Talented Talisha - Seamstress, Secretary, and Paralegal Too!

Jennifer posted this today:

"I received a few emails last night from Talisha pretending to be a paralegal from Illinois. I knew it was from her because it was the same IP address she uses. And it was from a yahoo email address and very, very unprofessional. Anyway, she threatened to sue me for creating this blog, which you all know, I didn't. She claimed it was illegal to post a sellers address on the interenet. She's just getting scared. That's not even true. Once you start operating a business from your home, you lose that privacy. It's like saying it's illegal to post Applebee's address. She also claimed I was guilty of slander, but of course, I've never said anything untrue about her. Maybe she should get back to work sewing and not coming up with new aliases."

I must say, the first thing that occurred to me on learning this is that Talisha must think we believe she's rather wealthy, since she's trying to convince us she has enough money to coax a paralegal to work on a Sunday evening. Also, any paralegal would know that by definition, "slander" only applies to spoken words, while "libel" is the term that applies to written/published words. Not to mention the fact that Talisha's spelling and grammar haven't improved any. Can you believe she's trying to start a clerical business?

The primary thing I take from this email, though, is that Talisha has just confirmed for us that one of the addresses that are listed on this site is correct. In case you missed them earlier, here they are again:

2860 Pool Road 4 Trlr, Paducah, KY 42003

307 Hayes Ave., Paducah, KY 42003

4131 Clarks River Road 425 Lot, Paducah, KY 42003

A quick search on Mapquest.com will show you that all 3 of thes addresses are real, and all within a few miles of each other:


Whether there is a "4 trailer" on 2860 Pool Rd, I'm not sure, but the satellite photos from www.terraserver.com appear to indeed be showing a trailer park. 4131 Clarks River Rd, however, does not seem to show any houses of any kind, but of course the blurry images are hard to make out. It could just be the address of an empty lot.

Either way, it's clear that Talisha is nervous. In spite of the fact that she seems to have abandoned Ladys and Lads (negative comments on the site are no longer being taken down, it hasn't been updated in a while, and all the products have been removed), she still is worried enough about this site to harass random people. It's also clear that she has no idea who created this site. Maybe she hopes she can just email a bunch of people and eventually someone will fess up.

  1. Try maps.google.com
    Their images are very clear for all three "addresses."
    The first address is a trailer park. Click on the arrows on the street in "street view" and you'll eventually arrive at a few trailers. The 2nd address is in a less than ritzy neighborhood, but the address gets you to an exact home.
    The third address is a highway! It takes you to an approximate location, but if you click those arrows there you end up under an overpass. Don't know where she'd plug her sewing machine up down there. . .

  2. Don't mess with pissed-off cloth-diapering mama's!!! You guys rock with your satellite pics and url tracking... But seriously - even if she's nervous, that doesn't get us our money back... what can be done, in a civil court or criminal court? I have pretty much kissed my $25 away, but I want to see her held responsible for her actions.

  3. Well, living in a trailer park, sewing up tablecloths in "diapers" I am betting she is flat broke. So a lawsuit would be a waste of time...however, she IS breaking the law and doing it over state lines, through the mail and online could get her trailer park tail into a new living situation.

  4. Read the page advertising her "clerical" business. She has the grammar of a fifth grader. Too funny. Who would hire her to write for them? "for the discerning illiterate"
