Screencap from Fashion Bloggers Why?
As my "Midlife Crisis" post a couple of days ago may have suggested, I'm not exactly a born fashion blogger, and the world of fashion isn't exactly one that I have all that much sympathy with - and so when I stumbled across the blog Fashion Bloggers Why? recently, I have to confess that I was almost looking forward to a little bit of a giggle.
That is, until I started reading the posts.
I think that it's only fair that someone from "this side" of the war (even someone as dubious as me) has a chance to argue our case before this blog gets out of hand, and overly offensive. I have to confess that I'm not the kind of person who enjoys reading High Fashion blogs like the ones featured in Fashion Blogs Why? - which include some of the most popular blogs on the internet, such as Sea of Shoes and Style Rookie - but these blogs' own popularity must, in some way, merit them the right to post what they post? They wouldn't be this popular if people weren't interested in what they had to say, surely?
Although, in some ways, I think Fashion Bloggers Why? may have a point (it isn't exactly 'dressing down' when you're wearing Chanel), I do think that it is atrocious that the girl behind this blog seems to see herself on a pedestal when she can make comments like this:
"Dear imbecile: Anyone who freakes out about things like soo turquoise nailpolish they buy at the Hamptons is a pretentious asshole. Really? Your greatest concern is nailpolish? Fuck you. Why don’t you freak out about the fact that you look like Big Bird in that outfit?"
- Apparently without any guilt!
And so, I left a comment on one of her posts, in return (it seemed only fair!) - and, oh, look. Comment Moderation. Does that suggest to anyone else that this blogger may have received some unwelcome criticism in the past, as well?

Now, I don't want any of my readers to think for one second that I am posting this blog in order to incite hatred against Fashion Bloggers Why? - because I'm not; not least because that would involve stooping to the levels this blogger stoops to.
I don't agree with what this blog is doing - but nor do I agree with all fashion bloggers.
What I do think, on this matter, is that it's only fair that we get fair warning.
What do you think?

PS - if Nati Hell, of Fashion Bloggers Why?, stumbles across this post, rest assured, I spell-checked it.








I completely agree with you! The reason I don't read most fashion blogs is because they are either out of my range of reality,but who has the right to have a blog devoted to criticizing them? Not cool.
