Lesley Scott’s Summary
When I initially created my online fashion e-zines in the Fall of 2004, based on the notion of customizing style content for someone's fashion personality or "tribe", they were well received critically...but less so financially as I quickly ran out of money. To keep publishing my content, I started the Fashiontribes blog.
However, I quickly became as enamored with this fascinating new medium where the traditional barriers to entry in publishing - serious investment capital and a byzantine network of gatekeepers - were no longer an obstacle. Instead, anyone with a big idea and something to say was welcome to jump in and compete. And thanks to fortuitous timing and an incredibly persistent (stubborn?) streak that kept me writing and publishing day in & day out, I've been able to grow my blog to the point where it's my full-time job.
