Savannah Meets George Washington
Savannah of Williamsburg devotees have been anxiously awaiting Book IV in my 18thC. historical-fiction series. Well, pour some tea and put up your feet, folks ... be prepared to wait a little longer. Happily, my non-Savannah writing affords me a bevy of opportunity: as of late, covering various comic book conventions, reviewing the odd TV series, interviewing other writers and some producers and actors, to boot. As I am inextricably bonded to geek culture, I heartily enjoy writing in this genre. Although, because it is raw-ther niche, the more I write, the more call I get to do so. It's a nerdy, vicious cycle, my pretties. Unfamiliar with some of my geek oeuvres? Find them at GoodToBeAGeek.com, under the pseudonym Miss Hannah Hart, ghostdame of the Hotel del Coronado, and syndicated at RocketLlama.com and, soon, Nerdspan.com!
Barbie for President 2012: Yes, We Glam!
Yes, We Glam!
Finally, a candidate we can trust! A candidate who inspires us! JennyPop has been a solid Barbie supporter for eons. She has campaigned and voted for Barbie in the past and she shall do so again!
Forbes knows, InStyle knows, Lucky knows and ABC News knows ... the B Party is the one to beat this General Election! Go, Barbie Girl, go!
Now, for those of you whom disdain (gasp!) Barbie, allow me to cheerfully persuade you to open your mind via an excerpt from a letter, sent to me by a dear, ol' school chum, after a weekend in Berkeley, where I proudly stood as one of her bridesmaids. Please note, said-chum is a NorCal M.D., somewhat a feminist and very much a yellow dog democrat. Recants she ...
Your card for some reason triggered a memory from our luncheon at The Claremont of how we debated the merits of Barbie. I take back what I said about her. If you say she's alright [sic], I'll buy it.
You're welcome, Mattel :D
Update: As this post is getting bonkers-numbers, I might as well admit full-disclosure. Just in case I've never mentioned it in a previous post, I possess a ridiculous and gorgeous Barbie collection. My goal? A Barbie village. I have a number of cars, horses and the like to populate the village nicely. Around the village though, I will erect a medieval-styled, stone wall. Surrounding this wall will be a selection of non-Barbies: generic, 12" "fashion dolls", all with their arms stretched high and trying futilely to enter my Barbie village. If that doesn't work, I shall encircle my office with them, like Corky Sherwood Forest's office on Murphy Brown or Kelly Gaines' bedroom on Cheers (girlfriend to Woody Harrelson's bartender-character, Woody Boyd). Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly ... went Woody's love song to her, if I recall correctly.
Further, I always, always want more and will never, ever have enough Barbies. Currently, I'm craving Mad Men Barbie (Joan Harris), Darya Barbie or Hawaiian Barbie. All those I don't have, yet covet, can be found at BarbieCollector.com ... just FYI ;)

As of late, yours truly has been greatly distracted and engaged by the likes of my dear pal Miss Hannah Hart, ghostdame of the Hotel Del (her latest piece being a gracious and geeky ode to Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Leonard Nimoy on the former's 200th birthday); my Darlings of Orange County and it's forthwith release; the launch of my website JennyPop.com and the great fun of being @JennyPopCom.
In those spare moments when I'm not Tweeting, blogging, editing, primping, ghosting and pirating, I have been dutifully and diligently researching, developing and gathering facts, dates, details and tidbits like a perky squirrel gathering perfect branches and bits of shiny, gold string for her new nest. Sans doute, this next installment of Savannah of Williamsburg is proving the most difficult yet of all past titles.
