			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1953" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2012/03/saving-superalisa/broken-leg/" rel="attachment wp-att-1953"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1953" title="broken leg" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/broken-leg-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Here&#39;s my broken leg, after the surgery!</p></div>
<p>Dear Internets,</p>
<p>I spent the first week after I broke my leg at Joy&#8217;s house. I had a lot of pain. I was worried about over-stepping. I was worried about exhausting her. I was embarrassed because of all the help I needed. I was hungry, and it was hard for me to get to the kitchen. I was dirty. I was poor. I had to move, and I wasn&#8217;t allowed to walk for another 6-8 weeks.</p>
<p>As my doctor explained it, I had blown out the back half of my left ankle. And they had to use screws, plates and wire to put all the tiny chips of bone back together. But it wasn&#8217;t just that. My good leg was now my bad leg.</p>
<div id="attachment_1954" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2012/03/saving-superalisa/attachment/0001/" rel="attachment wp-att-1954"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1954" title="0001" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/0001-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">They gave me an open cast, wrapping it in a few ace bandages. That way the foot wouldn&#39;t swell bigger than the cast.</p></div>
<p>My leg had been opened up, and the bones mended. It was in a cast. And the doctor told me under no circumstances was I to walk on it, or even rest it on the ground. He didn&#8217;t have to tell me that. After surgery your leg swells up if you lower it beneath your heart. I couldn&#8217;t lie flat in bed for more than ten minutes before the pain would start cascading down. I had to keep it elevated at all times.</p>
<p>As a cripple: once you realize you have to go to the bathroom, you lie in bed for 10 minutes, (because sitting up is too exhausting and painful, you will lie down for the first month after surgery) you&#8217;re gaging your pain, trying to figure out if you need to take a pain pill before you go, or if you should wait. How long will it take? Will the painkiller make you dizzier? Will it knock you out before you get back to bed? Eventually you decide.</p>
<p><a href="http://superalisa.com/2012/03/saving-superalisa/shower/" rel="attachment wp-att-1957"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1957 alignright" title="shower" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/shower-150x150.jpg" alt="This is me, fresh from a much needed shower. And my walker. I look exhausted. I don't know if you can tell." width="150" height="150" /></a>Hopping from your bed to the bathroom takes concentration. You&#8217;re using a walker, and one leg, trying to keep your broken leg above the floor, looking out for things that may trip you. In the 5 minutes it takes for you to hop from your bed, to the bathroom, your leg has swollen painfully inside your cast. By the time you&#8217;re sitting on the toilet, it&#8217;s throbbing. So, it takes more concentration than normal to pee. And if you have to poo? Pushing sends blood flow downwards. So, a good shit will make your broken bone swell even more. The longer your pee takes, the harder it is to hop back to your bed, because your mind is kinda full of pain. But, you&#8217;ve been in bed for a while now. And so you always take a few extra minutes to enjoy the bathroom. Because it&#8217;s not your bed. And you miss not being in bed.</p>
<p>So the hop back is harder, and you have to concentrate, to make sure you don&#8217;t fall, or trip on something. If you have to sit down between the bathroom and the bedroom, your leg swells up even more. You may need the rest, because your unbroken leg is holding all of your weight, and the strain is making that half of your ass twitch in a scary way. But the longer you sit, the more it hurts too. You&#8217;re sweating and panting by the time you actually lay down again. Each bathroom trip means 2 hours of laying down, with your foot elevated above your head, in order to get the swelling down to a manageable level.</p>
<div id="attachment_1955" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2012/03/saving-superalisa/attachment/1955/" rel="attachment wp-att-1955"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1955 " title="*-+" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/+-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My beautiful sister, who bathed, fed and watered me back to health</p></div>
<p>Three bathroom trips a day were about all I could manage. I couldn&#8217;t get myself water, or make myself food. So before Joy left in the morning, she would put as much food next to me as she could. Like leaving a food dish next to the sleeping form of an old dog. So he didn&#8217;t have to walk across the room.</p>
<p>For the first few days, I cursed myself for not making more friends. I had just moved to Seattle, 3 months before. But I&#8217;d been visiting all summer, and before that, for years. Why hadn&#8217;t I made more friends? Why hadn&#8217;t I put more effort into relationships? I obsessed over being dependent on Joy. And she obsessed over it too.</p>
<div id="attachment_1950" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2012/03/saving-superalisa/carly/" rel="attachment wp-att-1950"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1950 " title="carly" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/carly-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">My friend Carly, who checked on me, brought me video&#39;s and cheered me up relentlessly</p></div>
<p>But by the end of the first week, my fears had dissolved. I may not have made a lot of friends, but the friends I&#8217;d made were kind and went out of their way to help me. During the day, enough people would stop by, that I was fed and watered, and almost never bored. Sparkle Pussy, Joy&#8217;s boyfriend, Prince Eric, my friends Colin, Carly, Trevor, Timmy and Pia all chipped in to help me get through the day.</p>
<p>Seattle has given me the gift of friends who will hang out with me even when I&#8217;m crippled It&#8217;s like that Alanis Morisette song “That I would Be Good”.</p>
<div id="attachment_1956" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/71730749/f-feelings"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1956 " title="feelings" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/feelings-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is how I felt about my fucking feelings most of the time.</p></div>
<p>Which is another aspect of this broken leg thing that&#8217;s kind of bullshit. I&#8217;m so fucking emotional. Between the pain and the painkillers, my complete vulnerability and having to ask people for stuff EVERY DAY. “Can you get me some water? Can you get my pants? Can you help me shower? Can you bring me some food?” And all of my new relationships were tested, and I was so fucking grateful when they came through. All of which left me scared, nervous, embarrassed, grateful, hopeful, sentimental, loving, and a little horrified at my condition, at the same time, all the time. Feeling all of those goddamn feelings has made me do insane things, like finding an Alanis Morisette song which completely describes my relationship. And then saying that. On the Internets. Where everyone can read it and laugh.</p>
<p>Added to all this was me and Joy. Living together. One of us completely dependent on the other. Like a lot of sisters we fight constantly. But even when we&#8217;re not fighting, even when we are laughing together, some silent tension keeps us at odds.</p>
<p>Our forced time together helped me untangle some of this. I realized that I wish she were an entirely different person. And she thinks that I do stupid things. The other person I wish she was used to exist. But it was 20 years ago. Back then I liked her, but I wished our lives were different, our parents less abusive, or at least richer, so we could be comforted with money when their damage got to be too much. So I&#8217;ve been trying to wish things different all along. Back then, Joy still thought I did stupid things.</p>
<p>I think that living in her house, utterly depending on her made me realize that while she has fundamentally changed since we were small, some of those changes are good. And after meeting my friends, and packing and moving all of my stuff, and making decisions with me for the last month, I think Joy has decided that not EVERYTHING I do is stupid.</p>
<p>I think, for the first time, we started to see ourselves in each other. She fed me, bathed me, started moving all of my stuff out of Homoasis, worked 40 hours a week at her job, spent time with her boyfriend and worked on her side projects (She organizes charity events in her spare time, for spare cash). After two weeks of all of that, she started to fall apart. But falling apart didn&#8217;t slow her down. It was the first time I&#8217;ve ever seen anyone besides me do that. I found it endearing. And alarming. Because while she charged full speed ahead, I knew she was crashing into a wall of her own limitations. Soon.</p>
<p>I hate medicine. And I have a deep and abiding fear of becoming addicted to opiates. This fear translates into amnesia. I forget about painkillers, because I never really consider them an option. I don&#8217;t have any Tylenol in my house because I never remember to take it. When my leg isn&#8217;t broken, if I&#8217;m in pain, then I ignore it. If the pain gets really bad, I slow down; taking longer and longer to accomplish tasks. Which annoys me. So, I call myself a pussy, and try to make myself speed up. Eventually, my body gives up, and there&#8217;s nothing my mind can do to get it going again. This usually results in me crying and yelling at myself. Eventually, I smoke a little weed, which calms me down enough to help me realize “Oh. I&#8217;m in pain. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m going slow. I think I need to quit for now, and rest.” and then I go to sleep.</p>
<p>Did you notice how at NO POINT, I took any kind of medicine? Yeah. That&#8217;s literally my process. While my leg was broken, it went a little differently. Usually Joy or someone else was there by the time I&#8217;d get to crying. And they&#8217;d say “Take a pain pill, you idiot.” And then I would, and things would get better. For about 15 minutes, until I fell asleep. After a while she would say really annoying things like “Do you know how upset it makes me when you don&#8217;t take your pain medication?”</p>
<p>Apparently, Joy pulls that kind of shit too. On her own body. Which is kind of impressive, because she has Fibromyalga. So, it takes a little more than a “Don&#8217;t be a pussy” pep-talk to get her moving when she&#8217;s in pain. After a while I reminded her of herself so much that she called an old boyfriend. And apologized. “I&#8217;m taking care of Alisa. And she&#8217;s acting exactly like me. And I&#8217;m starting to realize how difficult I was.”</p>
<p>Luckily, when Joy broke, Carly and Trevor and I were all hanging out, talking shit about people we know. We all looked at each other, with wide worried eyes. She had tried to make a joke out of her chiropractor bill; not realizing that it wasn&#8217;t even remotely funny. Joy is as charismatic as I am. She can tell a joke. That was when I realized she&#8217;d hit the wall.</p>
<div id="attachment_1949" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2012/03/saving-superalisa/trevor/" rel="attachment wp-att-1949"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1949 " title="trevor" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/trevor-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The lovely and fantastic Trevor, who took me into his home even when he didn&#39;t have to.</p></div>
<p>She left the room and I said “I&#8217;m literally breaking her!” Trevor nodded “Yes. We can&#8217;t let this continue. Why don&#8217;t you come stay with me at my house?” I was really surprised. Who invites a cripple to crash on their couch? It&#8217;s crazy. Trevor is a wonderful person, but we were casual friends. Not “I&#8217;ll help you shower when you are filthy, smelly and incapable of doing it alone.” or “I will feed you every meal you need, and let you watch tv all day, every day on my couch for as long as you need.” friends. Carly was nodding. “Yeah, I&#8217;ll drive you and your stuff over.” She agreed. I was stunned. And hopeful. And excited.</p>
<p>It was the break we needed, in order to survive. I was starting to freak out about Joy breaking down. And Joy was starting to break down. I didn&#8217;t even tell her until I needed to start packing, I didn&#8217;t think she (or I) would be able to take it if it fell through.</p>
<p>Trevor made me yummy food, and his dog and I fell in love. I slept. And watched awesome television. And took drugs. And had a steady stream of friends come over to keep me company.</p>
<p>Joy spent the next three days sleeping.</p>
<p>And then we started to get ready to move all of my shit, my cats and my crippled ass into a new place.</p>
<div id="attachment_1948" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2012/03/saving-superalisa/snarky-card-chick-15/" rel="attachment wp-att-1948"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1948" title="Snarky Card Chick" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Snarky-Card-Chick-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is me, selling my Snarky Cards earlier this year, at the Wild Rose. God, I miss walking.</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;m trying to be as honest, while telling you this story, dear Internets, as I can. Which means it takes me a while to craft the story. In between saga&#8217;s, I&#8217;m trying to make new cards, and post them on my etsy shop. And call my stores, and pay my bills, but I still can&#8217;t walk. And I can&#8217;t go out and sell. Which I usually do to pay my bills.</p>
<div id="attachment_1958" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/336894026362020/"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1958 " title="41609_336894026362020_162739784_n" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/41609_336894026362020_162739784_n-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dress sexy! I&#39;ve been crippled for 2 months. I am sex starved. I want your ass as my eye-candy!</p></div>
<p>So, this month I need help. My sister is throwing me a fund-raiser on March 30<sup>th</sup>, from 8:30 pm at <a href="http://seattle.citysearch.com/profile/43931603/seattle_wa/waid_s_restaurant_lounge.html" target="_blank">Waid&#8217;s</a> on Capital Hill. The theme is doctors and nurses. Sex it up, and be ready to dance. Don&#8217;t have a costume? Come as patient. I want to see lots of awesome head wounds! Door prizes for best dressed and most creative costume (or costume posse)<br />
Prizes include: Snarky cards, Snarky Paintings and Fuck You panties! The $10 door fee for the night goes to paying my medical and other bills. It will be a great dance party, and it&#8217;ll make a huge difference in my life if you can attend.</p>
<div id="attachment_1959" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/94860736/f-face"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1959 " title="il_570xN.318897936" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/il_570xN.318897936-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Snarky Cards! Which you can find on the website! Or at my fundraiser!</p></div>
<p>If you can&#8217;t, please look at <a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com" target="_blank">my etsy site</a>, and find something you need. I&#8217;ve been updating it like crazy, so there will be something that cracks you the fuck up. And the sales from my site are all I&#8217;ve got, besides the fund-raiser, to help feed and clothe me. You can send a paypal donation to snarky cards at gmail dot com.</p>
<p>Thanks for listening to my tale of woe. I hope that you are well,  and that your life is easy and kind.</p>
<p>Love, Alisa</p>

<p>My name is Alisa Starr. And 2 weeks ago, I moved from Portland to Seattle. I make <a title="Snarky Cards are fucking hilarious" href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com" target="_blank">Snarky Cards</a>: Brutally Honest Greeting Cards. I sell them in bars from a box that hangs beneath my boobs. I also have them in lots of stores. And I&#8217;ve made and sold 45,767 Snarky Cards so far.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been planning and working on this move for a couple of months. And I&#8217;m a little surprised that I pulled it off.</p>
<p><a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1828" title="most fucked up friend" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/most-fucked-up-friend-290x300.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="300" /></a>And I&#8217;m uncomfortable, finding new places for things I can&#8217;t quite decide if I should have kept. My room is too small for all of my shit. Or maybe I should have just burned everything and started over, instead of shlepping all these journals and craft tools and books and dvds from that tiny, shitty town I&#8217;ve escaped.</p>
<p>I called Stephen in a panic. &#8220;Nothing. Is. Organized.&#8221; Anguish made my voice shrill. Stephen remembers the satisfied look on my face when I <em>finally</em> made file folders for all of the love letters I got in high school. And organized them by sender, and year and month. &#8220;I <strong>know </strong>you can do this, Alisa. You can organize <strong>anything</strong>.&#8221; He spoke slowly, so I had to really pay attention to him. He also sounded really sure, so I thought about it. And I remembered that the list of people I&#8217;ve slept with has it&#8217;s own file folder. I started thinking maybe I just have the wrong furniture.</p>
<p>&#8220;But why is it so hard?&#8221; I whined to Arlette. &#8220;This was so easy when I was young! I used to do it all the time! I thought it was fun!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Remember how fucked up we were? Yeah, moving was fun because all we had to concentrate on for a few days, was putting things in a box and hauling them from one place to another. Now we<em> like</em> our lives. We&#8217;re comfortable. And moving is <em>exhausting</em>.&#8221; I thought about it for a minute. &#8220;Oh. Yeah. I was pretty sure I was gonna end up in jail or in a mental ward until I was, like, 27. And moving was a vacation from worrying about that shit.&#8221; My voice caught a little bit. I hadn&#8217;t realized those fears had passed until right then.</p>
<div id="attachment_1826" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2011/12/seattle-finally/alisa-at-thanksgiving/" rel="attachment wp-att-1826"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1826 " title="Alisa at Thanksgiving" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Alisa-at-Thanksgiving-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is me at my landlord Jen&#39;s house, for Thanksgiving. That&#39;s Seattle behind me. Isn&#39;t it pretty? Isn&#39;t it nice that Jen invited me to her house for Thanksgiving? Yes. I do look very, very tired. I am really tired.</p></div>
<p>I love my new house, a thousand times more than I loved that shitty apartment I used to inhabit. The house is old. And, unlike my old apartment, nothing is my fault. If something doesn&#8217;t work, I don&#8217;t have to fix it, or report it, and then get in trouble, because my land-lord is an asshole, and is pretty sure everything is my fault.</p>
<p>If a bill comes, I don&#8217;t have to collect the money to pay it before something gets shut-off. The walls are not permanently stained by my hair-dye, or my Snarky Card paint. I don&#8217;t have to fill the house with furniture, and I alone am not responsible for making sure that the walls are covered with inviting art. I just have to keep my space clean, and write checks when the money is due. It&#8217;s such a relief. I had no idea how much of a constant worry that apartment was until it wasn&#8217;t anymore.</p>
<p>And my new landlord is  awesome, and nice, as opposed to the property management company I&#8217;ve been dealing with for the last six years, who used to exude a freakish amount of despair and weirdly displaced anger for a small office operating in a supposedly friendly town.</p>
<div id="attachment_1825" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/2011/12/seattle-finally/alice-and-my-ass-pillow/" rel="attachment wp-att-1825"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1825 " title="Alice and my ass pillow" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Alice-and-my-ass-pillow-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This is my friend Alice! This is the pillow she made for my ass, when she heard that my new studio has a cement floor. Isn&#39;t Alice nice?</p></div>
<p>My new office/paint studio, is no longer My Living Room. Which means that my room-mates and their guests no longer randomly wander into the middle of my 12 hour painting jag and emotionally vomit all of their problems all over me, both annoying and distracting me.  It&#8217;s cold, and the floor is cement. So, I need to get cushions. And maybe a space heater. But the ass-cushion Alice made me before I left, and my paint sweaters seem to be doing the job all right. And the privacy allows me to get lost in my work. Which is something I treasure so much. I need that psycho-paint-a-thon head space. It gives me relief so that I can go out and sell cards.</p>
<p>My cats are happy. And I didn&#8217;t lose that much shit in the move. And I have friends. And selling here is pure joy. It&#8217;s so easy. People just seem to like my cards. And me. And they enjoy buying them. <a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1827 alignright" title="no matter what shitty job you have" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/no-matter-what-shitty-job-you-have-300x286.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="286" /></a>And they&#8217;re so fucking <em>funny!</em> It was fun being the funniest person in the room in Portland, but this last year it&#8217;s just gotten lonely. In Seattle I&#8217;m one of a bunch of clever people. And perfect strangers tell me the funniest, most surprising stories. And finally being around people who are as charismatic as me is making me up my game.</p>
<p>So: in conclusion, I live in Seattle now, and even though the move made me really fucking tired, I really like it here. You might see me haunting the bars on Capitol Hill. Or, if you miss me, you can get my Snarky Cards from <a title="They're really fucking funny, yo" href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com" target="_blank">the Internets</a>. And as a prize, because I&#8217;m so delighted by Seattle, Go to http://snarkycards.etsy.com and enter the coupon code seattlerocks, to get FREE SHIPPING!</p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p>Alisa</p>

<p>Dear Internets,</p>
<p>My name is Alisa Starr. I make <a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com" target="_blank">Snarky Cards</a>: Brutally Honest Greeting Cards. I sell them in bars from a box that hangs beneath my boobs. They will crack you the fuck up.</p>
<p>This Sunday, Red Light Clothing Exchange is having their annual Naked Shopping Party! I&#8217;ll be slinging my cards, with my typewriter, and my boobs. There&#8217;ll be a band, and prizes. I mean, prizes that are not just &#8220;win all the clothes you can wear&#8221; which is, of course the big prize.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1643" href="http://superalisa.com/2011/04/red-lights-naked-shopping-party-a-great-way-to-celebrate-jesus/red-light-poster/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1643" title="red light poster" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/red-light-poster-195x300.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="300" /></a>People have been asking me what the deal is with this Naked Shopping Party.  The rules are simple: everyone shows up with clothes on. The biggest prize offered is  that you can win all the clothes you can put on at once. Obviously, it&#8217;s easier to fit more clothes on, if you start off naked. If you&#8217;d like to shop naked, you put your name in a box and the delicious and delightful staff at Red Light draw the names of 2 boys and 2 girls from the box.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1644" href="http://superalisa.com/2011/04/red-lights-naked-shopping-party-a-great-way-to-celebrate-jesus/75782_495053152802_602312802_7032476_8153613_n/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1644" title="75782_495053152802_602312802_7032476_8153613_n" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/75782_495053152802_602312802_7032476_8153613_n-300x281.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="281" /></a>And they shop. And everyone else shops too. But they shop naked. And the rest of us get to watch. How rad is that? While we&#8217;re watching the naked shoppers, I&#8217;ll be typing up new and custom Snarky Cards. I&#8217;m excited about partying it up, and writing some new shit for your horrible and hilarious sexual situations. There will also be lots of Snarky Undies for those of you who haven&#8217;t gotten a pair yet.</p>
<p>So, if you wanna celebrate Easter the way Weed Jesus would want you to, come on down to Red Light, to get your custom Snarky Cards, your Snarky Undies, and your voyeur on.</p>
<p>See ya then!</p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p>Alisa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Internets,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_1598" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 115px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1598" title="snarky cust" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/snarky-cust-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="105" height="78" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Here are some cute girls, diggin on Snarky Cards at O&#39;Brien&#39;s on NW 21st Ave! </p></div>
<p><a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1601" title="Fuck your feelings" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Fuck-your-feelings-300x258.jpg" alt="" width="119" height="102" /></a>For those of you who don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m Alisa Starr. I make <a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com" target="_blank">Snarky Cards:</a> Brutally Honest Greeting Cards. I sell them in bars from a box that hangs beneath my boobs. They will crack you the fuck up.</p>
<p>Tonight I was hawking them at the Bossanova Ballroom, in between acts of the <em><a href="http://www.bossanovaballroom.com/event/bikini-creature-beach-feature-1-2" target="_blank">Bikini Creature Beach Feature</a></em>! Which was awesome!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1600" title="Bikini Creature" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Bikini-Creature1-194x300.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="300" />I suck at describing stuff, so I&#8217;ll just quote the Portland Mercury on this: “<em> </em>Bikini Creature Beach Feature is a charming mélange of &#8217;60s beach blanket flicks, &#8217;80s sex gooferies à la <em>Hardbodies</em>,   and grindhouse motorcycle gang pictures. Bikini beach bunnies dance, a   sea witch vamps, the local motorcycle gang cruises around with their   ape, and Guantanamo Baywatch and the Lordy Lords soundtrack the   shenanigans.&#8221; My friend, Matt Stanger, wrote this musical gem. And it was everything that it sounds like it was, and more. It was so fucking FUNNY! I laughed for, like, two hours straight.</p>
<p>The story is simple, it&#8217;s about 2 beach dweebs who have to fight a biker gang, and their rapist gorilla, Randy Bannanas, in order to race against Big Daddy and The Sand Witch. The prize for the race is a trophy and a gift certificate to Planned Parenthood. The Sand Witch is knocked up, and she wants that gift certificate baaaaaad. And Big Daddy races dirty. Will the dweebs prevail? Will they keel over from Big Daddy&#8217;s Crazy Dirty Farts? The suspense is awesome!</p>
<p>I think that the best part of the play was when one of the beach dweebs (the one who always got maced) said to one of the beach bunnies &#8220;Do you know CPR? Because I know ASS TO MOUTH!&#8221; Every 15 seconds there was another line that had you reeling. And then there was a minion! Who crawled around on the ground! He rolled joints for the sea-witch. And she would beat him as a reward. He wasn&#8217;t allowed to wear clothes, and he fetched things for her. Sigh. I want one of my very own. The band was live, and there were at least 15 girls, whose roles were pretty much to dance throughout the entire fucking play.</p>
<div id="attachment_1597" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 191px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1597 " title="rogue" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/rogue.jpeg" alt="" width="181" height="136" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Rogue is my favorite super-hero ever. She&#39;s spunky. And she gets to make out with Wolverine. Who is a bad-ass. And, oh look! Her tits are huge! Like all the other chick super-heros. Totally reasonable theory.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_1602" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 138px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1602" title="boobs" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/boobs.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="96" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Here&#39;s a picture of my boobs, so you see why I&#39;m big-boob-biased.</p></div>
<p>A few of them had HUGE tits, which reminded me that Stanger is awesome. I&#8217;m so tired of watching tiny-titted ladies shake their sugar. I feel like if you&#8217;re gonna put some girls onstage in tiny outfits, give me a few double D&#8217;s or else I&#8217;ll be wondering what the fucking point is. This is probably my way of being Alisa-centrist, since I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen my huge rack, shaking around town. However, I like to think it&#8217;s because of comic books. When I was a little girl, all the girl-super-hero&#8217;s had HUGE tits. So, as a child, I assumed that women get all of their power from their boobs. Which, it turns out, in my adult life, is true. So, when I see boobies, I&#8217;d like to see them large, please.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_1603" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 220px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1603 " title="boobs 2" src="http://superalisa.com/superalisa.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/boobs-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="158" /><p class="wp-caption-text">More Alisa Starr Boobs!</p></div>
<p>Anyway, Bikini Creature Beach Feature didn&#8217;t disappoint. Hilarious-wise, and Titty-wise. If you didn&#8217;t go, that&#8217;s OK. I&#8217;m sure that Stanger will create another creation. Keep an eye out for Matt Stanger Productions. Anything that says that, is going to make you piss your pants with laughter. And if you did go, you and are both in the cool-kids club, and we will be laughing, and gasping private jokes FOREVER! Ha! Ha! Ha!</p>
<p>Love,<br />
Alisa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Internets,</p>
<div id="attachment_1103" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Superalisa-red-dress2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1103" title="Superalisa red dress2" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Superalisa-red-dress2-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Can you honestly imagine me playing hard to get? Because I can&#39;t.</p></div>
<p>When I was 19, The Rules came out. The Rules were written by two skinny Anne-Coulter-esque women. You know, the kind of chicks who think that they&#8217;re hotter than shit because they can wear a pencil skirt and have long hair? Anyway, these bitches wrote The Rules, a book which proclaimed that the only way to &#8220;capture&#8221; Mr. Right is to be unavailable, and make him chase you. On a Rules first date, you&#8217;re not allowed to stay for longer than ten minutes. Whether you have something else to do or not, you have to look at your watch and say &#8220;Oh! I have to go!&#8221; and jump up and run away after ten minutes. After said date and for the rest of the relationship, you&#8217;re not allowed to return his first phone call. You have to wait until his third, or fourth. Or something. Apparently, the recipe for success is a combination of being unavailable, and maintaining mystique.</p>
<div id="attachment_1102" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 194px"><a href="www.therulesbook.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1102" title="The Rules" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/The-Rules-184x300.jpg" alt="" width="184" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The book that insults us all.</p></div>
<p>As we all know, I am super-aggressive; sexually and in every other way. And I couldn&#8217;t maintain mystique to save my life. So, I fucking hated this bullshit. Probably because they created a program I have no hope of following, and then called any woman who didn&#8217;t follow their program lonely and stupid. But that&#8217;s not all of it.  It pissed me off that this philosophy is based on the idea that men need to be manipulated into love. Because for all of the slutting around I do, I like men. I respect men. And I&#8217;ve spent the better part of the last 17 years trying to work through all of my shit so that I can figure out how to have healthy relationships with them. The idea that I need to manipulate one into loving me means that I&#8217;m not lovable all by myself, and I can&#8217;t trust a man to make his own decisions about his feelings. All of which sucks.</p>
<div id="attachment_1104" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 219px"><a href="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Those-rules-bitches1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1104" title="Those rules bitches" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Those-rules-bitches1-209x300.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Rules Bitches: Arch-nemesis&#39;s of everything awesome</p></div>
<p>About two years after their books hit really big, both of those bitches found themselves divorced. Which gave me some satisfaction. I don&#8217;t usually delight in the misfortunes of other people. But I considered these women the Arch-Nemesis&#8217;s of everything awesome. And so, their divorces fed my desire to see them sad. Unfortunately, these divorces didn&#8217;t stop them from continuing to offer dating advice. They are continuing to wage their war against honest dating, even now. Their website is stocked with pictures of them smiling next to real celebrities. There&#8217;s even a quote from Oprah, saying that they are genius&#8217;s.</p>
<p>I understand their popularity. I think everyone wants to create some order out of the chaos of our lives. Especially when it comes to dating. Everyone has lines they won&#8217;t cross. I have name rules. Like the other night, I met a Ryan. Isn&#8217;t it weird how all Ryan&#8217;s are hot? And while he was charismatic, I knew he was Hell-bent on his own destruction. As well as the destruction of anyone else who said that they liked him. So, even though he had Dylan-hair, and was trying to throw some (pretty good) game at me, I passed, because it doesn&#8217;t matter how good a Ryan is in bed, the mind-fuck you&#8217;re getting afterward makes the whole thing feel like a bad sexual decision.</p>
<p>After I&#8217;ve met 3 different people with the same name, I can make general observations about the name. My name rules have helped guide me through my life.  I try to believe in exceptions to the rules. They exist. I&#8217;ve just never met them. Michael&#8217;s always try to fuck with my head. David&#8217;s kinda hate themselves. Kaytea&#8217;s are always a crazy-ass party, that you will never regret attending. But you should rest-up first. Emily&#8217;s are steadfast friends. And Becky&#8217;s are bitches. Rebecca&#8217;s are usually nice, thoughtful and sensitive. Steve&#8217;s are good friends, who will always listen, and seldomly put out.</p>
<p>As much as I depend on my name rules, they&#8217;re subjective. They&#8217;re based on my experience with people who have those names. The Bexter (note, she goes by Rebecca, not Becky, because she knows Becky&#8217;s are bitches too, and has therefore never let anyone call her that)  has had different experiences with different names. So, she is open to dating a David, or a Justin (although, she&#8217;s dated a lot of Justin&#8217;s she might be done with that particular name). So, basically, while I love my name rules, and they are the guiding light of my life, I can&#8217;t pass them along for public consumption, except as a party trick.</p>

<p>Recently, I was updating the list of people I&#8217;ve slept with. I&#8217;ve got 83 people on the list&#8230; And I feel like I&#8217;m missing some people. So, if we&#8217;ve slept together, could you please email me, so that I can double check and make sure I&#8217;ve alredy counted you? Please don&#8217;t email if we only made-out. You dont&#8217; count. Wait. Unless we made-out and it was good, and you&#8217;d like to make the list. In which case, please email me, and I will consider your request. You can send your sexual requests (and tales of our dalliances together) to snarkycardsatgmaildotcom.</p>
<p>I have noticed lately, that I have a collected a lot of wisdom, from all these different boys, and situations I&#8217;ve found myself in. I give great dating advice. Which I can&#8217;t figure out how to follow myself (much like the evil bitches I despise). But my observations have helped my friends (and strangers I meet at the bar) navigate through their own dating debacles.</p>
<p><a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_1&amp;listing_id=35802401&amp;ga_search_query=rule&amp;ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_5233435"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1105" title="Rule 13" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Rule-13-300x290.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="290" /></a>So I&#8217;ve decided to put together my own list. The Rules by The Snarky Card Chick! I will feed them to you in the form of cards, until we have enough for a book of our own. And then we can give America a choice, The Rules for girls who like men (by Alisa Starr) or The Rules for girls who like to manipulate men(by some heinous bitches).  Rule #13 is the first rule I &#8216;ve written so far. I wrote it for my friend, Tina. Who is a cougar. Which is kind of exciting, and it makes me very, very proud.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good rule, I think. But it&#8217;s not going to be part of the top ten. I don&#8217;t know how long the list will be yet. I&#8217;m just writing down things as they happen to me. Or as they happen to my friends. If you have suggestions, I&#8217;d love to hear them!</p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p>Alisa</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-984" href="http://superalisa.com/2009/12/craft-shows-and-betsy-the-great/bob1/"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-984" title="bob1" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/bob1-300x199.jpg" alt="bob1" width="300" height="199" /></a>For those of you who don&#8217;t know, my name is Alisa Starr. I make <a href="http://snarkycards.etsy.com" target="_blank">Snarky Cards</a>: Brutally Honest Greeting Cards. I sell them in bars from a box that hangs beneath my boobs. They will crack you the fuck up.</p>
<p>There are a lot of sexy pictures that I will be slowly supplying you with, internet, which were taken last Thursday night, (by my Dickleganger! Ammon!) while I was at Radish Underground, selling and typing my cards as I usually do on First Thursdays.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-983" href="http://superalisa.com/2009/12/craft-shows-and-betsy-the-great/nipple-shot-2/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-983" title="nipple shot? 2" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/nipple-shot-2-300x199.jpg" alt="nipple shot? 2" width="300" height="199" /></a>Recently, I&#8217;ve made a decision about doing Craft Shows. Which is to say, I&#8217;m not going to do it anymore. Or, at least, I&#8217;m not going to do it as often as I used to, because I don&#8217;t make that much money at these shows. And I&#8217;m working on getting more shwag together, Snarky Magnets, and Snarky T-Shirts are going to happen in the next couple of months, but until I have some higher priced items (and a credit card machine), I&#8217;m not going to make much more than the booth fee at these shows. So, no craft shows for Snarky Cards for a while. Except for First Thursdays at Radish Underground. Which is an event that is largely populated by my friends. And they don&#8217;t charge me money to show up.</p>
<div id="attachment_991" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-991" href="http://superalisa.com/2009/12/craft-shows-and-betsy-the-great/all-the-rad-bitches/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-991" title="All the rad bitches" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/All-the-rad-bitches-300x199.jpg" alt="The Bitches Rock! Celeste and Gina, of Radish were joined by Pam (owner of Frances May), Alyson (owner of Frank James), and the Marjorie (Portland Mercury fashion goddess). " width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Bitches Rock! Celeste and Gina, of Radish were joined by Pam (owner of Frances May), Alyson (owner of Frank James), and the Marjorie (Portland Mercury fashion goddess). </p></div>
<p>So, every first Thursday you can find me and Bob, making you custom cards that should get you laid, or help you stop sleeping with the wrong person. There&#8217;s always sexy liquor and sexy clothes, hot boys and girls with funny things to say and we&#8217;re not above showing a little nipple now and again. Although, when I say we, I mean me. So, you would probably only get two nipples maximum. Which is a pretty good deal if you aren&#8217;t expecting any nipple, I think.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.betsyandiya.com"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-985" title="betsy's boobs on my boobs" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/betsys-boobs-on-my-boobs.JPG" alt="betsy's boobs on my boobs" width="128" height="85" /></a>This last Thursday was awesome. Betsy The Great was there, with her new designs. And they&#8217;re getting funkier and bigger, and sexier. As you can see, the great big boob necklace is amazing!</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-986" href="http://superalisa.com/2009/12/craft-shows-and-betsy-the-great/alisa-and-betsy-the-great/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-986" title="Alisa and Betsy the Great" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Alisa-and-Betsy-the-Great.JPG" alt="Alisa and Betsy the Great" width="128" height="85" /></a><a rel="attachment wp-att-992" href="http://superalisa.com/2009/12/craft-shows-and-betsy-the-great/alisa-boobs-and-betsy-the-great/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-992" title="alisa boobs and betsy the great" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/alisa-boobs-and-betsy-the-great-300x199.jpg" alt="alisa boobs and betsy the great" width="180" height="119" /></a>It was really fun to see Betsy again, she&#8217;s so busy, and I&#8217;m so busy, we never hang out anymore. It was fun catching up. It turns out we&#8217;re still hot, hilarious bitches who make cool shit. That was reassuring to find out! Snarky Cards and Betsy and Iya Designs are still at Radish Underground waiting for you to come in and claim them as your awesome reward for getting through the year.</p>
<p><a href="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Your-fucking-feelings.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1002" title="Your fucking feelings" src="http://superalisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Your-fucking-feelings-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Thanks for letting me tell you my news about Craft Shows!
