And The Winner Is…
The winners of yesterday “Liar Liar Pants on Fire Contest” are… Cindy at Twisted Cindy and Laura at Blue Stocking. They both followed their gut instinct and guessed correctly that I don’t have a shamrock tattoo. Most people (8 of them) thought the one white eyebrow was the lie. Check out the breakdown below:
1. Shamrock Tattoo? I don’t have a shamrock tattoo or any tattoo for that matter. Although, my blog photo was taken in Ireland with a shamrock pinned to my sweater and I have referred to a shamrock tattoo as imaginary.
2. One white eyebrow? Number 9 on my list of 100 Things About Me reads: When I was 13 my hair went white in a streak on the left side of my head. It’s called segmental vitiligo. It’s a loss of pigment, which also involves part of my forehead, my eyebrow and eyelashes on one side, and is likely caused by a head injury. I’m very good with make-up. Sometimes when I have company or I’m visiting somewhere and I’m cleaning off my make-up at night, I shout out, “Wanna come see my white eyebrow?” Everyone comes to see it.
3. Job as a night watchman? In a clip from past post called Job Doesn’t Work, I wrote…I once had a job as a night watchman. I live in a small town and I suppose the company that hired me didn’t think there would be anything too dangerous for a 5’ 1” 115 pound woman to watch out for. I spent a lot of time watching the night sky, the moon and stars. A perfect job for a poet, I thought.
4. Runway Modeling? I actually have done runway modeling, more than once. I even did it in skis. It happened nearly 25 years ago and I never got paid, but I can still do a mean twirl.
Thanks for playing, everyone. It was fun!

I should try this meme… Although no one with any sense believes a damn thing I say, so I’d have to go with ‘one of these things is true’.

Michele sent me your way, Colleen.
The white eyebrow and explanation are very interesting Colleen. I’ve got the white in my hair but only in the typical distribution. Looking down your page a bit I was very impressed by your son’s ceramics. I wish your picture was linked to a larger one so I could see more detail. He’s obviously quite talented–and Asheville is a good place to have that talent appreciated and still live in a beautiful setting.

I couldn’t play. *frown* I showed up at the party too darned late and couldn’t play along. I will tell you as honestly as I know how – I seriously would have guessed that the tattoo couldn’t have been true. You’re too much of a natural type gal for all that. At least that’s how you strike me.
I have no tattoos either, though as you might have thought, I do have quite the tattoo story!
Sorry for the long delay in visiting. We finally got an entire summer’s worth of rain here in one weekend, and our pond out back swelled to the point where we had fish in our backyard. No kidding. Water in the basement (not much) was the least of our worries.
The white hair thing? I have a streak of platinum each side of my head. People have asked “where do you get your hair streaked?” I’m always tempted to answer “at the gene pool.”
Guess I should shush now. Just great to be back.
