Where to begin. For starters, my art is in a magazine (above). Second, my feature articles are in a magazine. Third, my name is on the masthead of a magazine. What?!?!!? Am I dreaming???
I am sure most of you are aware that Rue Magazine launched last Thursday. It's the reason I have been MIA since Tuesday, and will continue to be again for a few days. I can't help it. I am pretty much living a baller lifestyle in NYC. Fashion shows, photo shoots, dinner parties, launch parties, tv tapings, blogger meet-ups, dinners in Chelsea, shopping in Soho... seriously. Am I dreaming?!?!
I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your support. The sweet comments on Facebook, Twitter, your blogs, and our blogs, mean the world to the entire Rue team. We couldn't be here without you.
So in my absence over the next couple of days - which will be followed by a full photographic recap of my week in New York (including cameos by some of your favorite bloggers) - please take the time to flip through Rue. Read the stories. They are funny and interesting. Study the photos. They are beautiful and inspiring. And heck - click through a link and buy yourself a lil' somethin' somethin'! Our advertisers will love you for it.
And here are a few of my favorite images, from the pages of Rue...

And finally, co-creator of Glee, Ian Brennan, proving that all men should wear vests.
It's so great to hear about all the wonderful things that you are involved with...will look forward to the New York photos. May the good times continue!

I've only been readying LCY since the announcement of Rue (although I don't know how I had missed it before, as your etsy shop had been one of my "favorites" for a while). But I am SO happy for you and the success of the magazine! What a wonderful experience and it's so refreshing to hear some who is grateful and amazed at her success - but you earned it!
