Top Cutlines:

  • 1. The men of HBO were originally resistant to the Princess Tea Party theme for Blogfest. When DFO explained that belly dancing would be the featured entertainment, the fellas quickly acquiesced and even offered to make paper crowns -- CindyH.
  • 2. Finally able to stomach the event, little Taylor started to tap her toes; Makena did the same with her two Cubic feet -- John Austin.
  • 3. Danijela’s next stop will be the Salem Oregon Reform School for Young Women where she plans to demonstrate and teach the art of pole dancing -- Poolman.
