Mad props to Mad Monster Party in Charlotte, NC for a scary-fun weekend!  Congrats to the winners of the best-costume-contest-I've-ever-witnessed, and thanks to my wonderfully dear friends, Linda Gutin & Tamar Raucher for the visit!

I'll say it again, I have THE coolest, most creative fans.  Thank you, Charlotte!

Doing a Reddit "AMA" tomorrow from 1-2pm PST.  Your chance to ASK ME ANYTHING!!!

Funny that this mostly nonverbal character would yield SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS; among them, at MY OWN ALMA MATER, Northwestern University!!!




March 23, 2015

Boy George just followed me on Twitter, and Zach Galligan just invited me to a red carpet.  Waiting for Debbie Gibson to call me "out of the blue," and make my wildest 80's dreams come true...

Ben Woolf stayed in Russia 4 days after I left, and each day he wrote me long emails, recounting the days' adventures.  In fact, he used to text me after every trip I took: "How was your flight?" (And I travel A LOT.)  We were supposed to take 3 trips together in March alone, including (if I'm not mistaken) the one I'm on right now.  

Apparently my eulogy yesterday went well... People cried for most of it, then "screamed with laughter during the rape part."  Ben would have liked that.  I was sick to have missed it, though knew carrying on with my commitments is what he would have wished.  There was no question he was with me, signing autographs in spirit, as I was with those you, honoring him yesterday in Santa Barbara.

What feels like a lifetime ago, I would pour my Spanish-teaching-side-job-at-the-time earnings into writing/producing/starring in silly, comedic shorts, in the effort to keep creative, sane, and in the game.  I recently learned that among them, WIGGA PLEAZE!, has been named a "Faux Favorite," to be screened as part of a 10-year retrospective at the Faux Film Festival, April 3-5, at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland, Oregon.  If you're in the area, GO!  If not, WATCH HERE (and get to know me better)!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0uQ1vtn3pc&list=PL4941DD9CF3E78893

In a sequined straight-jacket (like I belong).  Mad props to photographer Cathryn Farnsworth, makeup artiste Dallas Dinnocente, and stylist Holley Wolfe for KILLING it during our shoot yesterday!

I was all smiles on Adam Carolla's show yesterday!  (I also clammed up & blushed for most of it.)  Hear him rant/me be bashful (first time for everything), as we discuss Jimmy Kimmel's pee-hole, etc, here:  http://adamcarolla.com/naomi-grossman-and-matt-atchity/

I'd like to thank the TV Academy/Primetime Emmys for the awesome "Evening with the Women of American Horror Story" last night!

I'm in this new horror movie, whose trailer's EXPLODING on Fangoria's feed. (Their most viewed article of 2015!)  Doesn't it look skeery?  http://www.fangoria.com/new/exclusive-trailer-puts-you-in-the-chair-with-roddy-piper-zach-galligan-et-al/

Monster-Mania Convention, you sure know how to make a freak feel welcome!  Thanks for the wonderful weekend!

Among the highlights of this weekend's Monster-Mania Convention was when "The Name Game" (as shadowed by TNP - Philly's Own Rocky Horror Cast) SPONTANEOUSLY CONSUMED MY BODY AND PROPELLED ME UP ON STAGE.  (Fast-forward to Pepper Pepper Bo Bepper, around the 1:30 mark-- shortly thereafter, the crowd, and I, GO WILD!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxoWyGZwhcg

I just wrote a eulogy for Ben Woolf, and found myself cracking up at all the anecdotes I can't include.  Here's one:
In the midst of shooting "Freak Show," he texted, "I just got raped."  Now, I knew he was not a stellar speller, so I responded, "You mean, 'wrapped?'"  That started the joke.  From that moment on, it was "What time do you think we'll be raped?"  and "Wow, you got raped late!" and "I can't wait for the rape party!"  Definitely not eulogy material-- but thought fans might appreciate.

It may have been cold outside, but what a warm reception in Pittsburgh!

Missing our Meep in Pittsburgh this weekend.  Ben Woolf was supposed to be here.

Felt great to laugh last night with my fellow freaks & personal appearance peeps!

Dunno if you can see this, but Angela Rocco Photography just gifted me some PEPPER JEWELRY!  With a different Pepper face on every stone!  And it gets better... Moments later, totally coincidentally, @StacieRumain gifted me a PEPPER JEWELRY BOX!  Go to www.greatstuff2730.etsy.com and www.WitchyShadows/etsy.com for your very own!

I'm uncharacteristically inarticulate in this behind-the-scenes footage, but I'm also uncharacteristically HOT!!! (As a feminist, I SWEAR there is no connection between the two.)  WATCH ANYWAY, without judgement nor tight pants! ;)  https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8ckOEt73Js
