we did something
Last month, I went on Scary Mommy’s website and saw this. You have to click to see it.
I know. The reality of life with kids can be pretty gross, right?
So, of course, since then I’ve been looking for a way to gross out my readers. (Some people have goals of inspiring their readers with beautiful, poetic prose but thankfully I do not.)
And finally, it hit me. This is the nastiest, ickiest thing I’ve seen in the last week…
Are those dreadlocks in his beard?
I just wanted to watch the Hope for Haiti telethon and take in the sweet sounds of the heavenly Justin Timberlake and then Pitt has to go throwing his super groty beard all over the place. Well, at least we all know Jennifer Aniston is definitely over him now.
Speaking of Haiti, I must thank all of you who took the time to comment on my fundraising post!! And all of you who helped spread the word on twitter and elsewhere (like Marinka, Wendi, Jessica, KazzieLB, smilinggreenmom, techsavvymama and princessmikkimo).
And MEGA thanks to my amazing corporate partners, Yogamat Boutique and Baby Star who each matched my $200 contribution. But it got even better over the weekend when I was contacted by UV Skinz, a fabulous swimshirt company, who also wanted to match the offer!!
So thank you to UV Skinz. I’m not really surprised that this company would step forward to help.
The president, Rhonda Sparks, started the company after losing her 32 year-old husband to skin cancer, leaving her to raise her 3 boys. She decided her life mission would be to raise awareness about the disease. UV Skinz produces swimshirts in tons of cool designs so kids literally don’t want to take them off. Yes, the one shown here has popsicles! Please check out their website.
So that means we raised $800 for Haiti relief!! The money will be donated to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.
As Justin sang, hallelujah!

That’s awesome Kelcey! Glad I could be a part of it!

oh yeah…what in sam tarnation is Brad Pitt thinking? I had to look away during thetelethon….
I have officially spit that eye candy out. Shave it off Brad.
[Reply]
Never thought I say it, but I think I would rather have my snotty little guy in bed with me than Brad Pitt! I hate that look on him.
Thanks, sweets, for the shout out, and $800? AMAZING! You’re the best!

Fantastic news on both the money front and the Brad front. All you have to do now is go get Brad, take him home and shave off his beard. Sorted.

Awesome work Kelc!

Ugh – you just brought back that “Justin crush” I’ve been trying to keep at bay. That song was ridiculously phenomenal. Brads gross beard was NOT going to ruin my mood that night. (yay for Jen however)

That is a nasty growth – evidently for a movie? because he hates fake beards.
[Reply]
Yeah, I’m not all that into Brad Pitt (yes, my youngest childs name is Brad – but I named him after my brother). I enjoy his movies sometimes, but he just doesn’t do it for me…now Justin on the other hand…I’d break that boy in half and enjoy putting him back together…oh, sorry – didn’t mean to sully your comments. I’ll go crawl into my corner now…

WONDERFUL!
Now on to Brad’s beard. Can we have a fundraiser for that? For him to SHAVE IT OFF. My eyes! MY EYES!
[Reply]
You rock!
[Reply]
He has six kids–maybe he doesn’t shave for the same reasons I rarely shave my legs.
I have never dressed my kids in those UV shirts but now I am going to. I am convinced they are a must. Thanks!
[Reply]
Wooohooo! Way to go Kelcey!
That beard is seriously icky.
[Reply]
“Groty” NICE!!! Hello 1988…I remeber you – let’s go cruisin’ “Yeah Venus she’s got it!” Love you ( :
[Reply]
I’m soooo glad you mentioned that horrible beard. He’d never make the cover of People’s Sexiest Man issue again with that ugly facial hair that looks like spiders and other disgusting insects could cozy up in. Oh, and great job raising funds for Haiti, too!
[Reply]
$800 – that rocks!
That Scary Mommy picture would have been even better if the boogs were bright green.
Thoughts on Brangelina – together or not?
[Reply]
How many women signed up to adopt a Haitian orphan? That would be impressive. And when is Bill and Jill making their appearance?
[Reply]
Yay $800!! YUCK to Brad Pitts goatee!
[Reply]
you may have a future in fundraising :-}
I am soooo over brad- ever since he left jen for that hussy I was done with him. and I am sure he is devastated over losing me.
[Reply]
Well done with the fund raising!
[Reply]
How is it that he is still cute, even with the mini dreads on his face?
[Reply]
1. Gross.
2. I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thinks Brad Pitt’s beard is even grosser than snotty snot.
3. YOU ROCK!!!
[Reply]
Even my husband (who notices next to nothing) gasped when he saw Brad. He thought he must be making some kind of weird Deliverance meets Mad Max kind of movie. Maybe, but I think Brad just likes to devise new ways to make himself look ridiculous. Remember that HAT phase?! Wait – he’s still in the awful hat phase!
[Reply]
That’s just funny. Eeeew.
[Reply]
I’ve already put my wager in Vegas that Brad is living in a cave by March. What a weirdo.
Wtg on the fundraising, you truly have a big heart Kelcey! I have a friend going in a couple of weeks to help out at an orphanage.
[Reply]
Well done, K.
[Reply]
Is it TOO late to tweet about your effort?? Tell me it ISN’T!!!
And Brad? YUCK, YUCK, YUCK.
[Reply]
Brad is hideous. Apparently he’s over all of the comparing him to Robert Redford.
Your fundraising is inspirational. Using our blogging powers for good! Go you!
