I didn't know I had a daughter!

(Though it's true what they say about Mother's Day-- homemade gifts are the best!)

Making new friends, but keeping the old...  

One is silver, and the other gold!

Today I'm off to "Blood at the Beach" in Virginia Beach!  

If you're close, come!!

No excuse for my wack wig and pinhead answers on this one:  http://www.fangoria.com/new/fright-bytes-hits-shock-stock-with-christina-lindberg-american-horror-story-more/

Please bare in mind I'd just had my wig frisked and rained on while in & out of 3 airports in 3 days before doing this interview:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQrQoMy5wDc

Hello, Fresno!

Saw THIS last night with HER!

Wow!  The AHS Brazil fan site just rolled out a mini awards show, in which I won 3 categories:  Best supporting actor, Best breakthrough-actor, and Best makeup!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1KxO2IxGDE&feature=youtu.be&a

NOSSA, GENTE, OBRIGADA PELOS VOTOS!

Let the set dresser from Style Network's "XOX Betsey Johnson" raid my closet, then received this thank-you from BJ herself... 

(At one point, she was all I owned-- so yes, this is exciting for me!)  I can't wait to see my babies on TV!!  (And yes, I consider my dresses my babies.)  We're doing drinks next week!

NOTE TO SELF:  GET PEDICURE!  THEY WILL PHOTOGRAPH YOUR FEET.

Ginormous THANK YOU to James Bialkowski and all the other volunteers/workers/vendors/guests/fans who made Shock Stock '13 such a memorable weekend!

Killed two bottles of wine with Patricia Quinn last night, 

and now I'm seeing triple...  Let's just say one of us is NOT Irish!

Probably my favorite part of "Shock Stock" in Canada this weekend was meeting such adorable fans like these! 

Shocked and thrilled by the creativity Pepper has inspired!

Check out the artist:  http://www.melissapanth.ca 

She creates these wildly whimsical art pieces & dolls. 
Such a talent!

Shock Stockin' with the legendary Patricia Quinn 

and friends, old and new alike!

In honor of Equal Pay Day today, I'm reposting this very thoughtful interview re: Women in Comedy: http://uiwomenscenter.wordpress.com/tag/naomi-grossman/ Thank you, U of Idaho Women's Center, for all that you do for women (including me this weekend!).  

According to a fan at "Days of the Dead" yesterday, someone's been horroring around!

Last night's show went RIDICULOUSLY WELL!

Wow, what a warm welcome to U of Idaho!

Made the top story on the features page of Film Ink, Australia!

http://www.filmink.com.au/features/cult-favourite-/

This is nuts.  Someone my parents knew 50 years ago when they lived in Colombia just sent them this. From Bucaramanga's "Vanguardia Liberal."

At this point in the panel, someone interrupted me, yelling, "WE LOVE YOU, PINHEAD!"

MY CHARACTER'S FACE ON A FAN'S LEG:  CHECK!

These are a few of my favorite things...
No, actually, this is my favorite: Red Carpet at PaleyFest.

The audio was weird on stage so I didn't catch it (just as well, or I might have passed out), but here Ryan Murphy pays me THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENT: "We wanted someone who could go from 'Play with meee' to 'The hypotenuse of the square root...' easily."
(He's talking about me!!!)

Last year for St. Patty's Day, I celebrated in my own little drama-geek way:  I went to the theatre and saw Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" (starring James Cromwell). Little did I know I'd be telling him off on television just 6 months later...

I dreamt of this as a girl!

Great fun being on the AHS panel at PaleyFest '13!

For my friends (and father) who were too scared to watch, don't have cable, and/or whose dog ate their iTunes/Amazon/Netflix:  My "people" requested I compile a "Pepper reel," so now you can watch the highlights in just 2 minutes!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlu2u1np9d4

Tonight!  6pm Pacific/9pm Eastern, I'll be on the Fantasy Sideline Show on ESPN 1090 AM.  Listen in:  http://tobtr.com/s/4397481

My girl, Cara blogged about me too:
http://celebrityblackcard.blogspot.com/2013/02/american-horror-story.html

My buddy, Tenere blogged about me...  May be of interest to fellow Wildcats and/or actors not getting cast!

Somewhere in Sâo Paulo, a new Pepper was born!

Guess who's been invited to be on a panel with Ryan Murphy, Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe, Evan Peters, Brad Falchuk, Dante DiLoreto, and Tim Minear on closing night of PaleyFest?!?!

Check me out in last week's "Hollywood Reporter!"

Coming soon to a Horror Convention near you!

when to tell a guy you're bald, 

and why botox is bunk!

Sometimes when you play a scary character on a hit horror show, photographers contact you and convince you to do weird things...

Burlesque babes in bird cages with their boobies on fire!  Now that's what I call a birthday party!
