You know, I don’t think I’ve ever flashed a pic of me and M. So here’s a couple of us goofing around with my laptop camera last month.
Hi, M! Miss you much!

Come play and maybe win some stuff!

Pimping out a lovely writer today…go check out her debut release!
Safety is an illusion.
When the world crumbles into chaos, only a chosen few can afford the luxury of life in towers built to soar far above the pollution and destruction on the ground.
Life up in the air is full of beautiful things and beautiful people. What happens when you’re not one of them? What happens when everything you believed about the world turns out to be a lie?
You fall. Or you learn how to fly…

This Hump Day Hotties is a shout out to my baby cousin (henceforth known as Calamity Jane) who just turned 18 on Tuesday. (Mad Madam M here…I just needed to interject something: Happy 18th Birthday Calamity Jane!!!! I can’t believe you are now legally an adult!! Man, I feel old!! Okay, I’m done…back to Crys!) In honor of her, we’re doing a barely legal edition of HDH. And I have to say that M and I felt really dirty and creepy looking at these pics.
How did we come up with this brilliant idea? Well, it went something like this:
Me: You know Calamity Jane reads my blog sometimes.
M: What? She’s way too young to read the stuff we write about. Especially the stuff you write on your blog when I’m not here to supervise you.
Me: Whatever. She’ll be 18 this week.
M: Well, that is just freaky and wrong and I refuse to think about it. I mean, I knew her when she was…well, I don’t know how old but she was short and skinny.
Me: Yeah, and now she’s got a rack that boys stare at. She was 11 when you met her, by the way.
M: Like I said, freeeeaaaaaaaky!
Me: We should celebrate by doing a hump day hotties post in her honor.
M: Who would we put on it?
Me: I don’t know…guys her age. She’s not allowed to look at the over 21 crowd. They’re a bad influence.
M: Which guys are her age?
*long pause*
Me: Um…
M: Yeah…
Me: The Harry Potter Boys?
M: Oh and my inappropriate teenage crush from Hairspray?
*extremely long pause*
Me: There has to be more than that.
M: Does there?
Me: Shit if I know.
M: We’re screwed.
Me: But not by them, they’re in kindergarten still.
M: Thank you so much for that mental image while you force me to go look for overage pictures of these guys. Sometimes I really do hate you.
Me: You’re welcome!
Mad Madam M: Up first…my inappropriate crush wearing a wife beater. As you might already know, I have a soft spot for boys in wife beaters…
Crystal: Well, he has pretty eyes. And I think I might see a boogie in his nose. What? He has it all pointed up and everything!
Mad Madam M: In this picture, Shia looks remarkably like my 19 year old cousin. Excuse me while I attempt to bleach my eyes balls so I can continue with limited traumatic memories that will lead to psychiatric harm. *whimpers*
Crystal: Wasn’t he in The Greatest Game Ever Played? I loved that movie! It was so cute!
Mad Madam M: Never saw Narnia since I didn’t want to ruin the memories of my mom reading the books to me as a child, but I would be willing to watch Will in another film. He’s kind of a cutie! (Oh god I feel old and dirty…must not drink before noon…must not drink before noon!)
Crystal: He was super cute in the movie! Young, but, you know, cute. *sings* I feel icky, oh so icky
Mad Madam M: Ah quite the dashing Englishman. Too bad the film version of Eragon turned out so badly. We might not be seeing Edmund Speleers for awhile and that is a shame. Just look at him!
Crystal: Wow, I thought it was just the older ones, but apparently Englishmen in all age ranges look a little gay.
Mad Madam M: Cute and he has a great name in Sky High: Warren Peace! I mean, with those looks, Steven Strait may have steered a whole new generation toward Tolstoy’s classic tale of Russian society during the Napoleonic era. Ok…maybe not, but you never know!
Crystal: Oh, look. It’s my inappropriate teenage crush. It’s not my fault. He’s in a band and he had superpowers!
Mad Madam M: Little Harry’s all grow’d up. *wink wink* (Did I just say that? Man I am I going to need some expensive therapy after this HDH. Damn you, Crys!)
Crystal: It’s Calamity Jane’s fault. Damn her for coming of age.
Mad Madam M: I think he may have some of the dreamiest lips I have ever seen,with the notable exception of Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords who is thankfully 7 years older than me!
Crystal: Okay I feel old even asking, but who is this guy?
Mad Madam M: If this wasn’t enough and you want to be further horrified, feel free to click this link. WARNING…it’s not safe for work! And don’t say I didn’t warn you! Meanwhile, I know my boss has whiskey in his office. *goes looking for hard liquor in order to continue commenting*
Crystal: Man, I feel old and dirty for even looking at any of these nekked pics of Harry Freakin’ Potter. Not right. Just…not right. Damn you, Calamity Jane! You’re lucky I love you.
Mad Madam M: This boy is going places. I couldn’t take my eyes off him whenever he appeared on screen in Hairspray. Man can the boy dance and sing!
Crystal: He really did a great job in that movie! I’d like to see what he does with regular (non musical) acting.
Mad Madam M: Narnia meets Harry and I am left with a nauseating feeling. Don’t get me wrong, it is a cute picture, they just look so young. Remind me again why we are doing this post!?!?! *downs another shot of Jameson* Oh right…here’s to you Calamity Jane! *waves enthusiastically at the computer screen*
Crystal: What are they doing in this pic? Just standing there? And is Ron wearing glasses?
Mad Madam M:
Dear Daniel Radcliffe,
I know you are now of age, but could you please continue to wear a shirt and not show off your chiseled abs/muscley biceps so much? Normally people exclaim “think of the children” in order to raise awareness of some inappropriate song/film/picture/ect and thus leading to a solution that allows for the continued innocence of our youth. However, in your case, I must submit “think of the women who will end up feeling dirty/lecherous/old after seeing your muscles in this picture and remembering how only a couple of years ago, you were a precocious little wizard with cute pudgy little cheeks”. (Special sarcastic “Thanks a LOT” to the new HP movie that includes flashbacks to the first movie for taking some joy out of the viewing.) Please, I implore you, just give us a couple of years to get used to the fact that you are all grown up. At the moment, between my car, students loans, and ever-growing multimedia collections, I just can’t afford therapy bills.
Appreciatively Yours,
Mad Madam M
Crystal: Word.
Mad Madam M: I love shoes and I will leave it at that!
Crystal: Hey! He can juggle. Look at that. *feels old and dirty for even viewing this pic*
Mad Madam M: See previous comment concerning boys in wife beaters!
Crystal: That is a very nice wife beater. And a very nice smile. I have no further comments on this matter.
Mad Madam M: My love for Ron has only grown over the years and I think a little bit of that is because of Rupert. The boy makes me laugh every time!
Crystal: I like red heads. It’s just a good color.
Mad Madam M: You definitely are the “Ladies Choice”! (Oh man…where did I put that whiskey? Must dull my awareness and save my mind from further damage!)
Crystal: More of M’s inappropriate teenage crush from Hairspray.
Mad Madam M: Thank goodness…with the longer hair he no longer looks like my cousin. Unfortunately, now I find him attractive. I may have to see that Transformer‘s flick DolphinSue keeps telling me to go and see!
Crystal: I assume DolphinSue is some friend you’re cheating on me with. Hussy.
Mad Madam M: Not only can the boy sing and dance, but he has the greatest hair! Oh and please don’t point out the fact that 2 boys up from High School Musical have appeared in this post. I have spent years blocking out the truth…the fact that I love that silly Disney film. So please think of my mental health and remember I am holding onto a thread here! *tries to regain self-respect but failing to do so…finishes off the bottle of Jameson whiskey*
Crystal: Thank God it’s over. Happy birthday, Calamity Jane!
