Trash Towers Dictionary

a/c - art crap. CK's fond term for the means of assuaging my addictions.

BSD - Been Seen Done. Devised while travelling the Great Ocean Road on CK's first Australian trip. Every lookout point was as fabulous as the previous and we got a little bit magnificenced out so rather than pull in we would shout BSD and keep driving.

Blatant and unashamed vote canvassing

Young Ms. CurlyPops rose to the Loz and Dinny tassel challenge with grace and style one would expect of a crafting superhero. This in turn gave rise to a challenge of her own, a call to the crafty inhabitants of blogland to create a SuperPops character from any media they favour.

destructoBoy took up this challenge and with a flick of his wrist here and a smattering of coloured pencil there he created his very own SuperCurly Pops a la 1970s rollerderby film (and no, I haven't been letting my eight y.o. watch crubbish late night telly).

The voting is on, the race is hot. While he actually has no chance of winning it woud be lovely for the results to show that someone other than his mother voted for him ;-) So click here to boost his ratings. It seems there has been a time extension so you have until 3pm 4/11 AUSTRALIAN time (about 4am 4/11 GMT or god alone knows what in the US) so GO! Hurry quickly and cast your vote for my small boy. It will bring a smile to you face - honest!
