The Suburban Kamikaze site hostess and party planner P.M. Dunnigan is a freelance writer and journalist whose published work has, up until this point, been serious and respectable journalism of the variety that contains a lot of "facts" and "figures" and makes frequent use of the word "litigation." Deep down, she has always been a far more frivolous person for whom nothing destroys the satisfaction of a well-executed piece of writing more than getting paid for it. She is currently at work on a collection of grievances.
