Okay… I recently started “Twittering” b/c Deborah Gibson started to. Her official site has been down for a month or so, and just recently came back up. The twittering started when the site came up. Probably all the DGIF members (and other fans) that saw this immediately signed up (if they weren’t signed up already) and started “following” Deb. Since her new official site came up, I have made it pretty well known to the Deb community that I wasn’t happy with it. The site is in fact a wordpress site (like mine), which I don’t have a problem with. The problem I have is it is unoriginal. In fact the guy that “designed” the site didn’t really design it at all. He used a standard wordpress template that was prebuilt. VERY tacky! Especially for a celeb site. The other tacky thing is he used the same template that his own PERSONAL website uses. All he did on Deb’s was change the color of the background and create a new banner. Even the banner he created for Deb looks exactly like his own. You’d think he’d try to make it a LITTLE different. I mean, come on sir… is a little creativity for an artist that writes AND produces her own music too much to ask for???
So now you know how I feel about the design of the new site. Well like I said, I’ve done nothing but bitch and moan about it for the last week on the DGIF forum and even made a comment about how lame I thought it was on my Twitter site. Yesterday, some new images of Deb surfaced up on Wireimage. If you go through them, you’ll see she took her dog with her in studio. She’s had that dog FOREVER… and coincidentally enough, the dog’s name is Daisy. Any Deb fan out there knows about her dog Daisy. Well yesterday I was talking to J, and I made a comment about Daisy. I said something like “Man, I can’t believe she still has that dog. She’s gotta be like 20 yrs old! I hope the dog doesn’t die, b/c then whenever I see Deb I’m always going to remind her of her dead dog!”
We giggled about that a little and we moved on. Fast forward to this morning when I logged into my Twitter site and I see this from Miss Deborah Gibson:
Daisy thanx u 4 the gr8 comments! She’s the best dog ever! SO cool n relaxed! She’s an old gal now….over 10!
Now, if your name was Daisy, you’d probably read the post like I did… (as if she were addressing me personally!)… I read the “tweet” like this:
“Daisy, thank you for the great comments! ….She’s the best dog ever!….”
Wouldn’t you have read it the same way?… ESPECIALLY if you had JUST been talking about her dog the day b4 w/ someone who works for the lady? Even J thought Deb was addressing me in the “tweet”. So we went round and round this morning trying to figure out how Deb knew I was talking about her dog or what “great” comments she was talking about. Finally J figured it out and realized that Deb was saying her dog Daisy is thanking everyone for their comments. TOO FUNNY!!!
I can rest easy now that I know J’s phone isn’t tapped and Deb doesn’t ACTUALLY read my nasty posts on forums, twitter, or otherwise.
