Dear Coutorture:

I love you. I really do. For two years I have taken for granted that I am part of the largest fashion blog aggregate on the internet. I have taken for granted your stunning growth, amazing access to runway shows and behind-the-scenes footage, up-to-the-minute videos and photographs, and all that you do for your members. Really, the effort you put in to the site is staggering. I can remember when it was just a simultaneous blogging site, with a large list of fashion bloggers. Look how far you've come baby.

(BTW, Your layout is awesome):



All of the ideas you've implemented are astounding: the blogger shout-out, the must-reads, the posts that go up on Elle.com, the Education Annex. I am so excited to be a part of all you have to offer...and really there's so much! I'm sorry I've only marginally participated before. I now intend to be one who trumpets your accomplishments from the virtual rooftops.

Thank you for all that you've done to legitimize the cyber-side of fashion. Thank you for all you've done towards democratizing fashion that was once ruled by the iron fist of designer dictators. Thank you making so much knowledge and news available to your members. I especially appreciate the Education Annex. Your articles are phenomenal.

Think of all of the respect you've gained in the fashion world. You're just getting better and better, and I'm excited that I get to be along for the ride.
