Collette Me Entertain You
After much deliberation, cogitation, exasperation and perspiration we've finally decided on what the 22nd Acest Thing in the World... Ever! is and... it's Collette! Woo yeah. Wait, what do you mean who?
To be fair, we're not exactly up on her career, but we are reliably informed by the lovely ladies who run CFB Goes Pop! that she is very ace indeed, and who are we to argue, given that we nicked this idea off of them in the first place. To help you get an idea of the sort of quality we're talking about here, lets have a look at a picture of her, shall we?
As we can see, she looks a lot like an eighties Britney Spears, which is quite appropriate as she essentially was an eighties Britney Spears, only more Australian, less successful and in possession of a more noticeable pro-arson stance than that of Miss Spears. She's best known down under for her hit, Ring My Bell which reached the heady heights of number 3 back in 1989, but for some reason failed to ride the wave of Oz-Popness over to the UK which brought Kylie, Jason and, ummm, Stefan landing on our shores. Maybe she's not that good at surfing, which, if true, would lead to us questioning her Antipodean credentials, so perhaps it's best not to go down that road.
The main reason for mentioning her, not that we're against giving a boost to forgotten pop stars from the Southern Hemisphere, is that by doing so we show our support for Collette Around the World Day tomorrow, and our support, along with that of all the other sites who have mentioned her, means that the aforementioned Pop ladies will be sponsoring an African child and will generally be a lot nicer and more charitable than we'd ever be, but we'll claim this as our good deed vicariously anyway. Also, as we're partly responsible for the better life this child will now be leading, we'll be able to lay claim to 2% of any future earnings the child makes, which can only be a good thing. So, Hooray for charity, Hooray for CFB Goes Pop, but most of all, hooray for Collette!
