Will the real Snow Meiser Please Stand Up?

I am soooo confused.

I have been virtual friends with Mr. Snow Miser on myspace for years now... We go wayyyy back.
http://www.myspace.com/684327

He is truly from the white wilds of the north, authentically claiming to be from the North Pole, where we all know the Snow Miser lives. And he's got more pictures than Snowy #2

But today I just got a friend request from "Snowy."
http://www.myspace.com/mrsnowmiser

Now the "Snowy" says he is from Denver, Colorado, which is a very nice place,  but it's NOT the North Pole. BUT - his myspace name is not just a number. His name really is mr. snow miser. This gives him some street credibility. He does not have as many friends, so because he's the new kid on the block, BUT his myspace page is more fixed up than Snow Miser #1

Will the real Snow Meiser Please Stand Up?

Have it out guys and let me know...

Doo Dah! Doo Dah! QUEEN!!!

After many evenings imbibing fancy dancy cocktails with lots of fringe on top, I finally got myself out to do something totally different. Many of you already know about my aversion to Beauty Contests after an unfortunate incident as Miss Eviscerator back in Las Vegas in the mid 1980s... So it took quite a bit of gumption to get myself to go to the Zorthian Ranch tonight and audition as the Doo Dah Parade Queen.

Thanks to the ever charming Count Smokula, who encouraged me to come, I put on the old gogo boots and went walking... Well, I was welcomed with open arms by a great cast of characters: From a little red haired girl who I think was a man, to a sexless dancing alien, the "Candy Man" who still owes me a sucker, a black vinyl clad tap dancer, and did I mention Tequila Mockingbird?

To make a long story short. I was crowned Miss Doo Dah 2004 tonight. And what a thrill it was for me! What a great gang of fun party-loving people singing and dancing at the top of the hills above Pasadena. I likened it to a reverse universe Hearst Castle. The Zorthian Ranch is another "La Cuesta Encantada" or Enchanted Hill and there I was the Queen for the Night...

So hopefully some of you will make it out to Old Town Pasadena on Sunday November 21 for what will be the wildest parade in the known universe!
