Abigail's Teen Diary

Sunday, May 31, 2009


Abigail is a 13-year-old girl with Bloomberger's Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that has rearranged her DNA so she looks like a chubby, hairy, middle-aged man. Abigail has held on to her sweet, girlish personality, but life can sure be complicated for a teenager who looks like she could be her own dad. In her video diary, Abigail shares her daily struggles, comments on pop culture, and introduces us to other Bloomberger's sufferers, her parents, her very (very, very) attentive Spanish tutor, and her rakish uncle, Agaton. (Doesn't he look like Rich Fulcher from The Mighty Boosh?)

Abigail is a very courageous young lady, and there's nothing funny about her video diary. If it makes you laugh, you're just a bad, bad person. Especially if you laugh at this one.

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
