Just read on Jezebel that MissBehave the blog is no longer. The mag went under a few months ago, but writers for the site received a mass-email on Monday from publisher Samantha Moeller that the show would not go on. Sam blogs about it on her personal site, HipsterMom.
“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since I went away and well I might as well just come straight out with it….I’m not going to be working on Missbehave anymore. Ouch. It hurts to say out loud. I haven’t issued a statement on the site yet but I thought that I would take baby steps and start here. It’s sad because Missbehave was my life for so long. It was once a great Magazine and with time could have become a really great website, but it seemed like each week my pregnancy sunk in, the more my head was somewhere else, like here, writing about funny stuff that happens at the playground or my toddler shopping addiction. I’ll admit it, my lifestyle is changing. “
There’s been some fall out with one former writer miffed on lack of payment. And okay, while there’s no denying the suckage of not being paid money due to you, I’m depressed to see MissBehave circle the drain. I did a column for the mag called “Meetin in the Ladies Room,” and I did it for very little pay ’caused I thought it was an amazing magazine (shoot–it had Kelis as a columnist!). The site’s blog was fun, too, and as a HighSnobetter, I always envied its dope manicure coverage, not to mention all the random and never predictable coverage and opinions. Sam, mami, good luck with the new bambino, and thanks for all the many, many goodies you brought to the table. The babies are lucky to have you full time and no doubt we haven’t heard the last of you as far as creative projects and ideas and whatnot are concerned.
