Warning: Explicit content may offend...

In response to Hannah’s post regarding professional bloggers, I would like to share two sites that I personally enjoy: www.maxtucker.com and http://girlwithaonetrackmind.blogspot.com/. These two blogs basically feature controversial (and hilarious) real life stories from their daily lives, both resulting in best selling books.

Tucker Max recounts his drunk, obnoxious, womanising ways with absolutely no remorse, shame or anonymity. On the other hand, Abby Lee (a pseudonym) uses her blog to share sexual exploits and resulting her feelings and thoughts.

What is especially interesting is how they have both been affected by the celebrity that has accompanied their success: a mixture of praise and disgust.

Tucker Max, who embraces fame, is the first to admit that his notoriety has only further enabled and encouraged him to act like an even bigger menace, providing him with even juicer fodder to share with his devotees, whilst Abby Lee, who endeavoured to remain anonymous (but was later ‘outed’ in the media by the London Sunday Times) has experienced quite a negative backlash in response to her frank and explicit sexual diary.

Not only did she lose her job as a result of her outing, but she and her family became the target of the merciless British tabloid press, causing quite significant ramifications to all of their lives.

Anyway, I thought these were two interesting examples of people that have experienced fame and success through blogging. I highly recommend checking out their sites if you are keen for a fun and smutty read!
