Miracle: it’s because she is the only child of rich parents. There is a video that shows her parents’ house and they are loaded. Also, she mentioned on livejournal her mom taking her on thousand dollar shopping spree.

No offense to Gala, she doe a good job on her blog, but point should be made that she doesn’t make all the money she spends on her fabulous New York lifestyle from blogging. Not possible from adsense and a few ads alone.

hey, I actually have a question in regards to Gala’s blog and income. I am inspired by her attempt to right to a demographic instead of one topic so I went to look over her site. What I noticed [failed to notice] was a lack of advertising or money-making outlets. There is one link with a shop that sells a booklet of some sort, but other than that – nothing. I was curious as to what her own strategy about making money on a blog.

I’m a guy, so I don’t really care about fashion (okay, I’m a stereotypical geek guy), but Gala’s photography style impressed me significantly, and if I were interested…I would read the site. Good article – liked the thoughts on positivity.

I’m new to blogging and this is just what I’m looking for in terms of content and help. Thank you Gala. Terrific insight, attitude and info. Congrats on the Cosmo invite. Can’t wait to “see” more.

And Drupal brings another to the dark side. I run my blog on Drupal as well. That will surely be a difficult task to switch. Good luck and when your done you should post something at Drupal.org about it.

Gala,
Your eyes are absolutely breathtaking, and overall you are very gorgeous.

Spiritually, I just felt that that needed to be said.

I haven’t visited Gala’s blog before but from the post above I don’t doubt why she’s made it – she is so lovely and bold. I particularly like pt. 2 and 8. Thanks for the sharing.

Gala really knows how to use photos to their potential….something I hadn’t thought of doing on my own blog. Good stuff.

Gala – Your hair is brilliant, and I will check out your tips. Sadly though, I am many years older now, and would probably not get away with blue hair.

Darren – you seem to like women’s clothes a lot, as I know you were already a big fan of the Manolo blog, and now it seems you read Gala’s blog too. What do you really wear whilst blogging?

Gala, my girlfriend loves the fashion in that movie The Devil Wears Prada… so I showed her your blog. She loves it. Think you have a new reader.

Well I for one won’t be changing my hair color… never have, never will.

…except for the natural way that it’s changed, of course. Why would I want to change what changed the old fashioned way (I earned it!) :-)

Gala, great post!

The colors may be a little shocking for an retired relic like me, but you make a lot of sense.

Best of luck!

who would have ever thought a ProBlogger thread would have turned to hair color! :-)

side note – did you know I used to regularly peroxide my hair? Of course when you have hair as short as mine it turns into an exercise that you have to do every few weeks – which isn’t great for your scalp – probably why I’m balding now :-)
