News & Notes, March 2010

Hello, all.  Things have been quiet on the Backdoor Slider Media front for the past few months but, hopefully, they will pick up real soon.   Some news and notes:

Blog Name change: Lady At The Bat is now LADYBATTING.COM. Same great blog; the URL and title are now one-in-the-same.

LATB Radio: The show has been on hiatus for a long time. Please accept my apologies for this. I am hoping to get it off the ground again sometime this year.

The Glamorous Bee:  No new entries will be posted to this blog.  The archives remain up, however, for your information and discussion.

This Fan’s Life:  My personal blog is no more, however, archived posts are available for this blog as well.

That’s about it. I hope everyone is looking forward to the baseball season as much as I am!

Fashion Blogger Wanted

We’re in need of another writer for The Glamorous Bee:

 

Backdoor Slider Media, Inc. is looking for a Contributing Fashion Blogger for www.glamorousbee.com, its beauty and fashion blog. The right candidate will be able to post to the blog one to two times per week on the world of fashion and its industries.

 

The Contributing Fashion Blogger should have a basic knowledge of HTML and should be able to connect with readers who are past the age where Nicole Ritchie’s every move matters, but who are not yet ready to join AARP. Experience with content management systems (such as Blogger, Typepad and WordPress) is strongly preferred.

 

This is a great opportunity for a relatively new writer looking for exposure. Compensation is minimal but you’ll experience the latest the fashion industry has to offer as well as have a chance to attend some really exciting events (i.e., previews and fashion shows).

 

Interested candidates should email their resume and cover letter to glamour.bee@hotmail.com. Include a writing sample in the form of a published clip and/or a link. If you have no clips or links please write a 200-word piece, in the style of http://www.glamorousbee.com, about anything you’d like pertaining to fashion.

New Logo Finalized

The new logo is complete! It’s not much different from the preliminary one in the post below. We’re glad it’s finished all the same!

New Logo (Preliminary)

We’re working on creating a logo for the company!  The preliminary one is on the left.  The final one will be unveilled soon.

Fashion Week Coverage at The Glamorous Bee

Fashion Week in New York City just concluded and The Glamorous Bee (TGB) was right in the thick of it. Your trusty Backdoor Slider Media President and TGB Editor was in The Tents during the week soaking up the atmosphere. I got into one of the hotest shows of the week and was backstage for another.
