I think Wonkette is foxy.

She's cute, but she's no Mia.

I imagined that she'd be much heavier.

What a lousy person I am.

Don't feel bad, FL. At the Antic Muse she used to insist she was vastly fat and had to wear a muu-muu, plus her graphic looked on the portly side. She was just messing with us.

Y'all know about Google image searches, right? Look, there's Wonkette, and here's our very own Belle.

Bet you $5 that's not your very own Belle.

Are you being cryptic, or literal, or are there two Belle Warings?

The pictured Belle Waring taught at an MFA program in Vermont College, where she received her own MFA in 1988 (previously having obtained degrees in nursing and English), and worked for what seems like a fair length of time. Apparently nursing appears frequently in her poetry. The Belle who has a blog doesn't have much to say about her life as a professional nurse.

And I mean really, does this or this">http://www.sarabandebooks.org/sie/chatarchive/1002044257123">this sound like the Belle you know?

I've never gotten the impression that Belle is 53, either.

Ben 1, Ogged 0. Sorry Belle. Two Belle Warings though? What do you have to say about this?

Also, she (the one in the pictures) looks nothing like Mia.

Hey, don't rub it in, ok?
