It's Official: Birding Is Glamorous!
"I'd like to thank the academy and SonicWALL for this designation of Glamour/Society!"SonicWALL has sent me (and many readers) an announcement regarding a change of their original designation for this site:
The request has been reviewed and rated as: "41.Glamour/Society"
Glamour? Birdchick.com? How did they come up with that assessment? This even tops when someone from the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society said I was tasteful!
Does this mean that I have attained my goal of showing the world that you can be a birder without being a geek? I'm glad that despite the photo of me in chest waders, the photos of maggots in an eagle ear, the ugly pelican chicks, the rat guts, and quail guts that this site is STILL considered glamorous! I'm a bit baffled about the "society" part.
Is it because I kick it with celebrities like Sinbad (above)? Let's not forget that I've met Donny Osmond, Phil Donahue, and a film crew from the Colbert Report.
Maybe, it's because I like to dress up when I go to the grocery store? Like the time Maddy, Mr. Neil, and I made a stop for a last minute late night supper?
Perhaps it's my ability to accessorize with any raptor at a moments notice?
Is it the hip, travelin' lifestyle that Non Birding Bill and I have adopted?
Is it Cinnamon and her high standards? She does have a book deal...Or maybe, it is just the birds:
Yeah, I think it's the birds.

I couldn't believe it when I got an email from those folks, saying that Birdchick is "Glamour"????
I thought that I checked the wrong box or something.
You are SO off-center, Sharon. I love it.
You ROCK Glamorchick!
HI-LARIOUS!! I got the glamour & society email too. My rabbits promptly disapproved of the whole affair.
THANK YOU Birdchick - i am laughing sooooo hard - you're awesome - love the crown - you do live the glam life doncha
(and the pic of cinnamon is priceless)

LOL! A tiara, gloves, and a floor-length gown for a trip to the supermarket... That is glamour!
Sharon,
What are you doing with that squash? Are you trying to get your old classification back??
I love the gown!
Your rabbit has a book deal? Will it get paid in carrots?
Mwahahahaha
You are to clever for words I've told everyone to check out your site today.

What a funny post! You have such an awesome sense of humor! I wish I could accessorize with a raptor at a moment's notice like you can... ^_-
You are really too adorable for words! I live in Los Angeles and take yoga classes daily in West Hollywood and see glamorous people everyday but I've never seen such a lovely sight in a market as you in full gown and makeup! I saw Britney Spires in Bristol Farms (before the hair cut) buying sushi and she didn't look half as lovely as you do! Namaste Glamour Girl!
You look FABULOUS! -"I Love NY"
HAHA!
Sharon, This is exactly why your blog is at the top of my bookmarks.
I just can't thank you enough for bringing glamour to birding and I am inspired to don my own gown for tomorrow's Birding for Beginners field trip....do you think my students will get it?
Thanks,
Laura In Oregon
Whatever the reason's, I agree with "Lynne" above. You are a fabulous "GlamourCHICK". ;D
Kudos!
Um...the cheesecake shot of Cinnamon may get you back to the "porn" classification!
As far as glamour goes, everyone knows that accessorizing with feathers is glamourous...birds just do it so much more naturally than those clueless humans!
I was away over the weekend and returned to see the e-mail about "glamour and society". I immediately rushed to the blog and was not disappointed! I am always impressed by you, Birdchick, but now you are in a whole new category...literally!
OK, I feel stupid here but what am I missing? WHY were you at the store in a beautiful gown and tiara with Mr Neil?
Wow, I may need to reclassify my bookmarks folder to GLAM-BIRDING! You're the tops. And I agree with leslie on that rather sultry photo of Cinnamon... oy vey!
Whatever it is, congrats you glamourous, high-society birding chick you! You rock, in a totally classy, glamorous way!
All you need is a pair of beautiful binoculars to accessorize! Talk Swarovski into designing a Hummingbird line--beautiful and tiny, but with perfect optics.
