Disclaimer

Do you ever wonder if your blog should come with a disclaimer? I read a lot of blogs. I see that there are some that have 5,000 followers and the more I follow along, it’s the same content, but yet its cult like and the blog keeps growing and so I try my best to figure out why following these blogs are growing, does my comment really matter? Don’t get me wrong, I love blogs that feature fashion only, or mommy blogs where every single day I see your kids. Yesterday they were precious, today same pose with a kool aid mustache and a booger. Adorable, but you can only comment eighty eleven times on how cute they are before you go, “hey, you bakin’ some cookies or something with a recipe?"

What draws a person to a blog? I follow some blogs that are in a total different language. Sometimes I hit the button and translate them, and then sometimes I just pretend I can read it for shits and giggles. I can’t speak Portuguese (I had to even check how to spell it), but hot dang they sure have some beautiful skinny ass girls, with cool style. And then I wonder, do they work or just set around all day looking fabulous, standing on cobblestone streets having someone take their picture. But being the sucker I am and one third un-American for pretending to read foreign blogs, I sign up because one day I should probably get a style idea or two. Somedays, I just superimpose my face on their face. You know in my dreams?

For a month in my que I have a post about the show “Sister Wives”. I have been hesitant because I don’t know if any of my blogger friends have family members that live this lifestyle, have friends that are friends with that families dog’s former roommate. So, you stand on a fine line wondering who you might offend or get an ugly comment from with the content of your blog. And let me just throw this out there because you may just someday see that post. Ain’t no man got a golden dong to warrant five wives.  I mean in potato chip land that's called double dipping. And I totally expect that someday, we gonna see a cat fight worthy of a Lifetime movie mystery because wifey poo #3  is gonna snap when he brings in little Miss 19 year old with perky tits and breeding thighs to put a turkey to shame. Just sayin’… and now that I said it, do I need to add a disclaimer?

I want my blog to grow. I would love 5000 followers, and I set down and wonder why some blogs grow at a rapid pace and then I feel like I am at turtle speed. I guess I should apologize for not publishing my kid’s every move, or posting my financial hardships to gain sponsorship, not being team player when it comes to my personal fashion posts because I am still a little insecure about posting my own taste in clothing, cussing, or maybe just not being serious enough. So, if you want a disclaimer, here it is.

Warning: This blog is not for the ordinarily prim or proper. It contains explicit material that will make you crap your pants from laughter or cause you to have dry mouth syndrome from dropping open. The Owner if this blog takes no responsibility for the faint of heart or how serious daily life is as she’s fit. She makes no apologies for her opinion, wardrobe or serious family issues and hopes that continued followers spread the love like a CEO to a hooker on pay day.

Sincerely,
Dusty

  1. Ha. You're hilarious. I feel like the word "blog" itself should already carry its own disclaimer. Oh and I have a grand total of 14 followers. So...yay for not having 5,000. xoxo

  2. "Ain’t no man got a golden dong to warrant five wives." This is my new facebook status. Thank you for making my day :) I haven't even reached 100 followers as I too am at turtle speed, but it's not a popularity contest and I can tell you that the followers you do have enjoy every jaw dropping, pants crapping moment. I stole your button.

  3. I look forward to your blog because it's not in Portuguese and you say what you want when you want about what you want. I just love it so.

    Keep doing what you're doing and your blog will grow because you, my Farrah, are genuine.

    Famous, here we come! I mean, we got on taco bell vomit's radar yesterday. What today? :)

    Big hugs from me and sharks!

  4. Um hi. I love you. I wonder the same thing. I don't have kids and I don't have a fancy camera and I don't live somewhere glamorous, but for some reason people still like to read my blog. It's not 5000 people that's for sure, but I'm just happy I've met such amazing people through blogging that also share my love of taco bell vomit.

  6. I love this post, because I wonder about all of the same things! My boyfriend tells me it's ridiculous to worry about what strangers think of you, but I don't think he understands the dynamics of the female blogging community. With that being said, I think you should share on, girl!

  7. I love the raw honesty of your blog, I love how hard it makes me laugh.

    you don't want 5,000 followers. I hate HUGE blogs. I really do.

  8. I'm more likely to read a blog that comes with a disclaimer than pictures of sticky children with boogers hanging out. Just saying.

  13. LOL! I completely agree!! I don't have cute little babies, fancy trendy clothes, and I sure as shit don't have time to blog about my life every single day, but I think that's what's awesome about your blog.. you're REAL. I imagine you write like you speak, and that's what I look for in a blog, and that's what I try to do too. I only have 7 followers (and you're one of them, yay!), but when I write I write for all 7 of you.. no matter if you read it or not!! Keep on bloggin on girl!!!

  16. Haha you are so right about some of the bigger blogs that seem to post the same things each day - I say, we need to be ourselves, be totally honest (as you are and I love that!) and just put ourselves out there and be confident rockstars. You go girl!

  17. hahaha that is the best disclaimer i have ever heard. and YES! THANK YOU for your bigger blog comments. it's always the same. seven pictures of your baby, with a line like, "pb&j today. it was a good day." uuhhhh...realllyyy??

  18. I keep coming back to your blog because you're hilarious and honest!!! I think in the end you'll end up with more 'real' followers. People who actually read your blog because they feel like they know you :)

  19. Girl, this post was absolute perfection! You seriously have the gift of online gab and I LOVE reading your posts! So, don't worry if you don't have a Kool-Aid kid mustache to post or have 365 outfits...I will keep reading. This whole blog world takes time...you will get there! You have a voice...a very humorous one. ;) And it's not always about the followers...it's about the people who actually read what you write and not just comment..."cute" or "pretty" or "love it". Drives me nuts...either read my post and it's entirety or move along...it is sometimes an insult. Anyway...enough rambling! Keep on keeping on!
    xo,
