Miss Malaprop-Blog of the Week
Yet another one of my favorite blogs to read is called Miss Malaprop. First of all, isn’t the name adorable? I was curious about how she came up with the name for her blog and discovered that it was really a play on her name and that if she were a DJ her name would be DJ Malaprop. Cute, right? She also contributes the name to her “literary and theater geekdom”.
Well, “DJ Malaprop” is actually the wondeful Mallory who is the gal in charge of this blog. Originally from Gulfport, Mississippi, she is currently living in New Orleans. In her free time she enjoys making reconstructed clothing and accessories (check out Dismantled Designs), is involved in doing the online publicity for the New Orleans Craft Mafia and manages a few online communities. Where does she find the time to write about “Indie Finds for Your Uncommon Life”?
For Mallory, starting Miss Malaprop was for a combination of reasons. She wanted a place to share her thoughts on three things. She was looking to spread the word on small business owners and independent designers, document her mission on leading a more environmentally friendly and socially responsible lifestyle, and to talk about what is really going on in New Orleans and help showcase NOLA and Gulf South based artists and businesses. Amazing! I fell in love with Mallory’s blog because of these things and because of how she feels about the small businessperson. She believes in them and believes in trying to make a difference in the world.
Visit Miss Malaprop and add this great blog to your favorites list! Oh, and one more thing…Mallory and I have similar tastes. Her favorite shop is called Trashy Diva, a store that she and I have both featured on our blogs. The coolest news, however, is that Mallory just scored her dream job with Trashy Diva and is very excited about working there! Let’s all congratulate her and celebrate her new job!!
I wanted to share a couple of fun and unique items from Mallory’s site, Dismantled Designs…

Like what you have to say. Your blog makes good since to me.
[...] Mixed Plate Blog is an indie shopping blog run by Liana, who lives in Honolulu, Hawaii (I’m so jealous!). She also runs On A Friday, where she sells her handcrafted jewelry and paper products. Liana just featured MissMalaprop as her blog of the week yesterday….great minds think alike I suppose, because I’d already been planning to feature her on this week’s Blogs We Love! As she even points out, our similar tastes have led us both to recently do spotlights on the fab New Orleans-based clothing company Trashy Diva. Mixed Plate is one of the blogs I read daily…I love reading it because I know that Liana is sure to discover some amazing indie shop or designer that I’d never heard about before. [...]
