Recently, I wrote a blog post on the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Captain Smack and his highly engaged blog, “This Is Your Captain Speaking“. My search to uncover his whereabouts led me to popping a red pill and jumping head-first down the rabbit hole (trust me, there was no other way). What I found was a blogging Wonderland awash in funky fresh blogs; a large percentage of them penned by badass women bloggers.
Now, do you ever get tired of the same old blog fodder floating around the social space? You know what I’m talking about; the ones with the snazzy titles that only serve to camouflage the same old redundant blog posts? “12 Things We Can Learn About Social Media from Swans“, “What David Hasselhoff Can Teach Us About Marketing” and “Klout: Great Taste or Less Filling?” Ugh. Clicking on a link to a blog post these days is akin to entering a restroom stall with the hopes of relieving yourself only to find an abandoned turd floating in the toilet. Can I get an amen? Well, here’s some good news. I’m about to share with you 5 blogs written by some fierce women bloggers that will help put the spice back into your blogging experience…and maybe even into your bedroom! OK, so maybe I’m pushing it just a bit, but here they are:
Sandra is the voice behind Absolutely Narcissism. She’s the mother of four lovely children but is looking to redefine herself so that her identity is not just about being “the mother of four lovely children” (got that?). Her blog takes a humorous look at her life and her passions. With blog posts such as: Ladies Do NOT Fart! and Don’t Hate Me Because I Think Mean Things, how can you possibly go wrong?
Noa, the brains behind Oh, Noa., is on a mission to make you laugh, and to brighten your day a little bit. As Noa herself puts it, “I’m on a mission for you, bitches.” Armed with sarcasm and sharp comic timing, she’s your one-stop shop for the funny. She’s also a proud supporter of the League of Funny Bitches, nuff said? Check out: The Dangerballs Guide To Being The Best At Marriage and Chairs Make Better People Than You Do and see if I ain’t lying.
Becky, the writer behind Bexst*r, hails from New Zealand and, as she puts it, “talks a lot of shit.” Although she would like to say in her defense, “my shit is always awesome.” She’s the vulgar naughty kid your mama warned you not to befriend. She also claims to be a little bit mental and confesses to swearing…alot. With posts such as How To Not Be a Douche Taxi Passenger and the hilarious Your ‘How To’ Guide for Some of Life’s Awkward Situations, I think you’ll agree that her shit is, indeed, pretty awesome.
Brit is the writer behind blunt delivery. As she puts it: “I was born an innocent and trusting child. But somewhere, someone popped my glittery pink balloon and that crap got all messed up.” Currently, she’s a a stay at home, non-showered writer, photographer and aspiring neurosurgeon (you heard right). She believes in getting to the point without pulling punches as evidenced in posts such as Gandhi’s Top 4 Tips On How To Have A Crappy Blog and her brutally honest journal of her grandpa’s passing in Death, Donuts, And A Cigarette In The Morning. Blunt = Blog Awesomeness.
Jennifer is the writer behind When Pigs Fly. She’s a recovering people pleaser and domestic goddess who works part time, rides horses, and rants about the state of the world. Her ivy league liberal arts education has afforded her an in depth knowledge of the mixed drink and early Italian Renaissance artists. Fortunately, she’s put her writing talents and literary aspirations on the front burner as evidenced in posts like Remain Calm and Don’t Scream at the Babysitter – the 1099 Wasn’t Her Idea and From the Halls of Crap. Can I get a witness?
So there you have it. Five funky fresh blogs that offer the reader something other than the usual social media marketing technobabble. Now stop dining on the same old microwaveable TV dinners and take a bite out of some freshly charred 16-Oz Prime New York Strip (with some fried potato skins and a spicy Zinfandel on the side!). These badass bloggers serve it up perfectly pink, so go ahead…dig in.

Never told you… after that last blog post about Capt. Smack – I went on my own odyssey looking. It’s sort of a challenge – and I wanted to test my internet forensics skills. Well, came up with my own dead ends – but had a glimpse into the guys life. Glad you found some nice bloggers in your own adventure.
If you seek, you shall surely find. It’s like looking for a decent pizza joint here in South Florida (having been born and raised in NYC), after about 171 crappy places, you find a good one.
Good luck with your search…
Amen! Amen! Dan, your post had me in stitches. I’m off to discover iIf these five women whom I’ve missed until now are as much a pleasure to read as your introductions to them, I promise I’ll never again say that a 14-year-old can whoop you in a test of The Dozens.
It’s a humbling day when you get you ass whupped by your 14 year old on facebook. Or is it just that I’ve raised another badass blogger that’s going to kick the rest of the blogging world in the proverbial “cojones” in a few years. Yeah, I like that better 🙂
Dan..
1. Stop.yourself.
2. I am beyond shocked to be included in this group of badass amazing ladies!!!
3. speaking of badass, takes one to know one. 😉 Oh shizzzzz.
4. And if anyones bedroom is gettin spiced up over this post, it betta be mine. Cus, man, otherwise I just quit life.
5. Thanks. 😉
Brit,
First thing first: Shut the front door. Please. You shouldn’t be shocked. It’s because of you and these other bloggers (thanks, Captain Smack!) that I realized that there’s more to blogging than the decomposing turds I usually find in the blogging toilet bowl that is social media.
That thing you do? Keep doing it…
PS – and good luck with the whole spicy bedroom thing 🙂
Love finding hot, fresh material. Looking forward to checking them out!
Peggy
To all that is holy and awesome. I love these women!
Thanks for sharing. I love me some badass women bloggers and will definitely subscribe to all!
Anne, always good to see Punkettes on my modest little blog. Enjoy these badasses…
This list is badass… and so are all these women!
You might just find yourself on my next list of badass women bloggers. Stay tuned…
Abby, You were actually on my original list of 10 but then I decided to not overwhelm people with too much badassery and cut it to 5. There will be a Part II forthcoming…
When you say “badass”, do you mean their asses ain’t all that? 😉
Always nice to find new, and more importantly QUALITY, content, so cheers for that!
I can’t speak on the quality of their asses but only of their literary badassery. Thanks for sharing & stopping by, sir.
Great job, Dan. I haven’t heard of any of these women but will go explore now.
Thanks for doing what YOU do!
I aim to please. You know that…
yep. When I think of someone who just wants to blend in and make everyone happy, yours is the first name that comes to mind 🙂
Touché.
What, no Erika Napoletano? Worse yet, no ME?!
Everybody knows Erika (she lives well above the rabbit hole). She does rock, though…
Thank you for expanding my circle of “reads”! Very excited to dig in. Thanks!
Amen. 🙂
OOOh, came running b/c I love badass.
LOVE the three I know. Don’t know Bexstar and blunt deliver, but will definitely get to know them now.
Thanks for this: the internet is short on bad ass.
Appreciate the smiles about to come my way: thank you!
There’s plenty there to keep you spitting up your beverage with hearty snorts of laughter – Happy reading!
Dan, I can’t wait to check these out! They sound positively sinful. Love your writing style, too! 😉
Sinful is the word. Don’t let your mom peek over your shoulder when reading! Hugs 🙂
Well at the moment I was overcome with jealousy that these snarky women made your list, my first thought was “THOSE BITCHES!” …. but then I finished off the box of wine and all was right with the world.

Wine does seem to calm the savage breast, yes? I’ll be stopping by your blog as well, thanks for the comment 🙂
Thanks for bringing these blogs to my attention – following all of them now! Check out mine too 🙂 http://www.imcharmingyou.com – and my friend Simone http://www.skinnydip.ca -Toronto Bloggers are badass too 🙂
Val, I’m always on the lookout for blogosphere badassery. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I LOVE SANDRA. And now I have four more bad ass women to go love. This is awesome.
Nice post, as usual.
Sarah,

You have recognized a huge talent in Sandra. Absolutely Narcissism is by far one of the best blogs I read and I read A LOT. She’s funny, honest, blunt, and the best part is that she has a huge crush on me and we’re running away together (sans kids) to the beach. Seriously, she’s awesome.
I’ve been a follower of Blunt for a while now, but I’m definitely going to have to check those others out!
Noa, Bex, and Sandra are pretty much the shit. I’m looking forward to checking out the others! Thanks for sharing.
Sandra rocks.
I may have a girl crush…and I kinda like it!
Sandra (Absolutely Narcissism) is clever, funny, one of my
favorite bloggers and, yes, totally badass! Aside from all that, she’s a very
nice person too. 🙂 Your recognition of her is well-deserved.
I’m not familiar with the other bloggers listed here but
since you were so savvy and spot on about Sandra’s blog, Dan, I’ll definitely
have to check them out.
Big congrats to Sandra and the other badass women bloggers!

Nice! I’ve been searching for some new fabulous reads. I also love the incomparable penelope trunk. Google her and you wont be sorry.
[…] Besides being a kick @ss filmmaker, blogger and producer, Dan is a new virtual friend of mine. You’ll find all sorts of great stuff on his blog. Everything from his thank you letter to an ATT customer service rep The Ballad of Patsy Brown to funny stuff to his latest blog discoveries from his trip down the “rabbit hole.” I must send him a big thanks for featuring me on his recent post 5 Badass Women Bloggers You Should Be Following. […]
Eff it. I’m sharing/whoring myself. Ow, my angst http://karensomethingorother.blogspot.com
Great female blogger suggestions. Thought I would share with everyone.
Dan- thanks for this post (sorry I hadn’t seen it sooner!) these are too cool and a good reminder how the content of my new blog needs to be better than the dull.. we shall see! That said, since you asked for sharing of other good blogs, here goes one: I wanted to point out a “bad ass business woman” that I met recently at the TedXMiami event- Jessica Kizorek of http://www.jessicakizorek.com. Imaginate- she totally made me wake up when she hands out “dog tags” that say- I AM A BADASS BUSINESS WOMAN”… loveedd it!!! I took a photo with her and she put her dog tag in her mouth.. lovee it again! Given your background in film- you may like her other site: http://www.twoparrot.com
There ya have it- someone that I met literally for 5 mins and had an impact- that’s badass! Saludos..
