Sexy April Fool's Day

I know it's April Fool's Day when I try to log onto one of the many Depeche Mode message boards I'm a part of and I get this message:

"Sorry los.angelista, you are banned from using this forum!

You've been banned!

"Why", I hear you asking? I'll tell you why! Because it's April Fools Day, of course!! See you tomorrow ;)"

I read that first sentence and freaked out! Banned? And just when I was about to cry, my eyes read more and thankfully saw that it was an April Fools Day joke. Whew.

I should have known April Fool's Day was rolling around though because I heard that the LA City Council is banning homicides in the city for 40 hours. But then I read the same story in the LA Times so I figured that bit of wishful thinking must actually be true, unlike last week's fake Tupac story.

Come to think of it, all Hillary Clinton needs to say about the whole "I was shot at by snipers in Bosnia" lie is that it was all an early April Fool's Day joke. Hah hah! Right?

Anyway, I thought my eyes were playing early April Fool's Day tricks on me when I saw I've been given the Sexy Blogger Award not once, but TWICE in the past two days! Let me bust out a Prince CD and play "U Got the Look" right now!

To tell you the truth, I generally do not think of myself as sexy. Hot, yes. Sexy, no. But wowzer, check my Sexy Blogger Award out! Needless to say, that is not my bootay. I will spare us all a multitude of embarrassment and refrain from describing the differences between my rear and the one in the photo. But I will say a prayer that the woman featured in this picture learns to wear a thong sometime soon. I mean, if you're going to have your underwear up your butt, you might as well go for a thong and dispense with the granny panties once and for all.

In any case, now that I'm finished talking about badonk-a-donks, I'll tell you how I got this award. The ever-fabulous and positive Claudia from On a Limb With Claudia was the first to give me the Sexy Blogger Award. Claudia said she gave it to me because I have "sexy hair!"

I don't think I've heard my hair described as sexy in recent years months days so I'm pretty excited and flattered by this, especially since my hair has been driving me nuts lately. Come to think of it, I need to write a whole post about what's going on with my hair because it's much too complex for me to write about in the same post as a picture of a butt. Let me put "Write post about hair drama" on my to-do list for tomorrow.

Just when I was really contemplating my hair sexiness, Cajunvegan over at one of my newly favorite blogs, "I Read Banned Books", also gave me the Sexy Blogger Award for my "dead sexiness".

Hopefully "dead sexiness" is a synonym for all over sexiness because otherwise, I need to have a call in to a casting director so I can star in a zombie flick with Milla Jovovich.

Of course, in the spirit of dead sexiness, I'm dying to pass on this Sexy Blogger Award, complete with the pancake booty shot. Some of you that I want to give this award to have already gotten it, but don't worry, you're still sexy. (Jameil, I'm talkin' to you!)

Sooo, I'm going to give it to eleven of y'all:

• Bygbaby for having sexy brotherlocks and forever making me laugh every time I think about last year's Alexyys K. Tylor post
• Keith over at African American Dad for sexy fatherhood and doing the darn thing when it comes to being a parent in NYC.
• Shelly at Boring Black Chick for her sexy book and movie reviews.
• Jen at A2EatWrite for knowing when to take a sexy break from blogging and handle her business.
• Nerd Girl for being a sexy mommy who had a sexy voting date with Barack Obama.
• Kate and Jon at Homestead Harvest for making Idaho and sustainable living sexy.
• 1969 for being the sexiest working mom blogger out there ever.
  
• Kari at If I Only Had a Blog for having sexy dream interpretations
• Sundry for her sexy pictures and for her sexy motivation around getting up so early to write every day.
• Laura Harley for creating and singing a sexy mashup. Battlestar Galactica + Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" = "Enjoy the Cylons"

And an extra special mention goes to Ian over at Or So I Thought. I seriously figured he'd gotten this award before for being the sexiest Canadian on the planet, but he hasn't. So Ian, you now get it for putting the sexy back into something very commendable and close to my heart, addictions counseling.

I know some of you aren't going to put the booty picture on your blogs and might not even want your sexiness to be acknowledged, but hey, it's April Fool's Day so I'm going for it. Hope your April Fool's Day is wonderfully tricky!
