#4. Overworked & Underf*cked

Talk about luck, I have no idea how I found this blog , but am I ever glad I did! More sex! Absolutely! And then there's the little side benefits. Avatar Socalian (no Virginia, it's not her real name, it's her pen name. Because she lives in Southern California, that's why, now shhh)will take something completely contrived, but so close that it could be real, and then does a raging parody on the situation. And the participating audience posts 'reactions' or actually participates. You need to be a very creative writer to play here. I have 'blown' it there several times, but Avatar is a real and generous person who has tolerated me, gratefully.

Of greater importance, Avatar has no problem speaking out on social injustice. Her post on how her friend Becky> is a testament to the stupidity of discrimination. This society still finds it acceptible to discriminate against people who are heavy, just as we discriminate again others. The big difference is that women, people of different races, countries of national origin, etc. are protected. Fat people aren't. You can find all the statistics you'd care to find pretty easily with Google.

Avatar also has posts that will interest most of you:

What it Feels Like In A Girl is the opposite of What it Feels Like
For A Girl with a lot of insight from Avatar. Then, another manual for those of us who are less informed (me!) she has written
How To Prepare For A Casual Encounter. And last, we have Rules For A One Night Stand. I also want you to know that Avatar originated <C*ckblogging Wednesday> a tasty treat almost every Wednesday that truely makes Wednesday, well, Hump Day!

I could keep writing, but a lousy thing has happened to Avatar. She has lost her job. She is a graphic artist and Junior Art Director. She is looking in the Orange County/Los Angeles/San Diego area for work. If you know of a company looking for someone like her, or have a media contact in the area, or any lead of substance please go directly to Avatar's site and let her know. You ask why would I go out on a limb for someone I have never met, nor spoken with? Avatar is my HERO. I do not have her guts, her insight, her willingness to get the hate mail that she does. She has stood up for so many different groups and individuals that I am asking you to take a couple of minutes to see if you can help her. Thank you in advance for your efforts!
