Dressed in White

SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL, the comedy web series inspired by CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT and RUDE AWAKENINGS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT, is back on Babelgum.com!

Episode 13, "Dressed in White," is all about why Jane is wearing that white gown and what is means to her to wear white as opposed to what it means to Courtney. And how emotionally charged that white, fairy-princess dress can be. Especially if the fairy tale doesn't have a happy ending.

An interesting note on the difference between...

By a Reader: An Austen Addict Collage

A very sweet surprise in my inbox: In addition to a lovely email from a 16-year-old reader named Tara, she made this Polyvore collage inspired by CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT and RUDE AWAKENINGS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT.

I could definitely see curling up in that robe and reading NORTHANGER ABBEY (gotta get ready for the JASNA AGM coming up end of October. Or watching CLUELESS. Again.

Thank you, Tara!

Love, Money, & Pemberley (Ep.12 of SEX & THE AUSTEN GIRL)

Don't miss this week's episode which is OUR LAST EPISODE TILL
SEPTEMBER 5, when we will return with a special MR. DARCY episode.

Everyone

wants to marry for love, but shouldn't we consider money as well? Where
does romance end and practicality begin? And should they be mutually
exclusive?

Courtney and Jane, our time-swapping heroines of SEX
AND THE AUSTEN GIRL, explore an issue that has not changed all that much
since Jane Austen's time. Watch Episode 12, "Love, Money, &
Pemberley....

"The 200-Year-Old Virgin" (Ep. 11 of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL)

Imagine the shock you'd feel if you were a sheltered lady from 1813
England who woke up one morning in twenty-first-century Los Angeles. In
another woman's body. A woman named Courtney Stone. Who is, like you,
unmarried. But who is not, like you, a virgin.

Watch Jane
Mansfield, that nineteenth-century lady, and Courtney Stone, the
twenty-first-century woman who has taken over Jane's life, discuss
things a lady should never talk about.

Watch "The 200-Year-Old Virgin," Episode 11...

Tell-Tale Signs (Episode 10 of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL)

Ever wonder how you could have missed the signs (let's face it; the
billboards) that screamed "He's just not that into you"?

In this
week's episode of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL, our time-swapping heroines
Courtney and Jane discuss the tell-tale signs of a lack of male
interest, both in Regency England and in twenty-first-century Los
Angeles.

Watch Episode 10 of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL. Only on Babelgum.

And read about it on the Babelgum Blog.

Episode 10, "Tell-Tale Signs," premiered Monday...

It's stuff like this that reminds me why I write.

A friend explained double happiness to me recently. It's when we are so happy that we bring that happiness to someone else. And then I came across this
little gem the other day.

To know that one's work has brought happiness
to another is the greatest gift of all.

Is He For Real? (Episode 9 of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL)

Wouldn't it be great if there were a foolproof decoder of male behavior,
a dog-meter, if you will, that tells us if he's for real? Or, as Jane
Mansfield, one of the heroines of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL would put it,
is there anything that indicates his intentions are honorable?

Watch
Courtney and Jane, time-swapping heroines of SEX AND THE AUSTEN GIRL,
figure it all out in Episode 9, "Is He For Real?" 

And read all about it on the Babelgum Blog.

"Is He For Real?" premiered Monday, July 12...
