Lenses Inspired By Other Lensmasters

Michelle has no doubt been a tireless worker for the benefit of others at Squidoo since minute two of her lensmastership.

Since my tenure as a Fresh Squid, Michelle has "had my back" and watched over me. Lord, I don't know how she handled me, let alone the tens of dozens of others that have passed through her guiding hands.

Her whip is legendary, but to tell you the truth; it doesn't exist. She is the best friend I've had at Squidoo and I wish her happiness always.

Holley was my selection for the Factor Y assignmet 2, Selfless Promotion, because I had been working with her in her run for the Giant as part of team WiWon.

This lens is loaded with proof of her golden heart and down to earth, well grounded ways.

Twitter can be the source of some really great inspiration as I found out one afternoon while cutting up with Michelle and Carol.

We had been playfully tossing swear words around and the conversation turned to one of children who swear. The very next day, I created this, one of my personal favorites.

This lens, another of my personal favorites, convinced of something that everyone else was trying to tell me. I AM twisted.

This frolic into the absurd was inspired by Ladymermaid's announcement in the forum that she was apparently missing a gall bladder.

Ahhhh....Julie. Everyone's favorite, and why not? She IS Freyja.

This lens was inspired by a comment I saw that was left in one of her guestbooks. Something about Squids paying homage to her. One thing led to another, and then boom! I uncovered the truth and exposed her for who she really is.

Janelle is one of the most chipper and up lensmasters at all times.

One night, we were up late horsing around on Twitter and poking fun at all the marketing tweets that were flooding across the stream. I have no Idea why, but I blurted out something about Twitter ~ The Musical, and this was born the very next day.

Margo posted a thread in the forum that stated she stumbled across a lensmaster that had 75 SquidWho lenses and not one of them had any original content. The were just Wikipedia (yuck) and whatever else the template threw in.

One thing led to another and a group of us decided to build our own celebrity lenses to counter the pure crap the other lensmaster published. Here are my two inspired contributions.

Ellen will always have a place in my heart. I have learned so much because of her generous giving of knowledge through her lenses.

Just before opening day of baseball season this year, I found out that she is a HUGE Dodgers fan. Funny thing, I was thinking about Kirk Gibson hobbling around the base paths about the same time. So, I created this lens and dedicated it to Ellen. As far as I know, she still has it in her forum signature.

What can I say? Mimi is like a sister to me. We intersect on so many paths and see ourselves in each other.

One night, I was feeling a bit less than inspired and asked for someone to give me a lens idea. This was Mimi's inspired request.
