We just love your cutting edge, you're a real fashionista! and know your readers are just going to love our latest pink pony product!" <BR/><BR/>I used to tell them that I don't even wear matching socks (socks that match each other, much less my outfit) but it doesn't slow them any. <BR/><BR/>A lot of the pink pony blogs love this stuff, eat it up. It makes them hip to be in the know for their readers. And no, they don't pay but they do give out freebies. The thing is, I don't even want the items, free or not. If I like something enough to write about it, I'll buy it or at least it'll be something I covet. Most of those things aren't exactly popular since most of those items require three phase power. Or a six figure outlay (I still want that automated leather cutter from gerber). <BR/><BR/>To deal with all the pushers, I wrote an entry called "how to pitch me" and send them the link. However, I will do product announcements for "my" designers, putting those in my weekly "news from you" column.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
