Hey party people, If you’re not already following me on Twitter (@redpatterndress), you totes should! No, freals… not only will following me boost your emo cred, but it’ll also help find a cure for lactose intolerance. Okay, that last part isn’t entirely true, but it could be! Sorta. Not really. Gah!! Seriously, though, I’ve decided to run super-radtastic giveaways every time I add 100 followers. The winner of my first... Read More

Big Ups To DiNG

Holy balogna!! The feverishly handsome and awesomely brilliant John Oakes sent me the dopest tech skins that just-so-happen to pimp a lil’ book written by you-know-who. SQUEAL!! I can hardly contain my self-promotional pride. What do you guys think?? Is my MacBook well-dressed or what? #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1... Read More

Oklahoma, Okay!

When I was contacted by Dave at Oklahoma Lefty about doing an interview for him and his bitchin’ blog, I was stoked beyond words. Two of my dearest bros are from the lovely city of Edmond, so I feel like I’m kind of an Okie by association. I think the Q&A turned out awesome, especially because I heart being called “ultra-hilarious.” Score! I’m feverishly trying to do a million-and-a-half different things before I... Read More

Wish Upon A Shooting Star

The radtastic Miss Lauren Becker over at Shooting Stars Magazine did a lil’ Q&A with lil’ ol’ me. The online zine is super kick-ass and there are some amazing author interviews on there.

I’m talking about ground-breaking revelations, people. Also, if you aren’t... Read More

Chit Chat And Emo Girl Talk

I can’t tell you how flattered I was when the lovely Martina Butler from the Emo Girl Talk podcast asked me to be on her show. I must’ve been blushing for a week straight! We gabbed all about how babe-a-licious Jesse Lacey is and the best way to break into the book biz. The interview is live and streaming so take a trip over there and hear me pretend to know what I’m talking about. In other news of self-promotion, one of my besties... Read More

Au Revoir, New York City

Thanks to my new fave airline Virgin America, I’m currently cruising over my least fave city (Kansas City, MO) at 35,000 feet while surfing the interweb. No, it’s true. I’m using the internet from space! Okay, I’m not exactly in space, but I’m super-high in the sky and that’s close enough for me. I just spent the last nine days in New York City, where I spent most of my time partaking in the following activities: 1.... Read More
