Subscribe and keep in the Muse know



So here at The Muse Behind The Mask we have been very busy figuring out way to keep our readers informed since we aren't a daily update blog.

And by George I think we have figured it out. The Muse will be offering two ways to keep in the know. One being an email subscription and the other a live feed that can link to your favorite account source (ex. google, yahoo). That way every time you log in you can see a live update! FUN FUN.

The shiney new widgets will be kept below on the right hand side bar under all the Muse of the Month information. This is a learning expirence for us too so if there is an icky in the system let us know and we will try to work it out.

Stay tuned and subscribe so you don't miss out on any fun interviews or updates!


Smooches,

Things With Wings And Other Things!

I hope everyone had a great mini-vacation and enjoyed the WONDERFUL weather (well wonderful in NY) I could smell the BBQ's a mile away.

Now back to Things With Wings

Really these ladies are amazing and lucky to be on vacation. I actually ran into Things With Wings a long time ago and was lucky enough to buy one of their pieces that now adorns my desk at work. Actually people ask me if I made it and regretfully I have to say no. HAHA..

We will be writing up the interview upon their return. I really want to thanks everyone for voting it was a great turn out. There will be an update post to let you know when the interview will be uploaded. In the mean time I am toiling over how to set up an email update list so when a new interview is posted I can send out a universal update.

Again thank you to all the people who voted but also to all the people who were nominated. Remember you can nominate anyone at any time all you have to do is email me the nomination and you will be on the list. Only 10 spots available so please act soon.

Smooches,
