After a few months of planning, designing and developing we give you a new version of Fling it Girl. We completely switched up the site. One of the biggest changes is how the site runs. Along with being user-generated we built our own technology so we can feature hand-picked sites we like. What it allows us to do is follow fashion sites and group together related content from other sources.If you have not checked out the site give it a look. It’s a fashionista’s playground! I will be updating our blog to point out how our new features work and help you navigate the site better.

So yes, we did take a short trip to the beaches of Florida but it’s not what you think, we are not on hiatus. While this blog has been somewhat neglected it is not because nothing new is going on at Fling it Girl. Plenty is happening and you guys will see shortly. To best describe it Fling it Girl is getting the ultimate makeover. Her fashion is being tended to and we can’t wait to show her off.
Thanks for your patience! You have new features, SWEET GIVEAWAYS and a new sister on the way!

Just when we thought our week could not get any better it did and totally blew us away. We woke up to find out we were featured on CNET News, which was a huge bonus! Then we hit up the Digg Townhall that was being taped live at The Big Tent. I had the chance to speak to Kevin Rose and Jay Adelson. It was pretty cool to speak to the guys behind Digg, the site that inspired us to build Fling it Girl. I told them about Fling it Girl, they thought it was cool and congratulated me on creating it.
After that our group was scrambling to score some tickets to the speech. Just a few hours before the speech we had tickets in our hand. We have some great friends to thank for making it happen! As you can imagine we were so excited to be attending Obama’s speech. It is hard to put into words what kind of a night it was…all Mr. FlingitGirl could say was WOW. All I can say is that it was an amazing experience and one I am very thankful I could be a part of.

Day 3 of the DNC was AMAZING! The coolest event so far was the free show that Rage Against the Machine put on at the Denver Coliseum. Everyone who went is talking about how insanely sweet the show was. It truly was a great concert, the energy was overflowing as you can imagine. We were on the ground floor about 8 rows back before Rage came out, when they started with Bulls on Parade a huge mosh movement started and we were shoved up to the front row! See a video of my view. Check out Andrew Hyde’s photos from the event, the first two below are pulled from his photo set.
Right after the concert Rage, The Flobots and The Coup (bands that opened for Rage) led a peaceful protest in support of Iraq Veterans Against the War. To read up on the details check out MTV’s coverage.
