Well, look at that, a young woman who has decided to deal with the dating scene by taking it to the blogosphere; have we had enough of them? Without a doubt, it's an overcrowded market, so it's worthy of a celebration when a young woman with a whipcrack sense of humour and a sharp command of idiomatic expression hits the wire. You'll rarely find a blog as entertaining and varied as Sexy Typewriter, whose creator "documents her failures in dating and being a grown-up". Rather than whine about the lack of available gents or whine even more when they turn out to be unimpressive, ST' s engaging prose sees her putting her experiences in forms that make them digestible, her self-deprecating humour far from uncomfortable and her methods far from self indulgent. Not content with writing only about herself, the anonymously posited author polls the world of social media (follow her on Twitter or comment on the blog if you want to be included in her surveying) to put together such notable collections as Deeply Unsexy Dating Photos and Dating Fail Haikus. Not one to miss out on trending topics, she also includes such relevant collections as her list of Songtrack For The Apocalypse and, from time to time, hands the reins over completely to a guest blogger. It's the most fun you can have in a world where Sex And The City has become popcorn-selling trash, and the admiration you'll feel for someone who wears her battle scars so proudly on her sleeve will make it a memorable experience. Of course, our being entertained by this terrific wit is dependent on keeping up the level of unfortunate experiences she suffers in the land of love: I'm tempted to hope that no one ever marries her and interrupts the wicked flow.
