This, that and the Other Thing Monday

| Ok, I couldn't find a panty "thong" picture that I felt was appropriate, so instead here's this lovely book "thong" that I, personally would get more use out of. |
You know it's a weird week when one of the more entertaining news stories is: A woman who says she was hurt by her thong panties when a metal clip flew off and hit her in the eye has sued Victoria's Secret, saying in a TV interview on Thursday that the injury caused her "excruciating pain." So I'm wondering who I can sue for all the paper cuts I've gotten over the years while reading books.
But now the news from you. Please email me with your news, anything special, different, new, deserving kudos or just plain entertaining. While I can't put it all in, I'll make every effort to. Click here to send me your news.
From author Dianna Love: We hit the New York Times Bestseller list with Phantom!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, my news for maybe next week - I'm now a NYT best selling author. :) So many people helped that I will never find them all to thank. The few friends we've told ask, "what are you doing to celebrate?" I said I'm sending a couple emails and going back to my writing cave because I can't be playing today with so much on my plate. But I will lift a Martini (made by Karl) tonight at home. (Congratulations Dianna! You always remember your first time and since I just read this book and blurbed about it, I know it's well deserved. Oh, and kudos to Sherrilyn Kenyon who co-wrote it, but we all know it's not her first time.)
From Kim, webmistress at Eloisa James and Julia Quinn's bulletin board: We are having a special auction on our bulletin board. One of the faithful readers on our BB is having a terrible year. Her husband contracted hepatitis C at age 6 in a heart operation. They have three children. This year he started to go sharply down hill and he recently passed away while waiting for a liver transplant.
This auction will raise money for an educational fund for the children. Please contribute! All auctions end at Midnight EST, Friday, June 27. (There are terrific items up for auction. Click here for more information)
Ok, this last item wasn't sent to me, but I found it on Diana Holquist's MySpace blog: The RITA awards are coming up--the most prestigious award in the romance writing world. There are eight finalists in Single Title Contemporary, and, well, let's just say it's getting ugly fast. This news report from a local San Francisco station pretty much explains it all. Enjoy! And if you run into any of these ladies in a dark alley, be afraid. Be very afraid....

Trash Talking Romance Novelists
(I thought this was hilarious and obviously so did over 4,000 others who viewed it on YouTube. Now I really can't wait to go to RWA...with my Drive By Video™ camera, of course.)
Bottom Line: Saturday was officially the first day of summer, so will someone explain to me why we had golf ball size hail denting my car? (Well, maybe it was more peanut M&M size...but still!)

Since I'm a reader, I love this behind the scenes stuff. This video is hilarious. Now I want to go to the Rita's and I never knew what they were before.

Why, Barbara, what a lovely thong!!! (And I appreciate a lovely thong when I see one, because I see a lot of NOT-so-lovely ones on women bent squatted down to the bottom shelf in my bookstore.....these ladies are giving plumbers a run for their money!!)

Hi Barbara - Thanks for sharing my good news. Yes, Sherrilyn Kenyon (co-writer on Phantom In The Night) is very familiar with being on the NYT list after two back to back #1s. But this was my first time and I'm really tickled. The thong is too funny. And that RWA video is a hoot. Thanks for always bringing us things that make us smile.

For an interesting thong story, Google "Denver thong bandits". I think you will be greatly amused and find a rather interesting use of thongs there.

Hey...we touted this video on the Lipstick Chronicles on Saturday, though I misspelled Susan's last name. (Eep! Going to correct it right now) I can now add wimping out on doing this video with my fellow nominees to other regrets in my life - like turning down an invitation to the Stone Pony. One of the times where Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance...Sigh. Guess it means I'm middle aged. My favorite is Susan's prim explanation of trash talking and Diana's dissertation on the long history of trash talking. I think they deserve to win it - don't you? I mean...all of them.

I agree with Susan Andersen...Toni and I kick some serious butt. In a Toni-Kristan smackdown, however, I have to say the odds go to me, thanks to my ninja training and generally mean disposition. Seriously, it was a lot of fun...stuff like this balance out all those long loney hours in my basement office, muttering to myself and petting the dog with my foot. Can't wait to meet everyone in person!

Congrats to Dianna and Sherri! It's a page turner!
That RITA skit is a hoot when I first came across it.
You could not keep those M&M size hail to yourself. You had to send it over. It arrived Sunday afternoon. I got the full effects while sitting on a plane. We were getting ready to pull away from gate when the skies opened.

Yeah, but Toni, you look better than all the rest of us. (Well, unless Kristan leaves bruises, that is. But at least they will fade to violet/lavendar to match your gown) Sarah, don't worry about spelling my name wrong. EVERYone does.

Had to comment on this blog, Barbara! The book thong (what an imagination and wit you have) compared to clothing thongs! Really got a laugh out of that!
