Lethal Lady

On the right side of my side bar, you will see a blog ad advertising for Lethal Lady. I accept most ads unless they are pro-Nazi or child porn etc. so I clicked on accept for this particular ad. There is nothing wrong with it, I just find it a bit of a mystery. As you can see, Lethal Lady is advertising products with her picture on it in various costumes. I guess she wants people to buy them but why? I read her about me section but was left just as confused. She states that she is a 62-year-old grandmother who was abandoned by her husband and lost her job because of her age. What is the point of selling the products she does? Is she trying to make a statement that women over sixty should flaunt their sexuality? If so, fine, make the statement but it is not clear. Is she trying to say that she is a "discharged" lady who is trying to make a living off of her products because she has no means of support and needs help? I am not sure or maybe I am just slow. I do not mean any disrespect to Lethal Lady, I am just not sure what she is peddling and she never seems to tell her audience either. Any readers out there know?

Sexx sells. The Internet connects

Give her a call and tell her what you need. Most places can find a service that will fill your needs -- whether it's cleaning people, "landscapers", marital aids, or leather toys. Craftsmen gain a wider audience; people get less generic goods; everybody's happy, no?

The sexx is "selling" the ad, much like your sidebar pictures "sell" your blog though in a more vanilla way. hth Dont be shy to call. Surely you want to know what's being trafficked on your blog that you see every day

Scary. I'd be willing to be this lady is not particularly insightful. I always shiver when someone (male or female) wants to be reborn and a new, younger, more vivacious, or whatever person.

Be your age and act your age. Too many boomers are in a hunt for perpetual adolescence. Adulthood is quite nice, actually. If I this woman came after me, I'd do a "Forest Gump" and run, Forest, run.

I know nothing, nothing. Ignorance is bliss. And I find the lethal lady creepy. Well, not her specifically, but the patent leather storm trooper outfit is well, questionable. I mean, I do not talk to people dressed like that at a party. Come to think of it, I have been to costume parties where people have come as Sono Bono (pine tree through the head) and as a bong (smoke even came out, but it was a cigarette)but I have never attended a party or other gathering (official or otherwise) with ANY kind of storm trooper regalia. Perhaps I am sheltered.

My wife is reading over my shoulder saying "Call her what she is, a dominatrix." I think she is a fauxatrix.

Hey, leave Islamic Rage Boy alone! He can't help it his Santa fetish conflicts with his fanatical devotion to the Holy Koran. Can't you see it's tearing him up inside? Show a little compassion.

(They say this cat Islamic Rage Boy is a baaaad muthaf...Shut yo mouth!)

Anyway, Lethal Lady makes me sad. Danni Ashe she is not, nor will ever she be I'm afraid. Pathetic.

Got a blog anon? If you did then you would understand the situation. See, when you agree to accept advertising on your blog, it is assigned by keywords or some other process. You, as a blogger, do not CHOOSE the ads, you merely allow them. Someone else chooses them.

So you see, the good Dr. is not putting this crap before our eyes. So she cannot be dissasociating herself, because she is not associated.

So your post is irrelevent except for making you look like a clueless newbie.

Hmmm. Great post!

Trey,

Actually with blogads, people send in the advertising and the blogger can choose to accept or reject it. Like I said, I accept most anything except for support for Nazis or child porn. I am just truly baffled as to what Lethal lady is selling--I went to see if I could get her story and it is really just not very clear what she wants people to do--buy her mechandise? Why? For support for sexy older women? Good, I don't find that sad, kind of gutsy, in fact. But if I were advertising something, I would try to be clearer about why I wanted people to buy my product, that's all.

One of the essential rules of good marketing is "find your niche". I say she's giving it a go and more power to her. After all, the market for your typical grand-ma stuff, doilys, doll dresses and the like is more than saturated.
By the way, I happen to like the dominatrix look : she can take me in for interrogation any time she wants.
I think I'll be anon today.

I think that Lethal Lady needs some therapy. I coulent figureout what she was trying to sell. Plus, the 4 pictures on her ad seem to imply that she is either a dominatrix or a hooker. She eeds to get someone to redo her ad, otherwise it look s like an amateurish ad for a senior-citizen "escort" service.
And given the quality of yoru blog, Helen, I think you ought to dum Lethal Lady's ad.

LethalLady has a . Apparently her goal is to connect with other over 55-year-old women and share stories.

I wonder what made her think this blog was a good place to advertise? She obviously doesnt know that this blog is anti women and that the blogger would attack her.

But, maybe LL knew that already . . . maybe LL is a masochist, not a sadist.

"She obviously doesn't know that this blog is anti women. . . " Well, why would she, "anon" ? The anti-women bias of this blog is so subtle it eludes most of us. Geniuses like you excepted, of course.

DRJ,

Thanks for putting up the link. Okay, now that makes a bit more sense. She is looking to connect with other woman over 55 and is tired of the sterotype of women being old. Good for her!

Unlike you, maybe Lethal Lady realizes that this blog argues for the equality between men and women, perhaps she saw that as a good opportunity for advertising. My post hardly attacked Lethal Lady, I was just trying to find out what her schtick was. So what.

Helen, I like your blog. I really do. You post on some interesting and usually important topics. You have a number of very intelligent readers/commenters. Unfortunately, there are those others who bring to mind a quote I heard years ago, attributed (rightly or wrongly) to a former local politician: "I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person."

Usually, I remember that quote *after* I have so engaged. :~(

Hi Vicki,

I often toy with the idea of banning, moderating or deleting rude or humorless comments because they do bother other people and I do not regular readers to feel that this place is so full of trolls that they cannot freely discuss issues or that the tone of some of comments is so negative that they disengage. They don't bother me, but I realize that they can turn my blog into one that many intelligent and sincere people avoid because of the personal insults and attacks.

Wise up Helen.
There is a reason she is being ambiguous about the services provided, as noted by a wise troll upthread

She is selling a non-vanilla experience. Let her know what you want; she will see if she can meet your needs. Really it's not that hard to figure. Don't play clueless and take a little responsibility for your blog ads -- what your "work" is being sponsored by. Nothing wrong with being a whore you know; don't play silly is all.

That whore remark is a dead giveaway: anonymous IS Islamic Rage Boy!!

Doc had better drop the schweet pics and get some decent burqa shots. Our angry tyke is stretched pretty thin as it is - wouldn't want him to have a thrombo over all this exposed flesh.

Actually, she's probably doing all right with this material. As a former editor of Penthouse I can tell you that the market for material concerning "mature" women is vast and varied. It has been for some time. Down in old Kentuck, they'd say "Horses for courses."

I don't get what the confusion is. She's obviously a woman of a certain age, trying to sell stuff with pics of herself (and a t-shirt which she no doubt imagines being boughty by kindred souls). I'm pretty much shrugging here. It's weird seeing everyone react negatively (If you don't like her showing off at her age, close the page of your web browser and move on!). The internet has become the world's marketplace, and stuff *much* more strange than this appears for sale on E-bay.

Yes, I was thinking a podcast with Lethal lady along with the author of a recent book I read entitled, "A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance" about a 67 year old woman who puts an ad in the New York Times book review looking for sex with a man she liked. It was quite humorous-probably make an interesting podcast about dating after 60.
