HobokenGirl Blog

Sometimes GA feels like a tiny minnow swimming in a giant vat of testosterone.

That is, the male-dominated Hoboken blogosphere.  

Excluding the mommy-blogs of course; GA gives big props to the mommy-bloggers. I AM a mommy you know, and only wish they existed back when I was navigating pregnancy. Truth be told, I didn't know I had a mucus plug so didn't miss it one bit when it was gone. Or that I could put my kid to work at 6 months. Indeed, mommy-blogs would have been a convenient alternative to searching out tips on the playgrounds of Hoboken.  Which is what I did.  God knows what I picked up there and from whom.  My parenting was guided by such outdoor experimentation. But that was the way it was done BMB: before the mommy-blogs.

So, bless the mommy-bloggers and all the support they give us.

It's the other blogosphere I'm talking about.  Local news, politics, all-things Hoboken, which seems to be ruled by the XYs.

Which is why GA was excited to learn the testosterone pool just got a shot of estrogen- starting this March- from the Hoboken Girl Blog!

I found her blog today, went there and really like what she's doing. No politics, just local stuff as told from a girl's perspective.  Or a "Jersey Girl's" perspective, is how she put it.

Go, sister!

We girls are a vastly under-served demographic, considering we're at least 50% of the population. And in a city where some of the most powerful, influential people are women: Dawn Zimmer, Carol Marsh, Jen Giattino and (yes) Michelle Russo, who is a 'boss' of sorts.

So GA salutes the new girl-blogger,  Hoboken Girl and wishes her longevity.

*Here's where you let me know about all the other Hoboken girl-blogs I've missed- but please spare me Mooshu's cyber-drek.

Finally, a very happy Easter or good Pesach to their respective celebrants.

And don't forget- Easter chocolate goes ON SALE tomorrow!

GA was remiss in leaving out the powerful, influential women of Kids First:   Rose Markle, Theresa Minutillo, Ruthy McAllister, Irene Sobolov and Leon Gold.

Sorry, ladies!
