IT'S WEDNESDAY!  

Won't you watch AHS?  

It makes Pepper sooo happy!

Headed to my first celebrity "gifting."  Excited!

Fun in the FOX party photo booth with 

AHS production supervisor, James Williams!

This is what Jane Lynch looked like tonight 

when she learned I play "Pepper."

Had a blast last night recording "The Fort" podcast.  

Episode details forthcoming!

Just got recognized naked at the gym.  Time to lob off the hair nob and work off that Pepper-pooch!

Very excited for the AHS wrap party tonight.  Then Sunday... Golden Globes!

Just booked my first "personal appearance" gig.

My duties:  sit pretty and sign autographs.

SHOCK STOCK, Ontario, Canada-- here I come!

I swear I'll stop-- something tells me George Clooney isn't blogging about this on his website-- though I only relatively recently quit cleaning the bathroom for free classes at my yoga studio.  So I'm gonna enjoy this:

I might be officially famous...
Someone just tweeted me a picture of her vagina.
Isn't that the touchstone?  Anonymous genitalia?

Look what the Three Kings brought me!

Well, that confirms it:  Kids, stay in school!  Finally used all that Portuguese I took in a Brazilian interview:  http://mundoahs.com/2013/01/entrevista-de-naomi-pepper-exclusiva.html 

6 months ago, this would have sent me into the ethers.  

It's still pretty freakin' cool.

I got my gift early!

SANTA COMES TONIGHT!
THEN PEPPER, A WEEK FROM WEDNESDAY!

Really?!  The Sunday night before Christmas Eve and I get an audition from a rep I'm not even signed with?  And here we thought Hollywood had shut down!  Bahahahahahaha!!!

23 years after joining SAG, I finally made health insurance.  Never so thrilled to pay a premium!

Survived a solid month of whirlwind meetings and finally signed with a fantastic manager.  Bring on 2013!

PEPPER'S BIG IN SPAIN!

"Breakout character of the season?" And I don't even think they mean my post-makeup face! http://alienbee.net/exclusive-interview-actress-naomi-grossman-talks-american-horror-story-asylum/

This is Asylum-insane. There's a group lobbying to have me host SNL:  http://www.facebook.com/groups/319880784791777/
I, of course, would be cool with just an audition!

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!
