Mommy & Me

Looking for the Missing Voices in the Burgeoning World of Mom Blogs
Supplemental Content by Veronica I. Arreola, appeared as a sidebar in the article 'Ain't I a Mommy?' in issue Genesis; filed under: Internet culture; tagged: BlogHer, blogosphere, blogs, momblogs, mommy blogs, motherhood, parenting, race, women of color.

Mommy blogs are big business these days. A recent Washington Post profile on ur-mommy blogger Heather Armstrong (a.k.a. Dooce) suggested that her site could be raking in up to 40 grand a month. While most mothers who blog are nowhere near as influential (and their sites nowhere near as lucrative), they take pride and satisfaction in the work they do, and the websites they maintain offer valuable community, a sense of connection to other parents, and occasionally a little pocket change.

The Washingtonienne

Blogs, Boys and Bad Manners
Article by Juliet Eastland, filed under: Internet culture; tagged: blogs, capital P politics, interns, sex and etiquette, washington dc.

“I have a ‘glamour job’ on the Hill. That is, I could not care less about gov or politics, but working for a Senator looks good on my resume. And these marble hallways are such great places for meeting boys and showing off my outfits.” So begins The Washingtonienne, the short-lived blog of one Jessica Cutler, a young Capitol Hill Staff Assistant since dubbed the “New-insky” for her chronicling of kinky sex among D.C.’s power elite.
