Taking the paid ad plunge

I just received an email from an ad exec from Girls Life magazine. She was responding to my media kit request. I would be lying if I didn't feel the butterflies fluttering about in my stomach. I think online advertising may be a little cheaper so I'm going to request pricing for their smallest ad, the rectangle ad at 300x250. I spoke with a friend about doing a flash ad for me, I think that would look bad-ass.
