On Saturday morning I got a message from a friend on Facebook saying that HYA was in The Guardian. To say I was surprised was something of an understatement, my little blog being mentioned in one of the UKs most respected newspapers? Surely it was some kind of typo.
But no, I rushed out and bought the paper, threw away the part with actual news in it and opened up their award-winning Guide section. In the internet guide in the Guardian Guide is a fairly light-hearted affair, the larger site reviews featured a fishing blog, and Totally Looks Like, a site about celebrity look-a-likes. But on the right of the page there was a column called “Blog Roll: T-shirts”, where I happily found myself featured, even if I don’t think that the description is all that accurate.
For dedicated followers of the hoodie and advances in loud slogans.
Loud slogans? Oh. Here’s a list of the other blogs that were mentioned:
Fat Seagull
Thunderfrogs
Banned T-Shirts Blog
Crucial Headache
Spreadshirt UK
Rumplo
I’m surprised to see some of the choices they made (where’s Tcritic? Since when is Rumplo a blog?), and I do wonder where they found their links considering Thunderfrogs, Banned Shirts & Crucial Headache aren’t that widely known in the world of tee blogs, but I’m still really happy to see Hide Your Arms being mentioned in a printed publication for the first time.
