Irresistibly Sweet Award: MY VERY FIRST BLOG AWARD!

Hi everyone!!!

I'm just THRILLED to pieces right now because Meredith of Forever Classics has gifted me my FIRST EVER BLOG AWARD! It is the Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award. This is just so, so, so cool and a billion thanks to Meredith for tagging me.

My "badge of honor", which you will now see proudly adorning my sidebar.

So, according to the rules, here's what I'm supposed to do next:

1. Thank and link the person who nominated you. (Done - a billion and ten thanks, Meredith!)

2. Share 7 random facts about yourself.

3. Pass the award to 12 fellow bloggers.

4. Notify the recipients.

Okay, so here are the 7 random facts about moi:

1) I take French at school using Rosetta Stone and can proudly speak "broken French."

2) I have a soft spot for 80's sitcoms - "Who's the Boss?" is my second favorite show of all time, and then I have obsessions with "The Cosby Show" "The Facts of Life" and "The Golden Girls"... I think it's got something to do with the crazy fashions and hairstyles. :D

3) I take ballet. I am actually just starting with it, but I really love it. I was inspired to start when I learned that Natalie Wood, Audrey Hepburn, and Princess Diana all took ballet in their youth... and Audrey and Diana even seriously considered it for careers (obviously, they didn't land up as ballerinas...)

4) I have a pet chinchilla named Bogart, but we call him "Bobo" for short. (I totally wanted to get him a girlfriend and call her Laurie, for Lauren Bacall. But that all changed when we found out chinchillas can fight to the death... err...)

5) I played the Duchess in a school production of "Alice in Wonderland."

6) I love to travel. I've visited both Europe and Asia (England and India), but I could totally see more! The top three places I want to visit are: France (and Paris in particular, how stereotypical of me), Italy (how awesome would it be to visit Stromboli?? Ingrid fans will know what I mean), and Morocco (Casablanca, of course!)

7) I have been writing - typing stories on the computer - since I was about five years old. I always loved books... and that's where it all started. I still write stories and I have my blog to write on, too!

Okay. Now, I have to tag 12 other bloggers for the award. :)

1) Natalie of In the Mood

2) Clara of Via Margutta 51

3) Sophie of Waitin on a Sunny Day

4) Bette of Bette's Classic Movie Blog.

5) The girls at True Classics.

6) Millie of Classic Forever

7) Kate of Scathingly Brilliant

8) Sally of Flying Down to Hollywood

9) Mandy of Time Machine to the Twenties

10) Audrey of Fedoras and High Heels

11) Angela of The Hollywood Revue

12) Flappers and Flickers and Silent Stanzas

Okay, so here's the thing: since this award has been getting around, I noticed that a lot of the blogs I've tagged have already won this award. But since it doesn't say anyplace in the rules that you can't win twice, I guess these wonderful bloggers will just have to deal with being awarded over and over!

Also, since I'm fairly new to the blog scene, I'm not, like, blog buddies with all of these bloggers. You may wonder who I am. But, well, welcome to Frankly, My Dear I guess! But I also hope this will help me get more acquainted with the other bloggers in the classic movie community!

Once again, just oodles of thanks to Meredith (the link is up top, and also in my blog roll) and be sure and check out all of these other wonderful blogs. It was so hard to narrow down to just 12!
