This is our last night in America. We fly back home tomorrow ... all of this air conditioning caused HAVOC on my skin.
In one hour, the 6.30 with George Negus show on Channel Ten will show a piece on Australian bloggers, featuring myself and Mrs Woog. We are both relieved to be out of the country, because we feel a little like tools. We're staying up to watch it unfold on twitter, of course.
If you are a blogger, please feel free to comment below with your blog name and a short bio about your blog. I think the Australian blogosphere is ready for its close-up.
What's a blog?

You are too brilliant for words Eden, xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteUm. Hi there, I'm a Mumbler in Orstraylia. I know Eden and I know ALL about her oily T section. She is our Ambassador because this here, is what Orstraylian Mumbling in about.
ReplyDeleteSING IT SISTER!

ReplyDeleteIS ABOUT. IS! See? I am a fabulous writer.
ReplyDeleteI'm a mummy blogger which in my case means someone who shares things about as exciting as my shopping list. It's not my fault my life isn't more exciting! It's still fun to be in it; the blogging community is why I'm here.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can be friends with someone who has an oily t-section.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog Eden :)
ReplyDeleteI'm an Aussie Mumbler too, but I'm living the not-really-an-expat life in Belgium. The thought of watching George Negus makes me homesick!! :p
You rock.
Ooh! I better make sure I make it home in time to catch Georgey in that case!
ReplyDeleteHUZZAH!
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
x
Love it!Am out of the mother country too - but I'm sure I'll catch it on here.
ReplyDeleteMum on the Run :
Mummy blogger chasing sanity - but finding hilarity instead.
Thanks for the laugh.
:-)
Oooh? A Blog? Isn't that one of those scary things where you tell too much personal shit on the internet and put a picture up of yourself and then someone can come find you and shoot you for the stupid shit you say?
ReplyDeleteNo, thank you,
NO, thank you.
Go bloggers!
ReplyDeleteAustralian blogosphere may be ready for its close up but I'm not!!! Where's the red lippy! Hey I'm a mummy blogger which means I write in pyjamas with no makeup usually between witching hour and the wot wots.
ReplyDeleteSTILL laughing at how you and woog call each other, "Mate."
ReplyDeleteLOVED hearing that.
xo
I do miss you.
What's a blog?
ReplyDeleteChookas for Negus. I'm almost too scared to watch.
I'll be watching! Love the Aussie blogosphere ! Go us! Go you!
ReplyDeleteOoooh. Did you know the old Vegemite cures thrush too? On a tampon? Totes for real.
ReplyDeleteI may even watch TV tonight. Me and 6.30 "news" is not usually a go, but for you Eden, I may switch on to have a look see.
Looking forward to having you back my lovely...
xx
OK, here I was thinking NO ONE is reading comments this low (BabytMac SNAPS to you for getting in early, even if you did have a typo) but then I see The Diminisher mention Vegemite on a tampon for treating thrush and I think BOOYEAH - people totally reading comments this far down.
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know me, harrumph.
I like walks in my head on long sandy beaches or through the Australian bush. That way I get all the views and sweeping soundtrack without the sand, sunburn or bugs. Win Win!
I'm over at http://www.allconsuming.com.au
I bet that doesn't link properly and just looks dicky.
Story of my life really.
I'm proud to be represented by you and Mrs Woog on the Nege's show!
ReplyDeleteA blog is something that most people in my real life TOTALLY do not understand. It is also a safe haven, an outlet, an expression. It can lead to awesomeness.
I fucking love you. Best video ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm taping it because I'll be out when it's on but I can't wait to watch it!! Go the Mummy-Bloggers!! I can't imagine two better ambassadors :)
ReplyDeleteMy hotel bathroom stinks like vegemite and there is a suss brown smear on a washer.
ReplyDeleteI have a pubic vanity blog http://mrswoogsmarvelousmerkins.wordpress.com/ come and say hi!
xx
I bet u guys are having a ball!
ReplyDeleteI write over at Team Mummy, honestly its just another mummy blog...mainly about my stuff ups as a mum or what me and my babes get up to. www.eboniesmummy.blogspot.com
xx
I'm making a brief exception to my I-don't-watch-TV rule for this interview.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you girls.
(Do you suppose George knew what a Mummy Blogger was before this)?
MMMAAAATTTEEE you totes did it HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA! I fucken NEED A LAUGH right now, am off to watch George Negus. Love you brozone x
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm an Australian Bloggere..based in Tasmania. I blog Inspirational stories & other Info I find.. I have thoasands of Video's on my Tv Channel http://bejah.isofa.tv (iSofa's #1 and most watched Tv Channel - found in over 190 country's with links to it on my site.. Hope you enjoy @RichardBejah RICH :0)
ReplyDeleteYou were awesome on the news! I was so excited about seeing you on there. Yours is my favourite blog :)
ReplyDeleteI watched, you were both great. Although I was a bit put out that they put up a lable saying that you were Mrs Woog.
ReplyDeleteI used to blog before it was trendy and then removed it when my two oldest kids became teens. They didn't want their lives splashed all over the internet.
I'm not a mum, so I'm not a mumblogger... does that make me a wannabeblogger?
ReplyDeleteEden, you give us all permission to be ourselves, if only in our blogs....
http://nicolaisbuildingadream.blogspot.com/
Vegemite behind your ears also prevents Drop Bear attacks, which is super important in Australia.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing you both on George tonight! Even hubby watched along with me! I'm still so jealous that you got a tat at the LA Ink tattoo shop!!
ReplyDeleteI found out about the segment about an hour after it aired - typical for a mum! Hope to catch it online. Was busy with a sick little girl, and wish I had more time to blog, when I do it's about balancing work and family at Professional Parents: http://professionalparents.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteLook forward to reading your posts.
Renee
You are awesome! I'm going to put it out there that vegemite is also a great treatment for cold-sores and big red angry zits. Doesn't sting at all. It's the shiz!
ReplyDeleteBloody T-box stopped recording halfway through your George Negus segment, so have to find it online.
You where both awesome.FUCKING BRILLIANT TO BE STRAIGHT UP. Well done & come home safely.
ReplyDeleteDamn! Missed it! Not a usual Negus fan, I saw him talk once when I was a student, and all he could talk about was how he was an aging sex-symbol. From a student's perspective he just looked like an ego-centric old wanker. Congrats on being on it though - awesome that bloggers are getting more attention. Looks like you are having a brilliant time in the US! Loving reading about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteHaha love your beauty routine!
ReplyDeleteI actually filmed you on TV but my internet toook fooorrreeevvverrrr to upload it but I finally did it and then bing up went the Ch10 one. I thought I could get it up right after I filmed it but my net was way too slow. Oh well know I did it for you and Mrs Woogs as I didn't want you to have to wait till I expected tomorrow or later for CH10 to put it up.

ReplyDeleteFinally caught it Perth time - you guys rocked.
ReplyDeleteAs a new blogger, yours and Mrs Woogs were some of the first few I followed. You both crack me up and are an inspiration. Love the uses of vegemite

I've saved the link to watch when I have a quiet chance. Or else I'll just shut the door and leave the troops to themselves, and watch it. Yay Aussie bloggers :)
ReplyDeleteI blog about whatever interests me, photography, art, crafts, kids, autism, shopping, handmade stuff, everyday life! http://danielleq.com
Howdy!
ReplyDeleteI'm Karen and I write a blog called The Morley Report. Which is all things Morley.
There is my son Jake aka Baby Jake who is turning 21 this year (but still Baby Jake to me) and Embee Louise Morley, my 5yo Cavoodle Dog, named of course after Michael Buble the singer. MB, Embee...
Just saw your story tonight on Channel 10 here in Brisbane, Australia and I think we share a passion for telling a good story!
Great to meet you and I look forward to more good reads from your blog!
Karen
Fucking hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get sick of blogging (as if!) then you could totally get a gig selling skin products.
Congratulations, it was a great segment - I've been looking forward to it ever since I heard you speak at Blogopolis. So happy for you and woogsworld!
ReplyDeleteBoredom Abounds By Julia - Books. Movies. TV. Other stuff.
I'm Michelle but my friends call me Farmers Wifey.. you and Mrs Woog may remember me from two recent Sydney functions where this little farm chick hit the big city and drank way into the night at a bar called the Old Folks home or something like that, and kissed a stuffed cow who was stealing peanuts. I thought I was back in the country....
ReplyDeleteOMG! You are bloody hysterical girl!!! Now I understand the tweets about smelling like Vegemite. Bahahahaha I love you Eden Riley!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, you are a living legend in the blogosphere so I hear/read. Now I see it with my own eyes.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is essentially me sharing all things I find beautiful (the simple things), with a bit about my journey to find inner calm in a modern, busy mum's world thrown in. I also share all things Finnish.

My name is Jac and I'm a raving mad mother of 5 kids + a step daughter. I blog about the chaos that is our life. Hoping one day I can look back in humour at all the crazy stuff we do to keep our little people happy. You can find me ranting here: www.commonchaos.com
ReplyDeleteLuv Jac.
PS.You are totally freaking inspirational. Thanks!
I am a blogger from America and adore you. I came across the Sydney dorkplate the other day and actually snorted out loud.
ReplyDeleteJesus, think of how far this has evolved lady -- A-MAAAZ-ING.
I blog at www.bloodsigns.wordpress.com I'm an American but I like to consider myself an F.O.E. (Friend of Eden) from the bad old days. I've always wanted to be HUGE in Australia. That's actually true. Ask Eden.
OX,
Pam
Bugger! I'm in bed with my iPad and can't press play or will wake up my husband, who by the way has similar plans to your Dave for his future!
ReplyDeleteI watched it and it was FAB! The little travelers actually squealed out loud when you popped up on the screen "there's OUR Eden who does the dance!"
ReplyDeleteWell done to you and Mrs Woog, I've loved reading the updates and I am so there next year.

@shamozal
I've had vegemite. Not a fan. I still remember the smell. [I just vomited a little in my mouth at the recall]
ReplyDeleteI do hope you left a note for that poor housekeeper in the hotel. I can only imagine her horror at the stains on the sink and towels. 'Those Aussie Mumblers! You'd never guess what sick and twisted bitches they are!'
You should leave a note. Be kind - don't tell her you eat the stuff.
:::gag:::
What the fuck is going on Down Under? First you take over our cinema with the Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman bullshite ("shite" is the Olde English pronunciation of "shit"), now you're infiltrating our blogging/facial cream markets? What next? A lovely vegemite douche? A Kangaroo entrail condom? Crikey!
ReplyDeleteYou were brilliant, I was totally proud. You did good kid xx
ReplyDeletePsst Lucy I don't even want to KNOW how you know that *fingers in ears* la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaaaa
You were brilliant, I was totally proud. You did good kid xx
ReplyDeletePsst Lucy I don't even want to KNOW how you know that *fingers in ears* la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaaaa
I am just going to echo St Murphy.
ReplyDeleteFar too fucking fantastic for words.
awesome work Eden! Great to see you living the dream
ReplyDeleteI just saw it over on Oh Gorgeous Baby's blog and you were both just so gorgeous I nearly wept. CONGRATULATIONS on being recognised at BlogHer. How fab are you!?!?!?!? WOOT! x
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Congrats on your BlogHer appearance and flying the Aussie Bloggers flag. It is great to find other Aussie bloggers - I will be back!
ReplyDeleteRemember to remove all traces before heading to the coast, land sharks love the stuff, and they have a nasty bite.
ReplyDeleteAmazing opportunity for you bloggy girls, have loved the updates and feel like we've been almost part of it! Enjoy the ride home and the welcome when you get here!
ReplyDeleteA blog is a village.
ReplyDeleteA mummyblogger is a village of women separated by the globalization of this world. As we no longer live in huts side by side and grind wheat into flour or dance every night around a fire to share our worries and concerns. Its bizarre, we are bizarre, the world is bizarre.
Also we like the to put breakfast spread on our face...OK.
We are all wankers and tools TOO....OK
You did real good Eden!
Loving your work & that of your partner in crime Woogsie. Got terribly excited seeing you both on tv. Had to laugh at the poor Hamish McDonald (?) who was filling in for George. He appeared to have been whipped by a bunch of tweeting mummy bloggers who were rightly excited & pissed off that we had to wait til the last 5 minutes of the show to see you. We will rule the world one day!
ReplyDeletewww.boomerangjane21.blogspot.com I'm lazy & thereby write very infrequently. My 17 year old son seems to be enjoying the notoriety from being ridiculed in my blog & keeps asking when I'll be writing some more. Soon son, soon. Keep doing all the stupid things 17 yo boys do and I'll soon have enough material for a novel or three.
Loved seeing you on 6:30. It was great to see you at BlogHer. Woot!
ReplyDeleteMy blog is called At Home Mum http://www.athomemum.com
Taped Negus and wathced once kids in bed - you both rock!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome adventure.
I have been blogging just over a year and love the connections I am making. None of my IRL friends 'get it'. Oh well.
Nice post!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eden, I enjoyed the visit. ;)
Oh so THAT'S why my skin sucks... I've been EATING the vegemite. What a dickhead.
ReplyDeletethe moment you completely won my heart was when you called yourself a wanker at blogopolis. it's exactly the sort of thing I would at the very least think, if not say, about myself in a similar situation. You further sucked me in when your written words made my husband cry.
ReplyDeletei'm finding my voice and my 'niche' sts after 4+ years of blogging I've changed direction and enjoying the new things I am discovering about myself, this big bad world and the people in it.
You rock.
Tatum xx
Great to see you guys over there waving the Aussie flag - well done, you both came across so well on TV :)
ReplyDeletewww.memybestandi.blogspot.com
really glad to have met you. and really glad to have heard you read that cool & sad post about subversive art.
ReplyDeletelove your blog! i can't believe i didn't found you until now.. i'm over at sh1ft.org/blog :)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOf all of that...the one thing I can't believe you did is brush your teeth with vegemite!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a story one of my dark skinned british relatives told me (yes we are a very odd family) - her colleague expressed surprise that she had a jar of vegemite in her office, saying "I didn't think you'd eat vegemite"
Her response? "Oh honey I don't eat it, that's my foundation. Matches perfectly".
Best part - delivered with a completely straight face and the coworker had NO IDEA what to say and walked out in shock...
***
I love what you all are doing for Aussie Blogging - you were both fantastic on the news :)
It wasn't too long ago I hadn't even come across another blogger that lived in Oz! If someone has to represent us all, I'm glad it's you.
