Yesterday Bossy mentioned her desire to create a photo collage of her readers reader, and she mentioned she was gauging general enthusiasm for the project. Well: there wasn’t just general enthusiasm—there was Major General Enthusiasm.
And so this photo collage will act as Bossy’s blogroll, but it will also represent those in Bossy’s cast of characters who do not have blogs.
Here’s what Bossy needs:
- Ultimately she would love a photo of you at your computer. She understands this can be hard to manage. A few people already sent Bossy their photo, and here is an example of different ways people tackled the task:
Bossy also understands that some of you would rather remain anonymous. This is the way a couple of people managed to send a photo while leaving something up to the imagination:
While others let it all hang out. Well, maybe not all:
- Keep in mind that the photo you send is going to end up small, and it is going to end up square. The simpler the photo is, the punchier it will be. In terms of what size image to send, Bossy will ultimately provide the cropping of your photo to fit her format, so you don’t have to worry your pretty head about that.
Like this pretty head:
Or this one:
- Please email Bossy your photo with “portrait” in the subject line. Bossy’s email address badge lives in her left-hand column near her Guess and Press, and maybe Bossy forgot to mention this on yesterday’s tour? If you don’t feel like
walkingscrolling all the way up there you can use this button toor email: iambossy@gmail.com
- When naming your jpg image, please include the name you use when commenting. Also, please mention your comment name somewhere in your email.
- If you have a blog, please include the exact URL link to your blog in your email.
- If it’s too much hassle to get your hands on a camera, email Bossy an existing photo. Although you have some time. For instance the amount of time necessary for Bossy to learn how to make a photo collage and to add links to certain photos and to poke her eyes out with her power strip.
Bossy can hardly wait!
And vuboq has been given a way to occupy his last hour at work today! Wacky Workstation Photography Session! YAYZ! THX, Bossy!
except vuboq just noticed he left his camera at home. *le sigh*
I have to print out all those instructions, take my picture,(if I can get the fat on my upper arms to not block the camera lens). All of this has to take place after I go to my Friday Matinee to see Sex And The City…baby!
Oh boy… picture pages, picture pages, lots of fun with picture pages!
Now let me see if I can teach a young child how to take a flattering photo…
Fun! Fun! Fun!
I think I’ll send a picture of my wiener!!
(bet that will get people talking!)

Dearest Bossy,
I’m not sure I have the skills, or frankly the interest to snap, figure out how to connect to computer, send said pic to Bossy, but could you please send Pam the naked guy in picture 8? Many (one hopes!) thanks in advance.
Im so excited..and I just cant hide it.. Im about to lose control.. and I think I like it.. oh oh oh..
Oh loard Madness is a dork.
So does this mean you want me to send you a new one?
don’t have camera, computer questionable and hardly have a head.
what to do?
I sent you my portrait. 😀
Bossy rocks! So excited. Hee!
Bossy called me a pretty head
*Swoon*
Avi – you look like a terrorist in that picture, yes take a new one. 🙂
Thank goodness for digital film and the ability to re-shoot.
Aye, Aye, Cap’n!! What fun!
This is going to be fun. Great idea!
DONE!
Bossy, if you still have it, you can use the photo that I sent you a while back w/my sisters-just crop the ho’s out and leave me in. Let me know if you need me to resend.
Sweet. I will be digging through my pictures and sending one off to you this weekend!
done and done.
Have I ever mentioned that my brother was my “brother of honor” at my wedding. And have I ever mentioned that the THEME of the BRIDAL SHOWER he threw for me was “immersion therapy.” And have I ever mentioned that it wasn’t a success because My brother of honor threw a party to try to combat my PHOTOPHOBIA.
I’m sweating and have palpitations.
I will persevere and send a picture nevertheless, because, really, who wouldn’t want to be in Bossy’s collage?! WRH wants in.
great idea! I sent an email off… I sure hope it worked!
ohmydog. I have to email you a photo or I’m off your blogroll?! Ack.
Well, I’m putting this on my to-do list, but … I always lose my to-do list. Double-ack.
Sounds like a cool idea though …
Portrait sent. Or at least it’s the portrait I share with the world.
Lord what is wrong with you? There are days I can’t work string cheese and now this?
There will be no photos until after my cast comes off and I’ve lost that last 7 pounds and had hair and makeup come in. I have my public, tiny though it may be, to think of.
🙂
The lighting in my picture leaves MUCH to be desired..and you can almost see my cavitys..I’m very happy I didn’t have a booger. I struggled since I don’t have long Bossy arms..
Glad you approve. 🙂
Boy those people are sure on top of things if they’ve already done this!
Fame at last! Anonymous fame, but still fame.
So glad I’ve got long invisible BOSSY arms.
Just to clarify, that’s not my sandal. Crimson nail varnish doesn’t go with my toes.
Oh! Oh! I am on Bossy’s blog! Middle of the final filmstrip!
I think I just had a spontaneous orgasm.
Bossy, just to let you know THIS WILL SEND YOU MAD and require MANY bottles of wine and bags to place the wads of pretty embracing of inner curl hair that you will tear out in frustration.
My blogroll is awesome. And took me almost forever. And then people were all ‘where am I Kelley?’ and then started getting antsy when I didn’t want to go back there again until my hair grew back.
I have exactly eleventy hundred more people that want on my blogroll. Then there are the people who want to CHANGE their picture…
Excuse me I need some medicinal red wine right now…
the girls took turns taking pict, Aunt Martha will have to pick the “winner” wait till you see my new glasses! (erik!)
I’m all over this like flies on honey.
Mine’s coming atcha. Took it special just for you.
Yay! I’m so excited I just peed a little.
I’ll have my four-year-old take a pic. This’ll be interesting …
I’ll tackle this later, right after I get my hair done. Which I am not doing for the purpose of this particular photo. I’m doing it because I look like a shaggy hag. Because of the hair, that is.
I did it Bossy!
Photo is on the way.
I have a to-do list as long as a toddler, but this is now at the top.
By the way, I remembered the other day that I never answered your comment about why BOSSY’s name is not on The People’s Party invitation. It is simple: We tried to add it but the Internet called us and said that it had reached the maximum number of buttons that could include the name BOSSY.
Stop being so damn fun and popular and dynamic and engaging and maybe we’ll let you co-host a party someday.
Okay, so I just sent you a pic of me without pants.
Awww Bossy said I’m pretty!
My cats are pretty too, they’re behind me napping 🙂
Consider it sent. And confusing. 8^)
Except that I misnamed my picture. A thousand apologies.
hi bossy. i just emailed you a pic. good luck w/the collage. i messed up on renaming the pic. sorry.
You are one brave lady. Good luck and this is a great idea. Do you want my photo with my bald head or with a hat?
My best,
Dorothy from grammology

Guess I need to shower today after all.
It just doesn’t pay to go on vacation. I’ve missed so much.
I hope I’m not too late, here I come to you in all my NYC heat-wave not-glory. You can practically see me wilt in all the photos I took to get one that contained enough of my head to send…
It’s like high school yet again. I don’t feel I’m cool enough to be on the rock and roll 40 year olds blog. I so woulnd’t be invited to the blocks party. Must drink wine.
hi
