The tween site for adults

Month March 2010

Don't ass, don't tell

Lots of news, not a lot of time to write, but this I had to share: Luke, the amazing, amazingly patient man who built this site for me, hooked me up with Google Analytics so that I could get a… Continue Reading →

Appealing to a new demographic (seniors vote!)

LULU WROTE: Formerly cute young guys and men noticed me. Now they notice my daughters. The old white-haired retirees are crazy about me, however.
