First I would like to thank Adorably Distracted for posting about this because I def. had no clue, and I think that it is important to share this because I feel like alot of us were played for fools!
I'm sure I'm not alone that I among hundreds of other bloggers followed a very popular blog about a girl named Jaqueline called
Well guess what ladies, Miss Musings is a BIG PHONY!!!
Yes, you read that right, the blog titled Miss Musings was pretty much copied and pasted from about a handle full of other honest bloggers.
Many of us were amazed (atleast I was) about how successful she seemed at a young age. She had this wonderful boyfriend who she knew since she was younger, she went on missionary trips, she lived on the beach, she crafted like it was no bodies business, she portrayed herself out to be this almost perfect creature.
I even remember a post she did about how so many people would mail and comment and tell her about how perfect her life was and how they wished they could accomplish the things she's has and that she told them that she chose to only write about the positive things in here life so that she can remember the good times...
IT WASN'T EVEN HER LIFE!
I'm glad I read about this today (if you want to read more go here) because I truly believe this is a hot topic. Not only did this girl steal and plagiarize other people's blogs and work but she deceived the rest of us and made us think that she was something she's not.
That's one thing I pride myself on, is being honest (c'mon that's why we have a hot topic Tuesday!) and especially in the bloggy world that is the only thing we have. We only have the word of that person to go on since we don't really know them in real life.
What do you think about this??
Were you a follower of Miss Musings??
I'm not even going to ask about plagiarizing, because were all big girls and should know that it is wrong.
And if some of you doubt me, go check your reader. You click over to her page and it tells you it's been deleted, as is her Twitter account.
Craziness, I tell you, craziness!

I loved Miss Musings! WTF??? No. Seriously, WTF??
I need more info on this scandal!
Ugh. What a letdown.
My favorite Miss Musing blog was when her boyfriend ran back to a car that was on fire to save the tiny little helpless baby!
Whatever Miss Musing...
Thanks for the shout out love!
ughh i'm so exhausted from talking about this all day. shit is LAME.
so much for her sweet and genuine persona, huh?
lol...oh yeah I forgot about the burning baby...no problem Ruggy, didn't want to MisMus you! : )
Sweet & Genuine my ass, atleast we know now, but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it!
Wow... I hadn't heard about that.
Did she honestly think she wouldn't get caught?
Absolutely ridiculous.
OMG! I always thought some of her posts were too good to be true, but I honestly never imagined that it was ALL fake! Why would someone take the time to be that fake?
Kudos to the person who figured it all out!
what a beezy!
i love your blog...
you've been tagged!
Stephany=)
Eeeep! Geez I have missed way too much!!
I'm baaaaaaaaaack!!
I honestly never read her blog but when I heard about this, it really pissed me off because it gives the rest of us a bad name and makes you question things and blog friends that you have. I refuse to believe that anyone else is like this though and she was a one time thing
Yeah this is pretty ridiculous! I mean it's a blog.. come on.. a blog.. not a research paper! Ha! She must have problems and I hope she is getting help now!
that is crazy. i hope she gets serious ramifications for her actions. i think i may have stumbled upon her blog once or twice, but never followed. and so glad!
Oh shit, really. I followed her. How did you find out? I'm with Gina. I need more info!!! My question is why lie? What do you benefit from lying? You know I didn't think anyone's life was that perfect. Wow, I am shocked.
WOW. I wasn't following her cause I am kind of new to blogging...but what I don't understand is why she would waste her time doing that? Did she have a life?
ok. back when i started my blog in october, i found miss musings. but after a while something just felt off. her life was TOO PERFECT. but i thought i was just being catty.
then, a few months ago, she posted an entry saying that someone had been stealing her posts etc. But something was still off. and then i saw a comment from someone who said she was perpetrator and the truth would come out. soon after i stopped following. i didn't know why i stopped following, but something just felt weird.
now i know what was up. craziness!
NO WAY! I have never even heard of her or read her blog but that is RIDICULOUS! Why the hell would you spend so much time making things up and finding other people's thoughts to plagarize?
unbelievable!
Oh my....
I'm kinda sad I didn't read her before!
I love it when shiz like this comes to light - so scandalous.
Although not the plagerizing (sp?) thing - that just effing pisses me off.
That I don't get.
I could see pretending to be someone, you're essentially escaping your life and creating fiction ( although why in G-ds name you would do this on a blog without saying it's fiction, I don't know.. But I can kinda see it).
But to not at least put forward the effort to come up with your own writing! I don't get it - why do that?
hilarious. I've never read the blog but I'm not shocked it happened.
