One swallow doesn't make a summer. - Wednesday June 30, 2010




       Ahh, isn't it wonderful? I love sitting back on the palace steps, sipping on a glass of sweet tea, and watching the goings on in the kingdom. I'm really not much for the heat, but all the skin is rather nice. Which brings me to our challenges. The photo prompts haven't been doing very well lately, so we're going to give them a wee break in favor of ... lists!

       Challenge I: It's nearly summer here on the northern side of the world! June 21st is the first day and we're going to celebrate it with a list of 15 things we love about summer. These could be favorite summer memories or something as simple as sweet tea on the porch. But there's a catch. Inspired by some clever KotQ Survey respondent, and since this challenge is taking the place of a photo prompt, the requirement for this list is that it must be told entirely with pictures! So get your Google Image search on (or use your own) and show us, don't tell us, some of your favorite things about the season. Have fun!

       Challenge II: Along the same lines, this is another suggestion from someone else who responded to the KotQ Survey (and again, I wish I knew who it was so I could properly thank them!), but tell us -- what are your top 25 moments in life? You don't have to do this one in pictures, but bonus points if you do. =)

       Those who do both challenges will get pretty little stars (re: asterisks) by their names when I link to the entries (do them in separate posts so you get twice the recognition). This post will also be plugged for a whole week, so it's free advertising for your site if you're linked here. Kweeny doesn't have many credits left, so it's a last ditch effort to pick things up around here. So what are you waiting for!? Get to it!

Erised. - Thursday June 10, 2010
 
       I tell you what, every day I fight a war against that damn mirror! I still haven't quite figured out how to get this queen to look presentable. Sometimes I just wish I could be somebody else. I see a guy walking down the street, looking beautiful like it came naturally, and I wonder what it would be like to spend a day in his pants shoes. Do you ever have days like that?

       Well the first challenge for this month comes from the founder and original Kween, Jeri_Dee. A servant was unpacking the last of the boxes and found a little message from her from about a year ago that contained a suggestion for a challenge that was never used: How would you react if by some twist of fate you woke up one morning and were in someone else's life? Could be anyone -- you decide. You still have more or less the same personality and you still have your memories, but you can also pick the brain of the person whose life you now have. Would you tell anyone? What would you do? Would you try to get your old life back? Or would you permanently assume their identity? Tell us the story in whatever way you think best. Take some liberties. Be creative. And write!

@peacenow - @m_elmer_48 - can't wait to read them!

I contemplated doing this one for awhile. The problem is, I'm not even sure what I'd write. Body dysphoria has felt like an empty topic to me for awhile.
