It's a Mr. Metropolitan Lovefest!

Greetings Zwinksters! Hope this post finds each of you well. Let me begin by saying that contrary to what you may have heard from the well-intentioned and trustworthy Ms. Information, your good friend Mr. Metropolitan never had any intention of retiring or leaving Zwinktopia.

Sure, I was a bit surprised to see that a majority of zwINK readers seemed to prefer the advice offered by my colleague, Miss Thang, during the recent advice-off. Quite frankly, the one-sided results knocked me off my game a little - and I needed time away from the blog to reflect and think about things. Some folks thought I'd left Zwinktopia permanently when I didn't show up at the office, or was too upset to even get out of bed. Others speculated that maybe I was lost at sea again. The truth was I just needed some time to get my head together...because as all of you know, I not only believe I'm the best - I actually do know it. But sometimes it's just hard to convince people out there of that unassailable fact....

Spooky! The Boo-Tique and Fear Factory
