Okay... enough is enough... I certainly don't mind racing... but hey this had has to go... you know I have done a lot of silly and funny things... but this is really below me... it has a TURQUOISE BOW... and pink flowers... and then the under bow is also turquoise with ORANGE POLKA DOTS.... come on ladies ... you can't really expect me to race wearing this silly hat can you??? All my friends (the ones you see in the background) have totally shunned me... they refuse to say that they know me... or even that I am a flamingo??? I guess maybe I am something else now... who knows... but enough is enough... HELP... please don't make me race with this hat on...

Oh no!!! Shunned? Really? C'mere, sit down next to me, you silly flamingo! Gimme that hat too, so's you can see to eat your delicious pineapple sorbet that Sabrina is bringing. You wild thing! Where'd you git a hat like that? Kentucky Derby, you say? Oh....
Beautiful job Bonnie! Hugs...

This flamingo will surely fit it at the races - have you seen some of those hats? This card is so cute - I love the direction you went in. Great job.

Ha! Ha! This race is cake my dearest Tony! Don't you worry bout me racin' your steed. I know how important this win is to you so that you can prove yourself to that short stack of jockeys that beat you up!
Here, come here! Look over there, look at the latest entry to the race. Can you believe that hat? She might be fast (I heard those flamingo types were) but she is a head case! And what's on that head is going to keep her mind outa the race! Well, if she is fast, I can knock her over, look at those scrawny legs!
Do we get the big check in the winners circle or will they mail it! I hope we get it right away, I wanna get a new outfit and maybe some face lift! I am sick of people telling me I look like you!
Bonnie, what an imagination you have! I think this might be an Acardame Award nomination! Snort! Love it!

This is so cute, we may see 42,000 look alikes before long! Are the flamingos going to race? Here in AZ they have ostrich races, but I have not heard of flamingos joining in...
I like the way you created a muted look to the bg.

Another great card with another great story...the stories keep getting better and better...I should be getting off this computer and do some "HOUSEWORK" (I know bad word) but I'm having too much fun reading the TUESDAY TEAPOT stories...

Hey, Bonnie! Me and Bertie want one of them thar purty bows for our hat today. Kin ya bring one in chocolate fer us? What a stitch you are fer bringin' yer racin' flamingo. I bet she'll keep all the steeds on their shoe-clad hooves today, huh? I agree with da Mudder that this should be an Acardame Award nomination! So funny and cute!

You are amongst great friends here and we love your hat.. Besides it is the Derby and hats like this are all the rage going for hundreds of dollars.. You could probably sell it when you get there.. Great job.
