TRANSPARENCY IN FASHION

Celebrity Trollop's Second Style Fashionista is a digital cascade of SL fashion and accessory reviews, boasting all manner of delectable wearables for the discerning avatar.  She selects and blogs it up at such a furious clip, I've often wondered how much of the stuff she came across in-world, and how much of it was slipped into her hands by friends and self-promoting designers.  Evidently I wasn't the only one wondering, because Ms. Trollop just posted her ethics of SL fashion reporting:

I've decided that when I feature items here in the future, I will always include a few pieces of information in the interest of full disclosure and transparency to my readers...

Easily more upfront and transparent than most real world fashion editors, one suspects.

I got tired of the oblique snarky comments about how trustworthy I am as commentator on fashion. So I decided to let people make up their own minds -- form their own opinions if I feature too many outfits I get for free or from friends.

I don't know how many readers really care about it much, but the negative comments weigh on me, so I thought it was time to put up or shut up about it.

It seems like a good idea, unless, like me, you have peoples cards from past chance meetings, or projects, then it looks like you are blogging your friends, if even in reality, you have a persons card, but talk to them like once a month or less.

Negative comments suck, for sure, I am more sensitive than most or at least the one that shows it the most, but people are going to think what they think, ain't no changing some minds!
