As all good Big Head DC readers know, a local blogger who goes by the moniker Princess Sparkle Pony replaced Wonkette editor Alex Pareene yesterday. “She” did a helluva job, as many of her pals have noted, but now a problem bigger than a rained out horse race has arisen: Wonkette did not — and has not to date — given her a byline for her services. Yes, it’s true. For the entire day yesterday, in which she blogged her wholesome heart out, she went nameless in all of her posts. Which is odd, since most other temporary guest editors have received a byline.

The pony’s many fans have started asking her about the oversight, er, dis within the comments section of her own blog:

karenzipdrive said… Don’t you get to sign your name to that stuff over there? Seems unfair.

Kelster93 said… I quite agree with karenzipdrive — Wonkette didn’t even have a note at the top of the page to let folks know that Our Princess was providing the sparkly commentary for the day…

Distributorcap said… if you guest starred on Two and Half Men (that is the Larry Craig
sitcom) you would get a mention — but no mention at wonkette! boo to the ette!

Anonymous said… Why didn’t you get to use your name?

And that’s not all! We hear she’s thinking about filing a lawsuit. Beware, Nick Denton! Looks like there’s another gay mafia in this town.
