Hop on Diablo Cody Pop: Article of the Week

I've had a girl crush on Diablo Cody since seeing the trailer for her soon-to-be-released film, Juno before Darjeeling Limited last month and even though I've yet to see it myself, I've heard only incredible things from reliable sources. I started e-stalking Cody the second I saw the Juno trailer (see below), finding much to my "you go girl" surprise that first-time screen-writer Cody was a former stripper cum blogger cum memoirist cum screen-writer d'awesome... And POW: a hero was born:

Diablo Cody = Sha-wing.

Cody done made herself a star. By being herself and being good at it. My top hat goes off to her.

Fed up with a dull copy-typist job at an ad agency, she decided to give the finger to her middle-class, suburban, Catholic-school upbringing and get naked. She spent a year strutting for tips and gawking at the seedy suckers waving their dollar bills, though while her colleagues were undulating around the stage like drugged eels, she punctuated her routines with screeching ninja kicks. When she started chronicling the experience on her divinely crude blog, The Pussy Ranch, she decided to ditch her real name. ''I'm writing on the Internet,'' she says. ''I'm writing about sex work. I wanted to maintain some anonymity so I didn't get f---ing killed.''

I really want to give her a high-five. Or get her drunk enough to make out with her in a bathroom. Because she's ballsy and smart (and CRAZY hot) and making it happen her way. And that's an inspiration (not to mention sexytimesathousand.)
