Hello Everyone!
You might have noticed that the blog network is down on Clutch and we wanted to let you know why. Well – we have decided to switch things up a bit and incorporate more fashion, beauty, money, career, decor, celebrity news and more into our daily blog – News.Gossip.Info. At this time, we are in the process of updating the site design for the changes. If you were a big fan of Stylistic, Fuchsia, Paper, Pad, The Edge or Golden – don’t worry – it’s still here, just in News. Gossip.Info. Stay tuned for the updated site and changes.
As always, thanks for supporting Clutch! We owe every bit of our success and growth to you. :)
xoxo, Dede

Hey Lish! Awwwww…Girl please – thanks for always being sweet! How are you though? It’s been a minute!
this blog is a heaven sent for the black community…trust!
Thanks for letting us know. but whatever you do please don’t take away the network format. I loved having everything separate cos things could get easily lost in the mix. And if you need help, please let me know what I can do.
Hi Cee Cee – thanks so much for chiming in! But, we have indeed decided to scrap the network for a couple of reasons. (1) A lot of our readers didn’t frequent them. We wanted to do the network as a way for you all to get fashion, beauty, and more daily in a blog format, but unfortunately, they (the blogs) did not pick up as we hoped.
(2) Though the blogs are are the top of the page and at the bottom of each page (as well as the side) of the page, lots of our readers (when surveyed) said they never visited the blogs or weren’t interested in them and some said they didn’t know how to get there.
(3) We have a very small staff and it was just a lot daily to keep them updated, especially when we didn’t see major support from our readers. By being small, we try to keep the site updated and filled with great content and by continuing to stretch the team could eventually cause a lack of quality and possibly the closing of Clutch all together.
But, we promise the new category style will definitely be easy to navigate and content will be easily to separate in to fashion, news, beauty, money, etc.
Thanks for always supporting Cee Cee!
Well I think a great thing just got better. It’s just more concentrated and strong. Like a diamond. Clutch is a solitary thing of beauty. It makes me happy!
I loved the blogs in the network format, but do what you must to keep this site going…lol. I LOVE this site! It fills the void in my heart after Suede magazine closed.
May I just add that this blog is the best thing since MAC makeup! I love it here. Thanks for all that you do and keep up the phenomenal work!
Thanks DeDe for keeping me in the loop. Love the new format.
