Many of you have long wondered how blogs like Ramshackle Glam manage to get gigs that seem all out of keeping with their reach. As GOMIBLOG has long said, bloggers have agents and management to take care of such things. And now we finally have proof of our claims. Digital Brand Architects, a "new agency in New York that represents fashion and lifestyle bloggers" has a listing of the blogs they represent on their site - and unsurprisingly most of the successful (or wannabe successful) blogs have joined the company to help further their search for money and fame. Clients...

Jessica Quirk, of the midwestern Quirks, attended NYFW a couple of weeks ago. As usual, she failed at packing and failed at taking outfit photos, which many assume is the basis for her website. One would think an outfit blogger would make a point of documenting and sharing what she wore to the biggest outfit party of the year. One would be wrong: She "didn't focus on taking outfit photos", people! That's not what her site is about! Stop being rude and just tell her she looks tall!

Jordan Reid, pregnant, will soon be not pregnant. It seems this weekend her baby settled into launch position: “Lightening,” for those of you who don’t know (most of you, I’d imagine, since I’d never heard of this pre-pregnancy), is basically when the baby puts on his diving goggles and gets ready to jump...While it sometimes means that labor is imminent, it can also mean…well, not much. Other than that at some point in the future, I will be giving birth. And we knew that already. With her due date three weeks away it's time to start the betting on when...

Peter Baugher, longtime defender of his daughter, has written an article for the Chicago Tribune agitating for legislation to remove anonymity from the internet: The ability to attack anonymously encourages anti-social behavior. Neither our laws nor our social norms have kept up...We need a new legislative approach. The absolute immunity enjoyed by online service providers needs to be qualified. At the request of a user, service providers should be required to give anonymous posters a firm choice: agree to reveal who they are (to accept responsibility for their posts in their own names) or their posts will be taken down....

Rich Tong, banging a teenage model, is no longer banging a teenage model. After several days of vague references to something going down, Rich's girlfriend finally answered a few direct questions: Spending some last days with Penny. I’m going to miss this dog. oh no! where is penny going? Nowhere!! But I am :\ Anonymous: did you and rich break up? yes Anonymous: what happened? Um I guess things just weren't working out. Well. I'm sure she isn't at all regretting all those charming pics her greasy ex posted all over his tumblr. You could draw conclusions that it was...

After a brutal week of sitting in a box taking blurry pictures, Messica has finally left NYC in peace again. Despite going around begging people to take her pic for her blog (and letting her cred as some AMEX press rep get her on a couple of "street style" lists) the only non-press pics of her outfits exist on a couple of wannabe "style" blogs. And as usual for Messica, she didn't pack properly. Or maybe that was just her excuse to go buy clothes that looked more like what everyone else was wearing. Despite claiming on her first day...

After the internet storm caused by accusations of scamming, "Anthroholic" has started shutting down her online presence. Her blog is now invite only, her facebook page is shuttered, and her twitter has been closed. We hope this is her way of taking her apology seriously and closing things up until she can get herself together and make things right and not just flouncing to make the problem go away. With more and more information about the extent of her activities rolling in all over the internet, it could very well be the latter, especially in light of her sponsors pulling...

Jordan Reid, constant victim, is claiming someone hacked her website: So apparently someone went into my hosting account yesterday and deleted my entire site...Fortunately, so far it doesn’t seem like anything else (bank accounts, etc) was affected, but of course I changed all my passwords and am keeping an eye on things. And as you can see, the site is back up and seems to be functioning just fine. Wait...does she store her financial information on her web server? Because they can't get in your laptop at  your house from your wordpress install on GoDaddy. Methinks Jordan doesn't know how...

We now observe the sensual Mating/Victory* Dance of the elusive KERF, the only wild specimen known to exist. According to those who have observed her in her native habitat, the KERF can only be appeased by small sips of wine, bites of bread, solitary figs, and utter adoration from all who know her, see her, look at her, or have heard of her from a friend of a friend. When startled or angered, bortching, moaning and general lolsuits may occur. Do not hassle the KERF. If the KERF is spotted, a full fat chocolate bar, piece of cake, or skin-on...

I KNOW, but it was just out there, I had to use it. Anyway, with allegations of theft and scamming floating around, the Bernie Madoff of Anthro-blogging has decided to cut off the story at the pass and issued this bizarre "lol sorry": An Apology I want to take a minute to apologize. I messed up and I owe it to my readers to apologize. As you may recall, I used to run a Personal Shopping Service on this blog. I am not going to make excuses, but I really dropped the ball and screwed things up with some of...

GOMIBLOG is currently the scene of a huge scam accusation against some "Anthro-blogger".  The comments on various posts range from flat out claims of fraud to remarks that simple bad business practice doesn't equal a criminal act: "Oh my god, I can`t believe that she`s pulled this crap with so many other trusting people. I kept giving her the benefit of the doubt, but all of those excuses were used on me, too. She needs to be outed. This is criminal behavior." "In reading the above, I think she was in it to scam her readers." "It seems to be...

Cary Randolph Fuller Hearst Astoria Guinness Hamptons, knows all about fashion and being a WASP. She also knows about being American, and American fashion! Which brings us to her contribution to the NYFW coverage: Sifting through Fashion Week coverage, I am reminded of how singular the American style is. In spite of its many forms and silhouettes, there is this common thread of exuberance and movement that I see, season after season, that has nothing to do with fashion at all but rather with a collective spirit. The designers may not be conscious of it when creating their collections, but...

Sarah Lacy, size 4 pregnant lady,  is now a size 4 postpartum lady. In the midst of OMG FASHION WEEK, Sarah Lacy finally stepped away from her twitter long enough to provide the earth with a human being containing her DNA. Of course she immediately hopped right back on twitter in order to hashtag about TechCrunch crap. I hope this child is ready to be ignored until he founds a tech startup. Poor child. Let's hope Sarah can stay in the country in long enough spurts to get to know the kid.

Running a blog empire and owning a bakery is hard work, you guys! Especially when you purchase your first home WHILE letting your husband run the bakery and going to Body Pump classes. Let's catch up on the KERFster, as I'm sure her whirlwind schedule has us all in a tizzy! "I left the bakery and headed to the new house for a few appointments. Given my public life, we’re getting a killer security system in the new place. Don’t even try to tap on the window – it’s all covered. It’s a little expensive, but also something we should...

Jessica Quirk of What I Wore, not invited to be part of the tumblr fashion week coverage, has some advice for people invited to be part of the tumblr fashion week coverage: “I always post the very best coverage I can, as quickly as possible,” she says. “I tweet up a storm before and during the show, and always send a follow-up thank you. When the next season rolls around, I let the PR folks handling the shows know I will be in New York, and if they have the space, I’d be very grateful to attend again. Great relationships...

tumblr and their lawyers successfully shut down the beloved plugin "Missing e" for TOS violation once before. Now the creator of the plugin has made changes to bring it into compliance. But nevermind, says tumblr: they do not want the plugin, which brings many  needed and requested changes to the user's hands, to be used by anyone, ever. They interpret the Tumblr API License Agreement in such a way as it continues to apply to Missing e. I disagree with their interpretation of this agreement as the preface clearly states: By building applications that interact with Tumblr’s products and services (the “Tumblr...

Jessica Quirk, no part of tumblr fashion week, is well known for her crap grammar and spelling. Now, after editing comments for typos, she is blaming your inability to  understand her writing on the fact that you aren't American: And continuing to show your ass in your comments area is a moron thing. What is WRONG with her? She has two comment responses: "Thanks!", and being obnoxious to her readers. I'm starting to see why she only interacts with people in private emails. She really doesn't seem to be into What I Want anymore. Her outfits are half hearted. She...

EatLiveRun (book due September 2012) posted a recipe from her childhood of Sonoma chicken salad. Sonoma Chicken Salad Ingredients: 2 cups chopped or pulled roast chicken, mix of light and dark meat 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or to taste) 1 cup sliced red grapes 1/3 cup slivered almonds 1/4th tsp salt pinch of black pepper Apparently MOLD was left out of the ingredients list but makes an appearance anyway.  Le Cordon Bleu doesn't teach their students to check bread for mold? Here's what FSIS (Food Safety Inspection Service) has to say about moldy food. Molds have branches and roots that are like...

LLL's Tatiana is still doing her "weekly gratitude" posts. This week, as the east coast was preparing for a hurricane and families in some areas deal with power outages and loss of home and life, Twatiana thinks you should smile your worries away! This week wasn't free of it's fair share of disasters, big and small, but I chose to turn that frown upside down every time and in the end... it was the best week ever. Regardless. Thank you to our lovely breakfasts all this week. Sometimes it was something special (bacon, eggs and pancakes) and sometimes it was...

Care Of Coach Shoes, Messica's faithful foot companions, barely have a chance to dry out between wearings! Wife of the Quirk predictably wore them as part of her ensemble to her widely attended "hey haters I gots a book yo!" party in Chicago this week. The expert on remixing what you already have in your closet wore an outfit mostly created from things not from her closet: I felt beautiful in an outfit gifted to me by Shop It To Me (I found the pieces in my sale mail!) - a Marc by Marc Jabobs dress and Juicy Couture Ring....
