Hall put a call-out on her Facebook page asking her followers, affectionately known as Queens, which venue would be best.
Pepe’s on the Beach at North Wollongong won and is now confirmed to host the royal blogger on November 3 from 4-8pm = and it’s free.
Hall rose to fame after blogging about the realities of pregnancy, motherhood and relationships – such as disciplining other people’s kids and why men are incapable of admitting their mistakes.
The social media “freedom fighter” may seem loud and crass, but the mum-of-four’s fans see beyond the potty-mouth and value her positive life lessons.
Balgownie mum Chauntelle Callaway loves Hall because she is honest and inspiring.
“It must take a lot of bravery from her to share some of the things she does ... it just has this powerful way to make you feel okay about your own similar situation,” she said.
“She is helping marriages (my husband has no idea just how much), those with anxiety, those that have little and so much more.
“I can say that following her and reading her book has personally helped me with multiple issues I am facing.”
While Rebecca Griffith of Woonona loves her Queen because she is the poster-girl for every average woman and provides a “forum to love and be loved”.
“I gradually started to see less of the surface words and hear more of the message. She spreads a message of hope, freedom, love, and comradeship – to women and men – who often feel alone and disillusioned,” Griffith said.
“Her raw honesty reminds us that we're never alone, and that just one single act of kindness can make a world of difference.
“If Kurt Cobain was the voice of a generation, then Queen Constance is his successor. Same language, different message.”
