Coming Soon to a Concert Near You!

In the Clay Aiken fandom, there is a small group of fans who spend their time designing and trading Clay Aiken lapel pins. They are creative and artistic and will use that creativity and bargaining skills to try to add Clay pins to their collections. Ms. Bucky loves her pin collection! No one knows for sure, but there are probably over 1500 pins out there that have been designed in the last two years in tribute to Clay Aiken. Here's some examples of great pins!

Well, Ms. Bucky loves her Clay pins! She decided to design a pin to give out while on the concert tour trail this summer. The pins are free, with one catch! You have to get your photo taken with Ms. Bucky. But, for the lucky people who spot Ms. Bucky this summer, you can add this pin to your Clay Aiken lapel pin collection!

If You Build It, They Will Come!

Ms. Bucky seems to be building a fan following.

It's interesting to note, that Ms. Bucky's blog spot is getting hits not only from around the country, but from around the world. Ah yes. I forget. She is a world traveler.

But before I ramble on, Ms. Bucky would like to reveal her favorite photo that she discovered this week.



Let's take a moment. . . sigh. . .

Ok. Now on to today's blog.

As I was saying, Ms. Bucky has had hits on this blog from around the United States, but more noteably, also from: Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Singapore, Hungary, Austrailia, Canada, Spain and China! I think she gets around more than any of us ever realized!

So, if you stop by and vist, don't be shy. Leave a comment! We would enjoy hearing from you!

I Love New York!

Ms. Bucky has anxiously been waiting for the full announcement of Clay Aiken's Summer Tour. But what is going on? Where are the dates in the mid-west? Where is the Minnesota concert? What? He's not coming to his favorite city of St. Paul! This definately presents a problem. So what is Ms. Bucky supposed to do?

I know. Ms. Bucky will go on the road and find Clay - wherever he is!

Ms. Bucky announces HER summer tour: New York!

So, in the middle of July, Ms. Bucky will set out on a one week road trip following Clay Aiken around to several concerts: Syracuse, Canandaigua and Chatuagua, New York. Seats have been reserved (don't you think such a little rabbit should be able to get in for half price?) hotels have been reserved. Ms. Bucky is happy.

Then her travel agent called today and suggested. . . on the way home, why don't you swing down to Columbus, Ohio for another concert. What's a wabbit to do? Say "yes," of course!

Ms. Bucky Attends Her First Claymate Gathering!

Saturday, April 14, 2007; Ms. Bucky (proudly announces) attend her first Claymate get together with some MNClayfans! Prior to this ocassion, she worshipped her idol from afar - her previous guardians never took her to a concert, or party event - and rarely allowed her to listen to any of Clay's CD's. But now that is a thing of the past! For those who were also in attendance, we watched proudly as Ms. Bucky lost her "clack virginity" as we introduced her to Clay's performance of Back For More at the Vermont JBT. (Yeah - you know the one-that's the one where he throws the mic stand down and tugs on his tie ferociously!)

However, Ms. Bucky was introduced to some other "habits" as well. Pictured below, PinkLady serves Ms. Bucky a glass of wine. Did anyone check on Ms. Bucky's age?

Ms. Bucky got into the spirit of things and tried to find a MNClayfans T-shirt in her size, but ended up settling for a MNClayfan pin instead.

Those cracks in her head really come in handy!

By the end of the evening, Ms. Bucky has made many new friends and was clearly head over heals in love with Clay Aiken. Or is that heels over head??

Clay in Afghanistan!

Ms. Bucky and I agree. Afghanistan is one place that she has yet to travel to. But, the object of her affection, Clay Aiken, was there in the past week as the UNICEF ambassador for education.

Hmmmmmm, the really interesting thing about these photos, is that Clay looks an awful lot like someone else we all know and love!!!

Happy Easter!

Today is Ms. Bucky's first Rabbit Holiday with us. And she got "into" the spirit of things right away this morning, looking for her Easter Basket.

Of course, Ms. Bucky showed a great deal of interest in Mark's Easter Basket!

But was really disappointed in Annie Carol's Basket! So was Annie Carol! :(

Then she participated in looking for all of Marky's eggs while he was still sleeping. And she found most of them! (That's what you get for leaving Annie Carol's Easter Basket empty. . . again!)

Ms. Bucky is really looking forward to Easter dinner with the family later today. She wishes all of you a

We're Not Getting Any Younger!

Since once again having "acquired" the long, lost Ms. Bucky, this thought has been running through my mind, over and over. It took over 7 years for my family to get Ms. Bucky back to me! And we're not getting any younger! What if one of us dies with Ms. Bucky in our possession? What then?

So, I think it's time to establish some ground rules before we continue this game.

Ms. Bucky Game Play Rules

1. Ms. Bucky must be passed back to the another player within a 5 year period of time.


2. When one or all of the players reach 60 years of age, Ms. Bucky must be passed back within a 2 year window of opportunity.

3. When one or all of the players reach 70 years of age, Ms. Bucky must be passed back within a 1 year window of opportunity. Family members would appreciate extra Depends and hearing aid batteries thrown into Ms. Bucky's carrying case.


4. If you pass away to that big carrot field in the sky, your spouse is responsible to keep Ms. Bucky in play. It is not an option to have her buried with you, as fun as that sounds!


5. Ms. Bucky shall be passed down to children of current game players.


6. If current game players have no children, representatives will be designated so Bucky Game Play can continue for generations to come! (Yes Donald and Diana, I'm "willing" my game piece to one of your children!)

7. Whoever has possession of Ms. Bucky becomes the keeper of this blog! No whinging. No excuses. Remember, you get to pass this on to your unsuspecting child!

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, that Ms. Bucky will keep
If I should die before I wake
My family I hope, Ms. Bucky they'll take!
