Praise for Birdie's work:


"What Birdie discovered about people – and herself – went more than skin deep." - Positive Thinking Magazine

"Her posts draw more than 1,000 hits a day from readers fascinated by the woman who buys antiwrinkle cream for her pet monkey Hubert or by the wife who orders Bust-Sculpt Contouring ointment for her husband, who ingests it as an alternative to Viagra." - Time Magazine

"Birdie Jaworski, an Avon Products Inc. representative in rural Las Vegas, N.M., has developed one of the most popular blogs hosted at news Web site Salon.com... One reason for Ms. Jaworski's popularity: her unvarnished reviews of Avon products, which she tries before peddling to customers." - Wall Street Journal

Birdie's collection of stories about Las Vegas, New Mexico, A Mom Called Paladin, will be published in Spring 2008.
