A lot of you entered the belly button competition that I launched a few weeks back. Thank you for your participation. Belly buttons or navels are customarily overlooked as if they were of little consequence but every belly button is a physical reminder of our pre-birth connections with our mothers. It is of course the site where the knot is tied after separation.
Belly buttons can be beautiful or ugly. In some cultures - notably Turkey - belly dancing focuses all eyes upon the centre of the belly - the navel.
From the hundreds of images received at Yorkshire Pudding HQ, the expert belly button judges have picked the following seven for adulation - in reverse order...
7. "Derek" - the squinting navel of John Gray, Wales...
6. "Paddy" - the happy navel of Dave Northsider, County Cork, Ireland...
5. "Tibby" - the tattooed navel of Bruce Taylor, Arizona, USA...
4. "Humpty" - the bulging belly button of a certain Canadian blogger who understandably wishes to remain anonymous...
3. "Juanita" - the elegant talking navel of Ms Mary Moon in northern Florida...
2. "Chardonnay" - the bejewelled navel of JayCee Manx on The Isle of Man...
1. "Clementine" - the perfect belly button of Ellen D - retired, grandmother and supportive blog visitor residing in Illinois USA...
Ellen wins a year's pass to "Belly Up" - the top professional belly button cleaning salon in Springfield, Illinois where the world famous Simpson family dwell. Indeed, Homer is a "Belly Up" client.
In time for Christmas, the other six commended entrants will receive a complimentary personal belly button cleaner so that they can keep their navels in tip-top condition at home. (Not for use at the Christmas dinner table)
Finally:-
Great Britain's most famous navel leader (1758 - 1805).He
was killed during a great navel conflict with French and
Spanish ships at The Battle of Trafalgar.
