Why “Queen of Spain?” Back before blogging was cool, a friend thought Erin was being obnoxious. He asked the now infamous question “Who the F do you think you are, the Queen of Spain?” and a legend was born (in her own mind). When it came time to choose a blog name, it seemed clear. This was a soapbox, and Queen of Spain = Obnoxious Erin.
A note to PR agencies and marketers: Queen of Spain blog does not review products or services. I will also not host a giveaway, offer discounts to my readers for your product, or generally pimp you for no good reason other than you think because I am a mommyblogger I should get excited for a 5% off deal. This is a parent blog and political blog and personal blog, not the New York Times. I write about my life and your coupon or product does not belong shoved in the middle of my life stories.
Any products or services previously mentioned on this blog or in it’s archives are null and void and were given away on my Ustream show and only promoted here.
@queenofspain on Twitter *might* mention a product you send, and will fully disclose that it was sent to her and at what cost, however odds are slim to none. If you want to take your chances contact queenmediallc@gmail.com. Your best bet is to BUY AN AD on the right sidebar below the fold or get to know me really, really well and then beg.

Why Spain? I lived in Madrid for three years: Jan. 92- end 94. I follow your blog/tweets for the politics, but I’m curious about the title…
So, how was your interview with Obama?
