The Travelling T-Shirt Meets The Rack
I’ve had a pretty fun time joking about my rack on this lovely website. I have hailed The Glorious Rack in all its wonder… I have also called it a couple of socks with oranges in them behind The Rack’s back… shhhh.
“The Rack” gained popularity after I did this fun giveaway, and it’s been a running gag here ever since.
I’m even celebrating each month of 2008 with a picture of The Rack.

And now? The Rack has met The Travelling T-Shirt.
What is The Travelling T-Shirt, you ask?
The Official Words:
The Travelling T-Shirt has come from Lightening Online and is making its way around the world until December 1st when one lucky participant will be voted a winner and Lightening will gift that person a cash amount (determined by the total number of participants). For more information please visit the Travelling T-Shirt page.
I am honored to say that The Rack has been The Travelling T-Shirt‘s first stop on the glorious journey it will no doubt take between now and December. Bloggers All Over The Place will have a chance to do silly and fun things with The Travelling T-Shirt and then pass it on to others. Every time it gets passed, the Cash Jackpot grows!
Each blogger gets to decide how the next will be chosen…
So…
I want to see your rack.
Send me your (clothed) BEWBS! (Seriously. No unfettered Melons, please.)
And yes! Men are welcome to join in. Ante up those PECS!
This post is up at 12:01AM CST, Tuesday June 3rd. You have until 10:00PM CST, Wednesday June 4th to photograph Your Rack in all its Glory, and send your photo to me: thelotuscarroll@gmail.com
That’s almost 2 whole days, so I better get lots of Awesome BEWBS and PECS in my inbox!
On Thursday, The Masses will excercise the Power of The Vote! That’s right… YOU will decide whose BEWBS or PECS I will send The Travelling T-Shirt to next! (By anonymous poll.)
Now grab your rack and your camera and get to it! I’m waiting!
*BEWBS*
(sorry, just wanted to type it one more time)
You ask, I deliver.

Today’s PhotoHunt Theme:
Self (yourself, or part of you)
I have issues. It’s official. This post proves it.
Lilacspecs “Triple Dawg Dared” me to show my unshaven pits when I joked about it on this post.
Then Madness said she wanted to see them too, and requested my hairy legs to go along with them. (Incidentally, Sunshine also wants a leg hair picture.)
Allie actually challenged me to “grow a pair” and show my pit. Whoa.
And Kat almost broke her desk, beating on it and yelling, “ArmPIT! ArmPIT! ArmPIT!”
Christie, Shannymar, Mommy Cracked, Jennifer, Cate, MP, Scylla, Angela, Jenny from Mommin’ It Up!, Jenny-Bloggess,BusyDad, Dirty Laundry Diva, and Veronica all chimed in to support the idea of armpit posting, in one way or another.
Queen of Shake Shake accused me of making everyone wait because I had to grow it out! I’ll have you know I took the picture the very next day! (And no, one could not exactly braid the hair, but it’s past the point of stubble.)
Several people were clearly against posting the armpit hair.
Wright is scared and wants a warning (consider this it, honey).
Lou’s not particularly fond of pit hair, he says, and my even mentioning it brings back bad memories of nipple hair for him. He now claims I owe him a Rack shot to make up for that. As if I haven’t given plenty of those already!
Rachel says she is not looking forward to the pic (but still loves me). *whew*
Bee Repartee “says no to armpit hair” even though she has a French name. Do you also dislike cheese and wine!? We should really just start calling you “Becky Smith” or something, you realize.
Karen MEG actually said I was scaring her and called the whole thing a threat!
Some comments were a bit ambiguous…
Amanda said posting the pic was a tease, and she’d rather sniff my armpit. That’s why I love her so much.
Melissaz said she wouldn’t be able to sleep if I post a pic. I can’t tell if that’s because she’d be too busy vomiting in disgust, or laughing in merriment, to sleep.
Taz just said, “armpit??? Girlfriend, does this mean you’re not familiar with the body part or are you just questioning my sanity with very brief typing?
Sandy(Momisodes) calls it a threat… but says that she supports me. Hmmm. I can’t read you, Sandy!
Karen said she thinksshe can do without the armpit hair… but that I have to if I’ve been TDD’ed and says she’ll cover her eyes… but peek! MIXED MESSAGES, KAREN, SHEESH!
In the end, I have to go with the majority here. I’m all democratic and junk, see? And those who desire to see my pits (and legs), no matter how immensely disturbed they clearly are, win out on this round.
And really, since I’ve already show all of creation My Backfat:

And My Just Woken-Up Face:

What’s a few more gross pictures?
Remember, we all look like this. Admitting it can only make us more comfortable with who we really are.
So, with what will possibly be a little regret once I see how GROSS they look published in all their largeness…
Right Pit:

Left Pit, With BONUS DISGUSTING MOLE!:

Legs:

I hope you’re happy.
And that you didn’t throw up a little (or a lot) in your mouth.
Now, I seriously deserve your vote for Hottest Mommy Blogger. Because what’s hotter than Every.Single.One of the photos in this post? ![]()
It seems like a raw deal, but don’t worry – I hit like a girl.
I finally posted Braden’s 18-Month Update.
Yes, I know he’s over 19-months old now. I have been pretty good this year about writing His Updates, but I fell way behind on the last two. I know, I know, excuses are like a-holes, yadda yadda yadda. If you can find me, you can write “SLACKER” on my forehead with black permanent marker.
But I get to punch you in the face afterwards.
Sorry, them’s the rules, pardner.
Soon, I’ll even be actually writing his 19-Month Update. If I’m feeling particularly nutty, it might even get finished, oh, I don’t know, before he turns 20-Months old? I know! You can’t believe the insanity! Who would actually do this sort of thing on time?
Oh! Someone who’s not Terminally Behind In Life? I’ll have to remember that.
Anyway, go over and read it. Please? I back-dated it to the proper date, and now it’s really lonely out there in “Old Posts Land.” You don’t want Braden to one day view it and think everyone hated him when he was 18-Months old, do you? Of course not! Only a cold, heartless bastard would let that happen! And you are not that. You are wonderful people!
Btw, I’m thinking this post clearly shows what a good parent I am, and what an amazing parenting blogsite this is. Don’t you agree? You do!? Why, I am so incredibly flattered and taken by surprise!
Of course, just to make it official, you should go vote this site as Best Parenting Blog.

I Feel Dirty (and so do my floors)…
Dear Dyson Vacuum Cleaners:
You make me weap tears of desire. When I gaze upon you, something inside me quickens.
I yearn to wrap my fingers around your DC25‘s upright handle. Just thinking about your Quick-Draw Telescope Reach™ Wand makes me feel all tingly. You are so lightweight that I know I could carry you upstairs to the bedroom with ease.
I gasped audibly when I read about how your Root Cyclone Technology enables you to perform endlessly without losing a bit of suction power as time goes on. This thrills me to no end.
And the thought of your On Board Accessory Tools? Kinky. Wherever we might be, we could try anything.
Also, a motorized bush brush bar with fingertip control? *prrrrrr*
Your washable HEPA filter and hygienic storage container tell me that even though I could get you dirty so easily, I could slip your parts into the bath and make you brand new again.
I know they say you empty quickly. Normally, that’s a bad thing, but with you? It just means we can be together over and over again with minimal down-time. I like that. A lot. *wink,wink*
I fantasize about guiding you gently… helping you move this way and that with ease, because of your amazing “Ball™ technology.”
Oh, Dyson! I want to love you forever and ever as you suck my carpets and floors clean!

So… why do you have to be so MFing expensive?
All My Love,
Lotus
Dummyface stages diaperhead dinner…
So, I posted this on Braden’s Photo Site the other day… but many of you don’t view that, so I couldn’t resist putting it here, as well.
Because it made me laugh way too much when I put the Swim Diaper on his head.
What? You don’t put swim diapers on your kid’s head to keep him from getting baked bean juice in his hair while he’s eating and trying to push the hair out of his eyes? OHHHH, your kid gets regular haircuts? And I’m a dummyface?
Gotcha.
But look how cute it is:
And he looked so funny wearing it, that I couldn’t resist filming him while he ate. Here’s the video:
Clearly, he was meant for great things.
Either that, or God just wanted to give us an opportunity to make the “fivehead” joke about our son.
Because that? Is definitely not a forehead. Bonafide “fivehead” is what that is, my friends.
If only the similarities extended beyond the face…
Having been told multiple times in the past few months of the resemblance between Ellen Page and myself, I decided to post this collage, for your amusement.
Or maybe just for mine.

She, however, is quite petite. I’d appreciate it if the rest of my body decided to mimic her appearance.
*gives dirty look to stomach, butt, and thighs*
(And they know I’m talking about them, but are they ashamed? Nooooo! They just sit there, waiting to jiggle when I move and mocking me with their dimples.)
