Oh my God! She's coming! She's really coming for an entire evening. An evening with Amber Frey!! Didn't you hear me for Christ's sake? It's AN EVENING WITH AMBER FREY!!!
No seriously.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Learning Annex (purveyors of "Stop Dreaming & Start Writing") is offering an event called "An Evening With Amber Frey," and no, it's not a one-on-one thing with a happy ending.

When you really think about it, an evening is a hell of a lot of time to fill. Sure, there was that thing of being "the other woman" in the Scott Peterson murder trial, but how the hell is she going to fill an entire evening? I hope it ends with tap dancing. Not just regular tap dancing, but big, full-on, Sammy Davis Jr. windmill tap dancing. Or maybe close-up magic. ("Was your card the three of diamonds?") Or perhaps, as in The Vagina Monologues, she'll sit on a stool dressed in black, telling little vignettes separated by theatrical blackouts.

Here's the twist, though: The evening with Amber Frey is toted as a self-help seminar. Seriously. In this one evening, you can learn "How to Change Stumbling Blocks Into Stepping Stones." Well fuck me with the festering stump of a crusty sailor with scurvy -- who knew!

Yes, if you attend, you will learn to:

Transform adversity into opportunity.

Change direction and set new goals.

Have faith and courage in yourself.

All this for $20! And taught by -- Amber Frey!!

1. People still care about Scott Peterson?

2. i bet Fox "News" will send a camera crew with her.

Greta Van Sustren will probably broadcast from the event.

5. WHO?

:shrug:

Who are any of these people?

[johnnie]

8. You don't know who Scott Peterson is?

The sick fuck killed his wife and unborn son and then threw them into the water. He played the "poor husband" for a while and then when they were on to him he tried to run.
He had an affair with this Amber Fry and she risked her safety to catch him on tape for the cops to bust him.
You don't watch, listen to or read the news?

9. well I guess I do now

I don't watch network news - I read the news online but if the headline looks trivial I just skip over it.

6. her talk is titled:

"I inspired the killing of a pregnant woman who I had cuckoled." it's only slightly better than her other talk, "Pay me money bitch, or I'll get your husband to kill you."

7. The whole article was really funny.....

it sure had me laughing!!!

[Hugin]

10. I'd rather spend an evening with "Anthony" from the "Kicked out of MotP"..

Story.

11. Doesn't she know her 15 minutes is.....

Well, over.....

12. I say more power to her.

She's been villified here and all over the place, but she didn't know she was involved with a murderer, or even that he was married. It may have taken her a while to figure out what was going on, but when she did, she helped the cops catch him.

Believe me, she's not making big bucks on a Learning Annex class.

If that's what she wants to do, then I say go for it.
