<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://kaiseralex.com/2008/06/04/the-importance-of-a-properly-fitting-bra" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://sarcasticmom.com/images/09.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">CONGRATULATIONS, <strong><a title="Alex Year Two" href="http://kaiseralex.com" target="_blank">DAWN</a></strong>!</span></p>
<p>Official Acceptance Speech From Dawn:</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;d like to thank the academy of wonderful Sarcasticmom.com readers who voted for me, my husband for always offering to hold mah bewbs for me when the load is too heavy, my son for encouraging me to carry him all the time to build my arm muscles, I&#8217;d like to thank God for um &#8230; blessing? &#8230;. me with porn star dimensions naturally, I&#8217;d like to thank contestant #12 for giving me such a run for my money &#8211; I voted for you, you HAWT thing! and finally, (music plays &#8230;) I&#8217;d like to thank my Panache Tango II Superbra for supporting me all these years! Thank You All!</p></blockquote>
<p>Let&#8217;s not forget our 2 fabulous runners up!  Congratulations, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">BEWBS</span> Ladies!</p>
<p>Second Place: Nikki, <strong><a title="Secrets of a Black Heart" href="http://lsecretsofablackheart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Secrets of a Black Heart</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://lsecretsofablackheart.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://sarcasticmom.com/images/12.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Third Place: Tena, <strong><a title="My Therapy" href="http://therapyfortena.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Therapy</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://therapyfortena.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://sarcasticmom.com/images/23.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Now, I may be a total assbrain <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">for so many reasons, they would not even fit on this page</span> to think it would be a prize for someone to guest post here.  But I&#8217;d love to harass these three fine ladies into guest posting&#8230; you know, so that we can get to know them a bit more now that you have all given them accolades for their, um, obvious endowments. <img src='http://sarcasticmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What do you say?  Let&#8217;s get to know the BRAINS behind our winning BEWBS!</p>
<p>An honorable mention goes to a sweet, sassy, and silly friend of mine, Angie, who didn&#8217;t want to be considered since she&#8217;s not officially blogging yet.  Instead, she just wanted to send me her Bouncin&#8217; Preggo BEWBS just for fun.  Everyone needs a friend like that, right? <img src='http://sarcasticmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s her Rack:</p>
<p><img src="http://sarcasticmom.com/images/angie.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>On to the next bit of BEWBS Business.  (Have you noticed yet how much I like to type, &#8220;BEWBS?&#8221;)</p>
<p>There was a slight BEWB Mishap in putting together the <strong><a title="Vote For Best Chest!" href="http://sarcasticmom.com/?p=387" target="_blank">Best Chest Voting Post</a></strong>.  EEEEK!</p>
<p>These BEWBS got lost in my inbox!<br />
<a href="http://mommyalwayswins.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://sarcasticmom.com/images/mommyalwayswins.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>And these BEWBS got eaten by my website&#8217;s Spam Filter!<br />
<img src="http://sarcasticmom.com/images/lawschoolsucks.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>It is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SO</span> very sad when BEWBS lose their way. *sniff*</p>
<p>In order to make it up to these BEWBS, I&#8217;m offering <em>&#8220;You Didn&#8217;t Even Have A Chance, And That&#8217;s Not Fair!&#8221;</em> consolation prizes to their owners.  Each will receive a <strong><a title="Brookstone" href="http://www.brookstone.com/" target="_blank">Brookstone</a></strong> Floating Photo Frame.</p>
<p><a title="06.09.08 fpf by Lotus Carroll, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thelotuscarroll/2567024930/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3123/2567024930_8652c567ab_m.jpg" alt="06.09.08 fpf" width="180" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>How does it work?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s Magic, Dummy. Just like a fine rack.</p>
<p>Last bit of BEWBS Business (for now):</p>
<p>These BEWBS&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.whiskeyinmysippycup.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://sarcasticmom.com/images/16.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230;made me laugh <span style="text-decoration: underline;">so.very.much</span>.</p>
<p>And the fabulous woman (&#8220;<strong><a title="Whiskey In My Sippy Cup" href="http://www.whiskeyinmysippycup.com/" target="_blank">Mr. Lady</a></strong>&#8220;) who owns them has so many creative words of wonderfulness and hilarity on a regular basis that if you&#8217;re not subscribed to her website, you are missing out, and should <a href="http://www.whiskeyinmysippycup.com" target="_blank"><strong>go over there</strong></a> and do that.  Now.</p>
<p>For veritably choking me with laughter when I saw her last minute entry into the <strong><a title="Vote For Best Chest!" href="http://sarcasticmom.com/?p=387" target="_blank">Best Chest Contest</a></strong>, I am going to give the owner of those BEWBS what she needs.  A T-Shirt.</p>
<p>A <em><strong><a title="John Carroll Guitar" href="http://www.myspace.com/johncarrollguitar  " target="_blank">John Carroll</a></strong></em> T-Shirt.</p>
<p><a title="06.09.08 jcfront by Lotus Carroll, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thelotuscarroll/2566076531/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3186/2566076531_b65025070a_m.jpg" alt="06.09.08 jcfront" width="180" height="240" /></a> <a title="06.09.08 jcback by Lotus Carroll, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thelotuscarroll/2566076831/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3168/2566076831_8f273ac986_m.jpg" alt="06.09.08 jcback" width="180" height="240" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Kudos to the designer</span></p>
<p>These are no longer manufactured, baby, so that&#8217;s a collectors item. <img src='http://sarcasticmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thank you again to all the wonderful contestants who were willing to humor me and entertain you by submitting their upper torsos!  You guys rock!</p>

<p>Dang, I loves me some bling. And there are some FREAKIN&#8217; AWESOME people out there, feeding my need for it.</p>
<p>Have I mentioned before that I am needy? That you must love me? No? Well, yeah.</p>
</div>
<div align="center">*******</div>
<div align="left">So first of all, the one that left me stammering, &#8220;I&#8217;m&#8230;n-n-Nice?&#8221;</div>
<p>Apparently the answer is, &#8220;Yes, yes I am.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some time ago (October 17th) <a href="http://kaiseralex.com/">Dawn</a> was being all generous and gave me this award:
<p align="center"><a href="http://kaiseralex.com/2007/10/17/i-love-yall/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5124337513189261474" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_dhrqrGiDO6I/Rx1N0X7awKI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ms53NeCc__A/s320/nice.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>
<p align="left">And I have to say it&#8217;s not often I get recognized for <em>anything</em> having to do with BEING <em>NICE</em>.</p>
<p>
<p align="left">(Most of the time it&#8217;s my ultra anger and quick temper, sarcastic comments and snide remarks, or snarky attitude and violent tendencies that tend to get noticed. In a not good way.) </p>
<p>
<p align="left">So, that&#8217;s special, and stuff. And it means I have her properly fooled. Perhaps it&#8217;s time to get her drunk and <em>really</em> take advantage of her tender feelings towards me? Hm.</p>
<p>
<p align="left">I, in turn, am giving the lovely award/button-thingy to:<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/sonictatertots">Amanda</a>, because she is often nice when I couldn&#8217;t be,<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/fabulouskarleigh">Karleigh</a>, because she considers it a blessing to know my family! Wow.<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/fabulouskarleigh">Anna</a>, because she always leaves me such sweet comments.</p>
<p>
<p align="left">Put these on your myspace blogs or pages or something, or I&#8217;ll hunt you down and rip off yer faces.<br />Oh, that wasn&#8217;t very <strong><em>nice</em></strong>, was it? Hm. Well, I already got the award, so HAHA!</p>
<p align="center">*******</p>
<p>In what I can only liken to a drug-dealer feeding a first-timer his first several hits of coke, <a href="http://somedaywewillsleep.blogspot.com/">Veronica</a> keeps giving me BUTTONS!</p>
<p>(Don&#8217;t stop, don&#8217;t stop&#8230; right in that vein, oh yeah&#8230;.)</p>
<p>This one claims that I&#8217;m a Blogging Star. I always knew I was hot stuff!</p>
<p>Check out its shiny-goodness:</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z236/veronica1211/blogstar.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 149px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 149px" height="152" alt="" src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z236/veronica1211/blogstar.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Oh, yeah, and this was on Veronica&#8217;s post about it, so I&#8217;ll put it here as well&#8230; don&#8217;t want anyone giving me death threats later for not following rules of some sort&#8230; or something like that.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The Blogging Star was created by Barb of </span><a style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms" href="http://skittles0366.blogspot.com/2007/08/blogging-star-award.html"><span style="font-size:85%;">Skittles’ Place</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;">, who says:<br />This award is for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogosphere. Some do it with humor, others with creativity, and others with their kind and thoughtful natures. We all know more than a few of them so why not give them some recognition?<br />Here’s what to do if you receive this:</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">* Proudly display it on your blog along with a link to who gave it to you.<br />* Mention that it originated here at Skittles’ Place so I can follow its journey.<br />* Pass it on to any blogger(s) you think should have it.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"></span><br />And I&#8217;d like to pass this one on to one of my very best friends, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/soapysmith">Sarah Porter</a>, who has been blogging her freaking heart out since before I ever even knew her.</p>
<p>She started off on <a href="http://blog.myspace.com/29071131">her Myspace blog</a>, and now has a lovely blogsite, <a href="http://www.imaginarybinky.com/">imaginary binky</a>.</p>
<p>Her posts are funny, intelligent, and always entertaining. Go read her, subscribe to her feeds, and love on her with many comments, please.</p>
<div align="center">*******</div>
<p>Also, apparently, I&#8217;m a &#8220;Treat!&#8221;</p>
<p>What? You didn&#8217;t know?</p>
<p>Well, I am. A Sweet, Yummy Treat. So there.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s proof&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://whatworksforus.blogspot.com/">WorksForMom</a> went and <a href="http://whatworksforus.blogspot.com/2007/10/paying-it-forward.html">gave me some bling</a> just for loving on her words.</p>
<p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://whatworksforus.blogspot.com/2007/10/paying-it-forward.html"><img style="WIDTH: 138px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 197px" height="187" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_tfIImswzdqA/RyNMHbDLUwI/AAAAAAAAAe0/lCu6xqwAyB4/s200/halloween%2Bsweet.gif" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>
<p align="left">Now, if I could just be covered in nuts&#8230; wait, let&#8217;s not finish that thought.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had so many great new commenters lately, and I freakin&#8217; LOVE <em>all </em>of you, man.</p>
<p>But who&#8217;s been &#8216;treating&#8217; me to LOTS of ego petting lately? The really special kind?</p>
<p>Well, <a href="http://www.secretagentmama.com/blog/">Secret Agent Mama</a> and Heidi Hyde are definitely getting this one.</p>
<p>SAM&#8217;s my self-appointed &#8220;Stalker McStalkerson&#8221; (you crack me up, woman) and HH claims to have a crush on me. Advertises it on her site! I couldn&#8217;t be happier.</p>
<p>
<div align="center">*******</div>
<p><a href="http://mom-chatter.blogspot.com/2007/10/you-make-me-smile.html"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 256px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px" height="214" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_H3dR-iZ3TBY/Rx-MV5Nsk_I/AAAAAAAAAMI/4dLupH9TmRQ/s320/SmileAward.jpg" border="0" /></a>
<div align="left">This lovely piece of Happy, Smiley Bling was given to me by the always delightful <a href="http://mom-chatter.blogspot.com/">Mom Chatter.</a></div>
<div align="left">She recently posted her 100th post! Learn all about her by reading <a href="http://mom-chatter.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-100th-post-all-bout-me.html">it</a>. <img src='http://sarcasticmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>
<p>
<div align="left">I am going to be passing this bling on to <a href="http://takeluck.spaces.live.com/">Siobhan</a>. She made me smile very, very largely by creating the group, &#8220;<a href="http://nablopomo.ning.com/group/reallyreallyridiculouslygoodlookingbloggers">Really, Really Ridiculously Good Looking Bloggers</a>,&#8221; on the <a href="http://nablopomo.ning.com/">NaBloYoHos website</a>.</div>
<p>
<p>I officially love her all day and night for that.</p>
<p>
<p>For all of you out there who may also be really, really ridiculously good looking bloggers, please remember, &#8220;Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn&#8217;t mean that we too can&#8217;t not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.&#8221;</p>
<p>
<p>Words to live by.</p>

<div align="left">This beautific bling was recently give to me by the Lovely Heidi Hyde.</div>
<p>
<div align="left">Apparently, I&#8217;m freakin&#8217; inspirational.</div>
<p>Who woulda thunk it?</p>
<div align="left"></div>
<div align="left">Braden requested that I pass this Hootarific guy on to <a href="http://somedaywewillsleep.blogspot.com/">Amy, via Veronica</a>, for inspiring him and all the other <a href="http://somedaywewillsleep.blogspot.com/2007/10/revolution.html">Revolutionaries</a> out there to <a href="http://somedaywewillsleep.blogspot.com/2007/10/12-steps-to-teaching-your-parents-that.html">Deny Sleep!</a> and adhere to <a href="http://sarcasticmom.blogspot.com/2007/10/onward-soldiers.html">The Plan</a>.</div>
<div align="left">*chuckle*</div>
</p>
<p align="center">*******</p>
<p>I received this shiny award from <a href="http://rnning2wn2.blogspot.com/">Rhonda</a> for being damn funny. Yes, I know it doesn&#8217;t say, &#8220;damn&#8221; anywhere on it. I&#8217;m taking creative license.</p>
<p>Thanks, Rhonda! It&#8217;s nice to know that nowadays, people aren&#8217;t just laughing AT me because I&#8217;m a stupid dork, but they are actually sometimes laughing WITH me!</p>

<p align="left">You know who else is damn funny? <a href="http://bgathen.wordpress.com/">Bill Gathen</a> has been making me laugh my freaking ass off lately. This guy is hilarious, and his writing is witty and intelligent. Go forth and read him. Subscribe to his words and love them. You will be glad you did.</p>
<div align="center">*******</div>
<div align="left">Last, but most certainly not least, is an award that got me all teary eyed.</div>
<div align="left"></div>
<div align="left"><a href="http://kaiseralex.com/">Dawn</a> gave me this award on Saturday:</div>
<p align="center"><a href="http://kaiseralex.com/2007/11/24/friendship-award/"><img src="http://denofwolves.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/th_7076p7ethe-colors-of-friendship-pos.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>
<div align="left">It truly made me feel great/honored/special. I felt my love for her reciprocated, and that&#8217;s always an awesome feeling, ya dig?</p>
<p>She&#8217;s been such a good friend to me already in the short time I&#8217;ve known her. She&#8217;s a blog friend who I believe has my back. She&#8217;ll answer my e-mails and stick with me if I&#8217;m worried about something (like my husband flying in possible ice/snow conditions, let&#8217;s say?) and make me feel better.</p></div>
<p>She gets stuff. You know? I *heart* her, lots.</p>
<p>Can I give this back to you, Dawn? Heh.</p>
<p>I guess not, but the person I would like to give this to is someone else who&#8217;s been supporting me ever since I left the HOLE that is the Myspace Blog and come out into the real blog world:</p>
<p>
<div align="center"></div>
<div align="center"><a href="http://somedaywewillsleep.blogspot.com/">Veronica at Sleepless Nights</a></div>
<div align="left">
