Fame Monster: Lady Gaga vs. The Minnesota Matron

According That Grape Juice, Lady GaGa instructed Vogue magazine that she has "one of the greatest voices in the industry."

Lady Gaga

My, my, tuts the demure midwestern mild-mannered Matron. People from Minnesota are not supposed to toot their own horns.

Student to Matron: "You're the best teacher I've ever had!"
Horrified Matron: "NO I'M NOT!"

John to Matron: "You look stunning today."
Matron: "Stop messing with me."

Now, the Matronly circle of influence is relatively small. She's a medium-sized fish in a medium-sized town and at a medium-sized college. Her range is limited. Lady GaGa, however, has the hormones necessary to place herself at the forefront of an entire global industry.

My, my, tuts the Matron.

So in that spirit:

The Matron is one of the best (if barely known) writers in the blogosphere -- when it comes to sheer narrative and prose. There, she did it. Friends, she's shaking and sweating to find herself so out of character.

Did the earth move? If you see a few stars fall tonight or the sky crack open in a Biblical sense, it's her fault.

The Matron is the best cook in her house!

Okay, not true.

The Matron is a great traveler and is looking forward to her flight home from Chicago tomorrow!

Again, not true.

Let's stick with the good writing thing.

Midwestern Matron

Friends: be bold!! What are you good at that you're proud of?

Your post made me laugh, it's very engaging.
My only claim is that I like to write - not saying I'm good at it by any stretch, but I enjoy it so that's good enough for me!

At least that's my goal - and the definition of "great" is purely subjective. Have to say Lady GaGa seems to be mostly flash and dazzle [translated: marketing] that has been carefully crafted and aimed at a marketplace buyer that will buy. Her latest is the digital download album via Amazon...that that is quite a marketing coup. Now if I could just stop the internet 'cause so many people wanted a print of my "Camellia Window" artwork, well, now that would be something! I liked this post Minnesota Matron! Hmm, wonder if I should change my moniker to Lady DigiArt?

In other words, I'm super organized :-)

(I used to hate that - I wanted a more "fun/cool" strength, but I'll take it...)
