news outlet talks about a blogger, but then doesn't link to their
blog.
In this case, it's an AP story featured on
CNN.com: "Office
drone by day, stripper by night."
Ooh,
stripper. Titillation ahead.
Giggity-giggity, as the kids say. Hey, it involves
blogs, so I can write about it.
Author
& Blogger Diablo Cody
Brook Busey-Hunt) is apparently having a heck of a
year, with a screenplay being produced, a Letterman
appearance, plus of course, her stripper memoir:
'Candy
Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely
Stripper.'
The hardcover came out in
December. So why are we talking about this now? Oh, right:
Strippers!
I'm sure it's a
well-written and frank look at the unlikely tale of a
stripper-blah-blah-boobs-blah-blah-phone sex, but the stripper memoir
is not exactly virgin territory
(literarily-speaking, of course), especially in recent
years.
Anyway, the point of all this (strippers!)
was that the article mentions that she's been "A blogger since 2000
(her blog's name is not family
friendly)..."
Well now, isn't
that interesting.
A quick Google search on her name
turns up her blog on the Twin-Cities alterna-weekly ("alterna-weekly"
means it's free and has sex ads) City
Pages, which is called...
Um. This
presents a problem.
While I can link the blog with
an appropriate content warning, I can't name the
blog. So I'll just have to say that the blog is "[Another term for cat]
Ranch" [Aforementioned appropriate Content
Warning], where she also blogs
her reaction to the CNN story [another content
warning].
In closing:
Strippers!
***************In another blogging
note, which I wouldn't say is related except for the dirty language,
Ana Marie Cox, founding editor of potty-mouthed
politico-gossip blog Wonkette.com [Content warning:
strong language] was just named Washington editor of Time.com, which goes to show
that penis jokes can get you far in life.
I'm going
to stop typing
now.
Strippers!
Thanks --
Joe

Hi Terry -- right now, the new entry Alerts fix (which I wrote about in my previous entry: http://journals.aol.com/journalseditor/magicsmoke/entries/2006/07/27/alerts-test/1569 ) only works if you post from your beta Journal. I posted my 2 most recent entries today from the beta version of my Journal. I don't think a lot of people use the Journals beta.
The fix so that Alerts work for everybody will be installed Friday, 7/28 at 4AM.
Thanks -- Joe (posted & mailed)

I'm 5 feet tall with a fat face, so know that I'm not speaking down to this woman.... but I'll quote an expert friend of mine who was here as I read this piece:
"That's one of those 4 PM strippers, where you go into the bar and there's like a half dozen guys there drinking gin by themselves.... She probably actually talks to them and stuff."
also...
Hunter Thompson, on the difference between northern and southern strippers:
"Southern girls head to Atlanta to "get into show business," and they end up in porn. People who are expert in this field tell me that you can always tell when porn films were made in Atlanta, because of all the pretty girls. Nowhere else in America can you get last year's Sigma Chi sweetheart to take on twelve Georgia-style Hell's Angels for $100 and lunch."
Hey there Joe ;) Just wanted to say hi. Im a big lurker, i always check out this j and enjoy getting the updates and reading it. I have a question thats been kind of, lol, bugging me for a while. When are the journals finally getting skins? Bkgs, such? Its really great all the releases are coming out and i love the features. But i am tired of just changing the colors all the time. I really, really thought that was going to change too. It would be so great to have nice journal backgrounds to choose from. Can you let me know when that would ever happen? Thanks and have a good day! Leslie
