Hi there,

I’m Anna Holmes, and I’m the managing editor of Jezebel, Gawker Media’s newest title, which is launching this afternoon. Jezebel’s mission is to cover celebrity, sex, and fashion for women — without airbrushing. Think of it as the sort of women’s media property that could never see the light of day in traditional print because the big-name advertisers and the publishers who kowtow to them don’t much like it when someone points out the vulgarity of a $2,000 handbag.
