Grasshopper New Media Presents...

Ok, before we get to the winner of last week’s poll, allow me to take this moment to get on my knees and beg you fine, fine readers to contribute to Hot Stuff by nominating even one post, even if it’s yours. Certainly that would be tacky, but I’ll take tacky, no problem.

Ok, enough groveling, on with the semi-formal announcement of the winner of last week’s Hot Stuff poll:

Can you guess?

Nah, I couldn’t either, the competition was too stiff… The winner was, in fact… Raising The 1987 Roof by Rockstar Mommy!! \m/ Rock on, RockStar Mommy!! Her post on the benefits of Pat Benatar and genuinely surrendering to the music that moves you is a lesson for all of us, parents and children alike.

…Stu waits for the applause to die down…

Ok, now that we’ve let the audience go crazy and have managed to clear the stage, Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together, make some noise for your next Hot Stuff Of The Week nominees:

Our first nominee is a blog for for craft masters and craft masters-to-be: Polka Dot Halloween Gifts. A brilliant, thorough post that provides a variety of eye-popping craft concepts. I’m intimidated, but just enough to ask my daughter to help me with them.

Stephanie posts a hilarious semi-rationale about the merits of clutter - Confessions Of A Really Bad Housekeeper. The line about the flip-flop is laugh-out-loud funny!

Got a not-so-youngster who’s starting high school? Kathy gives us some real-world tips, ten of ‘em, to help us get through the surreal experience of sending your “baby” to university.

Our final nominee is a touching reminder of to treasure our living ancestors, as Belle candidly writes about her grandmother, who recently passed. Insightful and moving, a blog entry to share with your friends and family.

Ladies and Gentlemen, there they are, your nominees for Hot Stuff Of The Week. Take your time, read them at your leisure, and after due consideration, vote for the entry of your choice:

Got a nominee for next week? Send it to Stu and, assuming it’s not an ad for anti-fungal powder, it’ll make it to one of our next polls.
