You can download our latest issues at www.theprintedblog.com.<BR/><BR/>The Printed Blog is exactly that – a printed news publication with 100% of its content pulled from blogs and other user generated content. We are a new model of print publication based out of Chicago that has taken on the challenge of reviving the newspaper industry and turning in to a more community-based, interactive and user-generated medium.<BR/><BR/>There are many advantages to our approach at forming a new type of newspaper. First and foremost, all of our content is taken from the internet and then put through an editorial process so that we're sure our readers are only getting the best of the best when it comes to blogs, photos, music, events, etc.<BR/><BR/>With this being said, we think that your blog falls under the "best of the best" category and would feel extremely privileged if we were able to take articles from it to include in our publication. High profile blogs such as, Mashable, Daily Kos, The Bloggess, American Express and Bastard Life are all on The Printed Blog team! <BR/><BR/>All of the content that we use from the web is also completely accredited to the author and blog that it originated from, so this would be a great way to gain some exposure and bring traffic to your site.<BR/><BR/>The Printed Blog has been the point of discussion amongst many journalists and media representatives from all around the WORLD. We have been featured in many of the world's leading publications such as The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Business Week, Wired magazine, as well as publications in France, Spain, Brazil, Egypt and many more! <BR/><BR/>We are currently working on our tenth issue that is set to be distributed in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago on Thursday, April 9th.<BR/><BR/>We'd love to add you to our list of blogs to pull content from in hopes to print one of your posts in an upcoming issue. Do we have your permission? We would also like to have the option of printing the images that accompany your blog posts- do you have the rights to these images? I look forward to hearing back from you and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. You can follow our progress on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter!<BR/><BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>Emily Schleier<BR/>Assistant Editor<BR/>The Printed BlogEmily Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036274041296167115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11818063.post-78353450271519224682009-03-25T07:39:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:39:00.000-07:00Yea, I've seen all this Barbie Doll/Sex in the Cit...Yea, I've seen all this Barbie Doll/Sex in the City hopla <BR/>but I wanna know what happend to Black Barbie aka Christie? <BR/><BR/>Did she do something to banish herself from the 50th B Day Bash, like going to Vietnam to get a college scholarship only to be raped by G.I. Joe and bringing shame to the Barbie Legacy by publicly speaking out? <BR/><BR/>Maybe she developled a crack addiction and had four or five kids out of wedlock to the O.J. Simpson Doll, before he took up exclusively with white barbies?<BR/><BR/>Maybe its a combination of the above and now she is over in Cuba writing a book entitled "For Colored Barbie Dolls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf", based on the play?Invisible Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615524438949539565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11818063.post-43876436873405620942009-03-16T12:04:00.000-07:002009-03-16T12:04:00.000-07:00ok...

I meant to officially mention this post to you but obviously it was linked on my Flickr...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I should have listed Dream Doll, I'm aware of that one--I'll add it to my Goodreads. Is the recent one, Barbie and Ruth, the book you're referring to? I need to see if there are any other recent Barbie books, all the others came out years ago.k of chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14726192719787418051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11818063.post-24279881193431227502009-03-13T17:27:00.000-07:002009-03-13T17:27:00.000-07:00An enjoyable post!I would like to recommend, if yo...An enjoyable post!<BR/><BR/>I would like to recommend, if you haven't already, that you read <I>Dream Doll</I>, Ruth Handler's own autobiography before you read the other one. I feel that the other one is really heavy handed and a bit mean spirited, just imho. <BR/><BR/>I have an autographed copy of her book, lol, one of my prized possessions.Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00560592169560020750noreply@blogger.com
