Lauren graduated from Purdue University in 2005 with a degree in English Education. She has not formally made use of this degree except to correct her superiors’ grammar upon request, even though her commitment to proper usage is poor. She is not ashamed.

Lauren was a scandalous teen/single mother of one until 2007, when she was legitimized in the eyes of the law by marrying Chef. She, Chef, and eight-year-old Ethan still live in Indiana with their four fat cats.

Blogging for about eight years in various locations, she was the founder of Feministe and designed Pandagon, Hugo Schwyzer, Bitch PhD, Skippy The Bush Kangaroo, and Republic of T, among others.

The picture of Lauren to the right was taken at least five years ago, as she does not like cameras, and does not photograph well. Today, Lauren’s bangs are slightly longer than pictured and she is not nearly as wide-eyed and fresh-faced. She will abuse your comma, pet your kitty, and dominate your spelling bee. She also makes damn good chili and is known to accept bribes.
