Award Season Has Come AND Gone…

Posted by the fisherbabe, under Uncategorized

and I don’t know how many of you like to watch the Oscars, but I DO!!! I mean…if I could…I would dress up in my ball gown and get my hair “did” just to sit there and pretend like I am someone super special in Hollywood

You know me…anything for a dress up night!!!

and now, sadly, The Golden Globes, The Oscars, The Grammy’s, and all the best shows have passed us by. BUT all is not lost…

I would like to announce and introduce a brand new awards show that I think will pretty much kick the asses of all other award shows produced at this time. Are you READY????? …

INTRODUCING THE FIRST ANNUAL LIZZY AWARDS!

OK so it’s not reeeeeeeallly a “show” per se…BUT unlike the Oscars or the Golden Globes, I couldn’t care less about those big Hollywood names with their pretty dresses and their big hair. The Lizzy Awards are all about comfort, quality, and FUN!!! The winners will be voted on and decided by YOU!!!!

But there is another side…YOU must nominate your favorite people, products, and places in each category so we will all have something to vote for!!! Annnnnd…the categories are:

Gear Categories:

1. Best All Around Rod

2. Best All Around Reel

3. Best Fly Rod

4. Best Fly Reel

5. Best All Around Lure/Bait

6. Best Species Specific Lure/Bait

7. Best Fly

8. Best Tacklebox/bag

9. Best Line (any test/any type)

10. Best In Show (any other product that you think deserves a mention)

Other Categories:

11. Best All Around Fishing Magazine

12. Best Species Specific Magazine

13. Best Fishing TV Show

14. Best Hunting TV Show

15. Best Fishing Blog

16. Best Hunting Blog

17. Best All Around Outdoor Blog

18. Best Fishing Show Host

19. Best Outdoor Store

and last but not least (and the equivalent to the BEST ACTRESS/ACTOR):

20. Best Fish (the species most sought after)

So…those are the categories. To nominate a product, person, or place for a category simply leave me a comment and give me the details. You can also email me your nominations at fisherbabestaff@fisherbabe.com

The winners of a LIZZY AWARD will receive the equivalent of an “Internet Oscar”…a LIZZY badge to put on their website because I mean…this is IMPORTANT stuff!!! LOL

From what I am hearing from all the popular gossip magazines, EVERYONE is in a frenzy to get a Lizzy…LOL

So get to nominating!! Obviously, not all the greatest products will be nominated or mentioned so please don’t get your panties in a wad if your favorite doesn’t make the list. I mean…you can remedy that of course by taking a few minutes to comment

But regardless…again…it’s all just SUPER FUN!!!

Get to Nominating FOLKS. You have until Monday (one week from yesterday) to nominate as much stuff as you want. You can nominate as many products in one category as you wish. Then, starting on Monday you will find a new (or some new) polls on my blog each day and it’s that EASY!!! Then, in May, I will announce the winners of the LIZZY awards as chosen by you!!!! To nominate a product, place, or thing, you can just leave a comment right here OR you can send your nominations to my email at fisherbabestaff@fisherbabe.com!!

Here’s hoping you all come out to play!!!

Happy Nominating ~

The Steripen…A Love Story

Posted by the fisherbabe, under Uncategorized

Today I was trolling around on my twitter account and…I will admit it…I was having some major fun bullsh**ing with my twitter buddies. I do have some lovely buds on that little site. Anyways, I looked up and realized that I had a new follower. SOOOO, I, of course, clicked on my little followers tab and found the name @Steripen listed as my new follower. It sounded kinda cool so I clicked on thier name, and it took me to the website.

OH MY GOSH…LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!!! I am seriously having an internet love affair with this gadget and it’s devoted website. All the anglers out there that share my love of rustic/outpost fishing will understand this love affair completely. Most of the time, by the end of the week, all I can think of is HOW MANY MORE POTS OF WATER WILL I HAVE TO BOIL…and, of course, the ever present IF I DRINK THIS WATER RIGHT NOW WITHOUT BOILING IT, WILL I REALLY DIE…LOL

The Steripen fixes all that crap you used to have to do to get clean drinking water. PLUS…it is SOOOOO sleek and small!!! I tell you…I AM IN LOVE and I haven’t even met it yet!!!

The website gives the following information:

“SteriPEN products have been tested by the Water Quality Association (WQA) against the US EPA Microbiological Water Purifier Standard. SteriPEN has received the WQA’s Gold Seal, certifying that SteriPEN purifies water safely and effectively.”

Here is what this gadget looks like…

Isn’t it handsome!! Look at the sleek and compact design of this awesome little life saver!!! I am just adoring this…and I will be interested to see how it works.

In Honor Of Jessica Simpson…

and her little act of bravery of posing SANS MAKEUP AND RETOUCHING in this month’s Marie Claire, I am posting a picture of myself au naturel.

Come on ladies!! Be confident in yourselves and know that you are beautiful just the way you are…fish guts under your nails and all!! LOL

It really isn’t convenient to wear makeup on the lake, but I want to know what you all think!!! What is your opinion of wearing makeup while fishing? Ladies, do you smear it on before hitting the water? Guys, what do you think of all this?? And please, tell me what you think of calling the act of going au naturel BRAVE??? How does this all fit into the outdoors?

And LADIES…if you are super confident in yourself and you wanna post a photo of your beautiful self au naturel, please do!!!! Here at “From The Fisherbabe” we love you just the way you are!!!!

Happy Fishing ~
