It’s Time To Pass On My Crown

I can’t believe that the Mom Sexy Prom is already over!  I had the absolute best time with all of you beautiful women last week, and I cannot wait to host more events like this in the future.  And when I do, I hope that you will all attend!  It just wouldn’t be a party without you.

I thought that a little farewell speech was in order since this is my last official week holding the title of Prom Queen.  It’s officially time to pass on my crown!!

Without further ado…I give you my five nominees for the title of Mom Sexy Prom Queen 2010!  They are listed in no particular order.  (And again, it was SO hard to narrow it down to just five nominees, because you are ALL prom queens in my book)!

1.  The MotherLoad – I just HAD to nominate Erin for her creativity and originality in writing her prom post!  I loved it and laughed the whole way through!  And I love how she did all of her normal day-to-day chores in her little black dress and heels. Don’t miss her Dr. Seuss version of the Mom Sexy Prom!

2.  Crazy Brunette Chick – Yet another Mom Sexy chick that I just couldn’t resist nominating!  I have never seen anybody want something so bad in my entire life, so her sheer determination was a huge factor.  I am also a little fearful that she might kick my ass if I don’t nominate her.  Plus, she totally cracks me up.  She’s funnier than I am, folks.

3. Heligirl - This was the first prom that Heligirl attended…and I think that she pulled it off without a hitch!  Her prom photos were absolutely beautiful…so beautiful in fact, that I seriously think they could pass for actual prom photos.  She also had a great message about being comfortable and confident in her own skin…the foundation of my Mom Sexy Revolution!

4. Motherhood is a Calling - What can I say?  Jen totally got the dance party started at this prom.  And she busted a move to Lady Gaga, one of my faves these days.  People were starting to get a little shy about hitting the dance floor, and Jen cranked the party up a notch.  You can’t have a good prom without some booty shakin!

5.  Jules Out Loud – Evonne didn’t get the chance to go to her senior prom…so this was her night!  She also managed to find a dress she forgot she had…how fun is that?  I love when I go into my closet and find something cute that I’d forgotten about.  She also brought her own booze, which was totally cool.  My kinda girl.

You can vote for your favorite once a day through this Friday, July 2nd! The winner will be announced on Monday, July 5th, and her tiara and box full of other goodies from me will be sent to her that week!  She will also be my Mom Sexy Blogger of the Month for July and will have her button on my sidebar for the entire month.

Mom Sexy Prom 2010

Hello all of my lovely Mom Sexy Prom Queens in the making!  I’ve been so excited about this little shindig for weeks now…and I hope that all of you have too. Are you ready to have some fun?  It’s time to get this party started!

I’m convinced that this prom is going to be way more fun than any of the ones I attended in high school.  Because I’ve got a few things working in my favor this time around:

1. I know that I can be kind of a pain in the ass sometimes, but I’m fairly certain that my boyfriend isn’t going to break up with me five days after this prom.  And if he does, then he can kiss my ass.  There are plenty of other fish in the sea.

2. I decided to save a little cash and opted not to rent a limo…which means that there is absolutely zero chance of me leaving the prom riding in it by myself.  Been there, done that.

3. Corsages are optional at my event, and I’m choosing not to wear one. The whole wilted flower thing just doesn’t go with my “do-me” heels.

And of course, my dress is really workin’ for me this time. I think that it looks pretty damn good.  I’m actually pretty sure that if I had worn this little number to my Senior Prom back in 1995 instead of the red and gold sequined halter dress that made me look like a Solid Gold dancer, maybe the dude that I’d had a crush on the entire year would have actually danced with me.

Or at least he would’ve thought about it.

And since my Mom Sexy post just wouldn’t be complete without a video included, I’ve prepared a little Prom Welcome for you.

Ok, I’ve shown off enough for one day!  Now it’s YOUR turn!  Take a picture or video of your Mom Sexy self, post it on your blog, and then link up your post below!  I’m so excited to see how gorgeous all of you look that I can hardly stand it!  This is our time to shine and our excuse to get all dolled up!

The McLinky will be up today through this Friday, June  25th, so you have plenty of time to pick out a dress and strut your stuff! I encourage you to mingle with EVERYONE at the prom, because there are NO CLIQUES allowed with Mom Sexy.  Check back each day this week to see who else showed up for my event…and make sure to stop by their blogs and tell them how beautiful they look!

The nominees for Prom Queen will be announced early next week…although you are ALL Queens in my opinion!  Whoever is crowned Prom Queen will also hold the title of my Mom Sexy Blogger for July.  And I will also be sending her a little goodie bag, with a tiara included.

One more thing…for those of you who have been kind enough to vote for my audition video to possibly win my own talk show on Oprah’s new network, thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Your support means the world to me!

If by some one in billion chance I actually win this thing, I’m totally hosting a LIVE MOM SEXY PROM as one of my first shows. And you’re all invited.

Hell, I may even have to wear that red and gold sequined number I told you about.  (Yes, I still have it).

I Auditioned for Oprah!

Well ladies and gentlemen, I think it’s safe to say that I have 100% officially lost my marbles.  Granted, there have been a few tell tale signs in my life before, but this one really takes the cake.

Apparently my bringing Mom Sexy back to the blogosphere just wasn’t good enough for me.  NOPE!

Because I think that I need to have my own Talk Show centered around Mom Sexy on the new Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). And that’s why I made an audition video and uploaded it and poured my heart and soul into the online application that took me over two hours to fill out.

A little over a week ago, my good friend Michele over at The Professional Family Manager sent me a message and told me that she thought I should audition for Oprah’s contest and spin a show off my whole Mom Sexy Revolution.  And as much as I appreciated her confidence in me and my idea, I really didn’t think that I had the balls to actually make the video and submit it.

But as I thought about the concept more and more, my attitude slowly started to change.  Instead of thinking, “there’s no way that I could do something like that”, I started thinking:

“You know what?  Women across America NEED MOM SEXY.  They need to get their groove back.  They need to reclaim their inner sexy.  And if I don’t at least TRY to give them what they are all craving, then I’ll always wonder if I could’ve made a difference in their lives.”

And so I sucked it up and did it.

And now I need your help if the producers are going to notice me!

You can view my audition video and hear all about my proposed idea for a Mom Sexy show here.

I will warn you in advance that my video is not perfect.  But neither am I.  I am, however, Mom Sexy as HELL, and being sexy is not about being perfect.

It also cuts me off at the very end, so you can’t hear me asking everyone to VOTE FOR ME!

But I really would LOVE to have the support of your vote. But please don’t vote for me because you think you have to.  Vote for me because you believe as strongly as I do that moms everywhere DESERVE this show.  They DESERVE this confidence boost. And they DESERVE their sexy.

You can vote as often as you like!  (hint, hint, wink, wink)

You can also help me by tweeting the following:  Please vote for @themommyologist to have her own Mom Sexy Talk Show on Oprah’s New Network! http://bit.ly/bHL5vX Please RT

Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart!  And if by some one-in-a-billion shot I actually manage to win this thing, you are ALL going to be invited to one hell of a good party.  And yes, the drinks will be on me.

And thank you again, Michele, for believing in me and reminding ME of my inner Mom Sexy.  And I’d also like to give a shout out and a thank you to my bloggy sis, Shell, for encouraging me to make Mom Sexy a regular feature on my blog after I wrote my initial post about it.  I will never forget the kindness and support of these two wonderful ladies!

Mom Sexy Prom Details

Sooo…are you coming to my prom?  I heard through the grapevine that people are having a bit of a tough time finding the details on my blog (sorry about that!), so I’m reposting the scoop on my Mom Sexy Prom 2010!

After being inspired by my Mom Sexy Blogger of the Month for June, I started thinking about how all of us have these awesome dresses that sit in our closets and maybe come out once a year if we are lucky.  And I really think that it is a total tragedy, that as sexy mamas, we don’t get to show them off a little more often. So I want to give all of us an occasion to get all gussied up and strut our stuff a bit.

I’m pleased to officially invite all of you to:

THE MOMMYOLOGIST’S MOM SEXY PROM – MONDAY, JUNE 21st, 2010

That’s right ladies.  I’m turning Mom Sexy into Prom Sexy at the end of this month.  Please join me on Monday, June 21st, and link up your post with a picture of you in “Your Hot Dress” or “Your Hot Outfit”, whatever it may be. This is your excuse to finally put on that little number that you never wear because you just don’t have a reason to. You have an occasion now!  And you know what?  You’re not even required to bring a date to this prom.  I plan on going stag.

The McLinky will be up from Monday, the 21st, until Friday, the 25th, and then me and my yet-to-be-selected team of expert panelists will nominate five ladies who linked up their photo to be our Mom Sexy Prom Queen. On Monday, the 28th, the five nominees for prom queen will be revealed and all of you will have the chance to vote daily for the winner.  And she will be crowned on July 1st as my Mom Sexy Prom Queen Blogger for July. (And yes, I will be sending the winner her very own tiara. Every queen deserves one).

I am SO pumped about this and I really think that this is going to be the BEST PROM EVER! (And I’m pretty sure that I won’t leave in the limo alone after this one).

I really think that this is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!  I really hope to see all of you on the 21st!!!

A Sexy Boost for your Weekend

(I hit publish too early on this one and can’t figure out how to fix it, so I’m just gonna go with it even though today is Thursday)!

Where has the week gone?  This one flew by for me, and I can’t believe it’s already Friday!

While I was flipping back through some of my recent Friday posts, I noticed that I’ve sort of had a common theme.  I’m really rockin’ and rollin’ with my Mom Sexy Revolution these days, and I’ve been trying to write Friday posts that leave all of you feeling good about yourselves as we head into the weekends.  Because for whatever reason, the weekends seem to the be the time when all the “stuff” comes up.

And by “stuff”, I mean all of those little things in our lives that make us doubt our worth and our sexy.  Sometimes it’s the pizza that you ate way too much of on Friday night and that you still feel guilty for eating come Sunday morning.  Or maybe it’s the fact that you’re having friends over for a cookout and instead of laughing and having a good time, you sit there and constantly worry about whether your thighs look fat in the shorts you chose to put on.  Or hell, maybe the “stuff” that really brings you down in the dumps is when you look at the clock on Saturday night and realize it’s only 9:00pm and that you can’t possibly keep your eyes open for one more second because your kids completely kicked your ass that day.  And then you start to feel old.  And then feeling old makes you feel a whole lot less sexy.

In an effort to ditch the “stuff” and give all of you a “sexy boost” as we head into the weekend, I am keeping with my inspirational trend and offering a little sexy food for thought this Friday.  And I’m going to try and keep up with doing something similar every Friday this summer if I can. Because we could all use a reminder at the end of each week that we are indeed sexy mamas.

I was reading the June 2010 issue of Self Magazine on my plane ride home from TN last Sunday, and the cover article with actress, Amanda Seyfried had me wanting to unbuckle my seat belt despite the little light that was glowing above my head and jump up and down in the aisles and maybe even dance a little bit!

Amanda was asked the following question:

“Do you have any tips on accepting imperfections rather than beating yourself up over every little flaw?”

And here is her kick-ass answer:

“Remember, nobody’s perfect.  In Hollywood, people may seem perfect, but that’s because they spend thousands on trainers and diets and surgeries.  We’re made to feel as if we’re supposed to look like that, but it’s not realistic at all. If you have a negative body image, exercise, but not for your appearance.  The main thing you can change is how you perceive yourself.  Stop looking in the mirror and realize that you’re living for yourself, not other people.  If we’re so busy trying to change ourselves, especially aesthetically, we’re going to miss out on other, bigger things…”

Seriously people…how Mom Sexy is Amanda?  I know she’s not a mom, but she’s Mom Sexy as hell!  I honestly couldn’t have given a better answer than she did.  She hit the nail right on the head as far as my whole Mom Sexy philosophy goes.

Strive for sexy because it feels good for YOU.

Remember that being sexy is not about the way you look.  It’s an ATTITUDE.

And people pick up on your attitude a lot more than you think.

I want you to try a little something this weekend.  As you go about your day, walk around with your head held high, and repeat the words, “I Am Sexy!” in your head as you interact with other people.  I promise you that your sexy will shine through.  And you won’t be the only one who notices it. Giving off positive vibes comes back full circle.

Trust me, it works.

Have a safe, wonderful, and sexy weekend!

And don’t forget to mark your calendars for my Mom Sexy Prom 2010, happening on Monday, June 21st!!

I’m In Woman’s World Magazine!

I don’t know about you, but I am a complete and total junkie when it comes to Woman’s World Magazine.  Every time I see a new issue in the check out line at the grocery store, I just cannot resist grabbing one and putting it on the belt.  And I’m not going to lie, I usually get sucked in by the latest diet craze that is featured on the cover…but once I delve deeper into the issue, it’s the delicious and most-definitely-not-fat-free recipes that really hold my interest.

This week, I actually picked up more than one copy of the latest issue of Woman’s World…because The Mommyologist is featured in it!

It’s the June 14th issue, and I am on page 34, in the last box at the bottom of the page, professing my undying love for Crystal Light Lemonade mix.  It’s always fun to see your name in print, but to see your website address? Yeah, it’s way cooler!

I was so excited about it, that I even prepared a little video for all of you!

When you pick up your Crystal Light and Citrus Vodka today, don’t forget to pick up a copy of Woman’s World as well!

C’mon…you know you want to.

Disclosure:  I was not compensated by Woman’s World Magazine, Crystal Light, or Smirnoff for writing this post and making this video.  I was just super-excited to see my name and blog address in print and I wanted to share it with my awesome readers.  I am also a huge fan of Crystal Light martinis and I wanted to make sure that everyone had the tools to try them out for themselves. Please drink responsibly.  And try and refrain from blogging, texting, facebooking, and tweeting after consuming a few of these delicious martinis.  Just trust me on that one.  I’m only looking out for your best interests.
