photo, and you’ll be able to link to reader blogs, if they have one. If you’d like to learn more about participating in Project Collage & Blogroll, read this.
Bossy doesn’t want to give too much away about her new blog design, but here’s a sneak peek of a few other elements:
Bossy wants to talk about this last element. See the Keeping it real thing? That’s called a tagline—or maybe it’s called a byline or a catch phrase or a catch-a-liney-tag-by—but the point is: it’s supposed to help the first time reader understand what the blog is all about.
According to Bossy’s friend Andy, there should be total synergy between the blog name, the tagline, and the blog’s concept. And in the case of I Am Bossy? Not so much.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about: can you write a new tagline for Bossy in ten words or less?
If Bossy uses your tagline in her new blog design, Bossy will send you her favorite kitchen utensil. Hint: it’s long and sharp, but it’s no good when you need to stab yourself because you can’t think of a tagline.
Forget Andy, leave as is. So excited I made photo!
Bossy tested, mother approved!
You’re in good hands with Bossy!
I’ve seen the future, and it’s Bossy!
Oh wait, I bet these have to be original eh?
Yeah, I’ll be back later with something “original” when I’ve had some caffiene.
Putting the fun in dysfunction
I am bossy. Whattayagonnadoaboutit?
how many words is that? I reserve the right to try again after more coffee.
Because I said so. Gowmaface.
It’s Real, It’s Fun – It’s Real Fun!
I’m sorry, what was Bossy talking about again?
Total Bossy syzygy. [There's another Scrabble-winner for you.]
…not pushy
and you thought Tony Danza was the Boss.
I am bossy …… and so can you.
Gin filled cat bowls, horse sized dogs, and words.
I already love your ‘keeping it real, real silly’, taglne header whatever thingy, but so far MONKEYS comment “Gin filled cat bowls, horse sized dogs, and words.” seems the most appropriate…and accurate…and hysterical
Chugging life in one flaming cocktail after another.
My body is my temple. Inner demons worship regularly.
Don’t lose sleep over it. In fact, add another hour.
I love that picture of me! …I have hair.
“i am bossy: Where the bathrooms are free of Republicans.”
Bossy is my name, bossing is my blogging world game!
Hallie
Where Bossy means authoritative, like Webster said.
I am Bossy.
But in a totally good way.
So listen up, dammit.
Stunning the world with my awesomeness.
NOOOOO! Don’t change it! You already have my favorite tagline!
(Yes, that is 10 words.
And Yes, I am SERIOUS.)
Lord, but we’re an attractive bunch. Who’s the hottie in the bottom right corner in the green plaid shirt? I’d link that.
Sorry, what were we talking about?
Oh, tag-by-lines:
“Located at the intersection of OMG and WTF”
“Pinch of sass, hint of snark, and bottle of gin”
“Where wit is at it’s wits end”
“One nerve left, and you’re tap dancing on it”
“Now 3 Great Flavors!”
Ok, I stole that from the Pizza Hut ad next to the comment box. What, it’s distracting.
I’m voting to keep it the same!!!
and is it weird for a blog stalker to have a dream that she visited your house in real life? Yah…. i thought so… then no, no, i had no such dream…
i agree your tagline totally rocks. don’t change it please!!!
I AM BOSSY
“Goddess–Guru–GOOF!”
… now read my damn blog or else.
Um, not mine. Yours. Feel free to read mine if you’d like. But I’m not bossy or anything. I’m not Bossy either. Just sayin’.
Okay, bye.
I Am Bossy
Now, with more cow bell
Now strike through I am and let Bossy get to work
Okay, it didn’t take my code and strikethrough the “I am”. Geez. Anyway, imagine a slash going through the “I am.”
I too vote to keep the original. I am especially fond of ’silly’.
I found this:
pop culture humor blog
Did you know you’re at the top of google for “bossy”?
How about: Have scarf, will travel.
I am partial to the current tag line as well.
I love love love your current tag line!
But I also like Tina’s entry above.
Bossy is Bossy, but she’s not the boss of you.
PS – Forget Andy. Real silly is where it’s at.
See the world through my sunglasses (once I find them)
i am bossy
where my opinion counts.
…Hey Miss Bossy, I say synergy-schmynergy. I’m with the masses up there regarding don’t change the tagline. It’s so you. Period.
)
…I’m way over 10 words but I really didn’t need a pair of tongs anyway… ;o)
…Tuesday blessings…
I am Bossy…Domineering in a likable kind of way.
“I am Bossy:
Bossy Puts the Crass in Procrastination… Eventually”
And I do mean that in the most loving way.
I am Bossy
and confused.
I like the original.
If you change it it, it should have words like zingy in it. You always remind me of zingy.
“Mostly silly with a modicum of zinginess”
God, I’ve already HAD my coffe and that’s the best I can do.
No tagline ideas, but, damn, how hairy are my forearms? (B-2 in the collage) I could host a family of spotted owls in there.
i am Bossy
just do what I say
i am Bossy
(and aware of it)
i am Bossy
really…
i am Bossy
ask anyone!
wife, mother, dog owner, daughter, homeowner, traveller, wine sipper, etc.
I agree with the tagline thing going with the blog title.Like mine ‘The Glamorous Life Association- Lifetime Memberships available”
I am Bossy
“Bossing others around since 2005″
I am Bossy
“Telling you like it is. And how it isn’t”
I am Bossy
“Not just my kids boss. Your boss too”
I am Bossy
“Forcing you to see the silly”
I am Bossy
“get ready to be forced into laughter”
OH…Good God, I’m not that creative.
Bossy is as Bossy does. Really.
