New Underdog Shout Out Award: Best Ex-Model Who Wears Lots of Eye Shadow And Sings Like A Rock Star

Okay - now THIS one is next to impossible to fit on a button...

But I'm nothing if I'm not up to a challenge.

And I found inspiration for this self-claimed title on the blog itself:

What says "Best Ex-Model Who Wears Lots of Eyeshadow and Sings Like a Rockstar" better than an actual head shot. Especially one as bad ass as this!

Shawn is the face of this award, and you can find her at SWANEESINGER.

Get to know Shawn:

A Long Time Ago, In a State Far, Far Away
(who doesn't love looking at prom pictures??)

Don't Much Like Sauerkraut
(and you think she looks like a tough cookie now...)

Expeditions in the Front Yard
(yes, more pictures...what do you expect - she's a model!)

Welcome to Underdogs Unite, Shawn! You will hold this award until 2010 when it will be up for grabs again. So all of you blogging ex-models, caking on eyeshadow and blowing crowds away with your rocker song stylings - get ready to duke it out with Shawn next year.

And I must say, good luck to you...

New Underdog Shout Out Award: Biggest Technophobe

We have an new self proclaimed Underdog Award today:

"Rivka with a capital A" from Coffee and Chemo, has claimed that she is THE BIGGEST technophobic blogger out there.

Luckily - her writing skills make up for this. Get to know RivkA:

Choose Life

Someone Else's Mother

10 Facts About Me

Welcome to Underdogs Unite, RivkA! You will hold this award until 2010 when it will be up for grabs again. Since bloggers tend to be more interested in writing that html code - I think you'll get a run for your money on this one next year...

The First Underdog Shout Out Request AND Underdog Award

Here at Underdogs Unite, we welcome any and all Underdog-related requests. Want to get on the "vote for us" awards list? Great! Want to announce a giveaway, fundraiser or general need for support? No problem! Anything else? Let us know!

Well we just got a new "anything else" request. Eskimo Bob of Eskimo Bob Lives would like to proclaim his own site "The Blog with the Eskimosest" (try to say that five times, really fast).

Apparently, he's not officially nominated for any awards and decided to make his own. WE LIKE THAT. It falls in line nicely with an idea that has been tossed around lately for our own Underdog Awards.

But back to Bob. While I would would typically want to open up this award suggestion to some friendly competition, I have no idea who else would claim the title of "The Blog with the Eskimosest." So I'm making the executive decision to bestow this first official Underdog Award on Eskimo Bob (using Eskimo Bob's own personal avatar of course, since it's HIS award):

Congratulations Bob - we can't think of anyone more deserving of this honor. And just to complete the shout out...Make sure to visit Eskimo Bob at Eskimo Bob Lives!
