We definitely saw the petite community grow this year. When I launched Shorty Stories back in 2006 (yes, we have been around that long. However, the Shorty Stories blog did not launch until 2007), I was one of perhaps three petite blogs (Petite Fashionista and Some Small Sense. The latter stopped posting a few years ago). Today, we have a growing community, of which I think Extra Petite and Alterations Needed are the biggest (at least in terms of comments). I am hoping that in 2011, we will see an even bigger increase in petite bloggers and perhaps some press from mainstream media and body image activists. And what about Shorty Stories itself? Besides our upcoming Petite Fashion Challenge (have you signed up yet?), we are looking at:
- Increase the number of followers
- Guest blogging (let me know if you're interested! I'll write for you and you can write for me!) - especially from people interested in writing about their own petite experiences (after all, that was the whole purpose of Shorty Stories when it launched in 2006)
- More giveaways (look for one in the coming weeks. We are actually hoping to do at least four or five in 2011!)
- Petite blogger profiles (again, let me know if you're interested!)
- More petite designer profiles (I know you're out there!!)
- Start posting videos again, both style-related as well as rants
Let me know if you're interested in seeing anything else or if you want to write!
