Happy Birthday From the Dungeon

"Mouse over to see behind the curtain!"

How often do you get to celebrate a royal birthday? Seriously. Not very damn often, I'd wager. So when we get the chance, we take it around here. And wouldn't you know it, today is just such an occasion. (You probably figured that out already though, huh?) If you were around a couple of weeks ago you might have noticed this post which was one of thousands worldwide making up this year's BlogBlast for Peace. This effort is Mimi's trademark, her legacy to Blogaritaville, her gift to the world. It's been called unrealistic among other things, and yet it keeps growing every year. Personally? I think she's onto something. In fact, it was primarily this totally idealistic effort that was primarily responsible for winning the "Queeen of Memes" the coveted Diamond in the Rockpile award last January with the citation:

"An artist in many senses of the word, 'Mimi Pencil Skirt' looks at life through a unique prism of optimism and humor, of deep-seated compassion and firmly rooted conviction. There are no secrets here. What you see is Mimi Unplugged, an unvarnished, undiluted incredible human being with a sly wit and a quick mind. You'll laugh, and occasionally you'll cry. But you'll never doubt."

I'm sure Mimi would tell ya that it's not too early to start thinking about your Peace Globe for next year. But whether you're ready to start thinking along those lines or not, you really oughta take a minute and go visit Mimi Writes. It's bad form to keep the Queen waiting you know.
