Catwalk Queen editor Gemma Cartwright was the first fashion blogger I ever met when I started Style Bubble and since then, I can only say it's been a stream of mutual loving. In their December countdown of blogs, I have shockingly, been given the number 2 position in their Top 100 Fashion and Lifestyle Blogs list [1] (top spot went to MA-HUSSIVE Fashionista [2]). Apparently I'm deemed to be one of 'Fashion's Big Blog Players.' Look down the list though and my ABSOLUTE favourite blogs are in positions 10-20 'Fashion's Blog Underdogs' - Mrs Fashion [3], Kingdom of Style [4], Disneyrollergirl [5], Cafe Mode [6], Daddy Likey [7] etc etc.... these are blogs that aren't necessarily newcomers and have been blogging as long if not longer than me.
As a blog commentor and blog reader, I'd like to think that I'm on friendly blogosphere terms with the so-called underdogs. Though I take it as a high compliment, I do think it's a bit odd that I'm removed from the aforementioned blogging contemporaries and elevated to a category where I'm in the presence of REALLY shiny shiny blogs (ads, 10 posts a day, better graphic design....). I do find the idea of someone having never heard of Style Bubble stumbling onto here via Catwalk Queen's list only to find well..... a pink and green candied teeny bedroom affair that is not at all pro-looking.
Anyhow, a BIG thank you to the Catwalk Queen girls... and congrats if you made it on their December pressie of a list.... and I'll be combing through the list of 100 meticulously... (more things to add to my RSS reader...)
