I actually took the time to comment on one of his 'must have this xxxxxx'-posts questioning his motives and got a pagelong very polite reply. Too bad it's rubbish, I'm afraid I might be too lazy to pick his arguments apart. I have failed to inspire him to think about what he is doing, but I don't know how I could expect anything but faliure. Besides, I doubt it's worth my time, and he seems to be enjoying himself, so why bother.
Originally posted by morsto View PostHWith, I had a similar experience not so long ago, probably some of the same blogs including the one from the picture (which is one of the worst I've seen, this guy is fucking terrible). On some of them in their "Inspiration" posts I even found pictures from SZ waywt and it made me super sad. The cph fashion week is swarmed with this exact type; they hype the exact same clothes, restaurants etc. and all look alike in the same trendy fast fashion rubbish, which is only trendy cause they hype it up themselves. It's like a sewing circle for people without personalities and I would never attend anything fashion related locally knowing I would have to deal with the "today I ate a cupcake" morons. This turned out to be a bit more of a rant than I wanted it to be but oh well.

Ideally, yes, we would deal with the fallout before discussing things, but, here at least, the conversation starts when the checks start being written. They have already started, so the options are "sit back and let lobbyists make the entire conversation" or "start a debate too early."
No graceful option, in my opinion.
EDIT: And, Faust, I think I actually had something miserable for breakfast, a protein shake. I was just joking about HWith's post.Hobo: We all dress up. We all put on our armour before we walk out the door, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re trying to be someone else.

Seriously...
Yeah I agree. Some of my female friends also read a bunch of these blogs and now that most of them are studying at the university etc. it makes sense for them to read blogs where women/girls find good things at reasonable prices in 'ordinary' shops (H&M, Zara, you name it) and put them together. One of them, though, linked me that same blog a few days ago and I was absolutely stunned.
I know that most SZers follow a somewhat same "path", but I believe that the term 'fashion' is a subject to be discussed and interpreted. When that is said I have to completely agree on the runway review part. For my part a lot of time during the Copenhagen Fashion Week one and a half month ago, was spend on reading different websites, watching clips on the internet and of course blogs to see what was going on. But those reviews....or what ever you want to call them. Its just...so biased in a way (don't think I can explain it proper english).
People are entitled to have their opinion and thats okay. But those reviews give absolutely nothing. There are no perspective, no history and no comparison with any real substance. Its nothing but 'bla bla bla' and that can be alright in some cases. It would, nonetheless, (one spell that in one long word?) be nice with some more quality to things in general.
- my two cents

Originally posted by ProfMonnitoff View PostI can understand them charging money to access content and hope that it will raise the quality of their content, but discriminating by platform is ridiculous. The article doesn't even mention that there is another completely different subscription model for e-reader devices.

^ the most amazing thing in that article is that apparently the NYT spent $40m to create the paywall. that just can't be right. on the tech side, one developer could do it in a couple of weeks, if not days. where did the other $39.99m go?Originally posted by jogui went out to take garbage out and froze my tits runnin down stairs , think im gonna chill at home tonite . hungry tho anyone have cool ideas on what to order for supper , not pizza tho sick of pizza

I can get behind 15 bucks a month. It's not that much to pay for quality journalism.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I am rather tired of a million and one girls with DSLRs using macro lenses and standing pigeon-toed in Acne wedges."Lots of people who think they are into fashion are actually just into shopping"
