Perez Hamilton.....

You may be aware that this is not the only place that I blog. I also have my own blog on Tumblr where I recount my adventures for the benefit of my friends and family back home and a few strange types who apparently have nothing better to do than follow me. I like to look at cool stuff so I follow a few other blogs and I recently came across this one:

http://www.perezhamilton.com/

It is a parody of Perez Hilton's celebrity gossip website. If I may quote from the site's own description (with apologies for slightly risque language):

"Perez Hamilton Will Change Your Life

Imagine if Perez Hilton was around during the founding of America…

That’s us, bitches!!!!!!!

Perez Hamilton delivers the HOTTEST gossip from the New World, as it happens. We deliver ONLY the facts, even when the truth hurts. Our posts are always tagged with the year the news originated.

Who knew learning could be so fun?!!?!"

It's amazing! They post gossipy historical stories from the 1490s onwards in exactly the style of Perez Hilton's blog. It's very funny and a good example of learning without realising you are learning. I think this is a really fun idea and the short articles are a great way to get people thinking. It's definitely one of the least geeky historical sites I've come across.
