The low slung gin fizz is making news in Philly.
She may have Hindsight, but I see a novel in her future!
Even those tough, seen it all, not easily impressed gents in the Book review section noticed!

Hindsight ... ? OMG, what a perfect title. EXCELLENT!
Love the whole concept and the writing - congrats!
Way to go MG! I loved it.
Ha ha ha, that was cute. Well done!
Ooh, congrats, M.G!
Wow. That's great! Thanks for linking it--
Congrats...I'm in Bucks County on weekends and I'll pick up a copy of Citypaper this Saturday. Best of luck.
Our own MG! Way to go!
Congratulations MG! Love your choice of detail; ah plastic-covered sofas.
Cheers *clinks glass*

... is the direct link for when the front page changes.
And congrats! You got a kudos from a... Biddle... on your verisimiltude, which is as close to royalty as Philly gets.
MG, I love it! Excellent writing.

Bravo! As a Boston Italian we had orange velvet, but I get the brown! May St. Francis of ASSissi bless your writing career.
Oh, yeah! That's some yummy stuff, MG. Big congrats, girl!
wv: smenita. Friend of yours, MG?
Yay MG! Congrats!
Me: Low-slung? Still? I got an underwire.
Sultry, off-stage voice, likely bare-chested and sarong-wrapped: Hey, MG! Who order the double-barreled crane?
As go all my fantasies - *poof*
Thanks, everybody!
Miss Snark, I'm honored.
I read all the first lines, and yours was the only one that made me want to click on the whole story. Well done.
It's all about connecting. My mother ironed underpants too, but since we were independent-minded Germans, I flew the coop at 22.
I wish you much success, MG!
Oh, MG, I loved it. Right up my cobblestoned alley. Congrats.
very very nice, mg.
Good on ya.
Here here! MG is as amazing writer.
What's an underwire?
Writing software program? Wal-Mart have 'em?
Haste yee back ;-)
Yea, and Frank Wilson, the Book Review editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer gave Mindy a shoutout on his blog Books, Inq.
Hey anon who got "smenita" as your word verification. I got that one, too, for this. I'm convinced it relates to MG's story somehow.
Nice job. You're #1 in our book.
Fantastic story!!! Congratulations!
Now that's a native Fluffyan writing, or faking it extremely well. Kudos.
An underwire is a medieval torture device which has, as yet, escaped the notice of the Geneva convention. The War Against Gravity (WAG) takes no prisoners.
I got Smenita, also. She's a cousin. From Jersey.
you never call.
you neve write.
some cousin.
My ma warned me you'd come to no good...and now, look atcha..
no big hair.
no acryclic talons.
Right again Ma!
I dig your first person narrative
a
lot.
Dear Smenita,
I had big hair in the eighties, before I ran out of mousse. I nearly put my eye out with the acrylic talons and finally gave them up after an unfortunate shoulder pad deflation incident.
Face it. I'm hopeless in the fashion stakes. Look at my hair! It's not even frosted. Why do you think I always stand in the back for family portraits?
M.G.
Late to the trail...those damn optic cables...I still have problems using Google even, and not being able to Google is like the IRS not taking your taxes
Way to go Mindy! HINDSIGHT is probably giving a lot of blog readers here (agents, editors) some FORESIGHT
