Today, when my New York Social Diary arrived in my in box, I scrolled down and saw a photograph of my friend and style/decorating/shop-owning icon, Stiles Colwill. The article was about the new exhibit of Matisse’s art at the MoMA. 
As I have mentioned before, I think I am hilarious! No, really, I do! Anyway, my friend and fellow blogger, Maxminimus, did a hysterical post on what pictures not to put on your page if you’re on a dating site. It’s laugh-out-loud funny. There was one picture he posted and he mentioned to the gal in the photo, that he’d be at the Giant Food Store in Old Town Alexandria on Saturday, if she cared to meet him.
As a spoof, I created an article from the Washington Post talking about the near-riot conditions that he caused by announcing the time and place of his appearance. 
I crack myself up sometimes.
Well done with the article. Very funny stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny!
ReplyDeleteOk, I thought I was funny but that's hilarious. And his post on online dating pictures just about made me spew my morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteI had never read his blog until this morning and I have laughed my butt off! He is so spot "on" I can barely contain myself!!! And your spoof was GREAT!!!! Thanks for sharing...he has a new subscriber!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your spoof! You have gained a new reader!! WONDERFUL sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteIf only I'd known about the occasion....
You ARE funny! And now you've spoiled me 'cause I want to do a MegTown ersatz WashPost article at least once a week.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to have fun!!! Even when it is 100* outside and the power is knocked out! Hope that the storm did not affect you and that it is a little cooler over there. Thanks for the laugh. Mary
ReplyDeleteThe Onion has a job opening -- we have emailed the link. Certainly the Onion Editors will be texting U .
ReplyDeleteOh - that is too funny. I read about first on ADG's blog. As a faithful reader of both the Post and Maxminimus I wondered how I missed it. You crack me up too.
ReplyDeleteMeg - You have a new career in the works!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Cone Collection, I was very lucky to grow up within walking distance of the BMA. My mother often took me there and one of my earlies memories - definitely my first museum-related memory is from the Cone Collection and Matisse's Pink Nude (not the one shown in your post). Fast-forward to 2001 when I had moved to London for grad school - I was waiting for the Tube one of my first days there and little twinges of homesickness were starting to creep in - and there, directly opposite me was a poster for an exhibit at the Royal Academy - French Masterpieces from the Cone Collection, I believe was the title - and there was Matisse's Pink Nude - I couldn't get myself to the Royal Academy fast enough to see "my" Pink Nude...from Baltimore
You are super funny and way talented. I j'adore ADG and thank Allie VonAwesomeness for leading me to both of you in the blogosphere.
