For those of you who don’t know Baby Banz Inc. is a company that was created in 2001 in an effort to provide proper baby sunglasses to protect against harmful UVA/ UVB rays.

Baby Banz are the keystone for the expanding Baby Banz Protection Collection that includes: adjustable baby and toddler sun hats, UPF 50 swimwear and flap hats, our cool new Retro Banz and for winter, mirrored Ski Banz. Baby Banz sells its Protection Collection line nationwide in a variety of outlets including optical and specialty baby stores.

I received a promotional pair of Ski Banz to check out since winter is just around the corner and I’ve got a little one to protect.

Wondering why it is so important to protect those kiddo’s eyes?

I must say these are pretty cute on her! My first thought about baby eye protection wasn’t a good one I must admit. I mean my little one wont even stand for wearing hats so I just assumed she would lose it over eye protection.

To my surprise she wasn’t that bothered by the glasses at all! Getting them on her was the tricky part as she’s a squirmy one but once they were on she didn’t seem to care or notice them.

Speaking of enemies… I have a few more characters to add to my saga.

First there is FruityHickMan. We work together. He is a hick straight from Kentucky… He’s also a gay as they come. Being a gay hick is peculiar huh? That’s what I thought.

Then there is MasculineJessicaRabbit that I also work with. She’s an artificial redhead who is about as classy and feminine as a walrus. She’s about that big too.

Anyway, working with FruityHickMan and MasculineJessicaRabbit has been a barrel of monkeys. The odd couple has teamed up against me. My normalcy probably pisses them off and it’s obvious I intimidate them a tad.

So now the pissing contest has begin. I am sure you’ll be hearing more about these two often if I can force my ass to commit to writing about them.

One of the things that sucks about blogging is blog stalkers… If you aren’t doing an anonymous blog like this one then you know exactly what I mean.

You know those acquaintances who know you but aren’t buddy-buddy with you… Instead they seek out your online presence to keep tabs on you. Perhaps reading your blog or friending you on facebook so they can gather the latest gossip or whatever.

Specifically I am talking about TinyVindictiveGirly. She’s a little bitch for a number of reasons. Today I am pissed off because she hasn’t got an original thought in her empty little head!

After my child was born I thought webcasts would be a fun thing to add to my personal blog. I got the ball rolling on that so that I could do live broadcasts for family and friends.

Sure everyone can make a youtube vido and put it on their blog right? Live broadcasts are more real and intimate… Nobody’s blog I read had done it either. Fun!

Well now TinyVindictiveGirly is doing it too, she’s even doing it through the same company I am. Ugh! Makes me want to slap her ugly face.

They say copying is the best flattery so why am I so damn pissed? Gah!

Get your own life and your own thought/ ideas!

My idea has always been to allow my readers an anonymous venue for ranting. I know I love being able to post my own rants here without fear of repercussions from butt-hurt people. Plus rants are funny to read and there certainly are people in the blogosphere who feed off drama right?

I thought why not kill two birds with one stone? This is how my anonymous guest post ranting idea was born.

Today while I was making the blog rounds I visited sarcastic mom who also just pondered the setting up of a blog to allow readers to anonymously post on. This reminded me of what a truly great idea it is to be able to write what you want without having to censor yourself.

I have offered this right her on my blog for about a month now so why haven’t you registered and posted yet? Hm…

Maybe I need to get the word out a bit huh? So, I’ll an 80×80 add in my sidebar (see where it says “Dirty Partners”) for one month for the FIRST two bloggers who blog about this idea of mine, link here and encourage others to drop by and sign up. That should help get the word out!

Anyone is free to register on this blog. Once you register shoot me an email stating you would like to be a contributor I’ll get you hooked up so you can and post your own rants! What could be easier than that?

I really encourage you to do this, it feels great and provides great entertainment! Now you can air your own dirty laundry like contributors HospitalityHellSurvivor & DirtyLaundryDick and we can all enjoy the drama and humor. What could be better?

I am a firm believer in th idea of ranting, if you don’t you may explode so register today and also subscribe to my feed so you don’t miss a single drama filled post!
