During this time LadySteele was blogging at her leisure covering everything from the latest celebrity gossip to the hottest fashion trends and current events slowly becoming a media outlet for many of her peers. As she realized she had developed an audience and built demand for the news stories she posted, LadySteele was inspired to start her own gossip blog entitled ‘Rants Of Steele‘ In her rants LadySteele dishes on Celebrity gossip, rumors, blind Items and popular television shows and has received comparison to Wendy Williams in content and validity of her information.
