Great new blog discoveries (Sharing the love for lady bloggers edition)

Fringe Pop is a blog dedicated to just what the title suggests, stuff on the fringes of pop culture. Astrid, the uber cool chick who writes it, is a lover of vintage pulp and other neat old stuff. Highly recommended if you're in to the lurid and naughty. I'm ready to proclaim Astrid the high priestess of vintage pulp.

The super cool, cute, and crafty Erin over at Blogging is for Dorks is rockin' my blog world these days. She's smart, funny, and her and her family are almost unbearably cute. She writes about a plethora of stuff which is why I love her so and she's been known to leave a comment here too.

I just found the blog How did I get here? today through my fellow atheist blog bud Lemmy Caution's blog. Forever your girl, who writes How did I get here?, is into Project Runway so I know she and I will be great blog buds. She's also into being a Lutheran, but since she's on the correct side of the gay/les issue in in that church I'll let her religious stuff slide.

Who's swagging me now?

A certain blogger who shall remain nameless remembered a comment I left on her blog about how much we like Penfolds wine here at Monkey Central.  So lo and behold this blogger sent me a bottle of Penfolds along with a corkscrew in honor of my one year blogaversary!

How freakin' cool is that?  How freakin' cool is she?  

So Ms. YouKnowWho, thanks very much for the lovely gift of the wine!  We'll be opening it and having it with dinner tonight!  (Check your gmail account Ms. YouKnowWho because I sent you an email.)
