As Minister for Arts, I would like to advise that I will be co-hosting an interesting event coming up rather soon in the calendar, one which my beloved other half dreamt up this time last year. We call it: "Karaoke Secret Santa".
Step-by-step process:
- The idea is that you join our Secret Santa website and fill out a "Wishlist" of music (eg. your favourite band, song, musical, Christmas carol, etc).
- On a specified date, the Secret Santa website will automatically assign everybody a Secret Santa recipient.
- You then go to your recipient's wishlist, check out their music wishlist, and pick a song (eg. if they said that Ben Folds was their favourite artist, you could choose any Ben Folds song you like).
- Film yourself performing this song. You can sing it, recite it, play it on the piano, fill glasses of water and bang on them, drum it, rap it, or write a three-act play around the plot of it. The important part is that you film it (just using a regular digital camera, or webcam, is fine).
- Upload this video to YouTube before Christmas Day (an official deadline will be assigned to allow for timezones), and then either you or I will advise the recipient of the video (haven't ironed out that kink yet).
Then, when we all wake up on Christmas morning, there'll be a crazy video of something we like on YouTube -- ESPECIALLY FOR US!!!!! An Internet present of goodwill and music.
What more could one really need for Christmas than that?
I would like to encourage ALL of the Pervy Councillors to join me in this event.
Yours Effervescently,
The Painted Duchess
Minister for Arts, Shiny Things and Something Else

Dear Pamela that sounds like great fun but as I cannot sing a note and am painfully camera shy will not be participating in this event I do hope you understand x x
ReplyDeleteI'll have a go :o/
ReplyDeleteI can get the BF to film me doing a full song and dance routine XD (building myself up here for an epic fail!)
I have never upoaded anything to youtube before so that will probably be the bit I need most help with XD!
SIGN ME UP!
*reads description of "Karaoke Secret Santa" ....
ReplyDelete.... grins broadly*
I am SO UP FOR THAT!
Bitsy, I am so very sorry to hear that and hope that your viewing of our Christmas videos will cure your painful shyness as you realise that anything you film could not be as embarrassing as what we've just done. LOL.
ReplyDeleteForky! Good woman, glad to hear it. I'll definitely help you out with YouTube (or the Minister for YouTube will).
Queenie! Can't wait to see yours.
