Joanie Did it (Tagged Again)
Hello All You talented people,
Well it seems I've been tagged again. Twice this month even! I have to keep my
eyes peeled cause you just don't know when you'll get it! My friend Joanie of appleheadart.blogspot.com/
tagged me. She is a fantastic artist and illustrator. I look forward to seeing what she will
post from week to week. I love her for her fresh style and color choices. They are always so tasty.
Check her out sometimes and make sure you tag her for me when you get there! he he he
This is going to be difficult to tag anyone. Everyone is getting ready for
turkey day, some of you don't have time to be tagged, and some of you have been
tagged sufficiently already, and others are in the process of being tagged right now he he he!
SO here is what I'm gonna do,
I gonna tell you stuff about me that you can share over turkey dinner.
Here we go!
1. I am a singer. Jazz, Gospel, Neo-soul. My mom, dad, and little sister Coy sang and played instruments.
2. I am a Geechee or Gullah. These are West African people who came to the islands of South Carolina during slavery. You can read more at 2Geecheegirls.blogspot.com Yeah I know, ruthless self promotion. he he he
3.I am a slave to bugs bunny and merry melodies.
4. I watch lots of Carol Brunette
5. I love Scallops. I just had my first taste of them about 3 years ago at a party. I'm hooked.
6. I clowned professionally for 7 years
7. I wear lots and lots and lots and lots of wigs. And yes, I'm bald.
8. Many people in my family share the same birthday of 10/03
9. I talk to myself all the time
10. I can tell when a centipede is in a room. It's weird, but true.
11. Some people take my kindness for weekness and stupidity. NOT!! he he he
12. Once my car was stolen out of my drive way. I saw my car while in my friends car and we followed it.
We ended up taking the car back from the thieves while they went into an apartment building. he he he
Bonus information,
I was hit by a car when I was 5.
Okay that's enough!

Bonjour Vanessa! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your wonderful comments about my art! Hey, I forgot to tell you: My other side-business, yeah! I am a commercial artists too but am in the process of letting go..., is OhLaLa ! Have a great one! LuLu
Same as me, I had a car accident too:(
wait a minute...you clowned professionally?!?!? I am very curious and that is very cool! You must tell us more!!
Wowww!you are a singer!I really would like to hear your voice!I'm sure it is great as your lovely illustration!
Honestly Vanessa... you make all of the rest of us seem like cardboard cutouts. :)
This was fun reading about you. You clowned professionally? You have many talents, my friend.
Goodness, you have become quite the rock star. I am lucky enough to get in a comment ahead of the other fans :). Sorry I've missed a few posts. Love the opinion... can't relate, but it was still funny.
This particular piece is great, also a nice reminder of what goes around, comes around. Keep rockin'!
I'm not going to lie to you. I love reading about all the crazy stuff that your have done. Professional clown? Cool. Do you have one of those life check lists that you're trying to get everything crossed off before you die?
I loved this tag! so good to know about you more! =D
Dear Vanessa! thank you so much for your very nice Bday greet =)
I'm so happy to have great friend like you! and today I really treat myself with all food I love and just eat. LOL. Thanks again! =)

and again… there has been a lot of "tagging" going on… and for whatever it's worth… i just tagged you… no need to list all those fab things about yourself AGAIN…
My GOODNESS, Vanessa! You are just an endless treasure trove of interesting facts! You should just change your name to Miss Fabulous Wonder. Singing clown AND repo-gal!
Ooooh, I hate centipedes. They are so hairy looking and a boatload of ugly.
I enjoyed learning about you, Vanessa. A clown--wow! You sing and talk to yourself--we share similar "habits." Hee hee. You're lucky to have gotten your car back without incident.
I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Vanessa.
It's the perfect curriculum vitae.

Well then my friend you'll be on the top of my party list and I'll just call and cancel the singer and clown act that I had booked!!!
You're amazing!
