Ah, Halifax did this a few years ago with lobsters. A bunch of artists volunteered to donate their work and each painted a lobster. The lobsters were then displayed all over the city for tourists to gawk at and take each others photos in front of. Then when the tourists went home, the lobsters were auctioned off and the money went to some charity. I.E.: See: http://image18.webshots.com/19/4/40/17/362044017TkQcOV_fs.jpg and/or http://image40.webshots.com/40/7/47/32/361474732YjgzFX_fs.jpg and/or http://image64.webshots.com/164/9/7/80/430590780ERmRIR_ph.jpg
Once upon a glass or twelve of wine, Jacquie and Beth and Ellie got to talking. We decided that we were all enormously smart and clever and hilarious, and that it would be a crime not to share our unique talents with the world. We decided to start a blog together.
We needed a name, so Jacquie asked Beth: “What should we call a blog about meand you and Ellie?” And the rest, as they say, is history. We are having a blast writing this thing, and if there was any trepidation that we were only smart and clever and hilarious that night because of all the wine, our words here thus far have succinctly affirmed our mutual self-admiration.
What are you reading?
Ellie - Middlemarch, George Eliot. Finally
Jacquie - The Nightingale, Kristen Hannah
Beth - Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal by Julie Metz

Nice! Very moo-ving. Moo-mentous, really.

Those are some sassy bovine streetwalkers!
