Rockin' the Internet, Just Like Michael Jackson Did

I have two crazed displays of uber rock dorkfest for you today.

First, believe it or not, here is my husband starring in a parody of the brilliant Will It Blend marketing campaign to promote a health risk survey. Please view, laugh, taunt, and forward to 6 million people so we can make this thing as viral as humanly possible.



Next, I have something even scarier.

Me.

Singing.


Luckily (for you) I talked the lovely Sizzle into singing with me. We both adore "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and decided we should pour our gooey Christmas love all over the Internets for Neil's Holiday Blogger Concert. I even made an album cover for us.



Go over to Neil's and check us out. We alternate lines in the song...
See if you can guess who is who.


And be kind about it. I seriously cannot believe I did this. Bryan, making a video, on YouTube, dressed up like a dorky engineer? That I can believe.

But... ME, singing, on the Internet? Hell has most certainly frozen over.

I am still amazed you put yourself out there singing a really hard song accapella. I mean Jingle Bells would have been the safe choice.

Brava ladies! BRAVA!!

wow! finally once when someone isn't accusing ME of having the biggest mouth. ha! ;) it was fun to do. someday if we meet we'll have to a live duet since the phone quality really diminishes our voices. hee hee.

LOVED BOTH! Amazing! How can so much joy and talent be in one blog? Whoot Whoot!

LOL... and by the way, Melissa is wrong on her guess. Sizzle is a bit louder in her singing. Because I was pooping my pants basically.

so, to rephrase the question - who sings first and who is second?

LMAO, yes, and we alternate from there.

Hopefully we were at least 1/2 as good as Hannah Montana.

aimee! You guys were both wonderful... :) And I just realized we do the same thing for a living and we both live in Denver. I was looking at your photos in your Etsy store and they are AWESOME. I aspire to take pictures that good... What setup do you use?

Erin, thanks much, and SMALL WORLD!

I have 2 cameras now with various lenses, but mainly I have shot with a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I just recently acquired a Canon 40D but I am still trying to get the hang of it.

Good for you!

By the way, is your post title a reference to a Ben Folds song?

Alejna, you are the first to get it! ;)

Bryan, if you had taken the wrapper off the burger I'd have drank that smoothie.
