All Good Things Must Come To An End...

Sun, 29 Jun 2008 06:36:59 GMT

I've put off writing this post for a while, partly because I wasn't sure what I wanted to say, mostly because I didn't really want to have to acknowledge that I'd be ending the blog for good.

Last month I announced that I would be hanging up my blogging hat. Writing this blog and interacting with its amazing readers has been one of the most exciting and personally fulfilling things I've ever done in my life. FGB has opened my world up in ways I'd never have expected and led to opportunities I've only dreamed of.

These past few weeks I've dramatically cut down on my posting and I've begun to get a feel for what my life will be like after today when I stop blogging. There's a lot I'm going to miss about this incredible community and the enjoyment I gained from writing and expressing my thoughts on this page. But it also feels so refreshing to regain the freedom I had before I began dedicating 30+ hours a week to managing the blog. I've been able to relax and really enjoy my final semester of college in a way that I couldn't when I was up at dawn writing every morning, every week.

Because I don't know of any better way to express my gratitude to those of you who've contributed to FGB through your comments and e-mails, I want to simply thank you. Though I will probably never meet most of you, you mean a great deal to me and I appreciate the support and encouragement you've given me in the past year and a half.

Thank you.

I'm going to leave the blog up online, though there won't be any new posts after this. In a week or so I'm going to shut down the comments section though, not because I don't want to hear from you, but because I don't want to delete spam comments every day for the rest of my life. If you want to contact me, I'll keep fakinggoodbreeding@gmail.com running and I'll try my best to respond to your e-mail. If you're visiting FGB for the first time and are totally confused by this post, I encourage you to read through the archives or just check out my page of favorite posts.

Again, thank you.

Louis Vuitton wins ruling against Ebay

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:22:27 GMT

And today's landmark legal victory goes to... (drumroll)... Louis Vuitton (LVMH), for making eBay cough up the Euros.

40 million Euros to be exact.

The online sales of fake products cost designer labels a reputed $30 billion a year, and with eBay being the biggest online auction site the difference will be more than negligible.

Beauty review: Schick Quattro Razor

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:51:22 GMT

For all the money I spend on skincare and moisturisers and the like, I must confess that when it comes to shaving I'm a bit of a cheap-arse (particularly in Winter - much to the disdain of the men in my life). So when I received a Schick Quattro for review, my expectation was for another over-priced piece of plastic and metal that wouldn't do my skin any great favours.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Jamie King in the single-shoulder dress trend

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 02:17:13 GMT

We're not quite sure what's going on with model-turned-actress Jamie King's fringe... it's certainly not the thick, eye-sweeping fringe that's been such a huge trend this year. Nor do we think the blunt chin-length pieces are going to catch on as a hairstyle of choice. But nevertheless, the girl does have one thing on trend: the one-shouldered dress.
