Readers, today I thought I would offer you a “behind-the-scenes” look at the inner-workings here at anna in technicolor. No, I don’t mean all of the pinning, basting and unladylike language that goes on during my own personal sewing process.
Rather, a small glimpse at what I go through as a blogger.
So, WordPress has this handy feature in their stats where you can see the exact search terms that people used to find your blog. For the most part, I get things like “1850s dress,” “sewing,” and “draping tutorial” which totally make sense. Occasionally, I get some weird ones, and I’ve decided to share some of these with you for your amusement.*
“i want my diamond back and you will not hear from me again until i re” It stops here. I can only surmise that this person got their diamond back and therefore could stop typing.
“why is mary todd thin in abraham lincoln vampire hunter” I was wondering this too! It’s probably because she had to fight vampires at the Battle of Gettysburg.
“hot reenactor” Why, thank you.
“white chicken fabric yards” Sorry, I only use brown chicken fabric . . .
“cute cat dog pictures together titanic pose” Yeah, don’t know how to respond to this one . . .
“love women who wear petticoats and slips.” Really!? Are you perhaps a single 20-something British man, by any chance?
“free images of corset and fire.” Don’t know why you would need this, but here ya go! I made it so that the corset looks like it’s catching on fire, hope that’s ok.
“Keep out of my room posters.” Yeah, cuz I’m totally known for being a moody teenager. Well, I did just post a picture of a corset on fire . . .
“clothing with half of yard.” No. Just no.
“school marm costume.” I actually get this one a lot, for some reason.
“mens technicolor bathrobe quilt” Is it a technicolor quilted bathrobe, or a quilt made out of bathrobe fabric? I’m confused. See, this is exactly why I was wary about using the word “technicolor” in my blog name. I knew it would create confusion!
“were there cars in the 1850s” No, there weren’t . . .
“michael pitt in a dress” Ok, now this one sorta makes sense. I mean, I talk about dresses like all the time, and I have talked about Michael Pitt before. But Michael Pitt in a dress? Haven’t covered that topic! Yet.
*Please note: this is totally meant to be a tongue-in-cheek post! I’m grateful for every view and comment I receive, even if the way you got here was through searching for corsets and fire.

I love this! So fun!
Yay, I’m glad you thought so! I was really worried about coming off snarky.
I totally know how you feel! I have quite a few odd ones too. I think my favorite may be “nazi jetpack” which makes sense because I have talked about the film The Rocketteer before.
Oh my gosh, that’s hysterical!
I love it! I always enjoy the moment when I figure out the link. I get ‘Heidi klum in diapers’ almost daily….interesting world!
ROTFL!!!!
OH MY GAH, WHO WANTS TO SEE MICHAEL PITT IN A DRESS?!?!
I love search terms. I once got “cross eyed old lady”– wha??
Too funny!
I love this post. Someone got to my blog by searching for “I wanted to make a”.
It isn’t so strange that they found me since I make things… but what were they hoping to stumble across?
How funny! And I would love to know what they wanted to make.
So very funny! It is amazing to see some of the crazy searches that bring in blog traffic.
Thank you! And it is amazing to see some of these crazy searches, and just wonder what some of these people are thinking.
