Blogs, Blogs Everywhere

Thursday, September 21, 2006


There's always a lot of debate on whether a blog can hurt or harm your career. Lots of people start blogs as a way to launch a writing career (and it can work! if you're good!), and others – like me – already have writing careers but start blogs because they're looking for another outlet to share the things they love (or, more specifically in my case, love to buy).

Lately, it seems that lots of top fashion journalists are jumping on the blog bandwagon, particularly as an outlet for more candid fashion commentary. There's Pulitzer winner Robin Givhan's blog on WashingtonPost.com, the Daily Telegraph's fashion critic Hilary Alexander (who dishes both about dresses and getting snubbed by Hugh Grant) and, for those of you Down Under, the recently controversial Patty Huntington of the Sydney Morning Herald. Even the Style.com gang has a blog to share their more candid moments. And now, rumor has it that Cathy Horyn may join the blogosphere one of these days. I hope so; I always enjoy her narrated multimedia segments in the NY Times' online fashion section (really!). Plus, it will give me another reason to justify how I can spend most of my day doing Internet "research."

Side note: I know my hand looks a little odd in that picture, but how great is that ring? It was maybe $2 in the junk jewelry pile at the Courthouse Saturday flea market in Arlington, VA, and I love it with a passion. Because remember: Always check the junk pile!

I've just started getting into the journo add on blogs as well as those written by 'real' people. The Patty Huntington NY fash week showdown thing was real car crash reading, (I posted about it) then I saw Hilary's about Hugh Grant and thought, ok maybe there's more to these than just what they couldn't fit in the newspaper. But I must admit I find them more interesting for their 'ooh, below the belt gossip!' factor than anything else! x

Love the ring and your blog. And my friends keep asking me how much time I spend blogging. I lie and tell them oh an hour or so. But you know the truth. Hey, having a hot debate at my blog today. Come on over and weigh in. I'd love your opinion. Thanks. k

My husband works for a TV network and talks about how the execs think they've discovered something "hip" so they'll push everyone in that direction. For example, the execs have been reading news about blogs, so now the network website publishes a "blog". They're even starting to play around with a podcast. They're hip! They're trendy! The cool kids are doing it!
