Gossip Blog Launches Queer Blog

Celebrity blog Jossip publisher David Hauslaib has launched Queerty, a blog about all things queer. It’s written by blog superstar Bradford Shellhammer of pre-blogging blog fame and published by Hauslaib.

Hauslaib, who, writing in the launch announcement says he’d “feel luckier than Michael Phelps’ Speedo if he could snag a mention in your magazine, newspaper, blog, dinner conversation or mental dialogue,” promises the blog will focus on fashion and style, entertainment and celebrity, news and politics, relationships and sex — and “any other really, really gay topic we (or you, our readers) can come up with.” Lest Adrants be accused of changing teams, there’s an advertising angle here as well. Hauslaib says, “Queerty puts advertisers in touch with this affluent demographic, which has long been abandoned by mainstream blog publishers.”

With the launch of Queerty, Hauslaib can now officially hang with the big boys of blog publishing, Denton and Calacanis.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
