Or make-up, or make-over, or whatever. Take a look at this pic. I think she needed them all.
Gloria Swanson really gave it her all to play fading (in fact she had totally faded) film star Nora Desmond in that great cinematic classic Sunset Boulevard. One of the lines I loved was "I am big, It's the pictures that got small." Her character was kinda creepy. And I think she would have benefited from a make-over.
What about this blog? You think it could use a make-over? The folks over at Tribal Blogs are holding a blog make-over contest.
Meh, I thought when I first heard of it. What did Old McDonald say? You know, the guy with a farm? Oh, yeah: "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. And if he goes wee wee wee all the way home he should have gone before he left."
But as I got to thinking about it I thought to myself "Hey, everybody loves bacon. What have I got to lose?"
I also got a little confused between the terms "make-up" and "make-over". I've never worn make-up but I thought, hey, for $300 worth of goodies I might go so far as to get a brazil wax.
I mean for heaven's sake, take a look around this blog. The layout is...well...blahhhh. Yeah, sure, it's clean and uncluttered - which is good - but, hell, it reeks of antiseptic...or antidepressants, or antioxidants, or antiperspirants - well which is what you need if it reeks, right?
Blogger calls this layout "Awesome Inc". Yeah, sure, like awesome in a parallel universe maybe. A parallel universe of dogs. (Dogs can't see colours, eh?)
This is a humour blog for Pete's sake. And that layout doesn't inspire much mirth. (Mirth means gladness or gaiety usually expressed by laughter. I used it because it's a nice alliteration with "much". And I really didn't want to say "gobs of gaiety".)
You can gaze upon the $300 prize package here.
Among the prizes are custom graphics which include something called a favicon. Gee, I didn't know Milli Vanilli had reunited.
An installation of five key plug-ins is included. That would come in really handy 'cause I'm redoing my kitchen and the more plug-ins the better.
And they're offering something called a premium SEO submission. I don't know what that means but I kinda like Lionel Richie. You know, he sang "Say You, Say Me, SEO" Isn't that how it went?
So wish me luck. This blog may soon be wearing lipstick.

great blog
HA! And good luck with the makeover. Personally, I really LIKE the clean and uncluttered look. Some blogs are stimulus overload for me and I'm thinking, okay I'm here, so WHERE do I go now? hee hee
But I also understand the need for change. I've been known to do that a time or two, or three. hee hee
Good luck! And I hope you win!
Weeee, weeeeeee, weeeeeeeee! (I'm not home yet.)
En-garde!
