I mean, this will be comment 74 for this post, but is it one of those posts that you're proud to have written? (not to say that it's bad or anything NOT to be proud of.... but you know what I mean... I hope...) <BR/><BR/>And for the banners: I think Izzy did a great job on it, but in my opinion, it's a little dark and gothic looking, not exactly how I see this blog. As for choosing a pic of Wonderbaby, out of those two, I personally like the first. The second looks a little... well I won't say creepy lol, but you know that famous painting of a colourful face that looks like it's melting, and the expression is the same as the one in the second picture? Well, there's a resemblance, don't you think? lol (not to be taken offensively!)<BR/><BR/>I think you should choose a style that pops out at you. Don't choose one where you think "well this might look good." or "that might work". Me for instance, I'm keeping it pretty simple until I come across the one style that jumps out and makes me exclaim out loud "That's perfect!" Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd choose one that I liked, and then 2 months later get sick of it and be looking all over again...<BR/><BR/>But, just my suggestions, take em or leave em, I don't mind ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-56987592568363847752007-05-31T21:00:00.000-04:002007-05-31T21:00:00.000-04:00Definitely go cherious.Definitely go cherious.Damselflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139191935886860839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-16083753423555245522007-05-30T18:00:00.000-04:002007-05-30T18:00:00.000-04:00I'm gonna be lost here at the #72 spot but what th...I'm gonna be lost here at the #72 spot but what the heck...<BR/><BR/>I see a vintage 50's housewife, maybe a drink in hand.. totally not (really) you.

The image itself--perhaps not quite right *alone.* BUT the image JUXTAPOSED with Her Bad Mother, Bad is the New Good, now *that* creates an alternative meaning--something in-betweeny. The Da vinci shows your philosophical, "I like to wax lyrical" side. But the tag line undercuts at the same time. That's you (to me). <BR/><BR/>Also--in terms of the favorite posts. DO BOTH. And don't call them favorites.

I like the more irreverant pics like the Mutha Sucka one in your avatar.

I love the image, but I think it needs to be juxatposed with a more playful font and colours. <BR/><BR/>What's so kick ass about your blog is the mix of the academic-inspired writing, pop culture, and the forays into potty-mouth glee.

That will totally confuse me, since these days, I'm easily confused.<BR/><BR/>The banner decision is a tough one. I just went through it. Go with your gut. Whatever you choose, we'll love, so you should love it first.<BR/><BR/>On the favorite posts, I say give a sampling of what your blog is about--introspective, intellectual, cheeky, hilarious, mother-worrier and mother-warrior; that's how I see you. It's more important that you represent how you see yourself. I think that type of list helps newcomers to your blog get a taste of what they might find here in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-83093324494119607112007-05-29T11:55:00.000-04:002007-05-29T11:55:00.000-04:00I vote the babe at CBGB - it feels like you to me....I vote the babe at CBGB - it feels like you to me.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-71683654901947673542007-05-29T11:53:00.000-04:002007-05-29T11:53:00.000-04:00Go with your faves if you want to do a best of.
