OH, Iiiiiiii see how it is. I’m gonna have to take this game up a notch. Going to get my Italian flag to hang behind me during the competition. Yuh huh.
I love all of you Looking Glass Gals, but my money is on the Queen of Shenanigans! Go Jen – rock the bubbles! (and it helps that we have the same name ).
I was feeling pretty proud of myself after reading the first part of your comment, then I came to “Big League Chew.” Son of A b$%&*. I can’t BELIEVE I forgot about that. Is it too late to switch brands?
So funny! I found you through mymommymanual. Great project!
My daughters actually had a bubble-blowing contest earlier today. The regular flavor bubblicious made MUCH bigger bubbles than the exotic flavored kinds. (I’m a dentyne fan myself) I didn’t get the exercise on video but I DO know that you need lots of ice cubes and even more patience to get bubblegum out of hair.
While I love being the underdog, but rest assured under this salon blondness, bacon burning, scatter brain is THE heart of a champion. The podium has one coveted spot and I call it. My training starts NOW.
so we get points for flair…right?!?! cool. cause it's NOT all about size ladies. (OK. i went there. tehehehe.)
I say John_DB or @DannyBrown puts us through some sort of sobriety tests or something before the contest. Touch your nose with your eyes closed, walk a strraight line…that sort of thing… 'cause sipping the bubbley before the contest might ignite one of our super powers and give an unfair advantage
ps: Yes, my kid's pet python is STILL loose in our home. Wanna come over and play?!?! Leigh said she'd bring a lasso… ZenMommy
Sobriety tests should be in the form of tongue twisters. This has two chief benefits:
1.) We identify possible artificial perfomance enhancers. I have no idea what those would be, but I imagine they’re insidious without the proper application of tongue twisters.
2.) Excellent warmup technique. After she’s sold seashells until the beach has been pretty much ecologically devastated, I’d expect bubbles big enough to be harmful to local aviation.
“After she’s sold seashells until the beach has been pretty much ecologically devastated, I’d expect bubbles big enough to be harmful to local aviation.”
Forget bubble contests, you’ve just won the witty comments contest with that one, smarty pants.
Love it! Great contest. I will be tuning in to the bubblehead challenage! Maybe for the next challenge holding breath underwater in a lake! This way we get to go to the lake afterall you gals are the only clubhouse with lakefront property right?
No one else has posted the results here. Even though I was only a guest, I have the advantage of being able to give a fair commentary–with no prior alliances with any of the competitors.
Leigh blew the competition away, but I still can’t believe she only used one piece for a huge one that filled the whole screen. I’m not joking…it was twice the size of her head!
Morgan was a major contender, as almost all of her bubbles were as big as her head, but unlike Leigh, she could only puff out one breath per bubble.
Sexy (didn’t get her full screen name) should be the multitasking champion as she could talk, text, and blow bubbles at the same time. A few of her bubbles showed promise, but sadly never reached their full potential.
ZenMommy blew respectable bubbles but I wonder what the child who gets that pair of donated glasses will think all that green stuff is…
And Jen. I’m sure she would have placed if she had chewed her gum earlier but by the time the gum was pliable enough to do it’s work, the contest was over.
Otherwise, it was a perfect way to waste a lunch hour and I hope to see more funny competitions in the future.
Aaron, as it was mostly a blur of chomping and such for the girls and me, I thank you wholeheartedly for both attending and rehashing the event in great detail. I have to concur with your assessments.
Just got some Hubba Bubba…..chewing chewing chewing…game on….these cheeks will AMAZE you
I love love love this clubhouse!! Love the showdowns too!! Headstands….bring it;)
Love you ladies!

RoamtoRome I love you for having my back on this one! (Don’t tell her witch flag is the Italian one).
And @MissIve, just a little Italian idiom I remembered just for you:
“Dalle stelle alle stalle” In english: “[To go] from the stars to the [horse] stalls” – in other words, to fall from grace.
Yep, get ready to hand over that Bubblehead Tiara. I’m gonna be the new champion of the Club house!
In Bocca al Lupo, folks!

I can’t decide you guys!!!

Clearly, its ON.
Anyone for a side wager on who ends up with the most gum on their face?
[Reply]
Oh, and has anyone thought about mandatory doping tests? Competitive bubble-blowing is a cutthroat world.

Helllloooo Looking Glass friends!
Let the Bubblehead Smackdown commence!
While I love being the underdog, but rest assured under this salon blondness, bacon burning, scatter brain is THE heart of a champion. The podium has one coveted spot and I call it. My training starts NOW.
Lookout ladies!

Regardless of the result, I think handstands should be in order for next week. It will be in skirts, right??

Skirts are for sissies. We wear kilts.

Hubba hubba! Go for it ladies!

@ ZenMommy, python is still in the house? Wish you lived closer so we could have a “wrangle the python” vid for the clubhouse.
@queenlibby aiming for no gum in the hair…
@ John DB. wow. not even sure what you said, but we love having you, smarty man, in the clubhouse!
@ Danny: Will Danny Boy be wearing a skirt? Not sure I can handle that in addition to the precious accent. I am willing to try
@ Jen but skirts are standard issue for climbing trees.
I’m in (tennis skirts count, right?)
