    The 2015 InstaGrammys

    Published by Pam Kessler | 287 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 9 Comments

    The 2015 Grammy Awards have been awarded. The red carpets have been rolled up. The parties are all but over.

    But wait, there is still more to see!

    The InstaGrammys, the Grammy Award's lesser known cousin of the cell phone age, have yet to be announced, so let me do the honors!

    Wait, is that Kanye storming the stage? What is wrong with you? Get out of here!

    And the winners of the House Of Hawthornes 2015 InstaGrammys are:

    Best "I'd Better Take Cover Because The Storms A Rollin' In" Shot:

    Best Slightly Pornographic Close Up Of An Orchid:

    Best Use Of "Aren't I A Cute Dog" Face In Order To Get A Tummy Rub:

    Side note on the Grammys. I was watching the Best Rock Album and was surprised that Bryan Adams had an album in the mix. My husband and I danced to a Bryan Adams song at our wedding way back in 1993 (Everything I Do, I Do It For You) and I didn't know he had something new out.

    Husband enters the room about that time and I tell him my thoughts on Bryan Adams being nominated. Uh, it's Ryan Adams, not Bryan Adams.

    When did I get so old?

      I too thought that Bryan and Ryan were one and the same. We are not old. We are vintage 🙂 Saw that on a t-shirt!

      Made me smile. Love your InstaGrammys. The PUP wins hands down. Look at the face. Too cute. Had to chuckle about the Bryan Adams mixup. I was excited about Tony Bennett and Tom Jones at the Grammy's, not to mention Annie Lennox.

      I liked your InstaGrammy's way better than the more famous cousin! Maybe you're not old, you're just hard of hearing. hehe I drove my family nuts when I learned that song during my brief stint at piano playing. I played it from morning to night and probably drove the neighbors nuts, too.

      I hope you don't have all the pervs visiting your site. I had one post title that brought them out of the woodwork. It seems my post title was the name of a famous porn star. How was I to know?!

      Oh my, your "best..." really made me laugh out loud. Now, I'm warning you, if you don't already know this... but expect to see a weird segment of traffic to this post, due to the word "pornographic." I thought it would be funny to put XXX up in my booth in old marquee letters (which ended up selling!) and aptly titled the blog post "XXX Booth"... and yeah, you wouldn't believe the keywords people use and to get to my blog now! 😉
