WALKED TO YOGA from my new place in HALF the time it takes me to DRIVE from the old.  You know what that means:  less time in traffic, more time in Eka Pada Galavasana in my Shama Jade unitard, of course!

No snow, far from family, not a tree in sight... And yet, this has got to be my merriest Christmas yet!  For TODAY I woke up A HOMEOWNER, for the first time IN MY VERY OWN PLACE!!!

On this Christmas Eve, I can't stop thinking about Rose's two kids, Shelby & Luke, dressed here as orphans for our "Orphans" episode.  It all just rings a little too true, having just lost their mother themselves... Please help them through this difficult time:  http://www.gofundme/RoseSiggins

Grazie, Ravello Magazine, per l'intervista!  http://www.ravellomagazine.com/da-oltreoceano-naomi-grossman-protagonista-del-successo-televisivo-american-horror-story-di-ryan-murphy/

Today we say our final goodbyes to Rose Siggins.  #AHS mourns with her children, Shelby & Luke.  Help them move forward:  http://www.gofundme.com/RoseSiggins

Ahhhhh, postxmasshoppingasana!  Infinitely easier and more pleasant than braving the crowds at the mall!  (And why bother when you can just get everybody unitards at www.shamajade.com?!

Happy Birthday, Mom!  You're still as beautiful as ever.  I, conversely, am now bigger than your hand!

Rose Siggins and I shared many, many laughs (this one among them).  I can only hope she's looking down (our cleavages) and laughing.

Rose Siggins never spent a SINGLE SECOND feeling sorry for herself, so neither can we!  (Although I admit I've had my moments this week.)  Her strength and smile truly serve as a reminder and inspiration to us all... Now, onto having a great weekend and happy holidays, like she would want!

This week in New Orleans, I was reminded of the wall of our production office for "AHS: Freak Show."  Each time one of us "died" (on the show), we were turned upside-down.  Bittersweet to see us all right side-up, in retrospect.  

Another memory of Rose, and our beloved band of freaks:

I remember once visiting Rose in the hospital while we were shooting "Freak Show"...  When I entered her room, I was struck by its diversity:  there was Emmy & Oscar winner, Jessica Lange, Emmy nominee, Sarah Paulson, Rose (who, until only recently had been an auto-mechanic), and me... all brought together out of the common concern and love for this woman.  I though, "wow, what a great group" -- not just within those four wall (though that too) -- but that cast and crew, in general. I'm so grateful to have had that time with them, and Rose, in particular.  

I threw down my own personal, second line for Rose last night.  She would not want me moping!  Thank you, Damien & Devin Joiner for replacing the dirge with a brass band.  Rose would've approved. https://www.facebook.com/naomi.grossman.5/videos/vb.695503801/10153416385178802/?type=3&theater

I loved Rose Siggins very much.  Pepper, alternatively, loved her body double.  A LOT.  Here is their sex-tape... Rose derived endless enjoyment from such on-set silliness.  I'm so glad I have this to look back on and laugh and remember her by.  https://www.facebook.com/naomi.grossman.5/videos/vb.695503801/10153414470868802/?type=3&theater

46 weeks ago, I posted this photo on Instagram, and captioned it, "THESE ARE MY PEEPS!"  Since then, we've lost TWO of them.  I know it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all... I just feel like I'm doing an inordinate amount of loving and losing lately.  :(

I regret to say our dear friend and co-star, Rose Siggins passed away this morning.

I feel like Elsa Mars said it best:  "The death of a beloved monster is always a sorrow, but never a surprise.  If oddly-formed organs or a random physical anomaly doesn't claim them, then it is the sheer density of their blaze.  A cary's life burns brighter than most.  It is bound to extinguish sooner."

Please help support her family during this difficult time: https://gofundme.com/RoseSiggins

I am genuinely verklempt!  The forever fashion-forward Dora Landa surprised me with this box of silk sexiness, apparently "moved by my talent and inspired by my fearless style."  I, dear madams, am inspired by the beauty before me, as well as your lovely generosity!

Hear horror-heroes, Adam Green, Joe Lynch & I fanboy/girl all over each other in this super-fun podcast:  http://geeknation.com/podcasts/the-movie-crypt-ep-133-naomi-grossman/

Of course it's better to give than receive, but getting a HAND-KNIT & EMBROIDERED "Freak Show" scarf from my new friend & fan, Casey Welsby was quite nice!

You guys, this is Nicole Behanna.  She's a fan... whose style I dug when we met the last time I was in Pittsburgh.  So I gave her a bunch of oversized t-shirts, just to see what she could do; she, in turn, made me this super-sexy top (among others)!  Check her out!!! @MorbidDelusionsDesigns

Feeling the love in Pittsburgh! 

-At Steel City Comic Con

Holy capitol, Pittsburgh!  Nearly lost my panties at Primanti's!

Art is imitating my life!  So glad I hadn't seen last night's ep of AHS: Hotel when I stayed in this "presidential suite" last week... Complete with 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, bar, and 2 random rooms for no reason, this "room" had limited light-switches, and most SURELY a secret catacomb of body parts behind the armoire!!  Relieved to be back in my humble home without vaults!

'Sup, yinz!  http://www.steelcitycon.com

Bye you'uns, Brethren!

Because apparently the Amish need Pepper's autograph too!  

Happy #SmallBusinessSaturday!  Did anyone spot me sporting (kick-ass small business) Lindsay Lowe Eyewear in the limited, Star Wars edition of "Screem Magazine" on the shelves of Barnes & Noble #BlackFriday?

I'm a pinhead when it comes to east coast-geography, though Lancaster, PA looks to be quite close to a lot of you! ;)  https://www.facebook.com/events/1658081251140223/

Watch him whip, watch me Na-na!  

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

WAY BACK at Parker Jr. High School, just outside Denver, circa 1990, I was cast in the title role of our school's production of "The Bad Seed."  Tonight, I met the ORIGINAL "Rhoda," Patty McCormack, who was OSCAR NOMINATED for said role in 1956 (at the age of 10)!  I swear I've seen that movie a hundred times...  Best of all, she's also seen AHS, and is a fan of mine!

Kind words from "Crushable:" "I can't help thinking that everything would be made better by the brief appearance of either Jessica Lange or Pepper (Naomi Grossman)":  http://www.crushable.com/2015/11/19/entertainment/television/american-horror-story-hotel-episode-7-flicker-recap/

We should do this at every Comic Con:  http://nbc16.com/news/local/comic-con-celebrities-pay-pediatric-patients-a-surprise-visit

Among my many adventures last week in Europe (thanks to The Dark Zone Studios' generous invite to the Weekend of Horrors), I VERY BALLSILY weaseled my way onto a German movie set!  "Sky Sharks" is a "Nazizombiehorrorsharksploitation film," coming soon to a screen near you!

Angelenos:  Join us tomorrow night!

So, I'm in the hospital... But it's not how it sounds!  Just hanging with a Ghostbuster, Power Ranger, WWE Hall of Famer, and the Portland Superheroes Coalition, as we visit some super strong kids!

This week, Amsterdam set the fun-bar quite high...

The Dam Square in Amsterdam dates back to the 12th Century; this friendship, 882 years thereafter.  

Sunday morning family fun!
