Lots of coolness has just happened or is happening in the way of ladies and gaming in the past and coming few weeks and I wanted to share some of it with you!



GamerchiX has recently signed on our 2000th member! We had hoped that girls would find this group helpful but never imagined we would grow this large so quickly. There is  such a great mix of women in the group, too. They are coming up with great ideas of how to break into the gaming business through writing, developing and other avenues. Their creativity is also becoming apparent through their designs for tee shirts. TriXie, Kitty and I will be working hard in the future to get their ideas and works to everyone so all can appreciate the passion that these girls have and to also try and debunk the myth that we never venture out of our little "safe spot".



This brings me to our next highlight - TriXie has just informed us that the "My Mom's a Gamer" contest has gone LIVE! Intrigued? You should be! In honor of gaming moms everywhere, Microsoft is running a contest where you can win a beautiful bouquet of flowers for your mom on Mother's Day while scoring a sexy Xbox 360 Elite for yourself. All you have to do is write an essay detailing your mom's gaming style.

Eligibility:
13 years of age and over
United States and Canada (no Quebec)

Prize:
Mother’s Day Flowers for your mom (or legal female guardian), an Xbox 360 Elite for you

And last but not least, one of our ChiX - maj1013 has written a great article about what it's like to be a female gamer in the midst of shoe hoarding, non-believers. Please check it out!
