fracas


One good deed deserves another.

Mark was kind enough to create a post over at Blogitude, to send some traffic and a few votes at fuelmyblog, over to fracas. He’d suggested to me that I create another widget, this time with Shyamali on it.

I decided that I would create one just for Mark… to say thanks! So here it is… and everyone else out there better know that Mark has dibbs on her… (someone told me he’s pretty good with a mouse). So Mark.. right click away and take her home!



Sanjaya’s Sister Pictures

WIthout fail, every day people arrive here because they’re still searching “sanjaya’s sister”. There are no new photos out there of her, no big shocking news, no porn photos to find, no crotch shots of Shyamali.

Even that guitar photo… the one people are faking out to be a nude photo of her (since you can’t see anything but guitar, arms and legs) really isn’t. In this article for rediff news, Arthur J Pais reports Shyamali and Sanjaya’s mom as having said,

    “”Even though it is not nude, it’s not flattering,” she says. “My first reaction when I saw it, as a mother, was to take it off but being the independent teenager she is, she did not. And now, it’s all over the place.”Jillian Recchi, Shyamali’s mother, is none to happy about the picture and chalked it up to teenage rebellion. She also insists that her daughter was never without clothes when the picture was taken.”

It’s nice that all you folks out there are determined. It’s nice to see how you just don’t give up.

Perhaps you could apply that spirit to something in your life where you’d actually get a result… you know, something that doesn’t involve looking for boobs or hiney?

Yeah, well… I tried.

So here’s a photo of Shyamali that I can’t remember where I found. If someone knows the credit for it, leave a comment and I’ll add the link to the source. One thing is for sure.. she doesn’t need to be nude to be a huge internet sensation.



I Hate Mark Steel / I Love Mark Steel

I was reading this post over at Mark’s blog, and because I love to be a smart-ass, I decided that I needed to up my search engine ranking as someone who either hates… or loves Mark. I guess that makes me a blog-tease also… but that’s no big secret anyway.

Mark, you ought to know by now, that being #13 just isn’t my style.

Fracas’ The Monday Melee for April 30, 2007

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.
I hate it when people pretend to be your friend and then talk (in a negative way) about you or your family behind your back. Just grow a spine and say it to my/our face.

2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.
Tandy Anderson. Blech. Her comments praising model Marianne Berglund for her emaciated figure, while chastising model Jen Hunter for being too fat (though Jen looks fabulous) raised a lot of fuss. In fact, they prompted fracas to create the Thinspiration Petition. I think, given what Tandy herself looks like (as shown here), it’s clear that she’s a big phony. Yes, I know… she isn’t a model herself, only an agent. My point is, it’s phony and fraudulent to impose standards on others, that she obviously can’t maintain for herself. I’d like to see Tandy lose about 50 pounds before she praises anyone else for being emaciated or ridicules anyone else for being a healthy weight. Disclaimer: I don’t believe Tandy needs to lose 50 pounds… she would look emaciated… which is the point. She should try it before she praises others for it, and then she’d see how wrong it is to praise them for being emaciated.

3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
I’m unhappy with spring clean-up. I love the planting and the landscaping… creating new stuff in the yard, and I don’t even mind weeding the flowerbeds or that kind of maintenance. It gives me “peace of mind” time to myself. What I am thoroughly unhappy with, is the filthy, moldy, icky crap that needs to be cleaned up after winter each year. Blech.

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
This week, I’m giving credit to the folks at WordPress. I honestly think this is just the greatest place to have a free blog and so, as I posted in the comments to the post where they announced new drop down menus and tag clouds for our sidebars, I pledge there to be a lovely surprise (posted here at fracas) for the WordPress folks within a few days. I’ve had this ’surprise’ ready for some time and was just waiting for the right time to post it.

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it
At 5′6″, I think I’m the perfect height. Not too short, but not too tall; I can still wear really great heels without towering over Mr. Fracas. Stick that in your ear Tandy!

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.
I wish for 500 fuelmyblog votes in one day. Yeah, yeah… I know.. I’m not Mark, so that ain’t going to happen. I guess I’ll have to just be happy with how many Marilyn helps me get today. CLICK ON MARILYN…
