If you like Natalie’s writing here at The Siren, check out her new blog Vegetarian News & Views. She’s got the feminist, animal-rights thing in the bag. But don’t worry, she’s assured me she’ll still be delivering some news our way from time to time, too. — E
It should come as no surprise to regular Siren readers that I’m a CFL convert. I am an unapologetic environmentalist and like spreading the word on simple tips and ways to live a more eco-friendly life (check out the Eco Stuff section) while still feeling comfortable and not appearing to be a raging hippie (sorry…

My kind of fun! The Sin Sity Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are hosting Bingo at Free Zone on April 6 from 5-7 p.m. The theme is pixies and fairies so don’t forget the glitter! There are prizes. And all proceeds go to charity. — E

Also, I love the idea of pictures with gnomes or Hello Kitties or whatever in them. We should do that around here. Hello Kitty at Vagina Monologues. Hello Kitty at the Bellagio fountains. Awesome! — E
