The votes are in…

in Random Crap

Okay…the votes are in and thousands of you have made it clear that 1. we’re all a bit bored and in need of distractions at the minute and that 2. my taxidermied llama/alpaca (that died of natural causes, I assure you) clearly had one name rise to the top during our voting period.

Introducing…

FLEECE WITHERSPOON.

PS. Tomorrow at 2pm (central) I’m taking over the Mom2summit instagram page because they asked me to do a quick livestream talking about how I deal with writer’s block and I didn’t know how to do that so I just tried it on my instagram and then 1,000 people accidentally showed up and so I did a tour of my taxidermy.  It’s on my instagram, I think?  Not sure how long it stays up before it disappears but if you want to see it and my messy house and ridiculous pets I think it’s somewhere?  I suck at technology and instagram is purposely confusing.  Sorry.

PPS. Special thanks to everyone who suggested names and voted and to @finn_viqueen who I believe first suggested “Fleece Witherspool”.  🙂

  2. I love seeing your emails! I laughed/snorted at the name! I voted for something different, but in THAT outfit Fleece is clearly a fashion icon in the making.

  4. Fleece is perfect! Gender neutral, a warning about scammers, and a cozy image all rolled and tucked and glued and preserved into your latest (?) darling. Thank you Jenny. You are a light in this weirdest of worlds.

  9. Seriously just lol-ed for real. The outfit makes it. Thank you this!

  12. So what you’re saying is that today is taxidermy day and tomorrow is writer’s block day? Ok. Here for it and tuned in!

  14. An addition of a strand of pearls will complete Fleece’s stylish outfit! On a more serious note, Jenny, you offer the world so much in the way of creativity, and best of all, love. Heartfelt thanks and love back at ya!

  15. I love this! Can she do the bend and snap? Is she going to have an array of outfits? She is the llama this lockdown needs. Clearly. As for Instagram- it confuses me at least once a day, so you’re not alone and I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about writers block. I’ve got a fierce case of getting started block.

  17. I love the name! And her little hat and bow are so damn adorable.

    I hope all y’all are handling this well. Hang in there.

  20. Lots of Love to you and Fleece, and the rest of your menagerie. You bring a bright spot to this dreary world. I mean that. Thank You!

  21. Baaahaaahaaahaaa re the accidental instangram show – sounds like something I’d do too. And I love the name! Fleece Witherspoon – perfect and that bow!

  24. Please, please, please, tell me she has a spoon tucked in her bow somewhere so Fleece Witherspoon can be Fleece With-her-spoon (unless she has a handbag doggo, in which case you have to call him “Spoon”)

  25. I want to know how to deal with writer’s block, so I guess I will be stalking you on Twitter. I don’t have the insta because I am a fuddy-duddy, and I’m totally okay with that. But Twitter will at least link me to your post, so there’s that. Best wishes! Have fun!

  27. I honestly can’t remember what my choice was, but Fleece Witherspoon is absolutely perfect, especially once she’s dressed up like Elle. My gosh, you could have different outfits for every film, depending on how you’re feeling–I can’t wait for June Carter Cash. She’ll need a wig…and an autoharp.

  29. That is perfect, and I love that movie.

    Dear Bloggess, when I get the email updates your link is broken because there is no . after ‘thebloggess’ and com. Small thing but can ya fix that please? Add the dot (.) before the ‘com’

  34. But Fleece doesn’t have the ubiquitous dog-in-a-bag as Reese’s character has. Ah well, that’s all the better for Fleece and any dog so small!

  35. Fleece has the sweetest face! And has the chihuahua’s eyes lol!
    PS How is your sister doing?

  36. Fleece is fierce on that pink pill box that. I’m here for it!

  38. AhhhhhHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! Weeping!!!! That is so perfectly horribly perfect and funny!!! If I were you, I’d continue to answer the door with her. The outfit can only help things.

    Thanks for this!

  43. You need to give her a spoon… otherwise, she’s “FLEECE WITHOUTHERSPOON.”

  45. Oh, Fleece could use a llampaca-sized pearl necklace, too. That would be amazing.

  47. She needs PEARLS! What a lovely llama/alpaca. She is truly a southern lady 🙂 Thanks for the laugh!
