Blah
This has been the fastest week ever, and it just keeps getting more hectic! Lots going on around here. School has started and the population has just quadrupled in my neighborhood. I’m scared to leave the house for fear of being trampled to death! But it’s exciting too. It almost makes me wish I was still in school—well, almost.
I have been working on a really exciting and creative project that I am giddy to show you, but not till it’s finished. Anywho, the upshot is that I’ve been flipping through magazines for days. My sister still has magazines from 1997. And not, like, collectors items or anything. Just regular old issues of Bazaar, Elle, Vogue… it’s awesome. I can’t wait to finish my fantabulous project and show you (and the world!!!) It kind of reminds me of what a day-in-the-life must be like for Stiletto Heights.
And guess what, the strange-yet-endearing Brian Mandebach interviewed me on his blog. I hope you’ll go check it out. He asked some bizarro-land questions, but it was very fun. His first novel, Or Not, is coming out this fall, and I’m very excited to check it out. I think it’s gonna be a good one!
Have a good weekend, y’all.

I think I know what it is. But I’ll keep my mouth shut.
I miss your comemnts on my blog, Alex.
And I still can’t find Backtalk. I’m thinking Chapters is messeded up.
So I’ll keep trying.

you my dear are wonderful, I have been reading passages out loud to my bubs, the fashion bits are lost on him but he liked the mention of the Olsen Twins.

Hi Alex! I dropped off the face of the earth and look what I missed–marriage, quiche, and fashion week! Just wanted to say love your wedding pix–you’re right, your dress was too die for (and loved the cake toppers, too :). Congratulations! I hope Back Talk is doing faboo–it was great working with you. My blog is back after a summer hiatus (ok–I was lazy and enjoying the great outdoors!) Hope you’re doing well!

I had to order your book and I’ve read it about 1/4 the way through in almost one night. I love the snarkiness of the main character’s thoughts. Exactly what I think in some of her situations. I love it so far!

Kisses !!

Great interview — questions and answers, both.
Loved the “What do you like to blog about most — clothes, or clothes?” LOL
Yep. Weird is definitely good. And hey, it’s all relative too, yes?
