fracas

“It’s not true I had nothing on. I had the radio on.”

So said Marilyn Monroe in response to reports of her nude photographs for a calendar, as quoted in TIME magazine (1952)

Whether fracas had anything on but the radio when she created this widget back in April, for the fuelmyblog widget competition, Fracas isn’t saying, but you can wonder about it while you head over there and vote for her.

Why should you do that?

Because fuelmyblog is holding a contest during the month of October, and the top vote getter will win a hot $500!  Sure… in your world, that might be a ‘cool’ $500 but in the fraccy world, it’s hot… always hot, and you get to be part of it.

Fracas is sure Marilyn would approve.

The competition rules are simple. You write a post about it and link back to it; tag your post correctly (yep, you’ll have to go there to read how to tag it correctly because Marilyn Fracas ain’t no dumb blonde… the fuel folks want traffic) and you’re in. If you’re the top vote getter for the month, you get $500 to pay for a lot of bleach, Chanel No. 5 and lipstick.  And.. how else is a girl supposed to pay for all those sparkly best friends if she doesn’t win $500?

Oh.. and you’re supposed to copy this line to your post.

“I am a big deal blogger and deserve to win this funny t-shirt and win $500 because…”

I deserve to win the funny t-shirt and the $500 because unlike Marilyn, who was quoted in Ms. magazine (August 1972 41 ) as saying:

“I don’t want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.”

I, Fracas, want to be wonderful and make money.

At least I’m honest. That’s a good quality.

Honest. Hot. Wonderful.

Shouldn’t you have voted for me by now?

I said I was honest, not humble.

(Seriously. It’s the blog that’s hot, and part of that is because of the fraccers. But if I win the $500 I’d be really happy… and then I’d blog even better which would make all the fraccers happier so my winning is kind of like you winning.)

At any rate, men… I’m sorry to have to inform you that you have to spend the $500 that way. Since you probably don’t need that much bleach, perfume and lipstick, why not just vote for me and know it will all be put to the best possible use?

Here are a few more Marilyn quotes, because like Fracas, Marilyn is hot… and why on earth wouldn’t you want to read a few more of her little gems?

Oh.. and those who vote for me. Thanks. Honestly. You bring cheer to the fraccy face.

• If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere.

• I’m very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

• I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.

• I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it.

• What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.

• I love to do the things the censors won’t pass.

• What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can’t I just be an ordinary woman? A woman who can have a family … I’d settle for just one baby. My own baby.

• I have too many fantasies to be a housewife…. I guess I am a fantasy.

• A career is wonderful thing, but you can’t snuggle up to it on a cold night.

• It’s not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on.

• People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They didn’t see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling me the lewd one.

• The most unsatisfactory men are those who pride themselves on their virility and regard sex as if it were some form of athletics at which you can win cups. It’s woman’s spirit and mood a man has to stimulate in order to make sex interesting. The real lover is the man who can thrill you by touching your head or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.

• I don’t understand why people aren’t a little more generous with each other.

• I want to grow old without face-lifts … I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made. Sometimes, I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but you’d never complete your life, would you? You’d never wholly know yourself.

• No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren’t.

• Beneath the make-up and behind the mask I am just a girl who wishes for the world.

YEAH! Me too Marilyn. So why don’t you all vote?
