Meet the New Hot Abercrombie Chick: Witty Sex Kitten

"How do you start a winning blog?" asked the WaPo yesterday. Forget what Bill at INDC says. Jeff G. comes closer, but misses the mark. The key to blogging is this: nipples.

Someone with a blog named Witty Sex Kitten dropped a comment today. What better way to attract attention in the sea of unread blogs than to put the phrase sex kitten in your title? Oh, but make sure that if you do sex kitten schtick you pose as a girl. This is crucial.

Seriously, there's good Witty Sex Kitten Schtick and there's bad Witty Sex Kitten schtick. What's the difference??

Start with the avatar. An avatar is a kind of visual image used to embody a person's online persona. For instance Moxie's boots, Beth's girl at the computer, or Little Miss Atilla's demure hottie.

Bad Witty Sex Kitten avatar:

Next if you're going to do schtick like this make sure you post an online picture of yourself. Take a lesson from HAC Amanda Doerty--post a picture of a hot chick and pretend that it's you! Cause there is something trite and boring about another dude discussing the metaphysical assumptions behind affirmative action, but there's something intriguing and interesting about a hot young thang discussing the ontology of gay marriage.

Last, make sure you know that there may be a big disconnect between the reasons you're blogging and the reasons your readers come back regularly. For instance, Amanda Doerty blogs because 'she' thinks 'she' has something important to say about politics and philosophy. However 'she' is well aware that 'her' consumers come to her blog to flirt with 'her', hence 'her' pic is on every page. Wonkette thinks she is witty, but her consumers read her stuff just waiting for the next anal sex reference. It's kind of like Howard Stern for the crowd living in their mother's basement. Moral of the story: make sure that either your fake pic is plastered on every page or you throw in plenty of reference to back door action. What you write is only tangential to the fantasy you project to your readers.

You know, I think I've learned something here today.......From this day, henceforth and forever, we shall be known as the Hot Lesbo Star Wars Report!! and I shall be known as Princess Brittney Spears. Here is my pic. I'm on the left. Toodles.

4 If you scroll down there IS a "virtual model" picture of her--complete with bewbies.

5 Gotta problem with Trey Parker and Matt Stone, eh? Oh well. I would have used a picture of Helen Thomas for my "Bad Witty Sex Kitten fake pic." Or Oliver Willis. Either way...

Posted by: Mark at December 13, 2004 07:17 PM (HQVag)

6 I don't think they print a pic of Willis small enough. Got to watch that bandwidth, you know!

Posted by: Rusty at December 13, 2004 07:38 PM (JQjhA)

7 I'm no fan of Helen Thomas but isn't it WAY over the top to compare her to the beyond-revolting Oliver Willis?

Posted by: Moxie at December 13, 2004 08:08 PM (tUFhb)

8 Apologies to Oliver Willis..and Shamoo. We need to apologize to Shamoo too.

9 How about the sure-fire "Iraqi Blonde?"

10 I just realized that the title bar in my IE window has this site as: "Hot Lesbo Star Wars Chick Pundit" Really going for the geek vote eh?

11 The Jawa Report has been faithfully renamed in my sidebar.

12 The Jawa Report has just been... ...DE-LINKED by me! What are you thinking, Dr. Rusty? Steve

13 So where are all the nipples???

Posted by: eagle_fan at December 13, 2004 09:50 PM (VEWdR)

14 Hey double toothpick--It's a joke. A mean joke. I'll change the name back some time tomorrow so don't go changing the sidebars!! I just wish I could see the look on people's faces when the go "Let's check out the Jawa....what the hey???"

15 Wow. Hmm. I'm a little overwhelmed. And shocked. You're like the top of the food chain big hairy gorilla or lion or some shit in the ecosphere of blogorithms (fuck I don't even know what the hell that means) and I'm like an amoeba or a one celled organism, possibly just like chicken feed, and you're devoting a whole post to me and my stupid little week old blog about my quest not to be masturbated in front of in public and receive my damn vibrator in the mail? Thanks and stuff! A few responses: 1. So I'm hoping my blog "schtick" (which is no schtick actually, all real life-the Jelly O finally arrived today! will be blogging a review of it ASAP) at least somewhat lived up to your inital "nipples" attraction/expectations. Now I fear the pressure might make me cave. And the 50 hits in 1 day concerns me my humor may not be up to par. 2. Do NOT expect a pic. ever, not even going to be cheezy and put up a fake pic., I go to law school, I have a future career presumably, a respectable one (unless I don't get a job in which case stripping is my back up, logically) and don't want all my co-workers to be privvy to these sorts of details. 3. If anybody wants to submit avatars other than a fucking mouse (no offense Rusty but a chick mouse with a garter on her thigh doesn't exactly like give off the vibe I'm going for) you're welcome to e-mail em to me. And you need to give me directions on how to put the thing on my website cuz I'm clueless. 4. Did not realize the title would be such a tease. Considering there about 8 mil. blogs with the word "chick" or "girl" in them I figured I was par for the course. If you read my intro you will see I would've gone with Tales of a Female Pimp but it was taken by some schmuck that hasn't put shit on her site. 5. Thank you, I will take the tip and make sure not to wax philosophically on anything political and/or news related other than anal sex and threesome's. I think I have made it quite clear from all 8 of my posts that I had no such intentions. Thanks for the shout out. Do I at least get a fucking blogroll for this?

16 Damn, Rusty, I didn't know Chelsea Clinton had a blog.

Posted by: Eric at December 13, 2004 10:02 PM (lK7Sh)

17 She's VIRTUAL! Virtual you probably looks like Michael Moore, eh? Ahhh I can see the hate-mail start to roll in now. *sigh*

Posted by: Wittysexkitten at December 13, 2004 10:25 PM (xGwp4)

18 I like it. It works as a kind of expression of male rage at not having breasts, being able to have kids, flirt with men heterosexually, or wear fishnets very well. Also works as a tossed-off sort of smartass post. (Which is, of course, how it was really meant.) And FWIW, I think you should keep the new title: it's you.

20 I thought it was funny. 'Course, I've been labeled a semi-perv by Jeremy.

21 All godd things must come to an end. Henceforth, we are back to the Jawa.

Posted by: Rusty at December 14, 2004 10:08 AM (JQjhA)

22 okay, now I'm really confused. you seem to have made someone very upset. someone named wittysexkitten. because you made fun of the suggestive/appealing pics people put on their sites like the not-at-all-irked attila girl. and you pushed traffic and highlighted her site in a typical blog way that most sites, old or new, would envy. ohhhh... maybe she's not really mad, just keepin' up the fight for appearances. okay. back on track now.

23 Tee Bee for fuckssake I said thanks to Rusty for all the linkwhoring he did for me without me having to suck him off for it! I was not pissed. I was slightly concerned he was mocking me but I can take it...I have a good sense of humor...unless you insult my mom. Oh wait, no, she's fair game too.

Posted by: Wittysexkitten at December 14, 2004 12:48 PM (vHCZy)

24 somehow I must have missed it. but then I was confused to begin with.

Posted by: tee bee at December 14, 2004 01:25 PM (q1JHF)

25 if that amanda chicks pic is fake, she sure did it up right with a lot of them. I think she'd make a mint in amature porn.

Posted by: Greg at December 15, 2004 08:25 AM (FVNT+)

26 Dude, Amanda is totally fake. The blogosphere exposed her almost a year ago.

Posted by: Rusty at December 15, 2004 01:13 PM (JQjhA)

27 Shameless plug for my own related site: http://gullyborg.typepad.com/weblog_archive/2004/10/see_hot_picture.html And interestingly enough, I am also a law student. It seems like several of the great blogs I read daily are run by law students or lawyers--and in every case I started reading them before identifying them as members of the legal community. Maybe there is something about the lawyerly type and wanting a soap box from which to pontificate?
