Thanks To All Designers

Hi Lovelies :)

Ok so upon reading a plurk from a friend about bloggers (particularly in regards to those who do reviews) not being rockstars causing an overall snobby stuck up "I'm too good for you" type of attitude which is unneeded.
Bloggers:
1. We are bloggers by choice
2. Designers that give review copies do so with kindness and generosity
3. Nobody owes us anything so quit the attitude
4. Have some respect and appreciation
Designers:
1. We are thankful & sorry if we didnt blog faster, or personally thank you
2. You give these review copies but whats done afterwards may not always be what you wanted
3. If you're worried about things not have gone through, send the blogger a NC to make sure without being all stalker/annoying

Within the same post came the topic of how review bloggers/fashion bloggers who get review copies, don't say thank you. I totally understand being busy with RL, SL, and even the fact that some bloggers get an overwhelming amount of review copies and cant do everything in one day. I know you do appreciate the kind gesture of the designers, but maybe sometimes we can show it even by just mentioning a thanks in the blog, writing an entry dedicated to thanking designers. Or write a notecard and send it to any designer who you blogged within the day etc. This way everyone wins and appreciation is shown for both parties.

Anyways that was just my personal opinions and advice on the topics. I myself am not a blogger who gets reviews, I've gotten a few from friends. But regardless the stuff I buy, win, etc comes from hard working designers, so for that I Thank You All for your hard work and commitment to making SL pretty :)

Till next time my dears.

Love,
Renee
