Actual pitch I just received from a marketer:
We’re fans of your blog, and we especially love your realistic perspective and experience with beauty products. We’re hoping you might be interested in trying our latest skincare discovery and reviewing it on your blog. In only 14 days, you’ll see a significant improvement in the texture and tone of your skin and a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles. If you want to try it and review it on your website, please e-mail us with your full name and address.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Debra
It seemed fairly obvious that Debra hadn’t read my blog at all but I thought I’d just check to give them the benefit of the doubt. My response:
Thanks! As you probably know from my blog, I’m only 16 so I don’t really need wrinkle cream but does it work on babies? Because my daughter has all these wrinkles on her legs and arms and it would be great if I could smooth them out.
PS. My mom said the wrinkles are “fat rolls” and that wrinkle cream won’t work. Do you have any products that removes fat rolls from babies?
Her response came quickly:
Hi there,
Thanks for writing back. We don’t make products for the issue you mentioned.
Have a great weekend,
Debra
And then all bets were off:
I understand. It’s almost impossible to find any products to make your baby less wrinkly. God knows I’ve tried. It does seem, however, like an open market so maybe you guys should look into making something like that. It should make babies less fat and wrinkly and also maybe…glittery? Vampire babies are totally hot right now so I bet you’d sell a shitload of that stuff. But call it something really descriptive because I refuse to put baby powder on my baby because I I suspect that it’s powder made from babies.
PS. My mom says that baby powder is powder for babies but I just pointed out that babies smell good and baby powder smells good and therefore baby powder is probably made from powdered babies. That’s why they’re so vague in the name…so that you don’t know if it’s made from babies or not. I’m just saying, descriptions matter.
PPS. Don’t make the product from powdered babies if you can help it because PETA’s gonna be all up in your business if you do. Unless babies aren’t considered animals. Then you’re probably fine.
Surprisingly, there has been no response.

You are my hero.
I don’t know how your brain works, but I like it.
Melissa´s last blog ..Sundays In My City
It is so powdered babies…that’s why they tried to get people to use corn starch instead of baby powder. They didn’t want to admit the whole baby powder made from babies thing so they tried to get people to use corn starch made from corn. Those of us who were smart so didn’t fall for it.
::snort:: My kid is not glittery…I think that may be his problem. BINGO!
Y’know, sometimes I really want to be you. Even if just for one day.
PS: If I ever do wake up to discover I’m you, I promise to stay away from your husband until our minds switch back to the correct bodies.
Evn´s last blog ..I cant decide whether Im flattered or disturbed
From now on, I shall send to you all of the ridiculous, totally irrelevant, generic, form-letter pitches I receive from marketers … all of which usually begin with “Dear Mr.” That’s it. Not “Dear Mr. Jon” or “Dear Mr. Scratches” or even “Dear Mr. Asshole”; just “Dear Mr.”
I know from reading your blog that, in addition to writing about beauty products, you are happy to handle drafting responses to all of the bullshit pitches that other bloggers receive, right? Isn’t that what you do? When you’re not making your baby sparkly, that is.

I guarantee Debra went straight to the bar after this one.
The correct response from Debra would have been something like “No, we don’t make products to reduce wrinkles from your baby’s butt, but we do make products to make your leathery skin feel as smooth as a baby’s bottom.” She really missed an opportunity here.

I love marketers. Maybe they should make “marketing pitch powder”. It could be made from powdered ad pitches. It would be glittery, of course.
Sierra Black´s last blog ..Best Misadventure Ever
Awesome. Seriously. And how stupid does Debra feel? Or maybe she feels really smart because she’s stealing your idea to pitch to her bosses. And BAM! The Bloggess is out millions of dollars.
Also, because of your use of the word “douchecanoe” (not in this post specifically, but I think we all know it applies to Debra), I’m making a pillow for my sister in law that says that. She’s going to think it’s awesome. So really, you’re making people look good left and right. Or really bad. And possibly fired.

I wonder if Debra decided that maybe she should go back and read your blog now. In which case she still is headed straight to the bar, but only because she is depressed that she cannot be as awesome as you.
don’t forget about your pug’s wrinkled face! there needs to be a product to remove the wrinkles/rabbits from their foreheads. but minus the glitter. vampires, not so big in the dog world. unless maybe you’re snoop dogg. could you imagine him as a vampire, all pretty and sparkly. i totally could! ok, now try to imagine him moving as fast as a vampire. yeah, i can’t either. he definitely has a shot at the role of smoke monster if they make a LOST movie though.
heather´s last blog ..the web this week
If you convinced them to make the babies glittery before making them into powder, you’d really be onto something. That glittery baby powder would sell like hotcakes. Oooo, maybe you could make pancakes out of babies and then sell them to vampires, but instead of syrup, they’d be topped with blood, OBVIOUSLY. And then there could be a product called true babies once PETA got wind of the whole baby hotcakes thing and shut it down.

If you can’t handle marketing at least lead us in stopping these baby powderers. It’s not right.

(well, you posted this under ‘posts that will get me hate mail.’ i just wanted to oblige, even I giggled the entire way through writing my comment.)
You so totally rock.
Love the blog, you go girl!!!!!
Maybe they make cream to remove centaurs from your face, because I vaguely remember you having an issue with centaur face a while back. Or was it a unicorn. Hmmmm.
I wonder if they make something to repel ducks from pooing on concrete surfaces? Because that stuff I’d buy. Duck-away or please-I’ve-already-washed-the-concrete-today-why-don’t-you-go-play-in-your-POND-instead-of-sitting-at-my-front-door-peeping-at-me.

As soon as I read that, I totally lost it. I swear, milk came out my nose. And I’m not even drinking milk! That’s how realistic you are – you’re so realistic that you can make totally real milk appear where there was previously no milk. I swear, you’re the freakin’ Messiah. Only with milk instead of wine. Which begs the question, what’s wrong with you? Wine is totally better than milk, on so many levels. Though it’s probably not very nice coming out one’s nose. Never mind.

Dear Jenny, Debra called me and asked me if you were freakin wiggidy whack. I said maybe she should actually read blogs before pitching their shit to them, and that I was working on a baby free powder for babies and she could SUCKIT. love ya babe. keep up the good shit

If Debbie’s smart she’ll start reading your blog and become a big fan and maybe send you some real business or whatever.

Wrinkle cream on your baby! Indeed! Everyone knows that the best way to deal with fat rolls on your baby is to knead the baby well and then roll it out with a rolling pin. It’s even more effective if you sprinkle some baby powder on the baby first for smooth rolling. You may be 16 but there’s still so much you don’t know about the world.
Baby food, too. Lots of parents love baby food. It smells like babies and there’s a picture of a baby on the jar.

Diet pills and thighmasters for babies? Come on with the obesity epidemic, it’s a win-win to start these babies out early; skinny babies who grow into skinny adults. How about Spanx for infants? I say we get these babies geared up for what they’ll face 40, 50 years from now. It’s never too early. Ha!

Here’s the thing – I actually do ready your blog (frequently during office hours much to my boss’ dismay). Ever since you, Guy Kawasaki, and Clint Eastwood’s stunt double were almost attacked by a giant squid. I almost feel like a pariah reading these! And then I want to prove that I read your blog and I feel super creepy and stalker-ish because I can tell you who both James Garfield and Kris Kristofferson are.
Arg, not to mar this totally honest (and serious) post, what’s your new address? (Hey, not expecting a new home address! But surely, you’ll get a new PO box, etc!) Give us a chance to prove that some marketers actually read your blog!

I’m convinced Debra is a robot.
So I think you should find yourself a baby, cover it with glittery powder and then send a picture of it to Debra with a “HA! This is how you do it biotch!” Or something like that.
Oh- if you can’t find a baby to try it out on- go get that fox in your backyard. Because who doesn’t love a glittery fox?!?!
SuzRocks´s last blog ..Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about scrotums and other such stuff

If you fail to write your review within 30 days, you will be charged $89.99 for first shipment and $89.99 for each subsequent shipment until you cancel your contract in writing which must be signed notarized and sealed in blood, thanks again!”
Second, because I have always had a sick sense of humor (Oblongs are seriously my favorite!), I immediately thought of all the dead baby jokes I learned in school. Now, I of course don’t want to kill babies, or even hear about real dead babies, nothing will make me turn the channel quicker. But “what’s red and sits in the corner-a dead baby. What’s green and sits in the corner-same baby 3 days later”. That’s funny shit. Right? Hello? *cricket Damn, they always run away…

thanks for the laugh.

Meghan´s last blog ..Should be Wordless Wednesday
Have you ever thought about ironing your baby? It would probably get rid of the wrinkles but then you’re left with a nasty red rash. It’s like you can’t win. P.S. Please don’t try that at home (or on babies in general). I’m no rocket scientist but it’s probably for the best.
So if she actually read your blog her response should have been something like:
“Really? You’re 16? Cause you’ve got your picture posted and you don’t look 16. You REALLY need this wrinkle cream!”
Not that you look old or anything, just not 16. You’ve got a nice maturity to you, to wise looking to be 16. I’m making this worse aren’t I. I’ll shut up now.
Jenny, somehow I’m thinking maybe you are @CorpzFlowrLois. I will know for sure in abt 4hours.

Good Lord, I would KILL to be on the receiving side of those emails. I wonder, do they finally check your blog AFTER reading that shit? I would hope so. I mean, to ignore the possibility that some 16 year old is trying to get rid of baby rolls is a bit concerning.
Also, you have inspired me to consider going a bit over the top on some of my own emails from offers. Gearing up and rubbing my hands together…
