That which does not kill you should RUN

Okay, and a few other things factor into DTV's recognition -- she was married to Marilyn Manson, who is himself not an unknown fella. And I think her fetish modeling -- which is not the same as burlesque performance -- broadened her audience as well. Therefore, more recognition.

t edit Marilyn Manson x-post! I love the b.org shared brain.

Because books.

So her consistency sets her apart from the pack?

That's definitely part of branding, yeah. I think so, anyway. Plus good PR, like Steph said, and the Marilyn Manson thing, and also the elusive "right place, right time" factor.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, Marilyn Manson was when she came to my attention, and I saw her and went, Wow! So then I noticed when she popped up again, which was pretty frequent from that point.

I mean, I think there's a celebrity element that happens or doesn't happen for people. And burlesque doesn't lend itself well to mainstream attention, in general, I don't think, so her getting through that let her build her brand, after the public had to deal with who she already was.

I swear it's like Monday planned a fucking surprise party for me today.

Please continue with the DVT talk. It's wonderfully distracting.

THE MASSAGE GIRL IS HERE. I mean, yes, it's just 15-minute shoulder massages, but I WILL TAKE ONE THANK YOU.

WHERE IS MY MASSAGE GIRL?

I mean, I admit I work out of my house, and if a massage girl showed up in the middle of a fucking snowstorm I'd be very startled indeed. But I'd still TAKE THE MASSAGE!

Totally. It's also payday, Supernatural day, and I'm treating myself to breakfast-for-lunch at the coffee shop across the street. WINNING.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

SO the coughing has lessened, but now I am all congested and blowing my nose like every 10 minutes. I sound like swollen head girl with a cold and will still have a coughing fit if I walk around much. I need to be at work today though, so I am here. bleargh.

Maybe I can get all important work done by the time my big boss get here at lunch and he will tell me to go home.
