It doesn’t matter how many posts you get under your belt (according to WordPress I have 1037), those who were veterans and went before you remain the people you look to from time to time as not only a touchstone, but as a reminder of how to do it.

I met Grazia Horwitz when I mis-creditted a skin once a long time ago when I was a new  blogger.  She feared her friend Hart Larsson had been ripped, recognizing his work, and immediately contacted me.

I was TERRIFIED OMG GRAZIA IS MESSAGING ME AND OMG I MADE A MISTAKE OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

She wasn’t terrifying at all, actually, but I was so scared and embarrassed at the time.

Grazia recently  mused that she wasn’t sure it mattered, all this blogging. I am not sure it matters either. But I can tell you what I APPRECIATE about you.

You offer critique and honesty from time to time. And you know the difference between critique and editorial review, which is so rare among the bloggers these days. I know I can count on you for a fair and honest report on your blog regarding items.  You don’t LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you see and wear. And if you have a quibble with something, you’re honest and not attacking when making critique.

We would be missing so much if you ever stopped blogging.

Yves Saint Laurent said “Fashion Fades, Style Is Eternal.”

You’re got style Grazia, nothing but style.

Happy Birthday. I only wish I had enough money to send you more dragon genitalia this year.
