Ribbon Costume
Hi. Did you miss us? We will tell a quick story from the early days of Support Our Ribbons, before we had a blog, before we even had ribbons.
Way back in 2004, when the dream of parody ribbon magnets was no more real than the idea of an airship that can cross the Atlantic is today, the crew at SOR started scouring the web for ribbons. Their searches returned piles of debris: hundreds of companies offering cheesy patriotic ribbons in quantities from one to one thousand, the same two editorials about the utility or futility of ribbon magnets, and nothing else. Nothing to suggest that the American Spirit still breathed in this nation, nothing to remind this nation of Her greatness. Until this:
Support Our Ribbons learned that day that America had Her Spirit. And that Support Our Ribbons had a friend.
Please visit Blogorelli, the ribbon-costumed heroine. She came to our Ribbon Release Party some time back, and leads a terribly interesting life.
From TMJ: Not a Hot New Sex Act:
So, apparently I have bruxism, “the clenching of the upper and lower jaw…during sleep.” … Just another reason to get in bed with me, boys…I could possibly clench your finger or something off with my awesome jaw strength while we sleep.
Thank you.

Jake you forgot to mention the irony that the SOR crew and ms. blogorelli practically live on the same street! Now that is just nuts.
I think it’s safe to say that Somerville, MA is the international universal world capital of ribbon parody.

It’s true! Great minds think alike…or should I say 2 blocks apart? Thanks for the mention, boys; you know I’d never pass up the chance to sink my teethinto a custom SOR, er, ribbon!
Arf arf,
Blogorelli
