Moreover, I've only heard of two of the blogs (boingboing and Huffington). That probably says a lot more about me than them, but at the very least it implies that the concept of success is relative. :) I haven’t heard of a single woman on that list.

If you think about it, what would be the most interesting, doing a top 10 list of male clothe designers / hair stylist or female ones?

No one would write a list of the most influential male bloggers - they would just write a list of bloggers period. The fact that they had to shove 'female' in there seems a bit backward to me. It's like it's making a big deal out of the fact that there are female bloggers to begin with when that should be the norm. I disagree with the idea that lists like this are a step away from sexism.

My fave female blogger is Sharon Astyk ( http://www.sharonastyk.com ). She's one in a million. What a strange, narrow, boring list that was.

Heh, 2 weeks ago I had one of my friends going "Leah Culver? I keep hearing people mention her name and wonder if she's the same Leah I used to intern with at IBM..." "Dude, just Google Images her name and she's the blonde one all over the page" "Woah, that IS Leah!"
