the news of my death has been greatly exaggerated.

i will not be leaving fashionindie media anytime soon and my last post regarding my potential exit was mearly the ramblings of an exasperated blogger sharing his frustration. i have no intention of shipping out anytime soon, our investors (we actually don’t have any, yet. self funded, holla!!!) aren’t trying to kick me out, and no i’m not taking off to elle (although we are working on a bit of a partnership with a large fashion publication).

basically, i’m here to stay so all you haters out there, quit clinking your glasses, the bitch is back and you’re all on watch.

i guess i’ve just been a little discouraged lately. there were ownership disputes with my business partner that was holding us back a bit (finally resolved, everyones happy, good day in indie world. we recently lost one of our better sales people/client representatives. and we’ve been doing a lot of soul searching/hunkering down to get this little beast we created to the level we imagine it could be at.

so i guess i was just distraught and was finally considering an exit strategy. promise it will be the last time i do that. so enough therapy, here’s what i really wanted to share with you. as i type we’re hard at work on a new project which will let a number of our readers share in the support of fashionindie thru microfinancing or social funding. it’s all very exciting and very cool so i’ll keep you posted. either way, just remember that i will always and forever heart fashion indie, and you should too.

The ‘I Heart Fashion Indie’ event was a HUGE success, thanks again to anyone who came out to support us!  We’ve added a few preview pics to Cult, and we’ll continue to add photos as they come in.

Check out a few backstage photos on Cult!
