Her Got Blogstein? shirt, that is.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress Amber Benson, who also wrote Death’s Daughter, offered up a challenge to her fans: If she receives 85 reviews of her book on Amazon.com, she would post a YouTube video of herself doing the Macarena. 

Then, when she appeared on the April 14th edition of the Radio Happy Hour, she upped the ante and agreed to do the Macarena while wearing a Got Blogstein? t-shirt.

See Exhibit A:

Well, the 85 review plateau was accomplished, but Amber only followed through on part of her guarantee. Exhibit B is her Macarena, but where is her Got Blogstein? t-shirt?

After posting the video, Amber said through her twitter that “Sadly, the Dr. Blogstein shirt didn’t arrive in time for the Macarena Checking my mailbox anxiously nonetheless for the coolest of shirts”

Exhibit C:

We have now launched an investigation into the whereabouts of that shirt.  Stay tuned to this page for further details. . .

Last month, on actress/author Amber Benson’s official blog (which is named Amber Benson’s Official Blog), the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star turned writer threw out this challenge to her fans:

Okay, I have a favor to ask. If you have read the book I’m schilling (selling, pimping, whatever the Hell you wanna call it), would you post a review of it up on Amazon? I don’t care if you loved Death’s Daughter or hated it. Just post your thoughts; any and all. It would be very helpful and if I get 85 reviews going over at Amazon (not all by the same person) then I will post a video of me up on You Tube doing the Macarena.

You don’t believe? Just try me. I do a nasty Macarena. 

Well, last night on the Radio Happy Hour, Amber, who would later admit to being “dazed and confused” following a minor fender bender, agreed to do said Macarena while wearing a Got Blogstein t-shirt.

While it’s not clear whether her mental state was to blame for that addition to her Macarena Challenge, she did agree to it on air, archived forever in crystal clear MP3, so we plan on holding her to it!

That said, help Amber get to 85 reviews on Amazon.com! Buy and review Death’s Daughter, because if Amber’s Macarena is anything close to her performance here, its something we NEED to see!

Here is the full video of Amber’s SEXY performance of ”Toucha Toucha Touch Me” (aka “Creature of the Night“) at VH-1’s celebrity karaoke tribute to The Rocky Horror Picture Show that was described during this week’s Radio Happy Hour.

As Amber told Dr. Blogstein, though she may appear drunk during this performance, she was actually stone cold sober and completely terrified.

This week on Dr. Blogstein’s
Radio Happy Hour:

The sexy Amber Benson is best known for her role as Tara Maclay on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

 

Tara is introduced in the fourth season as a romantic interest for one of the show’s leads, Willow Rosenberg (played by Alyson Hannigan) and thus was part of one of television’s first lesbian couples to include a series’ major character and the only to include two witches (insert your Ellen DeGeneres/Portia de Rossi joke here.)

 

Amber has since written several novels and comic books, her latest titled Death’s Daughter.
