(Don’t Fear) The Rockin’ Girl Blogger
by Leslie
My best new blogging buddy Jenn has given me something: The Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award. See my button?
It’s freaking awesome, people. Especially because it came from Jenn, a wonderfully gifted writer and one of the coolest kids that comes to play here. Words cannot begin to describe how I feel about Jenn, so I drew a picture:
You rock, Jenn!
Now, I get to pass the award on, but to whom?
I had decided to go and rock out to some Guitar Hero, because rocking out is what I do, and think about who I should name as the next batch of Rockin’ Girl Bloggers. I asked myself, “What is the rocking-est thing ever? An Air Band! Yeah! Okay, so if I were to form a Virtual Air Band of Bloggers, who would I have in the line-up?” And so, my five choices for the Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award were made.
So now, let me introduce you to Buck’s Rockin’ Girl Blogger Virtual Air Band!
On drums…Amanda from the Mom Blog. I owe a lot to this girlie. She was a big inspiration and driving force for the launch of my blog, whether she knew it or not. In the beginning, this blog was meant to serve as a supporting feature to My Mommy’s Place and I used Amanda’s blog (which is a resource for her many other sites) as a model. She’s truly brilliant. I mean, she’s got an MBA. And she could probably double as our band manager.
On keyboard…Suzanne from The World According To Suz. Can you say, “Love at first sight?” Yeah. Suzanne hasn’t been blogging long, but damn, she’s good at it. And I know we’d make an awesome synth duo, like Soft Cell or OMD or The Eurythmics, you know, if the rest of the band flakes.
On bass…Lissa from Mommy The Maid. This chick is, hands down, the most consistent blogger I’ve ever encountered. She’s the only one I know that can write a Pay Per Post entry that I actually read. And she bit me with the video blogging bug. She’s got that quiet cool, but don’t screw with me or I’ll kick your ass kind of thing going on. And we need an ass-kicker in the band.
On guitar…Karly from Wiping Up Snot. I could easily rename my blog “My Mommy’s Place: Where I Sing The Praises of Karly. At least once a week.” I’m always linking up to Karly for every darn thing under the sun because I love her. Honestly. I send her ‘I love you’ e-mails and comments all the time. Ask her. Anyway…Think Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins. That’s totally our Air Band vibe.
On cowbell…Kelley from Rain On My Tirade. Why? Because I need MORE COWBELL! Kelley has a knack for pointing out the ridiculous and finding the funny in everyday things. She hasn’t posted in a while, but I encourage you to click over and take a look at her archives - they are worth it. Kelley’s blog has been the longest-running crush on my blogroll. Read this post and you’ll understand why. She’s not just smart and witty and fabulous, she has heart and passion and amazing talent.
Congratulations, Rockin’ Girl Bloggers! Be sure to slap that sexy little button on your blog, so every time you see it, you’ll remember that I think you rock. Hard. (Rock hard. Ha!) Then, keep that love flowin’ and pass it on. Or not. It’s really up to you. I don’t want to tell you what to do or anything. I’m just, like, hey it’s there for you if you want it and if not, I’m cool.
If you weren’t selected for Buck’s Rockin’ Girl Blogger Virtual Air Band and you’d like to join, just upload a video showing off your Air Band skills, send me the link and I’ll see what I can do.
Peace Out.

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
Ah, Buck… I HEART U2! (and I heart you too)
That was awful darn sweet of you to say. May I please be a roadie to the air band (it’s okay I am really strong and can totally carry a lot of air. Plus I could get one of those weight lifting belts for the really heavy air stuff, and that would make me look totally ROCKIN’)
I can’t wait to read these rockin’ girls you recommend. Each and every one.
This was a great post!
Thank you so much! What an awesome award! It is really funny cause I spent a brief moment in time learning all the Misfits song on the bass. I still know a few of them, but I play left handed so it’s hard to show off. I can play a pretty bad ass air bass though
I am a pretty good ass kicker too. 
I have no forking idea who those people you mentioned with me are! The only Nigel I can think of is the dude from So You Think You Can Dance and surely you don’t mean him?? Thanks for letting me join the band, though! I’ve never played guitar before, so you might wanna cover your ears or something.
Also, I love that you did video blogs because whenever I read your posts now I can totally hear your voice and the way you say the words. Its kind of weird, but its totally cool.
I heart you, Leslie. I am SO STOKED to be in a band! I’ve always wanted to be, but I lack, you know, actual music skillz. Air keybaords, I can do. w00t!
By the by (and I am totally serious about this), I am, like, second cousins twice removed to all of the sibling band members of The Jets (y’know, the 80’s band). It was my dream, when I was 12, that they would call me up one day and invite me to join the Jets so I could rock out on my flute.
Dead. Serious.
But since that never happened, rockin out with your air band will be my new rockstar dream.
Your air band ROCKS!
Congrats, Rockin’ Girl! And that’s such a nice drawing. Do you tell each other secrets too?
Congrats on the award!!! You are totally rockin’ so you deserve it.
I perused the blogs you awarded the badge to, they’re great! I loved them and ended up spending quite a while reading each one.
I do miss Kelly’s blogging, I often think about her and wonder how she’s doing.
Oh! Thank You! Thank You!
You should be getting a package in the mail from me BTW!
I made the Rockin’ Girl Air Band?! And I get to rock out on the coveted cowbell?! You have no idea how much that made my day!
I am really, seriously going to put up a post one of these days, hopefully before I’m eligible for an AARP card. The amazing, inspiring advice you shared with me about blogging deserves a post, but every time I sit down to write I find myself jamming down the backspace key in frustration. I’m so out of practice!
You’re the best blogging buddy (and virtual bandmate!) a girl could wish for! Thanks for remembering me.
