Message from the Editrix

I’m back.

Thank you to the following readers: Joseph, Marge Twain. I appreciated the well wishes especially since you were the only two readers who chose to do so. (And thanks to the rest of the Racialicious team.) As for the rest of you, I see how it is.

Some notes:

* I did not have a chance to read all the comments but I saw enough. Big thank you to the correspondents for stepping in to moderate with no guidance as Carmen and I were both unable to keep a close eye on the blog. However, some things that got through are not cool. I will allow it all to stand, but for those of y’all who were cutting up – don’t get comfortable. Gendered slurs aimed at women? Blatantly regurgitating stereotypes? Rejecting someone’s credibility based solely on racial categorization? Oh no, no, no. That’s not how we roll and most of you should know that.

* I had to drag myself to New York over the weekend and was rewarded – I finally got my hands on a copy of Vogue Italia. Write up and analysis later this week.

* I am also heading to Rock the Bells this afternoon. I am going to probably be wiped afterwards, so here’s how this week is looking: Posting will probably be light, as I have a week’s worth of email in my inbox, a week’s worth of posts to review, and a couple pieces to finish. (I am afraid to think of what my day job inbox looks like.) After this week, we’ll be back tor our regular schedule.
