Photo Finish BTA!

They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. Well welcome to Stanley Park where Jen hit up Harry Winston and got all blinged out like Sandra Bullock at the Oscars for her trip through BC. Okay, that is a lie, but this IS Harry Winston (Jerome) that she's BTA'ing and they really do look like besties with their in sync-itude.
Well done Jen! Right down to the shadow. Well played my friend. I really wish you were wearing short shorts and a 70s runner's tank though. If I'm being honest here, and I am, I wish you had a flat top hairdo.
Harry Winston Jerome was BC's athlete of the century, a record-setting man as fast as lightning. But try as you might Harry, you're now cast in bronze and not going anywhere. Sucka.
In the shadow, don't they look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in Twins?
But I digress. Back to Jen. You make this look easy. 9.5/10!
And as for the photo finish, I think you had this one by a nose.

BTA Perfection

You know, there comes a time in every BTA-er's life when you find your perfect BTA (similar to when Joey found his hand twin). This moment has arrived for Miragh.

I think now is about the time the world joins together in perfect harmony and rejoices over Miragh completing one of the Major Milestones in her life -- finding her Perfect BTA. In case you are keeping track, this milestone falls slightly behind finding the Best Poutine in the World and is miles ahead of getting married. (We all know how overrated that milestone is.)

Enjoy your moment Miragh, there may never be another one like it.

11/10 -- as if I even needed to post a score.

Mexico Magic!

Bienvenida to Central America, a BTA first! Who doesn't love all things Mexican? I love tacos, guacamole, salsa, rrrhum punch, and con quesa nacho 'cheese'. So far I see nothing but good things coming from this country. Let's see if Amy & Jenny can keep up the country's good rep...

Success!! This pic is pretty great! I appreciate the vacation BTAing, and the air of givin'er in what looks like the middle of a busy street. I don't know what exactly this statue is all about, but I also don't really give a hoot, unless it's the godess of guac or some such thing. Maybe it's a pizza head, who can say? I think the girls really captured it, and putting the two of them side by side really works for the gerth of this statue. 8.5/10!
Next Amy takes a solo gig and gets gumby-like inside another street sculpture.

My initial thought is that Amy might be breaking the rules by interacting with the art, BUT I think she gets a get out of jail free card, because she really is being the art, and just happens to be posing inside of it. I like it muy much!! How did you climb up there? I don't know what this sculpture is either, but on first impression I think it's a duck. Or a shoe horn. Either way, I say that earns you a solid 8/10. I might have gone higher but the contraversy over rule breaking or not might debase my esteem as a BTA judge.
I'd say Mexico put in a good showing here, so its rep sticks. However, in writing this, I did come up with one Mexican thing that I hate. Mexican wrestling masks. The. Worst. Now please excuse me while I eat my feelings out of a nacho filled sombrero.

Obrigada, Portugal!

It’s a well documented fact that team BTA is a fan of the drink.

In fact, it’s also a well documented fact that there is no better way to BE art then when you are intoxicated.

With these things in mind, you can imagine our delight when this photo of Ana in Albufeira, Portugal came our way.

A BTA rookie, Ana went straight for our favourite subject matter and really nailed the spirit of BTA. She looks like an idiot... in the best possible way. Okay, let the record show that I’m a poet and I don’t know it.

Back to Ana.

This picture cracks me up. Sure, I’d like to be able to see her eyes to know if she really got the FACE right, but honestly, for a first-timer, I really dig what she’s doing. 8/10 & Cheers!!
