The Blort Lady's sister
Also known as Catherine A. Bordi

Planet Blortland arose in the mind of an innocent and hopeful child, a girl who treasured her own spirit. Although she is now an adult, her child self remains in full and fragrant bloom.

Diana Hinnrichs, known as the "Blort Lady," grew up in Northern California in a large family which was often in turmoil. Her disturbing experiences led her to dream again and again of a safe planet where such things could not happen, and at age fourteen she began drawing, sewing, and sharing her comforting Blortland companions.

As the years passed, even though Diana's need for escape grew less, her exploration and love of the planet continued to steadily evolve. More than twenty years have slipped by since the first Cloud Blorts appeared to tenderly offer Diana refuge. The simple planet they came from is now so lushly detailed and complex that it may rival your knowledge of earth. For the first time, the Planet Blortland Website offers others a significant vision of Diana's sanctuary.

"Visit my world," Diana invites you, "a world full of whimsy, mystery, innocence, wisdom, hope, and danger. It's a bridge into the future." Until three years ago, Diana worked at the cutting edge of computer publishing and graphics in Silicon Valley. She quit her job to devote herself to developing Planet Blortland full time. "Computer art is finally gaining the respect it deserves," she says with delight. "I created all the art in this website on my computer."

One day soon Blorts will star in movies like Toy Story; be available as CD-ROM video games, and offer an alternative to violent Saturday morning cartoons. "I plan to work with a visionary like Steven Spielberg to actualize my goals for Planet Blortland," says Diana. "If that person is you, well, you know how to get in touch with me."
