“We lived in London...where I grew up on humbugs, bubble and squeak, Mary Poppins, and Monty Python’s Flying Circus.”
-- Valorie Fisher

I was born Ohio in 1957. My siblings were born in Alabama and California, and when I was seven we crossed the Atlantic Ocean leaving Swarthmore, Pennsylvania for “Swinging” London. We lived in London for the next seven years, where I grew up on humbugs, bubble and squeak, Mary Poppins, and Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Teens @ Random: How did a Maryland chick and an OC babe come together in Manhattan?

Julie: We got our start the same way all great relationships do–the Internet!

Shallon: It’s only slightly less sleazy than it sounds; we were the only girls writing for CollegeHumor.com in 2004. I loved her sense of humor and she admired my use of puns. And the rest is history!
