blog advertising is good for you

here’s to the lady who launched

cieca_launch

La Cieca is proud to relaunch a completely overhauled parterre.com, previously seen in fragments, dribs and drabs, but now here to stay. The new look features a return to the (now) retro punky aesthetic of the early ’90s zine, updated fonts and all sorts of other improvements intended to enhance your reading and commenting pleasure.

Designer of the new parterre look is that Cardin of the CSS Nicholas Scholl, formerly of Trrill and currently busily tweeting from (at?) twitter.com/trrill. He is also a member of the team at Patent Leather Daddy.

Your doyenne welcomes your reactions to the new look.

    Congrats, La Cieca, on a lovely and not too extreme yet tasteful Home Makeover.

    Will the re-model eventually house such lost treasures of Filth and Dementia, as Mari Lyn’s reading of Violetta’s letter? Or Elinor Ross’ and her cockadoodle-doo-doo of Non Mi Dir? Or Eleaner Steber’s dizzying Italian Street Song? The subtle yet witty bobblehead GIF animation of Jessye Norman?

    Please please please!

    Brava, La Cieca! It’s like coming home–and that’s a good thing.

  • Camille says:

    La Cieca, mon vieux, you look more lovely than Mme. Flambe!!!

    The Mister sez, and to paraphrase “Master Class” —

    ‘You’ve GOT a Look!!!”

    You’ve never looked better, La Cieca. Congrats!

  • Lindoro Almaviva says:

    I’ll be short and to the point:

    Fucking Fabulous!

  • Alto says:

    Cara Cieca, it looks divine. I’m so happy for you and for all of us. It is clean, eminently readable, and has a certain chic.

    And the gentleman courting you in the photo above is my idea of a design improvement, as well.

  • Grimgerde2 says:

    I love the iconic costume changes – and everything else. Brava!

  • Ruxton says:

    Bigger font for the oldies please.

    What a wonderful surprise to log in this morning and find this stunning new look–as sharp and bright as La Cieca herself. This look has a real profile.
