We have had some major changes and our network of domains are now in the hands of a new company: The Internet Fairy, Inc. Don't worry, it is still a family owned company and we plan on bringing you the coolest Halloween stuff, costumes, and costume accessories. We are planning on using the Extreme Halloween Blog for Halloween related posts and we have set up three new posts to highlight each of our sites:
StageAndTheaterMakeup.blogspot.com is the blog for StageandTheaterMakeup.com and will feature makeup tips, makeup ideas, makeup in TV, movies and Broadway as well as features on the makeup we sell, coupons, specials and the like. There is currently a feature on there highlighting the Face Off television show that has professional makeup artists competing against each other.
BuySantaSuits.blogspot.com is our SantaSuits.com blog for all things Christmas, Santa and holiday related. We will feature specials and sales as well as great info on holiday happenings, holiday recipes and anything else that is fun around the holidays.
I received this email from FightForTheFuture.org and figured I share it as a good way to end the blackout on my blog. Not that I post to it everyday anyhow, but it's just the principle.
"Today was nuts, right?
Google launched a petition. Wikipedia voted to shut itself off. Senators' websites went down just from the sheer surge of voters trying to write them. NYC and SF geeks had protests that packed city blocks.
You made history today: nothing like this has ever happened before. Tech companies and users teamed up. Tens of millions of people who make the internet what it is joined together to defend their freedoms. The free network defended itself. Whatever you call it, the bottom line is clear: from today forward, it will be much harder to mess up the internet.
Approaching Monday's crucial Senate vote there are now 35 Senators publicly opposing PIPA. Last week there were 5. And it just takes just 41 solid "no" votes to permanently stall PIPA (and SOPA) in the Senate. What seemed like miles away a few weeks ago is now within reach.
But don't trust predictions. The forces behind SOPA & PIPA (mostly movie companies) can make small changes to these bills until they know they have the votes to pass. Members of Congress know SOPA & PIPA are unpopular, but they don't understand why--so they're easily duped by superficial changes. The Senate returns next week, and the next few days are critical. Here are two things to think about:
1. Plan on calling your Senator every day next week. Pick up the phone each morning and call your Senators' offices, until they vote "no" on cloture. If your site participated today, consider running a "Call the Senate" link all next week.
2. Tomorrow, drop in at your Senators' district offices. We don't have a cool map widget to show you the offices nearest you (we're too exhausted! any takers?). So do it the old fashioned way: use Google, or the phonebook to find the address, and just walk in, say you oppose PIPA, and urge the Senator to vote "no" on cloture. These drop-in visits make our spectacular online protests more tangible and credible.
That's it for now. Be proud and stay on it!"
