You all know how I feel about making less-than-gleeful posts on my blog. However, I do feel it is important that you hear this from me, not elsewhere and taken out of context.

I have learned that a group of people is engaged in an online campaign to harm my company. They deliberately spread  rumors and re-publish false information that I “defraud my customers”, call them “idiots”, have poor customer service, etc. Everybody knows I bust my hump to ensure everyone is happy! But that’s not all. They also began posting instructions encouraging people to file fraudulent PayPal claims and commit mail fraud.

All this has gone too far. This is why we’ve decided to take action. What they are doing is not merely ignoble, it is unlawful. We are not planning to sue anyone for money. In fact, it will cost us money that could be invested into more awesome Lime Crime products! But if a legal battle is the price for our dignity, we will do it without hesitation.

I’m sure this will be twisted around and used against me in an attempt to pass it off like I’m the bully trying to ’silence fair bloggers who simply chose to voice their opinion’. However, there is a big difference between saying you didn’t like something VS implying a company engages in illegal activity, & going out of your way to damage its reputation! Everyone has the right to express their opinion – I am exercising it right now, by posting this message. But just because you are doing it online, anonymously, or in a different country, doesn’t exempt you from the responsibility for your words.

I want you all to know that I don’t enjoy doing this. I believe that most issues in life can be resolved without lawyers’ involvement. However, it’s become very clear that these people see online bullying as a game, and openly revel in the attention they’re getting. It’s my own fault partially – if you let a bully bully you for too long without fighting back, they begin to think they have the right to. Well, I will not stand for this any longer. I’m going to stand up and fight, and hope you can do this with me!

Welcome to November’s DDBD! If you are new to the blog, it’s a little tradition we have when each month where I ask you a question and you give me your answer – in exchange for a chance to win a mystery package! The only way to find out what’s in the box is to win it.

To enter, answer this (and this month’s question is a little strange):

How well do you fit within your gender? If you’re a girl, do you display behaviors that could be considered ‘boyish’, and vice versa?

My answer: On the outside, I fit (and quite possibly supersede) the expectations of what a typical female is supposed to be. I love dresses and makeup and color pink. On the inside, it’s a struggle: sometimes I feel very much like a boy stuck in a girl’s body! I cross-dress a lot for that reason, haha. I think gender-deviance & ambiguity is fun and find it quite attractive on others!

Your turn, deerlings! You have one week to submit your answer – please post it in comments, not by email – those won’t count! Winner will be picked at random and announced on Monday, November 23.

This was featured on MTV Buzzworthy. They wanted me to talk about celebrity trends and create a look based on one (I was terrified because I’ve never done a video tutorial before!). I chose my favorite trend – dark eye + statement lipstick, as seen on Rihanna, Katy Perry, partially Adam Lambert and of course my favorite, Lady Gaga. Here you go!

Eyes: Elf magic dust | Lips: Countessa Fluorescent lipstick, which is even brighter in real life!
