Name: Sass E. Wench Number: 5’1 3/4” (my height- as a shrimp, I count every fraction of an inch.)

Gear: Riedell R3 skates, Pro-Tec pads and wrist guards, and a Bell Helmet with a jeweled martini glass on it. Somewhere out there, Dave Mirra is traumatized at the treatment his licensed merchandise is receiving.

Likes: Cooking, cats (I have 2- Harley and Ryder), and crème brulee. Other Likes (that don’t offer great alliteration): Australia , Frederick ’s of Hollywood , Louisiana (my home state), dollar movies, good music, great shoes, Patron Silver, goofy internet geekery, parentheses (they’re great!), and the blog smartbitchestrashybooks.com.

Dislikes: My black thumb, recipes that don’t work, plagiarism, stupidity, willful ignorance, assembling mailings

The “Other” Me: A former sneering comic-shop girl who now works as a ‘professional’ (HA!) web developer/copywriter/editor for a small marketing firm in Hudson, can spot a typo at 20 paces, practices random acts of vigilante copyediting, and carries a magic purse that always has what I need(with enough extra room to smuggle provisions into movies.)
