Heya
you!
Yes you
my dear reader.
As the blogging scene became more complicated and more
clear to me, I decided to introduce some changes into my blog. Very often I got asked to blog some initiatives, promos, shows, episodes and whatever it may happen and may be someway described and/or posted on a website/blog.
Actually at the beginning I also wrote myself that my intention was to post some life and some interesting things I found in Second Life. And there I was, when bought something from a special promo or location or fair, I was giving a couple of details about it. And when friends or designers were giving me free items to feature them in my blog, I was blogging them (always using my style, my taste and my philosophy) and giving a brief description and/or a couple of hints, links and inworld landmarks.
Now, I am also receiving some requests about blogging hunts and promos, receiving just a notecard and a picture of the prizes, not the prizes itself.
Yeah, sometimes the bloggers doesn't have the time to create outfits of everything they receive, or doen't have the right hairstyle to combine with the outfit, and are broken to buy it just for the post, or whoever knows why, and they (the bloggers) decide to just post the received pictures from the designer and some informations they found in the attached notecards.
On my hand, until now
I only posted what I could add to a styled outfit and I would always prefer to do so. I am a SL Model and I like styling and show
my way of wearing the items the designers create.
And I have to say, out of 50 posts I made until now, I think just 10 of them were made with
gifted items from desgners. And of course everytime was clothes that I styled with my own hair, skin, shoes and jewerly.
I would so love to also receive review copies of hair, shoes and jewelry, but... I don't really like go begging designers to send me stuff. Even if many friends and colleagues told me I should send away thousands notecards because "
being a blogger is a job". Well, it may be, but my SL job is still
being a SL Model, and the blog comes on the second/third place of my Second Life. For runways most of the time I have to buy poses, hair and various accessories to fit the clothes I have to model (and like 99% of the runways I am usually in, are about clothes) and then, just after the show, I will put every outfit on the blog. So, my SL job is to model. And then as a hobby-job I am also a DJ.
At the end of all, I blog, and I try to increase my posts and also try to be interesting for the readers, even if my
mission was just to show a bit of my fashion taste and be an inspiration for those who were looking for something special to wear. Or for those who just wanted to have a look of a couple of quality pictures (if the new viewers will allow me to -.-).
Anyway, the reason I am writing all this, being maybe also boring, is to explain that I kind of decided to add some
tags to my blog. And also some new
post-titles. So I will be able to do what everyone is asking me: promotion.
I was already promoting, absolutely on my own will, all the items I have in my inventory, that I bought myself because I liked them. And also I was blogging the items I received from designers that kindly gifted me. Adding some info and descriptions, featuring the link to their websites on mine, and as I could my best.
Then, as well as all the names of the brands featured in the post, you will find some words like:
*
bloggerthoughts: my blogger philosophy and reflections about blogging and about fashion in SL and RL;
*
promo: promotions, sales, hunts and whatever can be interesting for a shopping addict, not only about fashion;
*
spam: when I am writing about what happens in SL, fashion and not fashion related;
*
shows: this will be about fashion shows, especially when I will be featured there;
*
fashionista: is going to be the tag for the styled outfits.
Some posts may have more than one tag, especially the old ones.
And now let's talk about the titles.
Styled *number* is a styled outfit.
Blogging *number* is something I just want to say, as a blogger itself or just as an "avatar living in SL", discussing and talking freely.
Spam *number* is going to be a report of something that is happening, that someone asked me to blog or that I decided to blog myself and feature in my blog.
Featured *number* is something cool that I was planning to do since a while ago: I was already featuring friends on my blog, making pictures together and blogging them...well, in this posts you will just find the featured person! But for now I am not going to "hire" contributors for my blog, it is still a
"I ♡ Beccikie", so no sense to let people blog on their own just to create post-traffic, is it?
Now readers, blame on me since I let you stay so long here reading all my thoughts. Or leave comments, everything is more than welcome!
Love ♡,
Becci
