Blogs have been around for a long time.
I love to read blogs, I enjoy their conversational tone, the product reviews, and in some blogs, it's like getting to read a copy of US Weekly at your own leisure, instead of having to squeeze in all the interesting articles at the supermarket checkout line. The fashion blogs that I read can be about anything - mainstream fashion, celebrity style(time to zone out!), indie designers, asian fashion, as long as they are written with sincerity and wit -without which, I just don't return to that blog anymore
There are a lot of TFSers who have their own blog, and personally, I find breathoxygen's (pictorial) blog extremely interesting. To add on, some more blogs that I read which belongs to TFSers includes kimair's, rhiannonmars and yes, closettherapy as well.
I admit that I was inspired by closettherapy's blog, which led me to set up my own. It takes effort to maintain one and after the initial euphoria wears off, what else is there to keep on going? There are times when I feel drained, epecially since, I maintain my blog in my spare time and sometimes my job can take a lot out of me. Speaking from personal experience, there are times when I would feel inspired and come up with an opinionated article on general fashion trends, or times when I feel "lazy" and just write a review on popular clothing/makeup items/websites which I own.
Forums, like TFS, have their own unique role to play in the internet, they function as social information exchange networks where there is a huge emphasis on interaction. I believe in posting on a forum with diplomacy and maturity, due to the varied backgrounds that all our members come from, especially from such an encompassing forum like TFS.
I believe that two forms of media are not mutually exclusive.
Instead they serve to complement each other.
Forums - for the exchange of information and views which will eventually evolve or affect your own view on the thread topic.
Blogs, for an unadultered, undiluted view on the article topic. At prima facie, blogs probably fulfill our need for attention and to be heard in cyberspace. It provides you with an exclusive domain all your own, to write/do whatever you want.
Phew, now this was a pretty long post. I hope I made sense
who could it be?
