« LIVE REVIEW: Mark Knopfler | Main | Political Throwdown: John Rich vs. Ludacris »
Need something to pep up your Thursday? How about the George Michael Paper Doll, which comes complete with cop's hat, alternate Wham! hair and Andrew Ridgeley's broken heart. You can buy a St. Pete Times, grab the scissors and cut him out old school. Or you can click HERE for hours of delightful procrastination. (Thanks, Lee!)
Early prediction? The hate mail is gonna be fierce.
 Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours. |

Sean, I'll make up for the hate mail with my love mail. Which probably goes straight to your spam folder due to its volume.

Nice rainbow boxer briefs! I had him pegged for a bikini man, myself. But I can't get him fully dressed. Sheesh!

Man, I was hoping for the Dayglo gloves.

I second Marissa's love for the awesome rainbow underthings. Did the interview pan out, or was GM frightened off by your stunning masculinity?

Good one,Sherrie. Wish I'd thought of that. ha!
I try to insult Sean, but I keep fluffing his ego instead.

As a guy, I find this very creepy.

The rainbow nut huggers are the best. Where's the Daly version -- with metallic blue-funyon dusted-7 button dress shirt; extra brow sweat; wind-blown hair piece and red bull add-ons? Of course the nut huggers would have to be replaced with a banana hammock! The girls would go crazy...the guys would barf.

Love the undergarments too! The clothes may not make the man, but they sure do make the doll!
No offense to Marissa, but I had a good chuckle when I saw the roll of t.p. :-)
In honor of the George doll, I'm going to listen to "Freedom" about 15 times in a row while I go work out. Seriously. That's a dangerous song for me. I can't listen to it just once. And I can't sit still when I hear it. Then I can't stop singing it for hours afterwards. Does it have that effect on anyone else?

SM, FREEDOM is one of my all time faves. Can't get enough of it after all these years.
No offense taken to the toity paper. I know GM has his flaws, but my God can that boy sing!!
Posted by: Marissa | July 31, 2008 at 09:26 PM
Aah.. thank you for the affirmation Marissa. (My God, I'm turning into Stuart Smalley!) I get totally hooked on that song every time I hear it.
I remember being at a party where everyone was standing around, talking, laughing, drinking beers and then Freedom came on... Everyone just spontaneously started dancing and singing along. It was one of the best party moments ever! I know. Sounds corny as hell, but it was great.
He is definitely gifted with a golden voice. I almost said golden pipes, but I knew where that would lead.

THIS IS THE BEST BLOG EVER! You & your team should win THE GOLDEN BLOG STATUE for this one. (Is there such a thing as Golden Blog Awards?)

I know this was probably not REALLY supposed to be cut out and played with, but I gotta tell ya: it's providing hours of hilarious entertainment! Thank you!

Au contraire, Monika. I'll be bummed if I don't see a bunch of Paper Georges at tomorrow night's show.
