I cannot even follow up with a post that compares to that which, Elana Pruitt of Good Girl Gone Shopping wrote about me. I literally got teary-eyed reading it.You see, Elana and I first met after she hired me to work as a writer on her team at PlasticSurgery.com . Soon thereafter she came up with Beauty Chat, a blog dedicated to beauty and lifestyle. I started out writing posts and worked my way up to the Managing Editor position. Along the way, she also created her own personal blog, inspiring me to do the same. We always want to be like our mentors, right? Thus Join the Gossip was born in December of 2007.
Years have passed and I am no longer working with Elana on a day to day basis. I am, however, in quite arguably a better position--her friend. Our relationship has progressed from professional to personal.
This rad chick is the reason I get to go to LA Fashion Week shows, the reason I have written for several different outlets, the reason I love the blogosphere and have connected with each of you.
(Elana and I @ my birthday party back in August)
Please take a moment to check out her blog. You won't find another that's more insightful on fashion as she's a personal shopper in addition to a grammatical queen!
