It’s Evil Beet’s Birthday!!
March 24th, 2009 by Spiteful LarsWendie mentioned it earlier in the day, but our queen Evil Beet is celebrating her birthday today, make sure you give her some Twitter Love or comment on how much you appreciate her in your life! She’s the hardest working woman in show business and it’s important to be nice every once in awhile, if only to switch things up.
In her honor, I’d like to present:
Ten Things You Might Not Have Known about The Evil Beet
1. She once worked for Leroy’s Big House o’ Warplanes. She’s shaken Buzz Aldrin’s hand. And she once complained to me, re: Live Free or Die Hard, that F-35 planes weren’t operational yet, and thus shouldn’t have been in the movie.
2. She’s a dynamo at code and has a degree in computer science. Which is scary given she’s a tremendous writer too.
3. She once had a boyfriend who ended statements with .net. As in “I think I’m hungry… .net.”
4. Her mom is super tiny. But great too. Funny and warm, she’s a poquito dynamo. I’ve asked her to adopt me and I think she’s considering it.
5. Her sister works on an UNDERWATER SPACE STATION!! It’s like what they send into space, but 1,000 feet underwater. Beat that! (Note: I may not have all my facts straight on this one)
6. Her Grandpa Sam is in better shape than me. And you.
7. The bikini logo came from the fact that “Evil Beet” originally became her nickname because of a sunburn.
8. She was named after a Joan Baez song. And she was damn near named Charly!
9. Two years ago she was thrilled when she was doing 1/30th of the web traffic she’s doing now. So you can see world domination isn’t too far off…
and finally:
10. She’s a lovely human and good friend. She puts herself out there daily for everyone to pass judgment on, she’s painfully honest, and she works hard at her chosen profession.
And when it snows her eyes become large and the light which she shines can be seen…
Happy Birthday Beet! You are beloved.

Happy birthday !!!
happy birthday beet!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
Happy Birthday! Best gift I can give, is you are a fox on the outside, smarty & witty & funny, but seemingly the perfect type girl on inside with a heart of gold. Happy Birthday Sasha, I don’t know you, but I love reading what you have to say in this circus world! & glad you started this site, I get the lowdown before most networks hit it (ET canada usually runs all your stories) if that is a compliment (hope so)….and that’s network, which says a lot.
happy birthday beet
eat lots of cake
Awwwww, thank you all SO MUCH for your sweet comments, and thank you to Lars for writing this up. You guys made my whole day.
And the most ironic thing is that they filmed the F-35 scenes for Live Free and Die Hard less than a mile from where we were working to DEVELOP the plane that they were claiming was operational. WE WATCHED THEM FILM. The damn thing’s STILL not being used by the military and probably won’t be until 2010 at the very earliest. AND I’d like to add that the communications encryption software was coded BY ME, so I was very offended at the suggestion that it could be so easily hacked. That is my rant for the day.
Thank you all again. You rock so hard.
I’m very impressed. Touché, Sasha, touché.
How does one go from coding communications encryption software for the military to writing a celebrity gossip blog??? I mean, don’t get me wrong… the latter would seemingly be more entertaining. It just seems like a huge leap from one to the other.
It was an extremely strange journey, and a painful one, but I’m glad it all played out like it did. I’m much happier with my current career.
I read EvilBeet every single day. You are funny and acerbic and just dang right on. I couldn’t believe it when you came up here to the NW and fit right in! I didn’t see it coming. Welcome this year–I have a feeling it will bring white light and pure love.
Hi Beet/Sasha! I’ve been reading your site for more than a year now, and I simply can’t live without reading your gossip blog. Once when I had an out of town (and out of signal) assignment, I just HAD to find a way to read the blog through mobile. I love you and the site THAT much. :)
And on a personal note, I’ve also been reading your other blog. The day I’ve read that you’ll start to actively search for love, I began praying everyday that you’ll find your better half. That’s my birthday wish for you, dear.
Stay pretty! Lots of people love you.
Happy birthday Beet! You look stunning in your avatar, I love the lipstick shade you have on! I hope that you’re having a wonderful day, I hope we get to hear all about it!
Awww. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEET!!!!!!!!
Love,

Anyways, have a great day and God bless you.
