my peeps


As the weather warms up and Easter approaches, it can only mean one thing.  The Washington Post Peep Diorama Contest is underway, and I can't wait to see what people have come up with this year!  Andrew and I have thought about coming up with our own diorama and one of these years we might just actually do it.  We sat and brainstormed ideas for themes taken from the headlines of the past year...
  • Snowpocolypse 2010
  • Tiger Woods Sex Scandal
  • Michael Jackson Drug Overdose
  • Mark Sanford's Argentine Mistress
  • Michaele and Tareq Salahi White House Crashers
  • Representative Joe Wilson's outburst during the joint session of Congress
  • David Letterman's Affair and Blackmail Drama
  • Kanye West dissing Taylor Swift
So many scandals to choose from, so little time....

Here is a slideshow of some of the past winners, and there are more here.  My favorites include..

Say Anything scene with John Cusack and his boom box and No More Wire Hangers from Mommie Dearest ....  Brilliant!

And the best ever  "Peep Set Me Up!" infamous hotel room bust of Marion Barry!


Maybe next year we'll have our own diorama to submit.  Perhaps I should go out and stock up on Peeps after Easter so they're nice and stale by then...
