It's June 1st - you know what that means, don't you? - besides being the 152nd day of the year, the day when the world's smallest clamshell flip phone becomes available, meaning we're five days closer to the highly sought after wedding date of 06/06/06 and the release of the movie of the same name, not to mention Marilyn Monroe's birthday...

...why, it's Blogtipping Day...silly rabbit!

Ain't no tricks...it's like BlogHer friend Easton Ellsworth of Business Blogwire (home of Blogtipping) says :

WARNING TO ALL BLOGGERS: Look out for blogtippers - they know where you blog and they're comin' a-tippin' your way!

If you feel the Spirit of Blogtipping stirring your soul, join us on June 1st by sneaking up on a few blogs and offering them three compliments and one thoughtful suggestion each. (Or adapt according to your own preferences.)

Oh, I am so feeling the spirit of Blogtipping - and dressed just for the occasion in my favorite pair of faded blue jeans, Old Navy t-shirt and red high tops - I've put together a lovely ensemble of bloggers hot off the fashion and shopping blogroll.

[this is where "rolling up sleeves" would typically be inserted, but it's too darned hot here in Jersey for long sleeves, today...know what I'm sayin'?]

On with the blogtipping:

Are You A Beauty?

1 - I'm loving all the pink - girl, who does your blog? - really, your blog is soooo pretty!

2 - Oh, and about the pink purse - I WANT ONE OF THOSE!

3 - I especially enjoy reading Ivy's contributions - yes, I finally am a Shaving Queen! - and her product reviews are always well written, very informative and quite entertaining...like...the post about Herbal Essence's new line of shampoo and the one about being dissed by Stilton and the second best perfume had me LMAO!

Hey...wait a minute...YOU GET FREE SAMPLES!?!

Tip: Never rag on a company...until AFTER you get a free sample!

This is fun - isn't it - I think I need me some more cow bell...I mean...Blogtipping:

Freddy&Ma

1 - What can I say - I have a fetish for handbags - can a BlogHer have too many handbags? Conngratulations, you guys, on a successful first production run - I love how you keep your readers (and customers) well informed about what goes on behind the scenes at your place!

2 - The site is filled with plenty of pics that are very easy to load - I like that in a shopping guide!

3 - Being able to design a custom bag on your site is pretty nifty, too.

Tip: Regarding your "imaginations" category...is that you guys...or, what...who are we looking at in all those fab pics of yours? Inquiring minds (and those of us with a severe lack of imagination) want to know!!!

Phew...I am so out of my league, here - who am I kidding? - these bloggers really know their stuff. Me? I think I'll continue on with what I do best...onto more blogtipping:

Pink Shoe

1 - Did I mention that I love pink? And shoes? Put 'em together and what'ya got...a sassy litte blog with some damned good advice - like inventive ways to pass the time at work by creating your own style...in paperclips!?!

2 - Marseeah (pronounced Mar-SEE-ah) is a fun-loving girl with a great sense of style that's matched only by her fabulous sense of humor.

3 - Who definitely has a calling in life...HELLO!

Tip: Needs more pink!

It's already passed 2 in the afternoon (est) - and I'm nearly done with my new favorite salad...YES, I'M SO LOVIN' IT! - be sure to go and tip a blogger, today!
