hello,

he’s kinda douchey about it but he touches upon a point, i think where you’d make money is if you went on some cool naomi klein-esque anti-advertising tear wherein your blog was totally NOT for sale and then after awhile of that, compare the offers. i think they’d want in way more if it didn’t look like so easy, doesn’t everyone want what they can’t have? advertisements are rightfully afraid of coming off as advertisements, and the glaring “your ad here” thing just devalues the real estate, you’d never see a “your ad here” sign in the big city traffic, maybe in a dying newspaper or a ghetto skid highway in NWO. you know this stuff yourself: market it as better, treat it better than “your ad here” and it’ll be treated better.

i should probably be emailing this idea so you don’t have to post it but i feel like he’s got a point, if selling out straight up isn’t working then it might be more profitable to make a stand, and then sell out.

“no logo” by naomi klein’s a good book to check out.

My english is too bad, so I write in french (hope you’ll found somone to traduce).

Je n’ai pas pour habitude de réagir sur les blogs auxquels je suis abonné, mais là, considèrons que c’est un forum!

Petits principes d’éducation à l’attention de M. Mystère:
-Jamais je ne donne d’avis sans que l’on me le demande,
-Lorsque je n’aime pas quelqu’un, je lui dis en face,
-Mieux vaut se taire et passer pour un idiot, plutôt que de parler et confirmer que l’on en est un…

Sinon, je suis ravi de suivre les péripéties d’une femme magnifique à tous points de vue! A la limite d’être mon alter-égo, sur l’autre rive de l’océan.

Hope to see you one day

P.S: If I was an editor, an agent or else, you’d be on first place.

Hey Mila – what the shit? You’re agreeing with an incoherent rant and adding your own haterade. Why come here and read this blog if the author has “no discernible literary skill” and is a narcissistic disaster? That is so completely not true. The writing skill and unique style is obvious to anyone that has read Raymi for any length of time. As for the narcissist comment, well, at a passing glance I guess I could see how someone would mistake tons of photos of themselves on a blog as narcissism. In fact it’s more the opposite. It’s also ballsy as hell and braver than probably anything you or I have ever done.

you just proved peking’s point (who at least makes an attempt at an online persona while you have nothing, bring nothing to the table or worse, are too cowardly to stand the fuck up to shit)

you would pay to leave a hate comment. you are the loser here.

peking duck is one example of how dumb many of your readers are. I do agree you should profit more off them…because people like that will truly buy anything you wear or talk about.

I don’t have a blog. I didn’t keep a journal when I was 13 either (I wasn’t a fag).

I just don’t see any ads on this site and the product placement is expertly expertly expertly hidden.

I guess a blogging convention is alright (though gay). It’s like when dentists quit general practice and sell their secrets to younger dentists. Ew.

I checked out Oceanaria. An excellent blog.

Mila, I must say… my votes that went into those awards were at least partially for Raymi’s writing skill. I’m sick of people giving her so much grief for capitalization, punctuation, and other insignificant drivel. Her ability to convey thought is on par with some of the greatest minds I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

It is amazing how many people in this world try to express themselves accurately by writing and wind up totally betraying their sentiment.
