Number One In History

Cathy Dennis - 'Just Another Dream'

I used to think it was Rick Astley on backup.

Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'

First Rick Astley, now this.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted those articles about the Castle Rock kids who passed around photos on their mobile phones. Most of my hits for the last two days are for 'nude teens'. I get the feeling a good number of those aren't for the actual story itself.

So cute, in a Opie/Howdy Doody way.

Hubba hubba.

Rick Astley - 'Together Forever'

Anniversary

It was a year ago today, that I started Bon Jour, Pee Wee. Originally, it was out of boredom.

Then it was out of caching the weird, random stuff, I would find on the interwebs, that when I told people about, didn't believe me.

I finally got the format down, and realized I needed to check what a post actually looked like, before moving on.

It has been a fun year, with ups and downs, but it all paid off in the end.

I got a writing gig out of it, a minor presence in the blogosphere, and distinction as a fellow blogger's 'blog crush'.

Highlights of the year:

Josh Lucas Obsession

The Real World Denver Kids

Crack-a-licious Whitney

Trailer Park Britney, Y'all

Hubba Hubba

Cruisenfreude

The 'Break up' With Architectural Digest.

Becoming the 'go-to' place for pictures of Rick Astley.

Irking Panic At The Disco fans.

Thanks for reading kids!!
