And besides I think the real question here is who <i>wouldnt</i> be interested in ferrets in cancan dresses? Old anthropomorphic taxidermy is fascinating and Ive collected an entire menagerie of creatures that make up my personal posse. Cuban pirate alligators Shakespearean mice heavily armed squirrels vampire-slaying ducklings. Im not sure how you say no to those. My husband can but Im fairly sure theres something not right about him. Anyone who can turn his nose up at the Last Supper constructed of Victorian kittens has a problem. I suspect its because hes a Republican.</p>  <p><strong>Lancaster:</strong> Who would you say is more powerful The Bloggess Army or the KISS Army? Compare and contrast. </p>  <p><strong>Lawson:</strong>  My gut says the Bloggess Army is a bit more intimidating because we dont dress up like kitties but Id probably still pick the KISS Army because Gene Simmons scares the shit out of me. Plus my fans are less of an army and more of a collection of misfit minions looking to have a good time. Actually now that I think about it theres probably a lot of crossover with the KISS Army. We should host a potluck together. </p> <p><strong>Lancaster:</strong> Can you believe some people dont know what a confidence wig is?</p> <p><strong>Lawson:</strong> Right?! Its shocking how often I walk in with one and I hear people whispering about the poor cancer patient that just walked in. <i>Im not a cancer patient people</i>. I just wear a wig to increase confidence. Plus if I really mortify myself I can just run to the bathroom throw away the wig and come back in and ask everyone who invited the crazy blonde that just crawled out of the bathroom window. <i>There is no downside</i>.</p> <p><strong>Lancaster:</strong> What??s it going to take for Nathan Fillion to send you a photo of himself holding a ball of twine? </p> <p><strong>Lawson:</strong> I think it??s going to take Nathan Fillion ho
