The Daily News tries to explain what blogs are to their audience by introducing a number of New York area female bloggers (you know, 'cause are more approachable and if they can do it...). There's a cute picture of Lindsay Robertson online that quickly refutes the any ideas that girl bloggers are shut-ins and confirms their fondness for bars. Besides this site's XX factor, female bloggers featured are (in first name alphabetical) Amy Langfield, Blaise Kearsley, Elizabeth Spiers, Eurotrash, Maccers, Maud Newton, Meg Hourihan, and Megan McArdle. And writer Rick Bruner gives the readership the soundbite, with this quote from Dana, aka numberonehitsong: "For all of us who never got asked to the prom, it's really gratifying."
Today's Young Manhattanite Interview is with Maccers; previous YMI have been with Blaise K, Elizabeth, and Maud. Check them out!

goddamn it- jen told me that all the girls posed in their panties! she's just a goddamn liar. but lindsayism does look cute.
Of course, gothamist forgot to mention that their own Jen Chung is prominently featured in the article (read that as first up). Yeahhh Jen.
Or I just skipped past Jen's subtle self referential humor. Must read article twice before commenting.
HAving purchased a print edition of the Daily News I can report these things:
- There's a great picture of Blaise, Elizabeth, and Meg (full page) before the whole "Thersday" (yes, Thursday is the day for women) section.
- There's an eh picture of me (my profile is weak) but on the upside, Otori-San looks amazing.
- The only other article on the page has a HUGE picture of Fabio. Hot!
i think we now need to see the picture in the daily news. anyone?
desperation
For the record, that quote about the prom is taken out of context. The entire quote talked about tort reform, human rights abuses in our nation's prisons, and the spit v. swallow debate.
When the paper is closed, I'm kissing Fabio.
Jen, your computer is so much better than mine and you only have one single solitary chin in your picture. I hate you!
more importantly, what do these "female bloggers" drink? it looks like Linds is drinking apple juice! is apple juice the new red bull?
Oh my God, Lindsay is hott! Too bad she only has one hand.
prom. let me tell you about this (sometimes) girl-blogger's prom experience (or non-experience, as the case may be).
i went to an all-girls school - that meant we asked the guys. My junior year i asked SEVEN, that's right, i was turned down SEVEN times for a variety of reasons. i can't even remember some of the guys' names, but whenever i say that my best friends jump to the rescue with a collective memory. the night of my junior prom i spent at the mall with my cousin and her best friend trying on prom dresses!!!! (a little masochism never hurt a sixteen year old)
and now, i have a great job, i'm engaged to be married and the blog to which i contribute is being featured on an major market alternative radio station in SF. http://www.1115.org/archives/000313.html
(a little self-promotion never hurt a twenty something)
Screw the prom. Go girl-bloggers!
The guy I went to the senior prom with is now at a seminary. Coincidence?
it's Jameson. that's whisky or bourbon or something. It's Siberia, they don't have wine.
The article was even written by a blogger, completing the loop. Is writing articles about blogging the new blogging? And if son will someone please invent a word for it?
Yes, Jen, the article was written by a blogger. Where's my linky love?
:-(
Snap! Leave it to me to miscode. Apologies...
I justed picked up the paper (I sleep late). Actually, Lindsay, when the paper closes, you're making out with Jen. Hot!
i'll pay $100 to see any of the girls mentioned in the article make out at bruner's blog thing tonight. that's $100 for 5 minutes of girl-on-girl love! i only ask that i get to take some pictures. who's down? maccers: i'm looking at you.
I'd put your bets on Lindsay. As of 2001, she'd already confessed to making out with two chicks out of 18 life-time make-out sessions, roughly 10%.
Next stop: the cover of The Advocate. ("Yep, I Blog.") (disclaimer: both those girl-kissing episodes were for the entertainment of a member of the patriarchy. I'm a gender-traitor. Sorry.)
Now, about this $100...
Jameson ... or Jesus Juice?
