I guess when you are your own mogul you get to call the shots with your hairdo.

Mogul is a strong word for fandom darling who's unknown by many and has a healthy backlash among a decent %age. I like her, but that's kinda overstating her niche.

The Walgreens shingles shingle says 98% of Americans have had chicken pox and are therefore at risk of shingles. They mean of the susceptible age, right? (I just found a scary site explaining that you couldn't get shingles if you got chickenpox, ergo/because (the direction is not important) the vaccine was responsible for an epidemic, and...how? What?) How much has the vaccine cut that down to?

apparently, the older you get, the more likely you will have shingles. it is apparently a scourge among those who are 80 or older.

which sucks because if you lived that long and have your wits, to have shingles blows.

I suspect shingles blows at any age.

Do they know whether or not the chicken pox vaccine can make one susceptible to shingles?

The CDC page I found said you're less susceptible than if you had the full-blown infection, but I don't remember numbers.

That makes sense. Thanks ita.

Totally overstates her niche, but then I use hyperbole as a rhetorical device with reckless abandon.

HOWEVER, I do think she is making a decent living doing her own biz. Plus Supernatural or Joss will write her into something on sheer affection.

I had chicken pox when I was 14. Guess I should get the vaccine. I had a friend who got shingles when she was 31; said it was horrible.

I had German Measles and Chicken Pox and Mumps as a kid. Two of those within a six week period of being very sick while being very young. Just a blur of fever and discomfort.

Plus Supernatural or Joss will write her into something on sheer affection.

Sheer affection and fanbase demand. I think at this point, SPN can't afford to not write her in in well-considered doses. She's female, she's sassy, she's ALIVE, and so far she's on the side of good, but you never do know with these things...

I think much of the backlash is gamers wanting to know why she's in their peanut butter. Plus, she's totes not that hot, not as hot as that other Wilde chick, why can't we have her?

They do have a sense of entitlement. There's movie star pretty and TV star pretty and she's plenty good enough in the latter category. By web series standards she's hotter than the sun. Especially with that new haircut.
