hear ye, hear ye
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 7, 2004
Feeling slightly left out of the current homosexual craze, female friends of lesbians are demanding the same recognition bestowed upon platonic pals of gay men. The much-touted "fag hag" is a universally-accepted member of society while her equally accepting lesbian-friendly counterpart has gone largely unnoticed.
In an effort to remedy this, Jess and Curly McDimple, the authors of Blind Cavefish and Ham & Cheese on Wry respectively, have decided to coin a catch phrase in the hopes that it will be absorbed into the mainstream along with the aforementioned "fag hag" and the ubiquitous -- albeit outdated -- "metrosexual."
After brainstorming and passing on "lessbian" and "sapphony," Jess and McDimple opted for the alliterative and clever "rug rat."
"We feel it's in the same fun-loving and innocuous spirit of its predecessor, fag hag," says Jess, the fashionable and quick-witted mastermind behind Blind Cavefish. "We hope to rank up there with 'bling bling,' 'Talk to the hand,' and 'Oh no you didn't!... except not as annoying."
"When the likes of Katie Couric or even Toni Senecal of the WB 11's News at Ten begin using this term, we will know our mission is complete," says McDimple, the duo's acid-tongued lesbian.
In addition to promotion on their respective weblogs, the women are relying on the viral nature of the blogging community as well as heavy use of the Comments and Trackback features common to most blogs to spread the word.
Adds McDimple, "We're not above carpet-bombing (no pun intended) comments sections and spamming those who post in these forums."
Blind Cavefish (http://www.blindcavefish.com) was founded in April 2003. It spun off Ham & Cheese on Wry (http://www.curlymcdimple.com) in April 2004. Both weblogs are updated daily and have attracted thousands of visitors monthly.
