I considered many of the newer posters, many of whom are brilliant, charming, sensitive, and most critically -- nice to me on a recurring basis. (I can be had for the price of a cocktail, or a sweet word.)
But I finally had to go with a true board legend -- you know, Lillian Hellman in the mink coat ad. I am passing the torch for a weekend, and this legend deserves breathing room to reap the rewards of this title.
Sueleen was an early influence, teaching me life and posting lessons I didn't always apply with care and consistency (brevity, class, taste, brevity). But there's no finer, truer voice here, a telling blend of wit and wisdom, generosity of spirit, confidence, and despite some occasional cynical ruminations, an inherent optimism.
There are too few true role models here, but Sueleen remains the gold standard. Let me be the first to cheer. May the praise-singing commence ... now.

Excellent!
Sueleen, congratulations on being the Celebrity of the Weekend. (Sorry about the CoW thing. 
)
Enjoy your day, and I'll put the good stuff on ice!

Well, one thing's for sure. This thread will never be the same.
Congrats Sueleen!
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Kudos, Auggie. EXCELLENT choice.
And, again, it is always wonderful to read your posts. Thanks for your contributions to BWW. :o)

MOST excellent - I'm hoping for some serious photo-shopping!
#3733mbcotd - SUELEENGAY
Posted: 2/10/06 at 10:01amI have a question! I would like to ask Sueleen where her user name comes from.

And all this time I thought Sueleen was campaigning for me!
Ha!
Congrats!

Posted: 2/10/06 at 10:04amWhile I don't want to steal any thunder, I do believe it's a character in Altman's Nashville.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Let's throw Sueleen some HARD questions, like she threw at Namo.
Sueleen--what OTHER names have you posted under here at BWW?

Yay Sueleen. Even though you think I ignored your questions on my special day, I'm going to pay close attention on your special weekend!

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts.
And as a huge (no, I am not starting another fat-fat-fatty thread...) Sueleen fan, I couldn't be happier with the choice. I am sure that she will carry the torch with class, style, and wit. Or at least some combination of the three...

I can't believe it took THIS long for Sueleen to be the BWW Poster Child! YAY, indeed!!!!
I believe Sueleen was the first person I ever exchanged PMs with. A truly wonderful choice, Auggie. Sue may be the MOST original poster here. And whenever I get blue, I just think of Betty Hutton and life doesn't seem so bad.
A SueleenGay Weekend Lovefest. Holy Parallel Universe, Batman.
Happy Day!

Posted: 2/10/06 at 10:11amThis is my first post on the celeb threads--I think--but I had to give props to Sueleen Gay, one of my faves! She's savage, brutally honest and very funny. No wonder I like her...

Posted: 2/10/06 at 10:11amMy first question is, naturally, what's with your Betty Hutton obsession?

Posted: 2/10/06 at 10:13amExactly. Sueleen's icon collection is a cheery work of art...well, except for that really dark phase when she dipped into the well at that site with mutant photos... But we won't go *there* on her special day.

Betty Hutton, Shirley Booth...who were the others?
And who was the one with her hands at her ears, like a Hollywood version of Edvard Munch's "The Scream"?

I think this celebration deserves a special dinner out.
Anybody have a good restaurant suggestion?
How about a fine wine?

Posted: 2/10/06 at 10:16amMy WORSHIP at the altar of Miss Sueleen is well known. Happy Celebrity Day, you little country flower, you.

luvtheemcee ... since La Gay is still backstage, getting into her fright wig, and vocalizing (no doubt using some version of my name to practice a nasty Dietrich growl) I will alert you to NASHVILLE, the film from which the screen name comes.
But what's remarkable: The Board's Sueleen has now eclipsed Altman's. I take nothing from the indelible impression made by Gwen Wells, but I dare say, the name has been boldly reinvented here.
