HELL TO THE YAH! SIGN ME UP FOR THIS CLASS: AMBER FREY TAKES ON THE LEARNING ANNEX

Ahh shucks! I can’t believe I missed it! Amber Frey held two seminars at the Learning Annex last week called “An Evening with Amber Frey: Caught in Scott Peterson’s Web of Lies,” where she discussed her involvement with Peterson, the murder trial of Laci and how she had to learn to forgive and call upon her inner strength to overcome the challenges life was throwing at her. O.K., so I was slightly obsessed with the Scott Peterson case. Maybe I listened over and over to her taped phonecalls with Peterson everyday on Court TV (and read the transcripts), could not get through the day without my hero Nancy ‘Goodnight Friend' Grace’s commentary, ran to the bookstore the day Amber Frey: Witness for the Prosecution came out, tore through it two days and watched the TV movie based on it (the book was better), but having an opportunity to go listen to Amber, not to mention possibly getting a glimpse of vicious Gloria “Ballcrushers” Allred would have been a dream come true. Gloria, the publicity whore she is, is always by Amber’s side and I bet she would have been wearing one of her fabulous broaches. Amber lives in Fresno, but you wanna take a guess where they held the seminars? The Learning Annex in San Diego (where Peterson’s parents live, not to mention where he was arrested) and San Francisco (where Scott is spending the remainder of his days on death row). Isn’t it ironic, dontcha’ think? Hey, I know Amber isn’t the brightest bulb on the tree. I have no excuse for her posing for those nude photos with the braces. But, I think considering what Peterson put her through and the privacy she lost in result, she deserves a hella big break. She is a single mom with two children whose fathers basically bailed on her. It is actually quite tragic and sad how she keeps making the same mistakes with men over and over, (Girl! Learn how to use protection!) but I really would have been interested to hear what she had to say. If you know anything about her, you know that she is a good person who, in her desperate hope for love and companionship, trusted men way too easily and way too quickly. What happened to her with Peterson was a frightening realization to many women that we no longer live in a day where we can meet someone seemingly perfect, keep our guards down and let love run its course. Because like Amber learned, that perfect man could also be the perfect murderer or a married son of a bitch.
