I had my first hate mail :
"you suck", "stay away",
"Women doing political jokes ... NOT funny"
2 days later I met my first 2 fans !
Not my mom and dad, but complete strangers.
"Is it you?", "oh my God, it is really you!",
"Maria, I told you it’s really her"
"aaaaaaaaaaaa" ( hysterical scream )
"You are awsome", "love your work"
"we laught our butts off"
A very wierd week !
At that point I thought :
"Peggy, let do something crazy"
"Get yourselve a Myspace".
