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.

The site is going live just as this email is being sent. Check it out: http://www.jezebel.com

To further introduce the site and explain our mission, we've published a Manifesto about the evils of women's magazines: http://tinyurl.com/26pqsb

And, we're offering $10,000 to the person who sends us the best, UNRETOUCHED women's magazine cover image:

Other launch-day exclusives include Label Whores, in which we take faux-designer clothing into consignment shops and see how much we can get for it (answer: way too much):

And an edited reel of clips from the week's best talk shows: http://tinyurl.com/244978

We'd love to hear your feedback on the site. To make raising your voice easier, there's a Gawker Media comment invitation included at the bottom of this email. (If you're already registered as a commenter on another Gawker site, your login will work fine on Jezebel, so feel free to forward this email along to a friend to use.) Of course, we're also hoping you'll have stories and tips to send our way at tips@jezebel.com. Either way, thanks for reading.

Tearing my perfectly highlighted hair out,

Anna Holmes
Managing Editor, Jezebel
