You know how on the Muppet Show Kermit would always stand in front of the curtain and say, "And now ladies and gentlemen, here is..."? They were always adding to their cast of characters too! (Which leads us to the inevitable question of "If I'm Kermit than which character is Alex?!")

Today I'm lucky enough to introduce Paige Schilt. Paige is Director of Media and Public Relations for Soulforce. As always, this is Paige's personal blogging space and doesn't reflect on any organizational connections she might have; there's more to her than her job! She is also a dyke mama, a "low-femme" nerd, and a part-time professor of LGBT studies. In spite of her diplomatic demeanor, she harbors a soft spot for angry music, pissed-off politics, and grouchy old butches.

Be sure to leave Paige a warm welcome! She's eager to join the madness, so let's make her feel at home. (And there's a bonus video of John Cleese on the Muppet Show after the jump to entice you to make the click! *grins*)
