Look at me! My blog has been shortlisted!

Blimey! Can you believe it? I have been short-listed as one of the Widow Lady's top ten blogs. How cool is that? I am gonna be a mega-star!

Now, the impending fame got me thinking. Maybe I should try hard a bit harder to look the part; you know, embrace the values of a celebrity in order to grease the wheels of my PR machine (which technically doesn't actually exist yet but when it does, I assure you it will look like the shiniest blue Combine Harvester you have ever seen, with an inbuilt sound system).

So, this evening I sat down and put together a Project Plan to take me from pleb to celeb. Here goes (it's all very secret squirrel, so please let's keep it amongst ourselves):

1. Have a boob job and then wear low-cut tops that makes 'em look like they could flop out at any moment.

2. Have a nose job that gives me tiny oblong nostrils and two distinctive pointy bumps on each corner of the end.

3. Get botox so that I can look 'permanently surprised' like my celebrity heroes.

4. Release my own perfume called 'Minging - l'homme deterrent' (yeh, I know. PR genuis).

5. Find a string of basketball / NFL playing boyfriends, each of whom I would date for approximately five weeks before dumping them, citing 'distance' as the reason. Dumping people because of 'distance' is so 'de rigueur' dahlink.

6. Weight. I am going to slim from a 'ground zero' to a 'size zero' by eating macro-bionic, GI, glucose, Atkins, lactose food. And then I am going to be very careful that I don't fall down grates.

7. I am going to have some meaningful Chinese words tattooed on the back of my neck and on my wrist. And because I can't read Chinese, I am going to hope that I haven't been duped into having something crap tattooed like 'baked beans' or 'yellow snow'.

Pic.No.1. This is going to be me after I have become a proper celebrity. And yes that is a killer whale behind me. Pet goldfish are for poor people

So there you have it! My cunning plan to morph myself into a celebrity. What do you think - genuis eh?

In order to pre-empt the autograph hunters, I am going to invest in one of those queue control things outside my front door. You know the ones - they are made up of shiney silver uprights joined together by seatbelt material. 

P.S. I was a bit worried that Widow Lady said that she couldn't understand some of the things I was saying, so I included hyperlinks to the very British words. Like minging, and blimey and pleb.

P.P.S. You can read the Widow Lady's blog by clicking here. Enjoy! She is great!

  1. Oh my HEAVENS, Number 7 made me laugh so hard I nearly spit my teeth out! I mean they are all brilliant, but I have actually SEEN someone who thought they had "courage" tattooed on them, only to discover it said "noodle soup!" Oh and I was just TEASING about not being able to understand you...I grew up watching nothing but Brit comedy, so I'm versed! LOL I adore you Anne, and may your Champagn Wishes and Caviar dreams come true!

  2. 1. Your boobs are big enough to flop out at any moment anyway!
    2. Could you get a nose like that by snorting cocaine....?
    3. errrr...
    4. I like it!
    5. If you are going to date basketball / nfl players you'll need to get a bigger butt (ala Kim Kardashian)I can lend you some :-)
    6. Lollipop head...
    7. Yours would probably say 'Gis us a wine will ya'

    Love you xx

  4. Well, Congrats, and I must say this is well deserved! It is always good to have a plan...I'm not sure how much PR you really need, look at all of those followers!
    How's George?

  6. Anne - You deserve to be on the "A" list...and good for you for plugging Lisa as well.

    I'm just saying, but you may want to rethink the list. Think beyond the curve so that you don't wind up just another celebrity conformist...perhaps you could adopt a third world country...it's been done, but not that often.

    You deserve fame...run with it :)

  7. I feel so stupid. I took your advice and flushed my goldfish immediately. It wasn't until I got home from the pet store with my new killer whale, that I realized, "Oh, crap! This thing will never fit in that tiny fishbowl!" Guess that's why you're the famous celebrity and not me.

    Congrats and keep up the hilarity!

  8. *raises a singular eyebrow at you* Really?

    You turn yourself into grate floss with floatie boobies...I'll never speak to you again. Celebrities, politicians, paparazzi, and lawyers...top 4 categories of people I would "accidentally" shove off a long, high cliff into razor sharp rocky, shark infested water. Please don't make me poison the sharks with your tits and botox when we finally have a chance to meet up!!

    I love you just the way you are, dahling! =) MUWAH! xo

  10. Blimey does this make me " friend of celebrity ?" Actually you are in my top ten Blogs too...steady on girl, don't loose your head.
    The fact is I only follow about ten blogs !! He He only kidding.
    You deserve this - what I want to know is what you are going to wear to the award ceremony ? A nice gold low backed number & killer heels ?

    and I agree with Ron, you should adopt at least one third world country.

  11. Congrats!!!! You truly deserve to be an A-lister!!! I heart your sense of humour (wicked!!!).

    LOL about the killer whale!!

    I'm following you both on twitter and GFC. Love your blog.

  12. If you're getting ink surely the way forward is the full on tramp stamp just above your arse crack?

    And if you're going the whole hog, adoption of obscure tribal infants is a must.

Just hopped from Java's hop and am delighted to find not only a fellow Brit but a damn funny one (mind you we do have a good sense of humour here in 'Old Blighty'.

    Congratulations on your mega-star status. I think you're a Babe in your own right and don't need the make-over..LOL The number with the sports stars may not be a bad idea though. You'd be in lots of magazines from the papparozzi (or however you spell it) following you around.

    Have a loving week end

  38. I like the model look, you've really got the sunken in shoulders down! You just need to stand a bit more knock-kneed next time. OR if you're on a red carpet you could opt for the crossed-ankles post. Nothing says "Fabulous Celebrity" more than being photographed in a horribly uncomfortable position. Comfort is for poor people... like goldfish
