Good, Clean Fun: a Meh-rathon
From an interview with Alicia Prescott in The Chronicle of Cleaning:
Q: Do you find, having written about a maid, that there’s pressure on you to be as tidy as your protagonist?
A: Yes, absolutely. And it gets harder when you’re on the road for a book tour. How can you put yourself forward as an authority on cleanliness if you arrive with unkempt clothing wrinkled from travel?
What better day for a spring-cleaning-themed Meh-ration than March 12th, the birthday of author Alicia Prescott? Creator of the character Ms. Theroux, the mystery-solving maid who appears in over 40 novels, Prescott has come to be known as “the queen of clean” in literary circles. So, stick around all day as we share excerpts from Prescott’s work, as well as tidbits from her letters, interviews, reviews, and more. Oh, and there will be deals too. On cleaning products. And also non-cleaning products.
Meh-rathon
What’s a Meh-rathon?
Normally, Meh is all about one deal per day—simple. But sometimes, we throw that out the window. A Meh-rathon is an all-day gauntlet of nonstop deals. One after another, untill we run out of stuff (or patience). It's chaotic. It's fun. It's a terrible way to shop responsibly. You've been warned.
