I thought it would be neat to have a retrospective of the title banners that I designed for this, throughout the life of the blog. I am pretty sure that I have included all the ones that appeared on the blog originally, and I have also added some that I had made but that didn't make the cut. Enjoy!
"The First One"
(Though now that I think about it, this might have been after I took down the Christmas one after the holiday season, because before Christmas it just said "Tranny Manny" all plain in the default Blogger layout. Bore!)
"The Mardi Gras One."
"The St. Patrick's Day One."
"The Halloween One."
(I think this is a first time shown one.)
"The 'God Save the Queen' One."
(I usually hate puns, but I liked the play on the word "queen" haha)
"Another 'God Save the Queen' One."
(That is an actual picture I found in the center of the Union Jack and Gay Pride flags flying next to each other, I didn't put those like that, haha.)
"The 'God Save the Queens' One."
"The Anti-Valentine's Day One"
(My friends and I celebrated "Anti-Valentine's Day" one year in college because we were all jaded and/or single, haha. So I thought it would be funny to attack the couples.)
"The Valentine's Day One"
(A "play-nice" version, that I would have used in the event that I was half of one of the happy couples that I was telling what they could do to themselves with the other banner. Neither Valentine's Day banner was used, Mardi Gras took precedence.)
"The Alexander McQueen In Memoriam One"
"The 'Wizard of Oz' One."
(I think what inspired this one was how at Mardi Gras I was asked if I was a "Friend of Dorothy." I was looking for a Ruby Slipper-esque platform for the background, but I went with the blue tones from the sky and used an Alexander McQueen shoe, to honor his having recently passed at the time. Along with the one above.)
"The Easter One"
(Again with the puns. I had this saved under "Easter Banny" like banner:bunny.
No? Oh well, it amused me at the time. Haha.)
"The Moving to North Carolina One"
(This obviously didn't pan out haha.)
"The Game Over One" or "The 'Lest We Forget' One"
(Danielle isn't a fan, she felt it was depressing. I said "fitting." Haha.)
Not sure if this one made it on there or not...
And remember to look back fondly at the Book Cover and Movie Poster designs, too! They were the original ideas that spawned all of the banners. Good times, good times.
Did anyone like, or even notice, (besides Crystal) how I captioned them like the titles of Friends episodes? Haha. "The One with..." etc. Again, maybe I am alone in finding that amusing. Haha.

P.S. I don't know if some of the captions somehow mysteriously made themselves links to the pictures? I think the pictures themselves are also links that if you click on them will take you to them actual size. Anyway, I couldn't control the captions becoming links, it did it by itself on like two of them, and I couldn't make it not do that...

P.P.S. Okay, so apparently the underlined captions aren't links, they are just underlined for no reason. Makes sense...

P.P.P.S. Last post script, promise haha. Dang it! I just realized that the Friends episodes are "The One with..." like I said at the end, not "The ______ One." And I thought I was being so clever. Ugh.
