 Cody began a parody blog called "Red Secretary", detailing the (fictional) exploits of a secretary living in Belarus.The events were thinly-veiled allegories for events that happened in Cody's real life, but told from the perspective of a disgruntled, English-idiom-challenged Eastern Bloc girl.Cody's first "bona fide" blog appeared under the nickname "Darling Girl" after she had moved from Chicago to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
