Cajsa asked two very interesting questions to Bloggers on her plurk timeline, so I thought I would re-post it here and also write my responses.
Bloggers! Two Questions!
1) How long did you blog before you received your first review copy from a designer that was not a close friend?
My first blog was kind of a mess. I was not aware of the fashionplanet feed yet, so I didn’t read anybody’s blog. I just made one to document my shopping and stuff I did with my friends. I never wrote a single review or did proper credits. Then one day, a friend showed me the fashionplanet feed and I saw so many fashion bloggers, some of them had great pics, some of them didn’t. I thought I could do it better, so I took my blog more “seriously” and moved it from Vox (lol, right?) to WordPress.
Oh, and nobody ever sent me any review copies just because they liked my blog. I didn’t have any designer friends either, I just fangirl’d them from afar, LOL!!!
2) How long did you blog before you first requested a review copy of an item from a designer? (not a friend)
After I blogged for a few months, I asked Raven Pennyfeather (and Harper Beresford) for review copies of gorgeous House of Rfyre gowns. So yay! Thanks girls for not turning me away and dashing my fashionista dreams 😛
I really didn’t ask for many review copies until I felt confident that my blog had traffic and and decent pictures. There were lots of already established bloggers then, and of course, Linden Lifestyles and the Second Style blog/mag. I felt like I wasn’t anywhere near their level of traffic so I didn’t feel “deserving” of review copies.
I think that my experience as a fashion blogger differs from some of the new fashion bloggers now. I barely ever saw “review copies” mentioned back then, but now almost every designer has a policy listed somewhere in their profile or website, which encourages more bloggers to ask for them.
How I feel about the state of SL fashion blogging now is.. eh.. I’ll tell you guys another time 😛
I fell in love with it too! Only, with my red hair, I look a bit like Carrot Top. :/
You’re adorable! Thank you for sharing the link! 🙂
Gogo, don´t want to adopt kid,:DD? in sl
btw This hair are isnpirated by RIhanna´s hair AMAZING JOB
I agree. I LOVE this hair. I rarely buy fatpacks in hair, but I couldn’t resist with this one. I love all the colors. My first hair from LeLutka but I think I’ll definitely get more in the future. The color options are gorgeous.
This is too…uncoordinated for me. I am a fan of big hair, such as hair from Mirari Style, but this is too busy I think. Not a fan of have it crimped with the big dreadlock looking things haha. I love the other styles that came out with this oen though hehe. They totally need to make more hair, big fan of LetLuka :)…they seem more…young for faces.
Are you going to feature anything else other than bulk Lelutka or Exile hair, dear Gogo?
