The Debutant

It was another usual slow workday afternoon where after a heavy lunch and some R&R time, that the five of us sitting in the room started talking about blogs and the luxury or perks that one can obtain once the blog/ blogger made it big. Without saying, we were envious of the flexible 'working' hours and place, invitation to social events, and to top it all off - getting paid for it once the advertisers come knocking on your blog. Indulging ourselves in the conversation, we got too carried away and stepped into what I would like to call the 'Afternoon Day Dream' zone and started bragging about how we could also replicate the same success - more so if you're a hot chick with plenty of well photoshopped picture.

It was then too when I joined in the fun and proclaimed that I could also start a blog and make it popular if I had the right juicy and raunchy content ! :) Well, the four skeptics in the room shot me a 'i-don't-believe-in-you-all-talk-no-action' look and started saying how I was just all talk * roll eyes * The twins then asked me " So J, IF you do start a blog, what would you name your blog address .. i mean it's all about the title and address nowadays, ain't it ? " To be honest, I had no clue at all and I suspect neither of them actually had any idea as well. " Well ... I think I might call it ..... lovemewithoutmypantson ... just to attract the raunchy search hits ! ". The whole room burst into laughter and The Twins fueled by more excitement, challenged me to actually start a blog with that title.

Of course I'm not dumb - I doubt such a name would bring me anywhere in the blogsphere! In fact, I counter challenged The Twins and told them that such a blog would only come into existence if they were game enough to come up with an equally 'inappropriate' blog title - to which then, we can become associated blogs :) Two days on, and I was asked when the blog project would take off and was given the 'all-talk-no-action' remark again.

So, yes people - The Debutant of this blog is actually a per se response to the challenge; only this time it is getting a more age appropriate name and the content driven by The Team (ya'll know who you are). Why this name you may ask ? Well, all I can say is fabulousity runs in The Team wherever we are and I use the word loosely ... Hahaha. So, the more pressing question now that I have made my move and proved my critics wrong is - will the The Team follow suit ?
