Misuse of Review Copies

Darlings, Swirly is sorry to have to bring this up, but she has noticed a disturbing trend towards the misuse of review copies by certain Second Life designers. That's right dears, not bloggers, DESIGNERS. Certain designers are failing to distribute review copies to those who are best placed to promote their products, ie. SWIRLY. And Swirly has it on good authority that other, lesser bloggers are receiving these review copies!

As you are aware, Swirly has a policy of not asking for review copies. This is because she shouldn't have to. A blogger, no, CELEBRITY of Swirly's calibre has the right to expect that the good things in life should be handed to her on a silver platter, and these good things naturally include review copies, lots of them. Swirly has had to degrade herself by HINTING that she should receive review copies (yes Ginny dear, this is directed at YOU). Worse yet, she has had to spend her OWN lindens to buy things to review for Fashion Victim! Frankly darlings, it STINKS.

Swirly has compiled a short list of offending designers, the list is not comprehensive but includes some BIG names, people who have abused their privilege as designers by failing to send Swirly all of their new things to review. Swirly can only hope that by publicly shaming them here on Fashion Victim, these designers will cease their disgusting misuse of review copies.
