I say, screw her. Not literally, it sounds like she would be a dull lay at best. I like hearing about the daily drama of another’s life. It brings scope to the stories on the page, and I learn more about the person possesing the anatomy that is always aroused. And really, if you were off all the time, satiating the demands of said anotomy, you wouldn’t have the time to post about it, now would you?

Pay the pundits no mind. I, for one, enjoy reading your blog greatly.

Tsk,Tsk to the writer, but regarding the newspaper, is New Zealand really that stuffy?

Oh lord.

Googling Always aroused girl… Can’t wait to read it with out the ****’s… Oh wait… I remember that, that was HOT… well except the whole bladder infection part… I think it is cool that you are a sex goddess/single mom next door maybe it will just have many wanting to read about you too. Let us know if your traffic count goes up… can you tell if they web hits are coming from an Australian ISP?

I like! I like her editorial and all editorials just like I like your blog. Now that you mention it, there are a lot of similarities between the two.

Just as she feels “ripped off”, I too feel ripped off when I read editorials. And face it, sometimes I am not overjoyed when I read your daily entries. I like more than I don’t - hence I keep coming back.

She needed something to write about on a crappy afternoon - and just like most reporters - she obviously wanted to make a one sided argument - or did not enough background work. She pretty much blogged - in print!

She annoys me in the end with the cheap shot towards bloggers. Obviously she is handicapped in her thinking along with other literal skills. She attempts to be cleaver, but does not get there.

On another note, I find her attractive. If she was published in my local paper, I would continue to visit her column. One cannot judge a writer by one column.

I would be both excited that people were writing about my column, and I would be pissed that people were taking cheap shots at me. You are an excellent writer, and if she had taken the time to read more of your stuff, I think even “she” would agree.

Well done AAG being found in this PC part of the world, yes it is quite stuffy, frustratingly so.

I too would be interested to see if you get people from a New Zealand ISP, we do have them you know :-)

You are right though, any publicity is good for you.

So who else can you piss off!

I think you should use the asterisked passage as the basis of your next competition. (I do love the way she’s asterisked out words that weren’t even offensive! I suspect she was just upset that you know how to use semicolons in your prose.)

Anyway, for your next competition you should publish the passage with the asterisks in place and ask people to substitute words for the asterisks. The funniest wins.

For example:
Two friends held my legs spread wide while a third made me scream with the application of a NEW PAINT JOB to my YACHT, a BENTLEY in my GARAGE and another in my SWIMMING POOL. I screamed around the TRUFFLED EGG OMELETTE of one of the men holding me down; I spit him out every time I needed to THANK HIM FOR HIS GENEROSITY. I spit him out quite a lot.

Fucken brilliant. I love it! –aag

As I said at the time, I was delighted to see you name-checked here, even if it was in an editorial that will never be seen by most kiwis (except those of use who are web-savvy and follow the trail).

Charles, NZ mostly isn’t that stuffy - but it’s hard to tell that based on establishment and large organisations. But trust me, the kink is here :)

Perhaps she was trying to drive home the point that you were boring.If you WERE that boring, however, i doubt that they would have had to call in emergency workers to rip the pages out of the paper at the last minute.

Now THAT’s clout!

I find it quite hilarious that she has the oh, so superior attitude that she is a proper grown up journalist rather than one of those silly, self-obsessed, childish bloggers, but she’s the one who gets treated like a little child if she she even hints at a naughty word or thought.

lol I read the first two (didn’t put it together), and didn’t see the third one. Thanks for clearing that up!
We’re definitely not all like that down here, I promise *grin*

and Ted … by the way, New Zealand is NOT Australia :P

No offense was meant, sorry if it came across as such

If yuo can find one, I think you need to write a post about fucking a Kiwi editor. That would go over big:-)

She could be pissed because most people are reading Always Aroused Girl and not reading her editorials.

the editorial was silly enough, but then to realize that it was ripped out by helpful hands in order to sanctify the sunday news .. so funny.

enjoy the publicity AAG

Now…Blog. Was ever a word more heavy with the promise of tedium, more swollen with the delusions of relevance. The blow-bt-blow, the two cents worth, the photographs of the family pet.

Oh, the horror! The injustice! Ms. Simpson’s finest prose sacrificed on the altar of Decency!

lool
well ditto what fellow readers said :)
and aag i bet
SHE IS READING RIGHT NOW

now her next article is about how pathetic the blog readers community is … how indecent.. the lame.. the shame..blablabla

btw.. she seemed to have went thru the whole archive and blog thing .. since some entries are quiet old i guess

She got pretty horny i guess !
i can actually make bets on that
and i bet she was touching herself :P
and she just wrote the end of her “story” in such a crappy way cuz oh well.. u know what :P

I thought the Kiwi’s were a bit wild, guess I was wrong… poor Kiwi’s

you know this reminds me of a column a local woman wrote in our national paper. she cited ONE blog as good that had nary a post for over a year and bitched about gawker and then said she was checking out of the blogverse for good.

course she didn’t manage to be nice about it, apparently i’m uneducated, illiterate and have delusions of a writing career.

then? she said ‘like those who can’t teach, those who can’t write blog’ or something and i basically wanted to kill her.

thanks, not only am i incompetent in my chosen profession but i also clearly am unhappy in said chosen profession and furthermore want her shitty job she got because her MOTHER edits the god damn section she writes for

(leah mclaren of the globe and mail incidentally)

haven’t read her column since.

[without even mentioning that teaching is one of the hardest things to do in the WORLD…. well if you do it well anyway)

How is it possible that you can be considered boring when even heavily asterisked snippets of you cause mayhem and page ripping in New Zealand? Hmm.

I also like the insights you give into your ordinary life. They make the naughty bits feel even more naughty and maybe even attainable to us regular folk. :)

Sex bloggers can’t win. One the one hand, they’re criticized as being unrealistic, even by other bloggers. On the other, they’re criticized as boring if they write about the more pedestrian aspects of their lives. It doesn’t matter what the topics of your posts are, you write well, and I appreciate that as much as I enjoy reading about your exploits and your family. Perhaps not bladder infections, though…

And you’re right, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

PS What’s with all the quilts? All the commenter’s avatars (icons, whatever) are showing up as quilts, with exception of ‘badinfluencegirl’

http://www.gravatar.com/

Well that’s how I ended up here. Trying to see what the fuss is about.
And yes we are big enough to have our own ISPs, so we don’t have to use Australian ones.
Though we have the slowest broadband in the developed world. (But I’m sure you don’t want to hear my rant out that.)
As for how stuffy we are?
We are really not that open publicly. We tend to keep our deviancy behind close doors. Think that is our english heritage.
I was surprised that they pulled it. Like most of us, I only heard about it because it was pulled. That I’m sure is a bigger story than if they left it in and someone complained. (Which they always do.)

ref the quilts - yes, I get that part (and OP’s and Dee’s are both the usual), but it’s only shown blank spaces before. One of life’s little mysteries, like editorial pages and bureaucratic decisions.

Really no mystery. I added a new plugin that would replace the empty boxes with geometric patterns. I don’t think they’re supposed to look like quilts tho. :) –aag

Can one request an new quilt. I hate yellow.

Actually I’m sorting out a gavatar. Just trying to decide what pic to use.

Glad to have you from The Kiwi Brouhaha. The image goes with you, based on your email addy. Are they really awful? Truly? I can dump ‘em if everyone hates them. :) –aag

Yep, Girlie. Enjoy the publicity. I think you should develop an online relationship with the writer and see if you can seduce her to the dark side.

Actually, I really didn’t have anything of interest to say. I just wanted to see if I got pic or quilt.

N.

Hey baby. I don’t know why you would have gotten a “quilt.” You’re using your regular email, right? The one you used to sign up for Gravatars, eh?

Ok, just test my gavatar

And again.

Sorry for the meaningless posts.
Third time’s a charm.

I like your blog exactly as it is, AAG, I wouldn’t change a thing. :) I like to hear about your sexy escapades, and then I like to hear that you’re not a porno-super-women and that you actually have a life too. Thanks for sharing it with us!

…Just wanted to see what My Quilt looked like…..

Finally, it worked.
Makes all my previous posts like even more stupid.

“I’m rolling my eyes at all of youse”

Surely you have been blogging long enough to know that it is only a matter of time before blog comments turn to childish idiocy.

I agree with Sarah and distracted. It’s exciting to read about your escapades, and comforting to know that you’re just a normal person. It reinforces that sex is a natural and amazing part of every human’s life (well, except maybe those who have devoted themselves to a higher power).

I’m going to stay out of the blog/journalism debate…

The problem with “serious” journalists is that they seem to know nothing. Whenever I read something on a subject I know something about, I’m nearly always struck at how wrong they’ve got it, and that just makes me wonder how veracious the rest of the paper is.

Oh - and they always edit to suit themselves. I’ve had letters published in the national press where single words have been removed in order to completely change the nature of what I was saying. In the end, though, so what? Nowadays, we have blogs. We can be our own editors. And I think that scares them.

Todays paper= Tomorrows fish ‘n chip wrapper.
But then maybe it’s not surprising that reptilles journalists should feel threatened by the wealth of talented writers out there doing it (often better!) for free!

Oh, that is just too funny. She obviously didn’t read all that much. Personally, (as you may have guessed from the fact that I’m here) I enjoy your blog. Your writing is good, the sexy parts are hot, and the not sexy parts are also interesting and well written. You have things to say on other topics than sex, like, oh, raising children on your own. Thats nothing to sneeze at.

I love Damian’s idea of filling in the asterisk’d words with our own. Sex Blog Mad Libs! Why didn’t someone think of this before?

And I’m perfectly happy with my quilty thing. ;-)

I’m curious — if she’d chosen to give report to some of your more salacious entries, would she have asterisked the entire thing? It’s as if, to her, you are simultaneously too boring and too vulgar.

For the record, I loved “Overripe Tomato,” since there was a lot there for me to empathize with, and a lot of useful information in the comments. (Yay cranberry tablets!)

Exactly what Janeway said… we can’t win. Other bloggers look down on sex bloggers because we apparently write about nothing but sex, which is, apparently, dull, and others like ol’ what’s-her-name think we’re dull if we mention the fact that we do more than have sex.

And yet… look at all the readers. There’s a disconnect somewhere. Just keep doing what you’re doing (which is, apparently, playing with quilts and asterisks).

On a more positive note your traffic from the antipodes has no doubt increased.
The page was ripped because they had “asterisked” very poorly and it would have looked ridiculous.
And it was our equivalent of “the times”.
Although it shames me to make that comparison because the NZ sunday star times is a very poor cut and paste that parrots the musings of our prime minister.
