(why yes! That *is* me JUMPING for joy in my Fila resistance shorts!)
Thanks to your votes Im officially the People’s Choice winner of the Fila Toning Real Women model casting call.
Im honored, grateful & blogging entirely snark-free to mark the occasion.
No sarcastic asides deleted to pretend I didnt say them.
No (parenthetical jabs at various & sundry stuffs).
Todays post is only a pure, simple, & heartfelt thank you.
well.
kind of.
(cue awkward segue to where I commence nagging you female-types to Fila-join me)
You see, the good news is Ive been chosen and yet there’s still time for you to join me (seriously. how.fun.would.that.be?!)!
And, before you wave me off and say: Oh I simply could NOT ever do that! let me remind you Ive been blogging/ blog-reading long enough to know precisely how BADASS all of you women are.
The time for you to toot your collective-horns is upon us & you have two choices for yer tooting method (the 3rd choice. the not entering to join me choice. not an option.):
- You can film a one minute video (that’s what I did. Im a lover of the medium of video).
- You can email Fila (filaBTScastingcall@gmail.com) a photo & 400 word essay explaining why you should be one of the next “REAL WOMEN of Fila Toning.”
Submission ends at midnight April 8th & with a live announcement of winners April 11th (where? when? how many? this misfit is not yet sure. I shall do some recon. & report back).
Again, before I wrap up my nag this Fila-tastic post, I want to thank you for supporting me.
It takes a village for everything in my life and I APPRECIATE you being my virtual villagers.

This is such a cool partnership and the best part is that, as usual, you have remained humble.
You are my role-model in more ways than fitness.
