Truth be told: The Bloggess and Le Clown are not the same person.
Admittedly, up to a few weeks ago, I didn’t know who The Bloggess was. Say it: Le Clown, have you been living under a rock? Perhaps, but it’s a mighty, beautiful rock. Admittedly, up to a few hours ago, I didn’t know The Bloggess was not Jenny Lawson’s birth given-name. As I said: it is a big and mighty rock, and comes heated with a view on the park. Well… The Bloggess will send a tweet to give a push to Bloggers for Movember.
Mary is a fairy godmother, and Jenny’s assistant (I suggested to Mary she should give up the personal assistant nomenclature and run solely with fairy godmother). Mary made the tweet possible. Our email conversation went like this:
Le Clown: Jenny, you watch clown porn, and I blog under a clown pseudonym. It’s a match made in blogheaven. Would you give us a hand with Bloggers for Movember?
Mary, Fairy Godmother (answering for Jenny): Can you tell me exactly what you are interested in and I’ll try to see if we have anything available?
Le Clown: I’m not expecting Jenny to endorse anything. But we’ll accept a lock of her hair.
Mary, Fairy Godmother: You are awesome and I adore you even though you are a clown. Jenny can send out a blurb on Twitter from her @thegoodbloggess account.
Le Clown: I’ll let you in on a little something… I’m not really a clown… I’m just a French Canadian who has too much of a poor vocabulary to find a better moniker. We humbly accept Jenny’s tweet. Want to go for ice cream?
And this is when it happened… Mary praised Le Clown:
Le Clown: I might pull a Mr. Brainwash and quote you everywhere I go to promote myself.
Mary, Fairy Godmother: What are Fairy Godmothers for if not to make wishes come true.
Amen to that, Mary, Fairy Godmother. A free tweet from The Bloggess, and accolades from a fairy godmother. It’s just like Christmas… without the Xanax and bankruptcy.
Sneaky yet brilliant, a true Le Clown cunning plan. Glad you’re managing to get more publicity over this Movember thing I can’t wait to try and make Toby wear a moustache for it

Good morning to you! As much as Le Clown is a self-promoting genius, some could say whore but Le Clown has more tact and class, this is about bringing as much visibility as Le Clown can get for Bloggers for Movember. And truth be told: that Mary, Fairy Godmother… a sweetheart.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 07:59A true gentleman really I’d say! Visibility for a good cause, an excellent reason to be a little whorish
I now have an image of Mary in a big frilly dress with wings and a wand, I really hope she does, maybe even sings songs with lots of bippity boppety boo’s in them…if not then fair enough not many people have the time for it now a days.
Mel
Posted by scienerf | October 13, 2012, 02:54Freshly Pressed, and an endorsement from The Bloggess all in one week! Where will it end?! I’m glad I hopped on the Le Clown wagon before all this happened, or I would be accused of just being a wagon hopper!
Posted by Vanessa Chapman | October 12, 2012, 07:23Vanessa,
It was a very good week indeed. I was sitting here trying to come up with a falsely modest response, you know, the: “Oh stop it, it’s team work”… but that was 2 hours wasted that I will never get back. The Bloggess giving us a push is magnificent.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 08:02Yowza! You are a marketing genius mustachioed clown. Hugo is wondering if Jenny would send a tweet about him now that you two are bffs.
Posted by speaker7 | October 12, 2012, 07:24Speaker7,
Hugo seems like an oddity that is right up The Bloggess’ alley… I say make a Twitter plea… I’d watch that show. I’d even make popcorn to watch that show…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 08:25Hugo even has the mustasche – except it’s a pubestasche, but no one need know that part.
Posted by aliceatwonderland | October 12, 2012, 18:08Awesome! So, what’s next? How about getting Wil Wheaton to shave off his Willian Riker beard, and grow a mustache for Movember? Him and The Bloggess are buddies now. It could happen.
Posted by Brother Jon | October 12, 2012, 07:31BJ,
I’ve seen Wil Wheaton‘s picture on The Bloggess’ site. He is prettier than Wesley Crusher.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 08:35I agree. I saw a anniversary a few months ago, with all of them at comic-con, or something, when LaVar Burton said something to the effect of “…I eefing hated you. You were a pain in the ass, but you were our pain in the ass…” This is after Wheaton apologized for being a kid and leaving the show like and when he did.
Posted by Brother Jon | October 12, 2012, 08:44How did Wheaton leave the show? Was he a little jerk? I felt kind of sorry for him – I mean he was just playing a character, albeit an extremely annoying character.
Posted by aliceatwonderland | October 12, 2012, 18:10I’m not really sure, but I think it had something to do with him being 18 and thinking that he knew everything. There is a video out there showing what I talked about above. He said, during that, that he was afraid, until recently, to come to any of the gatherings cause he didn’t know how they all felt about him. That’s when LaVar got really cool and said something that you wouldn’t hear on Reading Rainbow.
Posted by Brother Jon | October 12, 2012, 18:22Haha, you have got to get me the link to that, so I “don’t have to take your word for it”!
Posted by aliceatwonderland | October 12, 2012, 19:19Huzzah! What’s next? A direct mention from the Prime Minister’s Twitter handle himself?
Posted by daddyranman | October 12, 2012, 08:02Daddy Ranman,
Our prime minister doesn’t tweet. It takes an IQ above 40 to tweet, or so they say.
And this is not insult to those who have an IQ below 40, unless you are the prime minister.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 08:44Nice.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 13:59Here I am, thinking “Ranman, you won’t learn a thing all day”. Well thank you, Clown…now I know learning is less than half the battle for your Primey.
Posted by daddyranman | October 12, 2012, 19:53I hope this leads to a stash bash with Le Clown, the Bloggess, and some sort of of circus of taxidermy animal carnies. Nice job! Great publicity for a wonderful cause.
Posted by RFL | October 12, 2012, 08:03Rachelle,
I’m thrilled for Bloggers for Movember. The Roller Giraffe has introduced me to some her Jenny Lawson’s well-known facts, i.e. the taxidermy… I’m looking forward to making some fresh coffee, and taking a few months to discover her universe.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 08:19Take the Clown Show in the road. I ‘m so happy for Clown. Trepidation is the word of the day for this fairy. I’m chuckling for you.
Posted by Clandestine Cuba | October 12, 2012, 08:25CC,
Le Clown on the road. I could travel with the Antiques Roadshow. People could guess my age, and appraisers could put a price tag on Le Clown…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 08:50LeClown!! So excited for you!! I met the Bloggess several months ago while she was on tour, she’s brilliant (obviously) and I’m thrilled she’s supporting Movember =D She’ll lend a wonderful voice!!
Posted by IThoughtThisWouldBeEasier | October 12, 2012, 08:35Jamie,
Le Clown is new to her world, which basically seems to be bigger than the world we are living in, which again is quite the achievement. But I’ve seen pictures of her with Neil Gaiman, and as I am a fan of Amanda Palmer, I somehow started thinking that the Bloggess and I are simply separated by two degrees…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 08:57I thought Le Clown was actually Wayne Coyne. You can’t fool me, you space-rock pervert.
Posted by Brent Waggoner | October 12, 2012, 08:53Brent,
Le Clown has received high praise in his lifetime, but this one is the cherry on the cake. Alas, Le Clown is not Wayne Coyne.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 09:05An endorsement from The Bloggess? I knew I liked you for a reason… And congrats! Excited to join the Movember movement!
Posted by Creative Liar | October 12, 2012, 09:12Ericka,
This week, I thought the highlight was going to get my clown costume at the dry cleaner, but little did Le Clown know…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 09:14Le Clown, that’s wonderful my friend! Congrats to you…can’t wait to hear more about this.
Posted by Brigitte | October 12, 2012, 09:14Brigitte,
It’s is very good news for Bloggers for Movember. I’m thrilled. On an unrelated note, I should stop with the coffee this morning. I seem to be getting up between each five words for a short but powerful trip to the bathroom…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 09:31Now didn’t we talk about over-sharing? (smile)
Posted by Brigitte | October 12, 2012, 10:56Brigitte,
We did indeed talk. Did Le Clown listen?
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 10:57No, you never do. But that’s part of your clown charm. Like a mischievous child. Lovable but never listening.
Posted by Brigitte | October 12, 2012, 10:59Brigitte,
The Eric guy takes everything you say at heart, though. But you know that.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 11:00I know, it comes from the heart and is a very benevolent feeling and sentiment. But I won’t leave a smiling face.
Posted by Brigitte | October 12, 2012, 11:07So true Brigitte, so true… wait, what did you say again? Oh, maybe this is part of the reason I get along with Le Clown.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:04Tsk, tsk.
. That’s for your reply since Le Clown is vehemently opposed to putting smiley faces on any comments directed at him, Soul.
Posted by Brigitte | October 12, 2012, 14:35
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:41I’ve been meaning to add the Movember badge to my blog, but I keep forgetting to turn on my computer. Looks like you’re getting quite a reach, though. I see it all over the place! You rock, mistah
Posted by legionwriter | October 12, 2012, 09:32Legion Writer,
Le Clown won’t lie – he’s thrilled about the visibility Bloggers for Movember is getting… It was a great week, but a very busy week… Now I should also feed my kids if I want them to reach the age of puberty.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 09:42Congratulations – this has been a phenomenal week! you are on FIRE, my friend ~
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 09:35Rutabaga,
It’s the good type of fire, you know? Not the type that needs a topical cream, or a prescription to calm…
Le Clown
PS: Thank you.
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 09:37Definitely GOOD fire. It’s amazing how communities form in this realm. It’s like all these venn diagrams that eventually connect like minded people together. Sociologically, I find it incredibly fascinating. It sounds stupid – but it’s true.
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 09:42That’s not stupid at all… because those diagrams are amazing (in the interest of full disclosure I do have a degree in philosophy and am expected to say such things… but I usually believe them).
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:03I love philosophy – I have a degree (undergrad) in Sociology and an MA in information resources/library sciences. What is your area in philosophy? I wanted to study philosophy until my parents put the kibash (sp) on it …. (shameless self promotion) http://themercenaryresearcher.wordpress.com/2012/07/14/the-janus-that-is-math/ this is my post about phil. of math.
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 14:11Epistemology and philosophy of religion are my two fav’s… but I like to try new things.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:12The study of knowledge vs information is a favorite amongst us nerdy librarian types.
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 14:14Which is just another reason why librarians are so hot (don’t read into that).
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:32Hee hee…gottcha!
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 14:49I am particularly fond of belief mechanisms.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:34Explain.
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 14:49First, an observation:
People do not have direct control over their beliefs.
Second, a question:
Can the mechanism of belief be described in a meaningful way?
Third, a point, or a possible beginning:
The “unfounded” supports the explainable. In other words: there is a connection between faith and knowledge and it has to do with belief. This faith is not necessarily at all religious.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:54I’m compelled to comment – not because I’m agreeing or disagreeing but because I’m curious.
Why do people not have direct control over their beliefs? I would think that is one thing I can control – what I chose to believe in (with the understanding that despite believing or not believing it doesnt’ change the state of that thing I believe in – so if I believe in faries – that in and of itself has nothing to do with the truth of if they exist).
How do you define ‘knowledge’? I can have faith that faries will save me from a clown on fire (haha) even if I have know knowledged that faries exist but I have belief that they do.
I thought faith/belief tend exist regardless of any kind of knowledge if their beliefs/faith are based on a truth.
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 15:01If you can choose to believe something then do so right now. This is a challenge. Choose to believe something you do not currently believe. Perhaps you could decide right this moment to believe that the earth is actually flat and hexagonal in nature. Let me know how that goes.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 15:04I’m going to comment in a differnet venue
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 15:22Of course. Cheers.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 15:23http://themercenaryresearcher.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/belief-mechanisms-aka-clown-appeasement/
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 20:41And this is not at all meant to be an unfriendly challenge (just so we are clear).
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 15:05of course –
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 15:22Rutabaga and Soul Walker,
What a great conversation! Here’s what I suggest, as Le Clown has great ideas like that… And you can thank me later: how about you exchange emails, or Facebook credentials, and take it elsewhere? Right? I know, Le Clown is such a diplomat.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 15:02opps – sorry. no problem (blushing with embarrassment)
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 15:14Rutabaga and Soul Walker,
Even better: make a blog post out of it! Now that would make a great topic and generate conversation…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 15:04Good idea. Sorry again – I’m horrified with embarrassment
Posted by Rutabaga the Mercenary Researcher | October 12, 2012, 15:22I am not… thank goodness there are some benefits to brainwashing… but everyone loves the bloggess and that is much more important… mostly because it’s her.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 13, 2012, 01:40It’s already generating conversation, right?
Posted by Edward Hotspur | October 12, 2012, 22:18Eddie,
Look at you duplicating content! That’s my favourite social media pet peeve! I’ll do the same, as it’s so much fun to poke fun at you… How about generating content elsewhere? Now everyone is happier, and by everyone, I mean Le Clown, of course.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 22:22Ah, I see. I thought you were the president and CEO of everything you write, not the dictator of everything other people write. My mistake! Carry on, my wayward son.
Posted by Edward Hotspur | October 12, 2012, 22:26Eddie,
As President and CEO of everything I write, and of the world – but you would know that if you would have read my early posts, I do have the option of changing my mind, my rules, and adapt my magnanimity towards myself to my own liking. It’s a wonderful thing to be ruler of my magnificent kingdom.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 22:29Certainly. Everyone has that option. I have never exercised it. To me, it would be like having a party with dozens of people, and then booting some of them for not talking about what I wanted them to.
We perhaps see this differently. Already you are engaging in this discussion because it’s about you. However, allow me to tell you about The Gazette. They are a very good Japanese visual kei band, known for their hard sound and pleasing melodies and ballads. They have written songs in virtually every rock genre, including reggae, punk, jazz, ska, metal, pop, disco, and so forth.
I listen to the Gazette nearly every day. They are just fantastic. I look up the lyrics online, and get an understanding of the meaning from that. Otherwise, I just consider the vocals as another instrument and enjoy it that way.
Ah, look at that! We have generated conversation.
Posted by Edward Hotspur | October 12, 2012, 22:41Eddie,
I don’t mind generating conversation – that’s what I do, and I will tell you this with no false modesty, this is where I excel. Now, if this post wasn’t about Bloggers for Movember, which underneath the accolades of The Bloggess, the main topic resides, perhaps. But this conversation, albeit an interesting one, has a better place elsewhere. This blog is already generating a great deal of conversation. It has also been said that one of the strength of this blog is in the Comment section, and I agree, fully. I am also moderator of my own blog, and I did feel I needed to intervene on this particular conversation – it didn’t have it’s place. Truth be told, I would have probably have done the same on another thread, if the topic was swaying away too much. As this is Le Clown’s House of Fun, it is also given the Le Clown treatment… A post by L’Éric would have been more beige in its request to find a new home for the conversation.
We could also take this one on its own blog post, but I personally do not have it in me, not right away at least.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 22:47Gee, I’ve missed a lot here today, haven’t I. Why is it wrong for Le Clown to prefer that a thread about something absolutely not related to the topic at hand to be moved somewhere more appropriate? It hardly seems dictatorial. Dictatorial would be deleting the comments and/or blocking people from commenting. Surely we know the difference, yes?
Plus, when one has as many commenters as Le Clown, an added 20 or so comments ends up pushing things over the top for people who just want to say something about the subject of the blog post without scrolling down past a zillion side remarks. This would be true on my blog as well.
There. Now I’ve added my own side comment. I enjoy the irony of that.
Posted by Madame Weebles | October 12, 2012, 22:56Denise,
My goodness, no need to be embarrassed. It has the making of a great post. Seriously, do it!

Posted by Fish Out of Water | October 12, 2012, 10:06I didn’t capitalize her name. The blogging world will have my head!
Posted by Fish Out of Water | October 12, 2012, 10:08Fish,
Is this something Le Clown should be aware of? Do we capitalize THE BLOGGESS? So, it’s THE BLOGGESS and Jenny Lawson?
Le Confused Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 10:14The Bloggess is the proper way, I think. All caps would mean we are yelling it. THE BLOGGESS’ CRAP IS HOLY! Perhaps all caps is good too.
Posted by Fish Out of Water | October 12, 2012, 10:15Fish,
You do have a magnificent point here. You could have helped Paul Ryan out of the rabbit hole during last night’s debate with your excellent logic. But we wouldn’t want that, now would we?
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 10:08I can’t even think about the possibility of having a President that believes no one dies from lack of insurance coverage. Sickening.
Posted by Fish Out of Water | October 12, 2012, 10:10You are the man! It’s like you are really a magician instead of a clown. Now, let’s get Tom Selleck himself to endorse this thing. He is a mustache god.
Posted by becca3416 | October 12, 2012, 09:53Becca,
Clowns are magicians too, you know! I mean, Le Clown was going to make a distasteful joke about certain clowns making kids disappear – PennyWise of course – but Le Clown has more tact than that. And Tom Selleck, the man behind the ‘stache. He invented the moustache, I think. Or was it Sam Elliott?
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 09:57Sam Elliot taught Tom Selleck’s mustache everything it knows. And PennyWise can take his balloons and shove ‘em. I am still terrified of that clown’s over sized forehead.

I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, who’s something of a Fairy Godmother too. And she does magic. Examples? Sure:
1. She prevents us from sleeping;
2. I will leave her alone for two minutes and come back to find she has magically made a turd appear on the hardwood floor;
3. She levitates and vomits frogs.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 10:32My two little wizards also perform the same functions. And they’re way more expensive than a real personal assistant.
Posted by rollergiraffe | October 12, 2012, 10:41I’m not jealous of you too… yet.
Posted by Soul Walker | October 12, 2012, 14:05That’s great news Eric. Jenny is a class-act. I met her on tour and can vouch for her sincerity; she’s good people. She’s my girl crush.
You’ll catch on to her world pretty quickly via her blog, but man, you HAVE to read her book like right now. “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened.”

Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 13:00First of all, congrats on being freshly pressed! I like your Banksy-esque emblem for it!
I know of the bloggess but I haven’t read her book and haven’t actually gone to her blog…I should probably get on that. Right?
Posted by Lily | October 12, 2012, 13:14Lily,
I didn’t know too much about The Bloggess either, but I am learning that she’s a class act. As for Banksy: WORD!
I’m happy we’re friends again. But that sounds like a compliment, and Le Clown doesn’t do compliments.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 13:18Same.
Shame you don’t do compliments. I pretty much ONLY do compliments.
Do you do insults?
Posted by Lily | October 12, 2012, 13:26Lily,
Do I do insults? I am Le Clown, after all….

This is an awesome development and great news for the campaign. Congrats! I’ve heard of the Bloggess, but like you, am not familiar with her. I know she’s big. I’ll go read about her now.

Speaking of nothing related, how’s life after the Freshly Pressed bump?

I’m so happy! I’m trying to keep up with the comments. I’m sure that’s old hat for you, but I’m a little new at this. I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Lots of new followers. It’s been very positive. Thanks for asking. What about you?

Posted by The Bumble Files | October 12, 2012, 15:49Le Clown and Bloggess joining forces to combat evil for the good of all man(and lady)kind??? I think my mind was just blown.
I worship this lady. The End.

Then I need to see a picture of your Bloggess shrine.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 15:38Challenge accepted.
Stay tuned.
Posted by Lyssapants | October 12, 2012, 15:43Lyssa,
Yes!

Wait, so, like, who is the Bloggess? Was I supposed to have figured that out from this or something? Also, great pic with your eyes jabbed out there. Very suave.

Haven’t you clicked on any link I have provided? I make sure you are fully equipped to successfully understand each post. I’m quite sad about this outcome, and my tears are ruining my clown make-up…

Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 18:39Le Clown,
Link? Crap, I guess I should have read your post. My bad.

Posted by aliceatwonderland | October 12, 2012, 19:19Oh! You sly French Canadian
Next I think you should get a lock of Trudeau’s hair 
Posted by belleofthecarnival | October 12, 2012, 18:50Belle,
Well we did shave our staches together in 2010… I should have picked up his hair and auctioned it… It’s good to see you. As always.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 18:52You did! Just think of the money you could have made…Well! There is always next time
Posted by belleofthecarnival | October 12, 2012, 19:04You are a blogging superhero, seriously. I’m happy that Movember has grown legs, and is running!
Posted by Jen and Tonic | October 12, 2012, 20:56Jen,
A moustache with grown legs, running. I’d pay to see that.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 23:26Does this mean that you’ll be getting your own Fairy Godmother too? Because if so, she and I are going to have to have a little talk about what she’s getting herself into. And nice going on the Bloggess Tweet—she’s good people, obviously.
Posted by Madame Weebles | October 12, 2012, 21:14Madame Weebles,
Le Clown is seriously thinking about reintroducing the weekly Personal Assistant honoUr very shortly. Le Clown is pretty sure it is the way to go… And I wouldn’t want anyone working with Le Clown to not have a conversation with you before hand…
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 22:27That’s good, because I have many things to warn them about.
Posted by Madame Weebles | October 12, 2012, 22:50I was endorsed by Virginia Hey. That’s a little obscure, and will be difficult to work out, but I have faith in you.
Posted by Edward Hotspur | October 12, 2012, 22:20Eddie,
I do not know her, I do know of Farscape, and I am happy for you, sweetie pie.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 22:24You’re on the right track. And yet, not quite.
Posted by Edward Hotspur | October 12, 2012, 22:28Eddie,
I’ve lost interest anyway. Look, a squirrel!
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | October 12, 2012, 22:29No.
Posted by Edward Hotspur | October 12, 2012, 22:32And Christmas is a most wonderful time of year… especially with Le Clown and Bloggess! Fairy God mother’s are awesome.

You are a class act, my friend!

Posted by Le Clown | October 13, 2012, 07:26How could have just found the blogess? She is most amazing. Her book, was the best read of the year. Of course everything else I read was clown porn, so its not much to compare to .
Posted by nevercontrary | October 13, 2012, 20:41P.S. When is best to post my blog for Movember? Should I wait until November? Is there a special day, or should I just go with it in the upcoming weeks?
Posted by nevercontrary | October 13, 2012, 20:43Hey there! I’m trying to get caught up…congratulations on getting Freshly Pressed! And the Movember post was inspired; it feels like it’s going to be HUGE. But The Bloggess? Pretty damn cool. Can I take credit for introducing her to you when I referenced her Clown Porn post on your facebook page back in July?
