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 to
or 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!

Grandma J says
May 30, 2008 at 11:41 amI 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!

May 30, 2008 at 11:53 amDearest 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.

*Swoon*
Scottsdale Girl says
May 30, 2008 at 12:42 pmAvi – you look like a terrorist in that picture, yes take a new one. 🙂
Noelle says
May 30, 2008 at 12:58 pmThank goodness for digital film and the ability to re-shoot.
MamaMo says
May 30, 2008 at 1:07 pmAye, Aye, Cap’n!! What fun!
Aimee says
May 30, 2008 at 1:18 pmThis is going to be fun. Great idea!
The Domestic Goddess says
May 30, 2008 at 1:26 pmDONE!
Laura says
May 30, 2008 at 1:28 pmBossy, 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.
meleah rebeccah says
May 30, 2008 at 1:42 pmSweet. I will be digging through my pictures and sending one off to you this weekend!
The Mom says
May 30, 2008 at 1:57 pmdone and done.
kristin says
May 30, 2008 at 2:58 pmHave 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.
Tara R says
May 30, 2008 at 3:53 pmgreat idea! I sent an email off… I sure hope it worked!
so NOT cool says
May 30, 2008 at 4:02 pmohmydog. 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 …
Mama Bear says
May 30, 2008 at 4:25 pmPortrait sent. Or at least it’s the portrait I share with the world.
Suzy says
May 30, 2008 at 4:31 pmLord 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.
mp says
May 30, 2008 at 4:33 pm🙂
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. 🙂
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
May 30, 2008 at 6:41 pmBoy those people are sure on top of things if they’ve already done this!
Mr Farty says
May 30, 2008 at 7:25 pmFame 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.
manager mom says
May 30, 2008 at 7:48 pmOh! Oh! I am on Bossy’s blog! Middle of the final filmstrip!
I think I just had a spontaneous orgasm.
Kelley says
May 30, 2008 at 9:01 pmBossy, 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…

mommypie says
May 31, 2008 at 1:13 amYay! I’m so excited I just peed a little.
I’ll have my four-year-old take a pic. This’ll be interesting …
Meg says
May 31, 2008 at 8:12 amI’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.
BJ says
May 31, 2008 at 8:24 amI did it Bossy!
SecondHand Karl says
May 31, 2008 at 8:36 amPhoto is on the way.
Velveteen Mind - Megan says
May 31, 2008 at 9:54 amI 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.
Kevin Charnas says
May 31, 2008 at 11:20 amOkay, so I just sent you a pic of me without pants.
Jadielady says
May 31, 2008 at 12:00 pmAwww Bossy said I’m pretty!
My cats are pretty too, they’re behind me napping 🙂
Moi says

Moi says

Dorothy Stahlnecker says
June 2, 2008 at 6:12 amYou 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,

June 10, 2008 at 8:00 amI 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…
Kiki says
July 7, 2008 at 9:51 pmIt’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.
