Blogger Babe in Fedora:

Sorry guys Babe in Fedora wins every time

Sorry guys nothing trumps a blogger babe in a fedora.

I fell asleep on the couch last night and work up at 5 a.m. Much to my youngest’s dismay I don’t see Fitchburg schools listed as canceled but I did turn on Way Too Early with Willie Geist and I see they have discovered Eric Fuller now that he has apologized.

That delay resulted in this post which resulted in my single best day since the blog opened, so I guess I should thank the MSNBC crew for delaying.

I presume Morning Joe will have it as well, but the focus is likely going to be another Palin derangement syndrome day.

(I think the battle hymn song is over the top, I think it enters Palin cult territory. I’m sure they are very nice people but I thought it was shall we say…amusing. )

…to all of you who voted for her in the Savvy Magazine Modeling contest. With your effort and votes she finished 6th overall qualifying for the photo spread that may or may not start her on the way to a successful modeling career.

It is important to note that for her and for all the other young ladies who managed to make the top 10 (and consider the difference between 10th and 11th was only 43 votes) this represents only a foot in the door so to speak. It will be up to each one of them to work hard, avoid pitfalls and temptations, and turn this start into a successful future in modeling or media.

But those hurdles are ahead of them, for now it is a time to smile and celebrate. So Hallie, congratulations! May this be just the start of a fantastic year for you and yours.

(and thanks for your kind words).

As you know I’ve given an inordinate amount of my time in the last month to a young lady named Hallie Miller.

She is part of a contest where the top 10 finishers get a magazine spread. She is working hard to chase her dream and when I went to bed at 2 a.m. she was in 6th. I assumed the contest was over and went there this morning to see a thank you post.

Much to my surprise I saw this post which said:

This is the last day of the contest that I am in and I could really use your vote.

She is not making the Lyndon Johnson mistake of Aug 1941 letting her guard down on the last day. I’ve seen a couple of people suddenly surge (including a chance in 1st place) over the last few days and wisely is not taking any chances.

Between the open house today and the show, I am going to be VERY busy but I’ll take one last moment today to ask you go here and vote for Hallie Miller.

She is about 100 votes out of 5th. I’d love to see her get those votes. so head right over there now and cast that last vote for Hallie Miller and help her take that first step toward her dream.

The rest will be up to her but someday when you see her on the cover of magazines you will be able to say to people there. “That’s Hallie Miller; I helped her get her start!”

If that’s not worth a vote I’d like to know what is?
