End of the Blog Extravaganza!!!! What did Sexy 08 mean to you???? Some of our Readers shared their thoughts…
Trish: The Sexy 08 blog keeps me young as I love to read Nicolle's writing style and opinions. I enjoyed being Sexy Person Of The Week- it made my week!
Gracie: The Sexy 08 is blatantly the best blog on the net for sexy cats like me.
Urvi: Made me more confident about myself. I was self-conscious, and now I really don’t care what people think of me because as you always point what sexy is what you are and how you portray yourself…
Kristin: Sexy 'O8 gave everyone a little something to get excited about - a little spark to break up the routines and demands that are countersexy. Even just bringing up the word "sexy" puts a little pizazz into your day. Thanks for recognizing our sexiness and for bringing in out in all of us. We love you! Sexy New Year!
Paul: It led to more sexy times. Comfort Inn, nuf said.
Mom: On those occasions I have ventured into Sexy08, I have been very impressed with the depth of your introspection. (kinda scary) I have also been amused because I was supposed to be (Maurice's columns and Michelle's comments). I still feel like I'm intruding on your privacy - like reading your diary. This is not a feeling I like.
NIK: Response (he thinks he’s funny)
Michelle: Ummm...okay...I do not really know how sexy08 influenced my life, other than to say that it made it more fun. I really enjoyed reading the blog on a daily basis, M-F, and it always gave me a little boost of energy. That energy sometimes came in the form of a laugh or a giggle. And sometimes that energy came from the recognition that I am related to one very sexy and very creative and very talented individual (2--if you count Maurice's HILARIOUS guest-blog). And so I would like to this time and space to thank Nicolle (one incredible sister) and Curt (one witty and wonderful friend) and everyone else (guest-bloggers, SPOTW, and commenters) for making my 2008 more fun, more enjoyable, more pleasurable--and, therefore, more sexy.
Nick: I didn't even read it, but congratulations!
Sammi: Congrats on making it a whole blog year!
SAMBLER: In comparing my husband to Bret Michaels I have realized how happy I am that Alan still has all his hair-and no guyliner yet
Jess: It certainly made me rethink my definition of sexy and I've even started to redefine my own sexy self.
Heather: Sexy 08' has been an inspiration to me to start my own journey into sexy 09' or whatever the catch phrase will be.. i'm very proud of you nicolle for putting yourself all out there and for writing as you do,,,i loved being sexy person of the week,,my one shining moment!!! I think that you are a fantastic writer and an awesome person and i hope HOPE that you continue this journey into 09' cause i think that it has really suited you,,i love you my friend and i think that you are the greatest friend i will ever have...keep on livin life as honest as you do ;)
Neeka: i need more sexy in my life!!!! oh and i got engaged!!!! that's damn sexy!
Sexy 08… I made this random decision to try and lose weight back in April of 2007. I was still getting over TDWBR-OS and I felt like ok, I’m ready to finally tackle this monstrosity of insecurity and get myself some Sexy. Well actually, Curt and I joked around for-ever about Sexy 08. “O we are totally (pre-totes) gonna be SOOO Sexy in 2008!!!” You know, just a passing ha ha on the phone, until one day… after reading Mel Evans blog (Back when it was on myspace and at the time the only blog I ever read), I said to Curt (again over the phone cause he lives far away people)- “I think I’m going to start writing a blog about losing weight .” His immediate response was “Go to Blogger, create a blog… we will both write about Sexy 08.” And I did… And we wrote… And it became what it is… And thus a Revolution was born! It’s not like you know defeating the Nazi’s or beating the South in the Civil War… BUT it’s still pretty cool and fun in it’s own right.
I have to say, though, this blog has been really like a constant reminder that I made a promise not only to you guys to work on my Sexy every day, but to myself about not giving up and going back to where I was before… How many times have we let ourselves down? Obviously, if you are working on being the Sexiest, Best Person you are… you’ve done it at least once. I’m camp champ at it, quite frankly- BUT not this time. Sexy 08 (or Sexy ForEva now) was not always easy… And you (you being like me and all you guys and Curt) did fall down, you did suffer strategic loses in battle (did not get skinny enough for that big event), you were upset that life still dared to lob shitty relationship grenades at you… All of that did and will still happen because life is unfair and hard and whatever… But you know what?? The biggest Lesson to learn from this blog and yourself is this: You control your own Awesome and Sexy Destiny. When you let yourself down… when you don’t take the Sexy Adventurous Leap sometimes, you lose. And so does Sexy. And well, we all know Sexy doesn’t like to take a hit. Don’t do yourself and Sexy dirty by giving up… Work out, eat better, wear top tier outfits… sing with a band (regardless of ability), dance like a crazy person… essentially LIVE your LIFE to the absolute Sexiest. People notice, believe me.
So now what? Where do we go from here. Sexy 08, the year is over… but the concept still beats pretty strongly in my heaving ample bosoms. I am not done evolving or revolting against the insecurities within… And from what I’ve heard, neither are any of you… SO because I love writing to see myself in print here on the Internets and because I can’t imagine that I can stop until I am as Sexy as possible (look out world if you thought this was a CrazySexyCool Year- you got a couple thinks comin’) or until I start dating Bobby P (really I couldn’t let the last blog go without him)- I will continue the struggle… for you, for me… for Sexy. Because like Killer said at my hs graduation in 1994 “every end is a new beginning…” and that’s totes true, my Sexies… So until next year… Be Sexy and Awesome.
Happy Sexy 2009 to ALL!!!!!!
