Blair Valley Media

First she captivated us with her behind the scenes look at fashion in MadGlam. Now, Joelle Litt has joined forces with her sisters, Jennifer & Jessica & good friend Nadia to bring us The V Word.

The V Word is Sex in the city meets Sue Johanson, with a bit of glam mixed in along the way. Smart, sexy and informative, The V Word will titilate and teach.

As one might expect, these girls love to party, so to launch The V Word the team is hosting Under The Covers, an evening of cocktails and even a fashion show featuring the sexy lingerie of designer Billy Rose. Under The Covers is happening July 21 at 577 King Street West in downtown Toronto.

Things are rolling along quite nicely in BVM land. Each of our blogs are growing solid, loyal reader bases and it’s time to take things to a new level. That means we need to find some complementary corporate partners to help us grow. The problem is that we aren’t ad sales guys!

We are looking for an Online Ad Sales Specialist to join our merry band. The right person will ideally have a real job and will hunt down new corporate partners on a part time basis. Compensation will be based on a percentage of revenue generated. The more you generate, the more content we can generate & so the cycle begins!

We seem to be on a bit of a fashion roll here in Blair Valley, as we’ve just launched our second fashin blog, MadGlam. As the name implies, MadGlam will be a little less couture than Hautewatch. The focus here is on fun, with some inside views from Toronto area shows and industry events. I’m pretty sure that Joelle, Melissa and Caitlin will also share a few shopping hints along the way too! If we’re lucky, we might even see the odd bit of glam history.

We figured that we needed to dress things up around Blair Valley, so we decided to hit the runway with HauteWatch. Toronto fashion scene gurus Gabby Totesau and Tara McCarthy are planning to dish up the best in Haute fashion from shows around the world with some extra special treatment for the home town.

If a picture says a thousand words, then a moving picture must tell…well, more than a thousand. Let’s face it, people love the video. Readers love the video. If you’re showing video, your blog is more fun than the blog that hasn’t yet figured out how to post video.

Here at BVM, we tried a couple of different plugins to make videos easy for me, the tech dunce, to post. None of them worked for more than a few viewings, then they packed up and went home. Then, the tech guru around here started posting videos from the ugly editor. This was the post editor I didn’t know existed, as I was using the pretty post editor. The tech guru mocked me. I found the ugly editor and figured out how to make it work for me. Once I got the hang of it, it was really pretty easy.

Here in Blair Valley, I started playing around with blogs in September 2004. What started as a bored Saturday afternoon at work turned into full blown Blogsession early in 2005. From this, Blair Valley Media has been born. These are the blogs we write these days.

The Garage

My baby. The Garage is where I babble on about Automotive News, Reviews, Road Tests and all sorts of other cool car stuff.

Random

Our IT guru Jaime Macpherson shares his truly Random thoughts about techie gadgets, coffee and life in the Canadian Near North.

Foodies Across Borders

The newest addition to the family, Foodies is the place where we share our love of entertaining. Our star writer, One of Seven (She’s a bit shy) lives in the mountains and adds some incredible flavour to our day.

The Jumping Bunny

On occasion we take the time to make the odd post about some kid stuff. In The Jumping Bunny Mom & Dad and sometimes even the kids write toy reviews, news and reviews of kids events. We know, we know… There should be a bunny, not a cat. We are hoping to spend more time with TJB in the future, because it’s a lot of fun!

Welcome to Blair Valley Media. This is new virtual cork board for this little blog network. You’ll find news about the network and it’s blogs.
