Swamped •  Yeah, we know, it’s bad blogging form to go incommunicado without warning, and for that we apologize.  You know how some people can keep their fingers to the keyboard, tirelessly, for hours and days on end?  That’s not us.  Honestly, we’re a bit overwhelmed by work right now. We don’t want to complain about our workload, but we suddenly understand Lucky’s compulsion with making up words because, you know what? There really is a finite number of ways to describe overpriced crap nobody needs!  Inventing words would at least break up the monotony.  We hope to be back by the end of the week, if only because we’ve amassed a great deal of aggression in the last ten days, and we’re pretty sure Katherine Heigl is taunting us from the cover of Cosmo.

No need to apologize but I am glad you wrote this post. I am an executive television producer and I was doing "homework" for a fashion job I had interviewd for. This required me to go through at least 200, if not more, beauty/fashion blogs.

It was a drag. 99% of these bloggers do not have the talent you do as a writer. They write about what they bought, what they are going to buy, there is incessant celebrity talk, they try to make a story out of nothing and by gum it usually is nothing.

Take a week, take two if you need to. I am certain you must have loyal readers. I am one of them.

Cheers, NMB

Please hurry back. We need you! There's a new Lucky out, and Andrea Linnett's gettin' married on the back page. Oh, the humanity!

Thanks, everyone! We're back! We missed you--and, oddly enough, the magazines, too.
