Two years ago I wrote a piece on ballet flats and my intense dislike of them when used as anything, say, other than a device to be jammed under a door with loose hinges. The story was published (well all right, I put it on the last page of this site) and I forgot all about it. That is, until three disturbing days ago when some ‘ballet flat-ophile,’ I’ve never met had the gall to first read the piece, and then….write to me asking for a retraction! Me! Retract! Good Lord, I’d first have to re-read the thing and apparently when I wrote it I was on some sort of high-heeled high. It has to be way over 250 words! Secondly, any man who writes to insult me and can’t muster the energy to capitalize his opening sentence, or even include a salutation for heaven’s sake, clearly is not one whose aesthetic sense I am much concerned with. Here…see for yourself.
See! Needless to say (and I have said this to him via email) Mr. Z will have plenty of time to brush off his HushPuppies (the brand of shoe I can only imagine he would wear) before I retract the Truth on THAT subject if it were even possible. ‘Toe cleavage a blessing’…pishaw. What madness I must endure on a Tuesday in February. I ask you Mr. Z, can one retract the word ‘stupid’ from ‘stupidity’? Of course not. Unless you want to be left with ‘ity’ and there is NOTHING you can do with ‘ity’. But the part that really burns me up is why me? Why now? For six hundred days no one, and I mean no one has viewed that page. Does this mean that I am going to have to go in and remove ever possible meta tag on my site to prevent peeping Toms from peering over the HTML curtain into my personal albeit public webpage? What next, are people actually going to listen to my sound samples?! I haven’t redone my demos in years!! I can’t possibly be held responsible for what’s on those things. (found on voiceover page and singing page) And what about the millions who have really boring blogs about their families? Have we come to the point in our society where there are no boundaries? I ask you Mr. Z, are you going ask Betty Morgan for a retraction for claiming to make the world’s greatest bundt cake? Where does it end?? I don’t go into your front yard and start putting up notices to “Retract that wall you just built” or “Take down your Christmas decorations, it’s February already.” When men with strong convictions about ballet flats and corvettes (which incidentally everyone knows the ’67 was far superior to the ’76) are freely roaming the web, sneaking around on the nearly hidden pages of people’s personal blogs, demanding retractions, we are on a slippery slope. And I don’t know about you, but the last thing I’d want underneath me is a pair of lousy, good for nothing, ‘ity’ bitty ballet slippers. Don your rubbers men! ( a regional term no doubt), and let’s give this whole business the boot.
Hope you enjoy! Well, thank you for asking! I have been involved in so very many exciting and absolutely thrilling activities, I just don’t even know where to begin. So I’ll start by telling you some things I have NOT been involved with, just to set the record straight for anyone who has a bent record or no record at all. Now that that is out of the way, please allow me to deluge you with links of my recent work and other bits of shameless self-promotion. Toot toot honk honk. Some ‘medically’ narration that I recorded for iDOC can be seen and heard here Author Anna Dewdney’s adorable children’s book Llama Llama Red Pajama was turned into an app available at itunes.com. I got to read the story, and work with Anna herself on getting the right interpretation. (Apparently they are still working on some bugs with the app. So, make sure your phone or whatever has the necessary operating system, i.e., read all the info first! And if you can read, thank a teacher.) I narrated a couple of instructional videos for HP’s Magic Canvas. I haven’t seen them yet, but hopefully my clearly e-n-n-u-c-i-a-t-e-d tutorial will help you and yours! Ashley Furniture….always have a few of those airing around the continent! Yes, they are everywhere and God love ‘em for it!! As always, you can get great visual voicemail AND hear me when you call in for your messages at youmail.com Some 500 BJ’s Superstores are playing my 9Lives Cat Food ads. Cats are going crazy for the stuff and I dare say it has to do with my sexy read!! After having done several surgical training videos for DePuy, I am about 90% sure that if I was stuck on a desert island with you and had to give you a shoulder or hip replacement, I could do it. Oh and my first on-air commercial is running in CHINA!! for the company EF (English First) That about wraps up my latest vo work. I’m getting ready to launch my perfume line which is based on the Rosemary plant. We are going to market it first to Italian and Persian chefs. I have nothing but high hopes for it. Buon Appetito! The LINK. (Disclaimer: I am warning you now…once, you click this link, you will leave this site and be re-directed to another site called www.hillarysimpersonator2012.com. You may not be able to figure out how to get back here. I don’t know. How adept are you at working a computer and figuring out the internet? These are things you need to answer for yourself. I’m just warning you. Good luck and God Speed. (I never really knew what that meant but always liked the way it sounded. It seems to work in this case. Or at least I hope and pray it does.)) P.S. Maybe you should check out this site first and THEN get going to the ‘other’ site? Again, this is not a directive but a suggestion. Personally, if I were you, I’d get a cup of coffee, or maybe a Tablespoon of cod liver oil since you are looking a little wishy washy, pull up a real comfy chair and start ‘enjoying’. Admittedly, THAT, is somewhat of a command…ENJOY!! |
