Alice really needs no introduction, but we will go ahead with it anyway.....

The Mommybloggers are exceedingly proud to feature the talented Alice Bradley of Finslippy.

For those of you unfamiliar with her work, we first wonder where you have BEEN for Pete's sake, and then suggest you go to her blog and start reading. Be prepared to cackle with laughter, and then be prepared to wonder where she learned to DO that. The writing. There's magic in it.

We asked a few of her fans what they think. This is what they had to say:

Mary Feels adoration and a wee bit of envy for her:

Alice is one of the best writers in the Blogosphere. She is funny and her quirky self-effacing style is all her own. Even when she is writing about something horrible and personal, I find myself laughing my ass off. Unfortunately, after I laugh my ass off, I usually want to cry and then burn whatever it is I am writing at the moment. Yes, I am a tad envious of the Finslippy's powerful prose, but aren't we all?

Mrs. Kennedy admires the gamut Alice runs when she weaves her tales:

Alice is one of the few writers, Internet or otherwise, who can make me LOL. She always says the unexpected thing; her posts can turn on a dime from laughter to tears. Melissa of Suburban Bliss once said something to the effect of that whenever she saw that Alice had updated Finslippy, her heart skipped a beat. I don't think I can say it any better than that.

She had Jenijen at thrice:

I admire Alice for her double super powers of writing so very well and so very honestly. Last summer at BlogHer we were in the Mommyblogging audience together and she said something (oh shit, I THINK, but maybe I've forgotten the context) about how she didn't want her (mommy)blog to come across as: "Today Henry pooped thrice." And, well, she had me at "thrice!" I've been happily reading ever since. Also, Alice is really cool. The kind of cool that you might go home and secretly try to copy, say fashionwise, but maybe you wouldn't really admit that because it sounds stalkerish even though it totally is not.

Julie can relate to her:

Where do I start? She is AMAZING. I remember quotes from her posts even months after she's published them - that's how much her writing sticks with me. And her stories about moving from Brooklyn to New Jersey have been making me cry (I'm still homesick myself).

Beth appreciates her great work:

It is critically important that you not read Finslippy if there is a sleeping child in the house, because you will certainly wake them up with your snorting and howling. Alice's writing is hilarious, but also a highly-intelligent running commentary on a carefully observed life. Every time I read one of Alice's posts, I find myself wishing that I could have written it, but then I would miss out on the extreme pleasure of reading it and that would be too great a sacrifice to make.

Julie loves Alice's candor:

The thing I love most about Alice's blog is her thoughtful honesty. Most recently, her descriptions of her family's adjustment moving from the city to the 'burbs has really touched me. It isn't easy to be so forthcoming in a blog, especially on one that has as many readers as hers does. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her writing and her willingness to put it all out there.

Tracey doesn't leave much to question:

Beneath Alice's mild-mannered exterior lurks the heart of an asskicking kung-fu master of most righteous storytelling. Don't make her angry. You won't like her when she's angry. Saying I love and admire Alice is like saying the Titanic had a little accident, or that Paris Hilton is mildly repulsive. I adore both the woman and the succulent, juicy nuggets of brilliance she shares with all of us on Finslippy. Alice, you fucking rock. [insert me giving The Goat. HARD.]

Amanda adores her in person and from afar:

Before I met Alice, I thought she was the funniest writer on the web. I mean, did you read that toddler quarterly objectives letter?!? But then I met her and I realized that writing isn’t really what she does best – BEING ALICE is her true talent. She talks EXACTLY how she writes – she’s that brilliant ALL THE TIME. She is the funniest human I’ve ever met.

She makes JenB laugh, among other things:

i love alice with the fire of a thousand suns. she is wicked smart and mind bogglingly funny. like pee a little funny. she can spin a yarn like very few people can. she is a genius talent as a writer and a human being.

Alice, whatever you do, please make sure it involves writing, because we can't get enough.
