Even though I am actually just PLAIN’ OL’ SCANDALOUS TRASH from Fresno and the VERY GODDAMNED ANTITHESIS of NOBLE — I take the old concept of “Artistic Noblesse Oblige” very seriously. VERY. In fact, it is one of the major guiding principles of my life. If there is some way — no matter how small or seemingly insignificant — that I can offer up who I know, what I know, and all that I am to help someone else who is passionate, visionary, hard-working, and worthy…to make their own dreams come true and their own artistic destinies manifest…I’M FUCKIN’ DOIN’ IT.
And this is why I love Michelle Obama SO. MOTHERLOVING. MUCH.
THIS IS HOW YOU FUCKING DO IT.
TELL IT, Sister!
“When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.” — The SERIOUSLY FIERCE FLOTUS Michelle Obama

About muffybolding
Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
