Jack and Rack

January 17, 2009 by WendyB

A great thing about coming in third in the 2008 Weblog Award’s Best Fashion Blog category is that I didn’t have to fulfill my promise to celebrate a first-place finish with one-armed push-ups a la 73-year-old Jack Palance on Oscar night.

I’ve attempted a one-armed push-up. I’m pretty sure my effort failed, though the concussion I sustained in the process might have messed with my memory. I am good at two-armed push-ups though. As Jack said, “As far as two-handed push-ups, you can do that all night, and it doesn’t make a difference whether she’s there or not.”

Someone else who didn’t have to live up to her campaign promise is gorgeous blogger Katrocket, who declared that “a vote for WendyB is a vote for boobs” and offered to celebrate a first-place win with a week’s worth of pictures of her own rack. But don’t feel totally deprived. Katrocket has offered a consolation prize here. Check it out.

    I thought I was all fit and in-shape until I tried doing a one-arm push-up. Yikes!

    Hey Wendy,

    Congrats on your success. And being able to do any kind of push up. I can just about manage a no-armed push up, which involves raising my head slightly off the floor… oof!

    I once managed a one finger press up . . .

    Congratulations, my girl. You did good. You know, third place is really much better than winning, take it from me. I won third place in the Miss Inland Empire pageant a few years ago, which meant that I didn’t get to ride on the parade float through town. But that turned out to be a good thing as the winner and runner up got pelted with rotten eggs and tomatoes while they waved to the crowd. Yeah, it was just tragic. Especially when I managed a great shot right to the winner’s face with a really smelly egg and it dripped down into her cleavage as she cried. Heh heh.

    Wait! I mean….when someone in the crowd smacked her in the face with an egg. Someone else. Not me, of course. I’d never do that.

    i attempt push-ups at my pilates class every week. i fail every week. but this is why i vote for you at every bloggers-type awards – because you are able to do two-handed push ups!
