Be Different!
OK! I am in a mood and I am willing to take some flack for this as I "know" others are thinking the same thing. They have told me so. Hence I am the designated messenger.
If five or seven or ten other folks have blogged the item you are featuring, you are not being original. I know you might love looking at yourself in the newest - skin, hair, dress, house etc.. I do too; trust me.
Still. Wouldn't it be a bit more creative and good for your readers --- who most likely don't just read YOUR blog -- to go out and find something new to post on?
OR -- If you really feel the need to feature something because you honestly think it is wonderful even if everyone else is blogging it -- show us a different take on the product. Add some new accessories; take photos in a new spot; be WILD; and let us know about it? Whatever. Honestly? Seeing ten avatars in the same from-the-box outfit in a studio backdrop on the feeds is simply boring. I know you guys can do more. Be true to yourself. Show us your STYLE!!!!!!
There are tons of wonderful things out there to blog about. We don't need to show the very same things over and over.
OK. Diatribe over. Chic out.
PS. Thanks for all the lovely notecards about my last post. I really do appreciate it and I am happy to read your thoughts even if you don't want to go public *wink*.
PPS: Great things are happening in the fashion bloggers group. Join and check us out!
PPPS: Busy. I will try HARD to post "pretty pictures" tomorrow.
Blogger power! We have it. Let's use it wisely.

That is why I always check the feeds before blogging about something that I received on SL.
For example, the TRUTH dress group gift was very beautiful but I just knew that 9357448302 other people will blog about the same thing so I refrained from blogging about it.
Usually if I really like the item, I would find something different to add on the dress.
I know that no one likes old news, which is why I don't ever blog "old, overblogged" things unless I want to mix it up with something.
I think I'm being redundant here, so I'll end this post.
I am also glad that I am not the only one who feels the way that you do.
i'd love to see something from smaller not well known designers not the same names all over again who already have lots of advertisement and exposure.
Firstly, while I love reading all the different blogs, seeing what all the different bloggers have found, nothing bores me more than seeing the same hair, the same clothes, the same skin (perfect example, the latest LeLook skin) over...and over...and over...again.
There's a website I absolutely adore (nothing to do with SL) where its concept is basically..."If you love (brand X) then you'll love (brand Y)"; it gives shoppers exposure to new products in the same "style" or fashion. I would really love for someone to come up with something like this for a blog post!
