Paying Respect to the Fabulousness That is Elastic Waist

Many of you may have heard that Elastic Waist will be shutting down along with sister network blogs Product Fiend and Daily Bedpost. Mothership Conde Nast decided that there wasn't enough revenue sustainability in this down market. Seriously, I have no doubt the Dilbert drones couldn't see the future past the stat counter.

The shock of the news is still sinking in because EW is one of our girls, the playahs, the biggies in the healthy living blog niche. I also wanted to point out that I was really bugged by how Mediaweek referred to the three Conde blogs as "little known" so I gave them a piece of my mind over at The Everyday Blogger.

So today, on the last day of 2008, we would like to take a moment and pay our respects to our fellow healthy living blog comrade Elastic Waist. {We bow.}

I wish the best of luck to Weetabix, Anne, Kimberly and everyone else who gave their heart and soul at Elastic Waist. No doubt we have not heard the last of these fabulous people!

Update: Indeed, you can continue to hear some of their lovely voices over at Dearest Mabel minus the borg overlords.
