Tech-blogging model told to quit

Anina is a fashion model with a passion for technology. Recently, her agency gave her an ultimatum: Quit tech blogging, or get fired.

Anina writes, "If you have been wondering why i have not been posting a lot since coming back from germany, it's because my agency gave me an ultimatum: either quit doing the technology stuff, or leave the agency. they say that fashion and technology do not go together."

Media Girl has compiled bloggers' reactions to Anina's story.



Lindsay Beyerstein a New York writer blogging at Majikthise.

whose afraid of the big, bad, educated woman?

fashion people should prove Anina's agency wrong

Anina needs a new agency
