Get out 2009! And NEVER come back! - 4HW

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ok. So here’s the deal.  December was a busy month for the Four Horsewomen.  Yes, I know, “It’s a busy month for everyone.” But it’s particularly busy for us.  It involves certain…rituals…and preparations.  Traditionally, December is a VERY important month in the Apocalypse (hint hint). I mean, first there was that whole UFO over the Kremlin incident. African pythons decided to make Florida their new home (hey – who knew African pythons were retired New Yorkers?).  Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t keep up his end of our Apocalyptic Bargain.  And let’s not forget the Annual Horsewomen Holiday Retreat. (Yes, that’s right. We’ll admit it. We slacked off on our duties to go spend a few weeks in St. Lucia.  What? You didn’t spend a week or two knocking back eggnogs with your nearest and dearest in your family hovels? We Horsewomen just have different priorities, that’s all.  And Miss Conquest LOVES her rum.)

But just because we’re complete and total slackers doesn’t mean we don’t want jump on the Best of the Decade bandwagon as we happily kick 2009 out the window (good riddance!) and make way for 2010.  After all, the Aughts were nothing if not Apocalyptic.  (The tanking economy won 500 points for Gryffindor alone.)

So check back often as we look at some of the best Apocalyptic Fashion Disasters, Apocalyptic Celebrity Couples, movies, books and songs of the decade, and tune in to find out who we name as THE Honorary Horsewomen of the decade!

Feelin' Nine-y - 4HW

Nothin' says "marketing ploy" like a day with all the same numbers.  Today may not be a Saturday like 07/07/07 (raise your hand if this is your slightly cliche wedding anniversary!), but there is CHANGE in the air.  Apocalyptic Change.  We can FEEL it.

Things to look for today: 

• Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov release Shane Acker's kick-ass looking apoca-mation "9." (Miss War already has her tickets -- look for a review coming to an apocalyptic blog near you!) 

• Rock Band releases their newest and most anticipated version of the game ever -- The Beatles: Rock Band.  (Miss Famine is planning her very FIRST Rock Band party thanks to this!)
  

• APPLE is making some huge and mysterious announcements about new products, that may or may NOT include the Beatles catalog coming to iTunes (Sir Paul McCartney says it ain't so, but we won't know until the official announcements at 10am PST).  Check back soon for Miss Conquest's run down on all the new goodies! 
  

So go out and celebrate this entirely made up holiday (nine beers maybe? nine shots of whiskey? we're not here to judge) and come back soon and often for all of the up-to-the-minute-9-news -- Apocalyptic style, of course. 

This message has been brought to you by the Number 9.
