Friends Never Say Goodbye

I started this blog back in 2009. At the time, I was freelancing and wanted to make sure my writing skills didn't get rusty. Plus, I thought it would be fun to write about fashion −a lifelong interest− on a regular basis.

But this blog turned into so much more than just an enjoyable writing exercise. Because of this blog I made new friends here in Columbus and as far away as Australia. It has given me opportunities to cover events and brands... I wouldn't change a thing. But it's time for a change, if that makes sense.

I've started a new blog. It's a Tumblr called Thoroughly Modern Melly. You know me, I can be wordy. And I will continue to write long-ish posts. But sometimes, especially in fashion, a picture really is worth a thousand words and I'll be posting more pictures at TMM than I did here.

I'm inspired by images all day, every day, and I want to share them. Sure, I could have done that here, but the Blogger platform isn't as photo-friendly as Tumblr. Side note: I'm sure Google would be thrilled to know I'm talking up a competitor's platform here. Anyway...

To have a look at Thoroughly Modern Melly, click here. I would be thrilled if all my Thread readers subscribed to my TMM RSS feed. Or bookmarked the new blog. We'll have fun, I promise.

I've mixed some old posts with the new. (I explain why over there.) And, as always, I appreciate any feedback you might have. Just don't leave it here! Drop me a line at mlmcintyre@gmail.com if you're so inclined.

And follow me on Twitter! My handle is @Mel_McIntyre.

Finally, I just want to thank all of you for taking time out of your busy lives to read my ramblings over the last couple years. You're the best. Truly.

~M.M.
