Allow me to introduce my friend, DJ Paris.


Who here knows DJ Paris? If you don’t, you should. Not everyone writing humor blogs on the internet is actually funny. I’m not even sure that I make more than three people laugh anymore. (Thanks, Mel, Vanessa and Mom.) But this dude is funny. And actually very tall and Nordic-looking. I just met him at the women’s conference I attended in Chicago last week. He was one of the SIX MEN there with SIX THOUSAND WOMEN. (Yes, that puts him in the 0.1-th percentile. And yes, I needed a calculator for that kind of math.)

Mel and I had communicated with him electronically lots of times prior to finally meeting him in Chicago. And he was, as expected, every bit as nice and funny in person. And thus I am pointing you in his direction (OMG! He’s standing RIGHT BEHIND YOU!) for two reasons:

  1. He’s funny and you won’t be wasting your time reading his stuff.
  2. He interviewed me recently for his podcast entitled ‘Bloggers Are Weird.’ (Hey! Wait a minute … So help me, if I weren’t so busy making a footed rain slicker for the cat … )

So if you want to hear DJ’s honed interviewing skills and my attempt at speaking S-L-O-W-L-Y and with ar-tic-u-LA-tion, click here to be transported to ThoughtsFromParis.com. Thanks, DJ. Whenever I hear your name, I will now think of your face first instead of child stars from Roseanne or Full House.

As a guy, he garnered lots of attention at the women’s conference.


Next year, I’m wearing a chicken costume in a light-up snorkel mask. And I’m  entering on a Himalayan camel.

Game on, Mr. Paris.

Ketchup With Us #23


A few weeks ago, my friend Vanessa showed me a YouTube video that recently went viral. Even if you’ve already seen it, click it now to get yourself in the zone.

Naturally, I shared it with Mel while dining in a hipster restaurant in Chicago. Then, we immediately began taking turns snapping our own versions of BRF. Everyone around us was “cool” so they thought we were a couple of uncouth buffoons. (We get that a lot actually.) And, of course, we didn’t stop with ourselves. We also took a few candids from the general public, including the hostess of said hipster restaurant. It was hysterically perfect. But I’m not sharing it here today. Because that would be, well, bitchy. Right?

Anyway, here are two of our favorites from the trip.

Damn, I look ten years older with this stupid face.

I can’t explain why but it’s easier to make the face when you’re dolled up.
