Yesterday, former Us Weekly staffer Alyssa Shelasky started her new gig as the poor dating blogger for Glamour magazine's website. Rather than just blog about her romantic adventures, however, Alyssa is journeying down the path to glossy self-exploitation, wherein readers vote on how she should conduct herself and she agrees to heed their advice. Yesterday, 61% of readers told her to call some flirty guy just to tell him that she liked his friend better; as it only could, this resulted in an awkward voicemail message in which Alyssa no doubt sounded like a bit of a dumbass. Good job, Glamour readers!

Earlier, it was revealed with much excitement that former Us Weekly staffer Alyssa Shelasky would be breathing life back into the Sex and the City genre with her blog for Glamour's website. Called "See Alyssa Date," the blog would detail Shelasky's love life and allow readers to help her decide how to handle her romantic endeavors (so basically, if you vote in a poll that Shelasky should give it up on the first date with Mr. Big — or, in her first post, Mr. Big Talker — she will).

Conde Nast's website for Glamour relaunched this month, bringing with it a bunch of corporate-approved, newfangled blogs on fashion, beauty, and — oh yes — sex. Specifically, the sex life of former Us Weekly reporter Alyssa Shelasky, who will do her best Carrie Bradshaw impression with her own Glamour.com blog, "See Alyssa Date." According to Eat the Press, Shelasky will be "sharing the details of her various dating adventures with her readers," who will respond with their comments and, somewhat horrifyingly, an online poll to decide how Alyssa should conduct her love life. Worst of all, Glamour EIC Cindi Leive says that poor Shelasky will have to "take [readers'] counsel seriously."
