Short story: I requested the JCA blog be added to J.Crew's 770 blog's Cool Clicks. (If you have not been following the story, there is the March 29th "J.Crew's (Un)Official Blog {will they like us?}" post, and the March 25th "J.Crew's (Un)Official Blog Is Here" post, for history.)"Thanks!" to Lisa, as well as Gem Twin (in this post), who noticed and shared that J.Crew did add the J.Crew Aficionada blog link on J.Crew's blog. The following screen shot is proof that we made it ladies and gentlemen. (And the link works, I checked!) :)
Wahoo! Honestly, I did not think we would get added. (I even voted "Never" in the "Do you think the JCA blog link will appear on J.Crew's 770 blog?" poll.) I am happy to be proven wrong!
I want to thank J.Crew for showing some love to this little ol' blog. I also want to thank this amazing community of Aficionadas & Aficionados (who truly love the brand through the good times and the not-so-good times).
Congrats JCAs!
Congratulations, Alexis! You work so hard to maintain this amazing community and it is great to see your link up there!

ReplyDeleteYay!! Congrats Alexis!
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Thanks for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alexis! I thought they would eventually add you (I said, "ever say never") and I'm thrilled it happened so quickly. Wonder if J.Crew will change their position to sanction posting by J.Crew staff on related blogs. We know they do anyway but the official stance was not to do so, if I remember correctly from a previous post.
ReplyDeletewohoo! yaye for alexis and yaye for jca's!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Alexis! It's about time!! :D

You made it, baby!! Congrats on this - it is well deserved.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Is it gone now? Textbook is the last one now. :(
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, what's going on here? I can only see 03/25 and older. What happened to the blog entries from late March and early April?
ReplyDeleteI guess it was a technical glitch while they created a new post. I see the link to J Crew Aficionada again. All is well. :)
ReplyDeletecongrats!!! now your life is complete.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well! DL decides he wants to hook his lil' red wagon to the Mothership. Congratulations, Alexis, I'm glad your blog has finally received (official) approval. I am very happy for you.
ReplyDeleteWell deserved, Alexis! Woot!!
ReplyDeleteThanks again everyone for the overwhelming support. Congrats all around! :)

ReplyDeleteKudos Alexis, I honestly can not think of a better run blog. You've mastered the rare art of promoting and allowing discourse where not everyone agrees, while maintaining civility. Somehow you do this without a heavy hand. jcrew and other's can learn from you.
ReplyDeleteI am watching with interest as J Crew forays into an area that they cannot control. For a marketer specially a brand based marketer, it is scary. Oh, what i would give to be fly on the wall for those meetings. I have been in them at my company. They are not fun and can be heated. Then the lawyers show up and they become quiet.
The naive try to ignore, sometimes control.... For instance by not allowing reviewed, or censoring comments. The best companies embrace the opportunity to have a two way conversation with their customers. Welcome J Crew. You get instant street cred by recognizing alexis' blog.
That is awesome! Congrats Alexis, hopefully this is only the beginning. :)
