People have lots of misconceptions about bloggers, maybe because we’re all so different from each other in so many ways. For example, someone I don’t know (and who didn’t know I was a blogger) commented extensively in group chat at a crowded event that they hated bloggers because “they only blog what they get for free,” blah blah blah. Well, although that might be true for some bloggers, it really got under my skin. Yes, if you’re sponsored, you get free items from your sponsors to blog; that’s your job. And you can see right there in the blog who sponsors a blogger (I have four sponsors, you can see their logos). But there’s so much more to putting together a look than just putting on a piece of clothing, and speaking only for myself, I often do posts that don’t feature a single sponsored (aka free) item (which is why I’m always cruising sales and events). This particular post is a perfect example. I saw an outfit that I thought would be killer on my curvy body, bought it, and created what you see here where the only sponsored item is the lingerie (and it does happen to be my go-to lingerie for those very short SL styles). And let me tell you, putting together a look is not just a few minutes work… it can take hours and hours and hours, not to mention lots of lindens to achieve a result you’re happy to put your name on. You don’t blog because it’s easy or “for the free stuff.” You blog because you love it. Otherwise, it’s a chore.
Well, enough ranting for today. I can’t of course, promise anything for tomorrow lol. As for you Ms. Anonymous AntiBlogger, you know what you can do with your misinformed little opinion. And as for me, “I have my freedom, I can make my own rules…” 😉
