The Male on Sunday is being held back on the Pink Heart Society blog so he can have his rightful place on a Monday. I’ll be sure to let you know when he’s up.

To compensate, I’m providing a few suits on Sunday as a follow-up to our discussion on the Love Is An Exploding Cigar blog about the romantic fantasy of men in suits. If you didn’t find one to your liking in the last batch (Abby did!), you might find one here.

Enjoy.

Oh, and Sally, here’s one for you in not the same kind of suit, but, hey, it’s a suit of sorts — and he’s definitely got what it takes.

Over at the Pink Heart blog, where I am a regular columnist, albeit a sporadic one due to the nature of scheduling, I was tapped to do a September 30th Male on Monday.

Now, Male on Monday slots are always hard to get as there are a lot of people who are very willing to do the research involved. (Are you surprised?)

But back in August, the scheduler, the wonderful Ally Blake, wrote me and asked if I would do my Hugh-in-a-towel retrospective mid-month and the “spare” Male on Monday for September 30th.

As I had a Male on Monday candidate up my sleeve anyway, I said, “Yes!”

So, I began my research, and I researched very hard indeed. I even watched a few movies which is, of course, very difficult (under deadline, I’m not kidding, it IS sometimes difficult to find the time). But I persevered because this Male on Monday is worth the effort.

Tonight, as I was finishing the piece, I thought, “Wait a minute. It’s September 28th. It’s Friday. That makes Saturday the 29th, which makes the 30th . . . Sunday.”

So, I’ve written Ally with the dilemma as I see Nicola Marsh has a Male on Monday post ready to go, too.

It may turn out that we have a surfeit of Males on Monday at The Pink Heart (Can there really be a surfeit of Male on Monday caliber men?) Or it may be that we save my guy for some other time (he’s not going to vanish, and he’ll probably only get better with age).

We’ll see. I’ll probably put up some more men in suits on Sunday by way of compensation!

Or I could write chapter three. Someone is actually paying me to do that (provided I get it done).

As the founders of The Pink Heart Society may realize, if you let people who live on the other side of the world celebrate Lil Pink’s birthday, by the time it is their day to celebrate, most of the rest of the world is more than halfway on their way to tomorrow!

So, my apologies for being “late” for so many of you who are also celebrating, but it really is only 7 in the morning here!

Anyway, the lil pink dancing guy is almost to the end of his birthday celebration. He’s been dancing all over the world since September 1st gathering up goodies to celebrate. And if you’ve been following his travels and are taking part in the GIANT HAMPER contest, you’ve almost finished your list.

Today I get to give Lil Pink his prezzie — and when I chose it I had no idea that these tickets would be quite as sought after as they are.

For his first birthday, I’m giving Lil Pink tickets to the next Green Bay Packers home game!

Where I live that’s definitely a present we’d almost all like to get (well, there are some Bears fans around, and my grandson is a Vikings fan – yikes!) but Lil Pink and I will be heading off to watch the so-far-undefeated Packers and their 17 year veteran quarterback Brett Favre!

Happy birthday, Lil Pink! Hope you enjoy the game.
