I have Not Been Tagged – Maybe I have.

posted by Babs on Wednesday, 13 August 2008

I was tagged, or rather Not Tagged for this meme, by Jay at thedeppeffect.

Jay tells of how she is a prim and proper, ultra-polite English lady, and that because of this, she just had to accept the meme. She left me no choice! How could I, also being a typical English lady, say no? I had to accept. My arm was well and truly twisted up my back!

Well, this is how this meme works.

If you had to select celebrities/actors to play the parts in the story of your life today (including yourself!), who would it be and why – this can be based on looks or personality.

Crikey, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be. How do you choose actresses to play the part of two fat, post menopausal ladies? Well you don’t, do you?

Sooooooo, I decided that…

Mo would be played by Bet Davis (as in, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?) because she lives constantly in PMT mode, and is often seen amongst flying debris when searching for something that she has tidied away.

I would be played by Bette Midler as she typifies my scatterbrain sense of humour and face pulling. Plus she’s a bit of a midget.

In both of the above, the wearing of padding would be required.

This movie would obviously involve a scene at one of our church outings. The church members would be played by the full cast of the ‘Carry On’ movies – maybe we’d better leave Barbara Windsor out though ;O)

This movie would be full of laughter. Betty Davis (Mo) would not be able to resist Bette Midler’s (my) contorted expressions and would, undoubtedly, collapse in a rolling, heap of laughter throughout.

The Rules:

1. List the people who would play you, and the key people in your life.
2. Give credit to the person who tagged you.
3. Link your answers to the original blog, that’s here at iRamble.
4. Tag four new people to participate.

As this is a ‘Not Tag’ meme, I hope you will forgive me if I don’t tag anyone. However, if any of you want to do it, feel free ;O)

I lied again…..I tag Drowsey Monkey!

    Tag Drowsey!

  • Babs (Beetle)

    Speedcat:
    I did think of doing that – maybe I will after all :O)

  • Drowsey Monkey

    Hey! Don’t listen to that damn speedcat, LOL!!!

    Well, I’m not English, polite or a lady … well, a lady most of the time ;) But I will do the meme because it sounds like fun and I’m too busy to write posts this week! HA!

    Of course, I can’t do it tomorrow, that’s Hump Day ;)

    Okay, so you’re household sounds really scary, just sayin’ HAHAHA!

  • Babs (Beetle)

    Drowsey:
    Whatever is this Hump day? Did you make it up?

  • Jay

    Bravo!!! Well done, my dear! I can so see you as Bette Midler – who I love, by the way – and now I can see what your friend and housemate Mo is like too! your movie will be a riot! I’d love to come and see it!

    By the way, what’s wrong with poor old Barbara Windsor? I rather like her!

    Babs – Hump Day is what the MerryCans call Wednesday. As in ‘we’re over the hump of the working week’. At least that’s what they say it means, but I can think of another meaning for hump … *sniggers like a schoolgirl*

  • Babs (Beetle)

    Jay:
    I may have used a tad of poetic license with Mo ;O) Nothing wrong with Barbara, I just thought that maybe flashing boobs was not very church like :O) – I like your ‘MerryCans’ ha ha!

  • WillThink4Wine

    I’d like to have Bette’s voice and sense of humor!

  • Babs (Beetle)

    WillThink4Wine:
    Sense of humour I can do. Voice? Not a chance!

  • Maureen

  • Babs (Beetle)

    Maureen:
    Yes, such a scream – all of them :O)

    JD:
    Well it was a choice between Bette Midler or Whoopi Goldberg. Either would be good ;O)

  • Jay

    I love Whoopi Goldberg too! Those two are real feisty women!
