Sung to the tune of Rawhide, our official lovelinks voting theme song as written by XLMIC:

Voting, voting, voting…

LoveLINKS!

These past few weeks have been so much fun, right? Right? You’ve found new blogs to read and new people to tweet. And new anxieties to suppress. I know how hard it is to put your blogging and writing skills on display. Not only for subtle critique, but a popular vote, too? Whew, that took a lot of balls and vagina, and I’m proud of everyone who stood up and took a chance.

So over on the Mommy Shorts Facebook page, there is a hilarious evil baby glare-off contest. Moms like me who had photos of their evil babies uploaded the most evil ones, and the babies are being pitted against each other in an evil baby v. evil baby Facebook comment-off. It’s going basically like this:

[I’m changing the baby names because one poor baby’s family is stone cold crazy and I like to live not only drama-free, but my-own-murder-free]

“I vote Emma!”

“I vote Sarah!”

“Ooooh, Sarah looks more pouty than evil, so I vote Emma!”

“Emma’s stare is more like a Zoolander, so I vote Sarah!”

“Who the fuck you calling Zoolander?” [Emma’s mother]

“Whoever called my grandbaby Zoolander better sleep with the lights on tonight, and I bet’ not find out where she lives!” [Emma’s grandmother]

Several attempts trying to get the voting back on track without further death threats

“I’m tallying these votes and as far as I can count, Emma is winning” [Emma’s mother again]

More voting

“Some people are voting more than once! Including my own people and I don’t condone that, but people are voting twice. Who the fuck is running this contest? Moderator!!” [Emma’s batshit crazy mother]

People still voting, watching events unfold, but now furtively looking over their shoulders for Emma’s grandmother to appear in their kitchen computer nook

“Pull my daughter from this contest! I hate pageant moms and Sarah’s mom is a pageant mom bitch. Moderator!” [Emma’s mother, even though Emma won the evil baby glare-off. We all now know who exactly Emma had been Zoolandering in her photo]

Thanks, you guys, for linking, reading, commenting and voting while keeping your bat shit crazy to yourself. I had no idea what I could have been getting myself into.
