The Weekly Interview Column

As us bloggers know, getting on the Teen Vogue website once is difficult, but twice is impossible, is it not? Well, if you ask fifteen year old power-blogger Gladys Lopez that, the typical response might be different. I've chosen Gladys as this weeks "interviewee" because she not only blogs like a mad-men, she's very consistent with it.
