We Covet

Allow me to introduce you to mah bouncing bay-bay:

Because CLEARLY I didn't have enough going on, or enough things to do on the internet, Catherine of Her Bad Mother and I decided to throw ourselves headlong into another project, called We Covet (frankly, I have a thing for the word "covet", and am ever so glad to be able to deploy it here on the intarnets).

So what is this new site, you ask? Here's the four sentence(ish) break-down:

We Covet is a blog written for women by women about consumer goods, services, design, and style -- the good, the bad, and the ugly that we all encounter on a daily basis. Here we review products and product design, heralding the greatness of things we love and thumbing our noses at things we don't -- from makeup to toys, clothing to cameras, furniture to cleaning products, you name it. We want to share our finds and findings with you, have a few laughs, and make life prettier, easier, and more fun for our readers. Better living through consumerism! HUZZAH!

I wanted to create a space where I could share with other women my unvarnished, dead-honest opinions about things I buy, use, and yes, covet. A space that while being intimate and reflecting my taste(s), is a touch less personal than Sweetney, so I don't come off sounding like a cheesy infomercial (or, alternately, a devotee of Adbusters). Anyway, I'm really, really excited about being able to talk style and design and let my consumerist roots show a little, and I hope you'll enjoy peeking in on our design finds and product findings, and maybe in the process find a thing or two that you'll covet, too.

I'd love to hear any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or tips you might have about the site. And both Catherine and I want to feature reader picks for products and services they love, so please don't hesitate to email us at any time: wecovet@gmail.com

So please, go check it out, and let me know what you think!

This is AWESOME.

(I respond to you all the time on twitter, but alas, you don't follow me, so you never know all that I say! LOL)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo, le awesomeness is palatable... YAY!

[celticbuffy]

Love it! Heard about it on twitter earlier this morning and have already been on the site with each new twitter announcing a new post. Great idea!

[Jill (CDJ)]

What an awesome idea! Do you take submissions for covetous items?

[Chris]

Love it! Saw it linked on twitter and had to read it. I keep a covet list of my own, so now I just have another place to feed my list. Yay!

[Kathy]

I love this idea. I'm glad to see Photoshop Express mentioned. I'm not totally sold on it yet, as I'm not sure I need it, but it's a cool toy if you're away from your photoshoppin' computer. (Plus it's free.)

Purty!

You might like this site, too; it has a somewhat similar look-at-this-neat-thing angle:

I'm also a fan of the word "covet." Usually I get my covet fix from Target fan blogs ;)

Oh, That was fun! I love the new site! It's awesome! Was that a two headed doll? How cool is that? I'll be back to see more! Thanks!

Girl, that is seriously HIGH CONCEPT!!! You are an internet genius...

I'm trying to (a) not think about celebrities and (b) not covet things. So, in other words, I am your target audience. Given that I am weak and all.

I blogged about CycleBeads today and felt all sub conscious and wanted to post that no I do not work for them and am not getting any kickbacks or anything so I can understand you not wanting to sound like a schill. I just thought they were cool, that's all. Ramble over.

Very rad, indeed.
