Vagina Monologues

Writing guidelines

Thank you Carson City community for selling out every performance of our first presentation of The Vagina Monologues. Thanks to the performers, the director, the stage crew, and especially to Wild Horse Theater:  We took a chance and it paid off.  Because of the colaboration of all these people volunteering their time for less than a month of rehearsal-to-performance, we have raised OVER $7500 for the local Domestic Advocates and victims of Hurricane Katrina (the "vagina" of the United States).  Most of all, thank you to the author, Eve Ensler.

Writing Guidelines

True Crime Fanatic, Get It In Writing!, and Reality Bytes REALLY Needs YOUR Help.  How do we make the switch from Microsoft FrontPage 2003 to Using the Mac?  We have two Apple laptops, two Apple desktop computers, two iPhones, two iPod Nanos, an iPod video, and an iPod Shuffle. 

Yet for our websites?  We had to purchase yet another Windows computer to use FrontPage because in all honesty, not only is it the most effective program we have used, but it's ease of use makes us work a bit harder.  But it's such a waste!  Using what Apple/Macintosh has given (and we also "test drove MANY programs) just takes about twenty times longer to do half the work AND we do not even know yet if it markets as well as FrontPage has. 

Please, if you know how to switch the two, combine them, or a much easier and still affordable way, email us.  We are a nonprofit and do NOT have positive income, keep it mind when making suggestions.  At this point, and for the past ten years, we have never been able to afford to hire someone to do a much better or even comparable job. 

Yet... with our simple ways and FrontPage, we have managed to help find several missing people, taught about domestic violence, made television and radio appearances, etc. It does work.  We feel with the right guidance, it could work even better. 

Thank you.  Please, email TCF, please.

Real Life Heroes

We like to think we'd take a bullet for a loved one-some of us go so far as to say it out loud. But when the moment comes, if ever, would you really?  Really, would you even have time to consider anything at all?

Only seven years old, Alexis Goggins took six bullets as her body became a shield for her mother-and she became our hero.

"...Parker's former boyfriend emerged from the shadows outside Parker's house and jumped into the vehicle. He then forced the friend to drive at gunpoint for several minutes.

Under the pretense of needing fuel, Parker's friend stopped at a Detroit gas station to call 911.

Inside the SUV, Parker pleaded with the gunman not to shoot. As he was about to open fire, Alexis cried, "Don't hurt my mother!" and jumped into her mother's arms..." (...continue Associated Press)

Seiletha Parker, 30, was shot twice.  She took a bullet in the side of her head and her arm.  She is doing very well physically.

"Alexis Goggins deserves to be more famous than Drew Peterson, Paris Hilton, Scott Peterson, O.J. Simpson, and all of the rest."  (...continue The Maverick Conservative)

Though she suffered more than severe injuries (including the use of an eye) Alexis is alive and recovering. True Crime Fanatic urges you to consider Alexis while writing out your monthly budget.  If everyone sends even just ONE DOLLAR - her family will see that the majority of people are everyday heroes, too.  God Bless Alexis and Seiletha Parker.

Listen up, AMERICANS If you are able to legally vote in elections (at any level, seriously, now, you LIVE HERE), you owe it to yourself and to your country to do it.  Heck, we even give you paid time off to go do it.  Take a friend, grab a bite to each (either before you vote for persuasion purposes, or after as a reward).

If you don't vote; don't complain, you haven't earned it.

Having trouble deciding who to vote for?  Not even sure if you favor any particular political party?  Check out WQAD, answer the questions honestly (you won't need to share these OR use them) and see how the candidates stack up against your envision for the future United States of America

Brianna Dennison: If the kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder weren't enough, police have admitted they found a pair of women's 'Pink Panther" panties close to wear Brianna was found.

Though there was no DNA linking the underwear to Brianna, there was a link to the serial rapist-turned-murderer.

ATTENTION Brianna's Family:  Carson City will soon be presenting The Vagina Monologues (March 7 & 8) and will be sharing a moment of silence in Brianna's name.  What I want to know: how do you pronounce her name correctly?  I have heard several different pronunciations as well as the nick-name of "Bri."  We want her name to be treated with respect.  Thank you.  Please email Editor @ True Crime Fanatic.com (all ONE email word)

Natalee Holloway:  "Is she famous?  Because I recognize her."  Out the mouth of babes.

"Yes, she is, but not for the reasons you might think.  She's famous because no one knows where she is."  I glanced her way to see if she was satisfied.  Never give more information than is needed when dealing with a child.  She nodded, then waited for me to go on.

"We are waiting to see if she is alive.  Someone is going to share important information.  Her family has missed her for a couple of years now."

RIP

Kyra, 11, you are gone way too soon. It's so unfair, mostly to us, who are stuck here in life without you.  Thanks for the joy you brought to my children's lives and all the entertainment you added in Carson City's performance art productions.

Guess who's back in the news?  Yep, it's Michael Jackson's music. We have included the YouTube.com Superbowl commercial here so you have something to look at while you continue to wait for us to get our stuff together again. 

If you really want to laugh, check out Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon's videos - a spoof on Bourne Identity, Damon getting mad at "running out of time" once again with Kimmel, and finally, Sarah Silverman's surprise video.  There's three, I recommend you watch them all if you don't mind laughing your butt off. 

Until later...
