I regret to announce that I have decided to leave the staff of Glamour Reese Witherspoon. Before anyone freaks out, let me just say that Mycah will continue the site as it is – GRW is not closing down! It is only me who is stepping down. The site is not going anywhere. Mycah has been without internet connection for a few months but will be back with updates soon.

I have been a fan of Reese for over a decade and running the site since 2005 so this is not a decision that I came to lightly. In fact, I have been thinking about it for a good while. While I still adore Reese Witherspoon and will continue to follow her career, perhaps occasionally report news here and stop by at the forum, I do not have the motivation to continue running the site. I suppose this mainly sources from the fact that Reese has been acting in movies very little lately. While I sincerely respect the fact that she prefers to spend time with her family, out of the spotlight, it is not super-motivating for me to continue running the site. I know that we have Four Christmases to look forward to but I am personally not very much into romcoms and I would prefer to see Reese work on something more substancial and challenging a la Walk the Line.

Who knows, I may very well be back in the future if things change but for now, I feel I am not doing justice on the site when I have so little motivation – and time – to update.

See you around!

Thanks for your time spent at GRW Riikka! I’m sure Mycah will do a great job keeping up with things from now on. Thanks to the both of you for keeping the spirit of GRW alive! :blush:

You did a great job Riikka! Hope to see you on it from time to time! Glad to see your keeping it on Mycah!

P.S – Kevin – GRW was started back in 2001-2002ish by me. Riikka took it over when I stepped down and did a fabulous job

Wow! You’re not going to be running this site anymore? Things sure have changed a lot. I feel like I understand your decision all too well. Will you be investing yourself in another website?

Thanks for the comment, Ruth. I still run scarlett-fan.com and rose-mcgowan.com among others.
