What's in a Name?

Well...everything, actually. And thanks to Laraknits, I now have one. Now, if I were to stay true to my mean girl villainy I'd make you all go troll through the comments of the last post to see exactly what it is. But since I'm in a rare mood of benevolency, I'll tell ya!

Hoartense Stashling

(HOAR'-tense Staaaaashling)

Doesn't quite strike fear in the soul, but, neither is being nameless. Perhaps it can be considered a stealth fear-inducer. No one is expecting such vile wrathitude from a monster with an ordinary name, now would they? For instance, if Godzilla was named, say, Gilbert Yakimoto, no one would have ever expected he could wreak the kind of havok on Tokyo he did, now would they? And he would have been feared even more!

So, now that I have a name, I also have a voice! So first up...

Whaddup, Bitches???!?

Gotten any good yarn lately? No? Why the hell not? Couldn't possibly be because you haven't received your September MGYC shipment now could it? Well actually...yes. That's exactly what's happened. And it sucks. And you should give her major grief over it. How DARE she!!!! (Actually, she's ordered the supplies to make this component herself for the remaining months, so she has a back-up plan.) But that's NO excuse!

Ahem...yeah, so, anyway. Due to unforeseen circumstances (well, actually it was foreseen because the same exact thing happened last month, but she was hoping that it wouldn't happen again) the September shipment has been delayed, but will ship within the next week or two. Knottyhoar assures me that measures have since been taken to prevent this from happening again. In the meantime...suck it, hoars! You'll get your yarnz sometime in September as promised, and you'll like it, and you'll be damn glad to even get THAT much. (My words, not hers...she's actually being a little namby pamby, all apologetic and regretful. Bleh!)

Oh, and Lara, I'll make sure the little wimpy cream puff includes your prize in with your MGYC shipment.

I'm a Meany Girl, in a Meany World.

Boo!

Where you scared? Well? Were you?

You should have been, that's one mean looking mascot we've got going on here. But you see, there is a problem with our poster child. She doesn't have a name and that makes her a sad MeanGirl Mascot. As you should know, sad MeanGirl Mascots are unstable MeanGirl Mascots and they might do things like eat yarn.

What? It could happen. I'm sure I read about something similar in the National Yarnquirer.

Anyway, while our Beloved Dyer is off galivanting, I, Adminion Tareshen, have a task for you.

Your task, should you decide to accept it, is to name our darling MeanGirl Mascot. This will require you to outwit, outthink and outmean the competition. As always, should you or any other of the Mean Girls win this competition, the Beloved Dyer will possibly send you a prize. Or send your yarn to me.

This post will self-destruct in...5...4...3...2...

Yeah, I was pulling your leg there.

Ok, you have your assignment. Only ideas left in the comments will be considered for this competition. This contest is only open to legal residents of MeanWorld. Employees, Adminions, and family members of Beloved Dyer are not eligible for prizes.

Wait, crap, I just disqualified myself, didn't I? I should win something for Outstanding Self-Meaness in a Blog Setting. *sigh*

Alright, there you go and get going. I'm anxious to see the results.

Ice Ice Baybee!

What better mean girl to showcase in hot sticky oppressive July than an Ice Queen? And OMG, is Jadis a mean one! Terrorizing children and little furry woodland creatures and crucifying tricking the beautiful kitty into sacrificing himself to save a snot-nosed brat. (Well, it was his own damned fault! Cats are supposed to be the minion, not the opposition!) Yup, she's our kind of girl alright!



I was inspired by this White Witch's realm, and wanted to reflect it in all its icy glory in the yarn.



Our nom for this month is an amazing cotton candy-flavored rock candy suspended on a stick. I wish I could say that I made it, but I don't have that kind of time. Do you have any ideas just how long it takes to develop that amount of candy? Hell no, I am way too impatient to wait around watching crystals grow. Instead, I ordered them from Candy Crate . I'd definitely betray every single one of you for a Sweetie from there!





Also included were a customized tape measure which featured our very own little Meanie Monster Girl and a "Queen of Everything She Sees" stitch marker holder/row marker "made" by yours truly (actually more like assembled by yours truly).

Ice is Nice!

So, anyone dare to hazard a guess on who will be Ms. September?
