This is it for me, folks. Thank you for making the last two years amazing ones, and please don’t be strangers!

I miss you all already.

I’m scheduled to host the International Carnival of Pozitivities, a blog carnival for people living with HIV/AIDS, on May 10th. Is anyone out there interested in taking my place?

I posted about Lambda Legal’s “Life Without Fair Courts” illustration contest here. Entries are due on March 15, 2007. Find out more about the contest by clicking on Lambda Legal’s ad in our sidebar.

See ya on Monday!

It’s been a wonderful two years around here. This blog’s most recent accomplishment, becoming a 2007 Bloggies finalist, was a completely unexpected and amazing surprise. I’ve also been able watch traffic triple since December 06:

2/12/07 - 2/18/07: 14,326 visitors, 7,504 unique visitors, 96,845 page views

01/07: 41,120 visits, 19,990 unique visitors, 379,817 page views

10/06 - 12/06: 52,585 visitors, 21,867 unique visitors, 182,985 page views

2006 (all): 203,875 visits, 80,912 unique visitors, 609,963 page views

06/05 - 12/05: 57,731 visitors, 17,172 unique visitors, 162,402 page views

I’ve had a great run with this site, but it’s time for me to give all my time and energy to other projects.

My last post here will be in the near future, possibly as soon as the first week of March. I will be starting conversations with potential buyers immediately.

The ideal purchaser of this site is someone with existing advertising contacts and/or agency connections for ad placement. At the present rate of growth, this site will be averaging 500,000 page views monthly by March; this sale is a perfect opportunity for someone to establish or extend a personal brand without having to start from scratch. This site’s domain name has been renewed through 2008. All software, script customization, images, posts, comments and site registrations are negotiable.

Interested parties should contact me here with any questions. I will respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.

If you have a blog, please link to this post to help spread the word that this site is for sale. The more people who know, the more attractive of a sale offer is possible. As my last post here draws closer, I’ll have more information for you on what’s next for DailyDoseofQueer.com.

Do you have a site for sale? Please also contact us and maybe we can combine the offers.

Nichelle, a Cupcakes Take the Cake blogger, posted about these Red Betty Boop Adidas at her personal blog.

Best Lesbian-ish Day Ever covered Michelle Rodriguez’s Fashion Week accessory: a court-ordered ankle bracelet she has worn since being convicted of drunk driving in Hawaii last year.

Via FabSugar, the Betsey Johnson Avril beaded peep toe pumps.

Over at BetseyJohnson.com, I found the Betsey Johnson Merri Shoes.

Luxist featured Roberto Cavalli’s Laser Cut Metallic Clutch as a Handbag of the Day.

Miss Malaprop wrote about eco-friendly bags here. She links to ENVIROSAX, where this bag from their Retro collection is a favorite of mine.

Arvind Devalia suggests starting off 2007 by sending some of your old shoes to show heaven.

Andrea Dickson at Wise Bread gives an example of how to personalize a handbag.

This woman is doing it. And many of the people who commented on this post have lived on less.

When you’re struggling it often feels like you’re alone in your money problems. While it’s depressing to hear the news, it’s also nice to know there are many other people living in way less than desirable situations.

Thank you for the link, Jen!

Have you seen the results a Google image search of my name yields? This is one of them. A pussy pop from New Mexico. Awesome.

(The pussy pop was a gift I sent to Jen, btw. She sniffed it and gave it to her dad. This may be the best post I have ever written.)
