Jen responds: No. I know I said that I didn’t want to talk about Boobquake anymore, but I can’t help myself when data crunching is involved. Well, it’s also hard to ignore when dozens and dozens of people are tweeting at me asking if I’m wearing anything revealing. For the rest of my life I’m …

Is there going to be Boobquake 2?
Today is the one year anniversary of boobquake, an accidental internet meme that I created at this blog. I’m not going to retell the story since it already has a Wikipedia article, which is also evidence of how viral it went (that, and being mentioned on the Colbert Report). I’ve heard the question hundreds of …

Yes, I know
My boobs are stock footage for Fox News (0:16). You can all stop sending me the video now. Maybe that’s why we kept having earthquakes since boobquake. Maybe my cleavage keeps appearing on television! God, could Fox News get any more evil? Stop causing natural disasters!

Interview at the Journal and Courier
My old local newspaper in Lafayette, IN has a nice interview with me about how my life is still a little crazy post boobquake. I think it’s a good one – go check it out. My favorite comment on the story so far is the one that calls me smelly. The creativity is overwhelming!

Oh, how things change
I rediscovered my old Xanga blog the other day. Most of my entries are from age 13 to 15*, so it’s both painful and hilarious to read. For example, I found a post where I was whining about fashion – nothing new there, I suppose, but I loved this line from 2003 (bolded): None of …

‘Tis the season for giving
Boobquake is still making an impact months later*. You may remember that I sold some boobquake t-shirts in my store promising the royalties would go to charity. The total royalities earned from boobquake shirts was $621.87, and my April volume bonus thanks to the shirts was $369.53. That’s a total of $991.40 raised from Boobquake! …

Still feeling aftershocks from boobquake
On Friday I was interviewed by Definitely Not the Opera on the CBC, which I’m told is sort of the Canadian equivalent to This American Life on NPR. I was for their episode “What happens when you make your ‘private parts’ public,” and of course I talked about boobquake. It was a fun interview, and …

I like it to actually have a point
There’s been a new meme running around Facebook recently. If you haven’t heard about it, or if you’ve been confused by it, allow me to post the original message to explain what it is: Remember the game last year about what colour bra you were wearing at the moment? The purpose was to increase awareness …

A new boobquake song?
It’s called Boys Love Earthquakes by Nichole Alden. I think it has to be about boobquake, but it’s not explicitly clarified anywhere. Here are some of the lyrics: Cover your headBeauty must hideSilence your lipsKeeping InsideFar too tempting to uncover what they mightBeautiful girl, this submission isn’t right Lower your headBody must bowPurity gives excuse …

Boobquake: The Game
I can now add “Having a game made out of it” to my boobquake meme’s growing list of accomplishments. I’m not sure where it fits in with appearing on the Colbert Report and having a Wikipedia article, but it’s up there. Here’s the trailer: I admit I felt about every emotion possible while watching that. …
