How Did I Forget Our Anniversary?

Today I realized it's been over a year since I started this blog.  It began as a random project to let me opine about butch fashion, gender expression, etc.  Since then, BW has grown to over 1000 unique readers daily (40,000-50,000 monthly!) and been voted About.com's Best Lesbian Blog of the Year. You've commented over 1000 times to my over 150 posts.  Wow, dear readers.

I didn't expect to enjoy writing BW this much.  Yeah, I love writing.  And yeah, I care about these issues.  But I wasn't expecting to receive hundreds of emails saying that a blog entry made you think, or made you laugh, or helped you get through your day in some small way.  Thank you so much for reading.  It means a whole lot to this butch.

I hope this year will be even better.  I want to keep writing stuff you enjoy and find relevant, keep giving you solid fashion advice, and keep starting different dialogues about gender and sexual orientation.  I want to finally flesh out the Butch Store, have more guest posts, and make occasional video or audio postings.  Maybe we'll grow, maybe not.  Maybe I'll finally break even on this thing (ha!), maybe not.  But regardless, we're all going to have a really freakin' good time and keep building this community of readers, butches and non-butches alike.

Whether you're a new reader or a longtime one: thank you for making this year awesome.

Love, hugs, and fistbumps,
Butch Wonders

P.S. Some of you have written asking if I've covered particular topics.  This weekend, I'll make an index that should be easier to navigate than the usual post tags, and will help you see what I've written about various things.

P.P.S. Thanks again.  You rock.

I have to say finding Butch Wonders really helped me out personally. I can relate to your posts on so many levels (the early ones especially) and cannot wait to see BW grow even more. Thanks for everything you do!

Wow. I've been blogging for three years and don't have stats like that! How amazing that you reach so many people.
I really appreciate your blogs, both the serious and the tongue in cheek (so to speak). And I've met some great people who found me through your blog, so thank you for spreading the love.

I remember stumbling across the site sometime last year (solely from trying to find ways to wear dress shirts without revealing how busty I am.) I remember sending in a question and having it turned into an entire post - which is still counted as one of the coolest things to have ever happened to me. But most of all, I remember feeling the power of a community that not only understood me, but really, truly cared about me. For that, I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough, BW. I know I'm a bit late, but, Happy Anniversary, honey!
