A little bit of cyber-concern

Thursday, May 29, 2008



Well, slap my name to the incredibly lengthy list of fashion bloggers and blog readers who have been missing Agathe of Style Bytes for more than a month now. I was hoping some of the impassioned pleas thus far might end in a resolution – but all I can find is that she's been spotted around her neighborhood, looking happy and well and characteristically stylish. (Which is a good thing! But we here on the Internet demand answers! Or at least goodbyes…) I got a little more curious today when I noticed there was an error on my bloglines feed and realized her entire site had been taken down. Luckily, I always save the photos of my favorite pictures online for style inspiration – including this bow-tied string of pearls she sported awhile back. Love it! And miss it!

I'll add my voice to the mounting wail: Agathe! Where are you? Will I ever see you and your amazing tiered vintage skirt again?

{Update} Susie calls for an end to the Agathe-hunt and we'll go along with that. It's hard -- because, after years on the internet together, it seems like we're friends! We were there for her wedding! And the adoption of Molvin! And the 20s-themed parties! And so much more... -- but I guess Internet friends are not quite real friends, and so we will wish Agathe all the fashiony best and turn our attention elsewhere. Like to shoes...

Whooaa I was just on her site trying to figure out the error message! Come back girl!

Winnie said...

As soon as you said her blog had been taken down, I went to check it out. Maybe she'll return...maybe not! We sure will miss her!

Oh no! It seems far to cruel to deny us even the pleasure of browsing through her old outfits for inspiration and aesthetic enjoyment! :(

So sad :( It's curious that her site is down as well, thats a bad sign.

Oh goodness...the site being down seems more of a definitive sign than just a month long absence. :'(

I spotted that too this morning (I must admit that I check her site every morning hoping that she's back). Her husband's blog had been down for a while now too. I wish I saved more of her pics, I only have the ones with Molvin...

I think this is the equivalent of Burger dumping Carrie with a Post-It.

I'm sorry she's gone but hope she's still enjoying fashion and life all the same! Thanks for posting about it.
I've been reading your blog for awhile and really like it =) It's refreshing and definitely my favourite style blog.

I do wish her the best and I know she technically doesn't owe anything to the people who read her website, but it would have been nice to post something about her disappearance. I mean she must know she has a lot of readers.

Smaggle said...

Oh I feel the same! I was feeling really hurt and wondering how she could do this to me and then I remembered that we don't actually know each other... It was a real shock that she took the site down. Her archives are SPLENDID!!!

Oh my gosh, its so funny to realize others are out there thinking the same thing and feeling the same way....missing an old "blog" frined...and wondering where she went. A goodbye would have been so nice. I wish her the best of luck. She was very unique and really her own person, wasnt she?

Hey! I love your blog (more of a reader not a poster), but I would love if you stopped by my new blog and checked it out. http://drawinghearts-ts.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

Spam, spam, spam. What a bunch of dirty, dishonest spammers. premiumpearl.com, dmg-asia.com, hongkongstorage.com...all spam.

Social media spammers are the worst kind of spammers. There is no "comment junk mail" box like there is with email.

People. A company that spams is a company that scams. Tell PremiumPearl.com and dmg-Asia.com what you think of them and why you will never, ever do business with them!
