VOGUE (Giveaway)

Uglier than a bucket full of armpits and thinner than an Amish phone book, Farm Boy buys these half starved sale-barn cattle to pretty up and fatten out. Believe me, these hungry bovines eat better than a empty bellied three hundred pound trucker at an all ya can eat buffet when they belly up to the feed bunks here on the Ponderosa. It sure doesn't take these Stravin' Marvins long to plump up and slick out.

Heck, these two beauties could join Beth over at" Social Climbers" for a Monogram Monday. Just look at how these two high society 'it' gals are monogrammed to the kilts. Folks, don't get your bloomers in a bundle, these ladies were previously monogrammed prior to landin' on the Ponderosa.

Shockin' as an electric fence durin' a thunderstorm, this Ozark Farm Chick was once a sorority girl herself! Yep, I've climbed a social rung or two myself but these days I'm a bonafied 100% Farm gal. Now, if ya'll a want in on the well kept secrets of the Main Line Socialites, I've got the book for you! Even an country lass from the Ozark Mountains can run with chic elites sportin' names like Bibby, Coco and Lilly followin' Beth's advice. Do ya feel as confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar dropped smack in the middle of a social settin'? The 'Preppy Bible' holds the key to your grip on scalin' the social ladder.

That sweet generous Beth over at" Social Climbers "is givin' one of my lucky readers a signed copy of her book "Social Climbers". Now, if that won't sweeten your bitter tea! All ya have to do is comment. That's it. I love the KISS method. Ya know, 'keep it simply sister' but please go visit this special blogger and say 'howdy'! Go, put your feet up and sit a'spell.

In 1990 the real 'it girl', Madonna, wrote and sang, "All you need is your own imagination...So use it that's what it's for...go inside, for your finest inspiration...Your dreams will open the door." This hit song is an upbeat dance~pop tune with heavy influences of the seventies disco era. After readin' Beth's book, you too will be strikin' a pose and singin' "Vogue !!!"

Ya'll have a blessed and beautiful Christmas.
" Social Climbers" can be purchased at Amazon.com.

  2. Those hungry bovines look kind of sweet in their own sort of way. I climbed a rung or two myself on that social ladder back in the day. Long since past it now. But I'll take a look at the book. Striking a pose is always fun. I do it every Derby Day wearing hats. You have a wonderful Christmas too. Take care.

  4. don't enter me in the giveaway (not a high-society bone in this body and not much of a reader, either!) but wanted to comment that i'm glad your hubby is fattening up those cows. i know the end result won't be that happy for them, but they get to live the good life for a while at least!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Oh Nezzy, no one but you could make those big 'ol cows sound so cute and appealing.
    I gave up preppy after my sorority days too, but I bet the book is interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Oh, the new "babies" are so sweet. I am so thankful that you have them and are taking good care of them.

  7. Yep, looks like they have possibly been around the block a time or two,and seen a branding iron a few times too.Hope they enjoy their time at the Ponderosa! Love the way you write so much more entertaining. Hope your Christmas preparations are going well! I will have to take time and check out Social Climbers soon.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Now I'm as confused as a hungry baby at a topless bar. I thought you were giving away a cow.

    ReplyDelete
  9. It's so good that you are rescuing these cows. You are, aren't you? Or are they going to be on somebody's table eventually? They are not exactly cuddly pets, after all... :-)

    ReplyDelete
  10. You are THE Person who definitely gives me a chance to laugh out loud.
    Bovines have to eat, too.
    I love to read. Mostly, I read for entertainment. Wonder if Barnes & Noble has this book available for my NookColor? Off I go to check it out.
    Have a great day, Nezzy.

  11. Hope those cows of yours are fat and glossy real soon!

    =)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow. They are not looking so warm and cuddly. Looks like a prison lineup. LOL!I would still be afraid of those horns sawed off or not. Have a beautiful Christmas now and God Bless.

  13. Have fun with your new friends!

  14. Poor precious cows. I'm so glad they finally got fed. It's hard to climb a social ladder taking care of children all the time! No ladders in that career!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Those cows and me have a bit in common. We are all fattening up for the holidays! Thanks for the giveaway! The book looks interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Well, I am not a social climber, but your posts are the best read in cyber space. No one does it like you and you should be doing your own book.
    Hope you are decked for the holidays! Would love to see what you do with a string of lights.
    Hugs- Tete

    ReplyDelete
  17. Well they are a couple of interesting looking specimens. As a farmer from a way back, I always like the patchy faced ones best - they just have such character.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Not entering to win, but the word Vogue should never be followed by a picture of a cow. Just saying!
    Those cows look graffitied.

  19. Hi Nezzy, thanks for stopping by and your sweet comment, it meant a lot!

  20. I'm glad that YOU popped in to visit on this Blue Monday, Nezzy!

  21. Hi Nezzy, just wanted you to know that Margaret Andrews' book came in the mail today. Thanks so much for hosting this give away. I'm anxious to start reading it. Do you suppose my blogging will improve?

    It looks like that bovine got BBQed on the hoof while passing by some hot branding irons toting cowboys before it landed at the ponderosa.

    I'm glad that you guys don't brand the animals at the Ponderosa and I'm glad that I don't have to brand my little calves either I tell ya.

    Just got another bull big calf last evening. It was a hard pull this time. Kept us busy till 9:00PM.

    Stay perky. JB

    ReplyDelete
  22. Make that a big bull calf, ha ha ha JB

  23. Thanks for stopping by and commenting - I'm impressed that you have only broken one ornament... as you can see a few of mine are missing - although some may have found their way to another box, since I believe I gad some help taking down the last tree!
    Love your cattle... the girls look happy, sassy and plump! What a collection of 'monograms' as you call them... ouch!

    ReplyDelete
  24. fun post ! And Oh my!! those critters have seen the world! they have to have at least 4 brand each!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I can't believe all the brands on those animals! Her book sounds pretty wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thinner than an Amish phone book?!!!! That's good! I like the bovines. So were they branded? Or are they spray-painted? What do you do with them? Milk, beef, or offspring? Grandpa did all three on his dairy farm. As usual, it's fun and wonderful to hear from you!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Well the monogramed cows I feel sorry for. I'm sure they are better now that they are at your place.
    As for Beth's book, enter me...I've followed her for some time now. I'd love to read it!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLY FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!! That confused baby in a topless bar.....teeeeheee..Oh Nezzy, you are a scream!!!!!!!!! Anita

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well, I'm not into climbing social ladders or any other kind of ladders at my age! LOL! So, thanks, but I'll pass on the giveaway.
    I'm glad those poor cows are at the Ponderosa getting plenty to eat. Even if I'm sure I know where they're headed afterward. I was raised on a farm and it was always sad to see them loaded up and heading to the sale barn. I'd always get attached to at least one of them!
    Hope you're having a good week, Nezzy!

    ReplyDelete
  30. That one cow looks as if she's been tattooed! Great giveaway idea! You have a Merry Christmas as well!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks for your kind comment, I feel your warm heart. :D You sure have your way with word, you could fill a book in 10 minutes flat my friend..why don't you?! ;D

    ReplyDelete
  32. Got to love the cows! Hey, using numbers and monograming is such a big thing right now, and I know the cows wanted to make sure that they fit in!
    What a neat giveaway...You know that I want my name in the pot for sure!!

    Sweet Christmas Blessings to you and your family..
    Hugs,

  33. Social Climbing? I know a gal named "Buffy"!
    It's her real name!
    I'd love to win!

    ReplyDelete
  34. You do have a way with words and I love your stories. Thanks for visiting my blog and your nice comments!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I don't even attempt to climb social ladders, I'm afraid of heights... and falling.

    ReplyDelete
  36. You crack me up! I just love the way you talk. I get lost in all of your analogies.

    I think I'm too much of a softie to fatten up cows and know that they are going to be slaughtered.

    ReplyDelete
  37. You are so funny!! I can't believe the way you tie starving bovines with Madonna!!
    I like Vogue!👍👩😃

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi Nezzy, I see Steaks! Well I am not one to climb any social ladders at my age..I could have used a book like that 40 years ago:)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Them there bovines look like they are ready for the freezer....almost.

    They really are beautiful animals.
    I was a farm girl once upon a time. Wish I still were.

    Hope you have a very Merry Christmas my friend.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Hi Nezzy,
    Your cows are looking quite pretty!
    Looks like their loving their life at your place!
    Enter me for the give-away, i am not into social climbing but it looks like a fun read!
    When I was in high school I showed beef cows at the fair, even got to take mine to the state fair! They were quite a handful to show as I recall.
    Big Hugs,

  43. Um...Nezzy? I never climbed anything but a stepladder and that's because I'm built so close to the ground. Do you still like me? :)

  44. After I take a nap for 30 days,I'm ready for it--climbing the social ladder. I love climbing ladders which has nothing to do with the book.

    I also love your cows and I think their pretty, but I've been known to kiss cows if their friendly cause they remind me teddy bears.

  45. Love this post. We have a farm in Ireland and my father did the exact same thing - bought thin, undernourished cattle to nurture them back to health. Bruff was a local town, and my Mom always asked if he was going in search of the "scruff from Bruff." You brought back memories.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Well, thank heavens.

    I thought if I left a comment I might win a cow!

    I can definitely have a book here, but winning a cow might cause some problems.

    Giggle.

    Thanks for the smile.

    You're a gem.

  47. You make me laugh out loud every time! Thanks for being your wonderful, creative self.

  48. Bloomers in a bundle???? How funny!!!! I've always said "Panties in a wad" --but hadn't heard the bloomers one!!!! Your sayings are fabulous... Do they just pop out of your mouth --or do you have to work at it???? Bet you learned some of them from a loved one...

    I don't participate in giveaways --so please don't include me...

    Merry Christmas to YOU and YOURS.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Okay Nezzy, here I am. It is always so difficult to find a place to jump in line over here. After all the talk of cattle I swear I thought you said "If that don't sweetin' your bitter teat.." Anyway, I'm about as much of a Social Climber as Ma Kettle but would love to get in the drawing for the book. We can all do with a little status elevation.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Sounds like a great book....i love the era ! Your cow are look good fat and sassy! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!

  87. Sorry, but I just couldn't get past "a bucketful of armpits"! Where do you come up with the colorful descriptions? You'll probably keep me in stitches if I ever hang out with you in real life. =)

  96. Your hungry bovines look like they have been at the feed for quite some time. They look great! I once bought two hungry looking calves at an auction because I felt sorry for them. You know that mother thing where we think we can fix every critter? Well those poor little things died and broke my heart. Never did that again. Hubby told me later I was supposed to look for healthy critters not those so weak from the runs they could barely stand. "but they needed me"

    ReplyDelete
  97. Enjoyed reading this post!

    Thank you for coming by my blog. :)

    ReplyDelete
  98. I know there has to be a way to keep track of who belongs to who and which one is which, but I sure wish poor cows didn't have to be branded quite so much. Glad they have fattened up a bit, and are not as "skinny as an Amish phone book" anymore. Girl, how do you come up with all these sayings???? :-)

    ReplyDelete
  99. Your local idioms are hilarious. Great post.

    So, what do you fatten your cows up on? What do you put in the feed bunks here on the Ponderosa?

    ReplyDelete
  100. Hi Nezzy, I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself in Southern California where it's freezing cold and pouring rain. YOU just cheered me up and made me smile. If you could see the many layers of clothes I have on, you'd know I'm the furthest thing from a social climber or glamour girl there is!

    Sending hugs and love to you and your family. I wish you all a very merry Christmas.

  101. "Do ya feel as confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar dropped smack in the middle of a social settin'?"- as a nursing mama, I really love this sentence.

    I love to read, I can never have too many books.

  103. Love that picture. Nezzy I am always touched to see a comment from you on my blog. Blessings to you dear one.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Good luck to everyone! Do not include me in your giveaway. Why? 'Cause this hillbilly debutante already has a signed copy from Miss Mainline herself! I always get a kick outta folks that think these 'bovines' are mistreated. When my Farm Boy and I lived on the ranch we had a feedlot, along with about 2,000 Mama cows. You got used to the feedlot smell but I always had to go into town during weaning time - it got so loud and made me sad. And I used to joke that they were the 'other women' in his life. I wasn't even near the top rung on his ladder - I was more like 2001. I sure miss those days. By the way Nezzy. Sally and I will be headed your direction the last week of July. Wouldn't it be fun if you, Ruthann from Sugarpie Farmhouse and me could all get together?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Loving all of your analogies. A Brit like Alan (I'm presuming he's English)I'd have to agree with his thinner than a meat pie at Gregg's though here in Newcastle in the north east of England we'd also say thicker (Ie more stupid) than a Gregg's Sausage roll.

    Anyway, thanks for stopping by Pen and Paper, great to visit with you again, best wishes to you all and good luck with the giveaway.

  116. I bet there were a LOT of skinny bovine at the auction this year! Friends in KS and TX were telling me how many were being sold off at the auctions due to drought conditions there. Beef is gonna be high next year when there are no nice fat calves to sell off.

  124. are these keloid scars resulting from branding? Why do they have so many numbers?

  126. Awww, I can't help but feel badly about the cows being branded, even though I know it wasn't you who did it and I guess it is necessary to keep track of the cows in some way.

    Anyway, what a fun giveaway!! Consider me entered!

    BTW, I just realized I didn't e-mail you back about your "bounced e-mail". I don't think I got that last one you mentioned.
