I agree. I'm not a fashion blogger, but I know what you mean. (I just chuckled at the thought of me...blogging about fashion. Scary thought.) Anyway. Followers are fun. They make you feel good. But the content is what matters. What you put out there and how you feel about it. And I'd rather have 1 sweet comment about something I said than 1000 followers who don't really care.
ReplyDeleteBut on a completely opposite note...if I ever get famous (before you do), you're going to be on my team of stylists. Just fyi.
great post...always nice to have BOTH the followers and awesome content though :P usually if you have so many followers its because you have worthwhile content...or been in the blogging game for a decade, whichever
ReplyDeleteUm, so hi. You've been kissed. Yep, I said it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd AMEN, sistah!
Well said! Totally was thinking about how the fashion blogging community is like high school the other day...but definitely didn't think of Never Been Kissed. You win.
ReplyDeleteIt is true, I agree... I shouldn't measure my six month to their decades! Thanks for reading!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faye! You're so cute, you should throw in some outfit posts... Agreed 100%.
ReplyDeleteLet's just get famous together, it's really easy these days. So are we going to Jersey or starting a new trend of Teen Dads?
You're my rockstar. I was nervous that it might be misconstrued but I'm digging the feedback so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, my dearest fashion momma!!!
This is one of my favorite movies, I quote it ALL THE TIME! In fact, I had to keep myself from quoting it more in the post, because it just would have been lost on most people!
ReplyDeleteIt is easy these days...hmm. No to Jersey. Teen Dads? There are some cute freshman boys running around campus these days...
ReplyDeleteI might just get famous by association. I'm halfway there. With my semi-lebrity bachelor friends and my Ingram Hill boys. I'll bring you along, too.
Maybe one day when I wear a cute outfit, I'll snap a pic and you can have me guest post. My followers would laugh at me if I tried to talk fashion!
AMEN! So true! Now if only we could get ourselves noticed by some of the big bloggers and convince them that we're cool..

Now, I know we ARE cool... so are we gonna make shirts or dancing videos??? :)
ReplyDeleteI will have to tag along and cling to your semi-fame, whilst spending my days shopping. THE LIFE!
ReplyDeleteYES! Blogging is just like high school but with a bunch of girls that dress really well...
ReplyDeleteI know that a lot of bloggers are about numbers and free stuff but I think at that point it's no longer fun.
I just found your blog on EBEW and I'm really enjoying what you got going on;)

Amen!!! What a great analogy and so true. I couldn't agree more with his post. :D

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lidi! It came from my heart, I enjoyed writing a more meaty post! Haha! Thanks for reading!
ReplyDeletehaha Love this, Bekah! I'm really going to have to watch this movie again... I've got the itch now!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to be apart of this community in any capacity! And getting to know people like you and reading about your life is what I enjoy most! (Next to talk about myself, of course) haha Kidding.
Thanks for following!

There are days when blogging can feel clique-ish and discouraging but the good outweighs the bad - esp all the great people you "meet"!
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspirational post!

Thanks Sabrina! And I agree with you wholeheartedly, I love to stalk people, but I enjoy talking about myself just as much :) :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way to put it. I definitely agree, girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Monique! I have been wanting to share it with y'all for a while now! I'm happy it's getting some good feedback :) Thanks for reading everyday!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE your blog!! Thanks sooo much for your absolutely lovely and amazing comment on my site :) You don't know how much it means to me. Now I want to re-watch Never Been Kissed, I saw it some years ago and don't remember much of it :P I agree a lot with what you write especially the bit about being true to who you are. It works wonders not only in blogging, but in life xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful post!!! we all need to hear this, because sometimes you can get lost in trying to be "popular". Thanks for visiting my site! I really enjoyed your comment and writing :)

you had me at rom com, and then never been kissed (LOVE!!) but really adore the message of your post. it's so true. and as much as it would be cool to be popular, i really am just eager to connect with more women instead of the notion of raking in the so-called friends, but I love where I'm at, where I've met women and have found fulfillment from this bloggie world. great to have met you!
ReplyDeletePS: love your newer post with your hot target gear. :)

No way you are amazing! I loved that post you wrote! BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteYou should watch Never Been Kissed, sooooo good!
Thanks for commenting, can't wait to read more of your posts!
HAHAHAHA! Alyson, this made me laugh! You write straight to my heart! Thanks tons little lady!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post. You hit the nail on the head by identifying the blogosphere as a larger, more diverse high school. At times it can seem like a popularity contest and yeah, just a simple nod from the right person at the right time can get you closer to the in-crowd... but where does that really get you? I went to several different high schools and at some I ate with the cheerleaders, at others I ate with the nerds, and in my experience, it was just as fun and fulfilling sitting with a small group of "nobodies" (you know what I mean) and having real, intimate conversations as it was sitting with the cool kids. I love the bloggers I read /follow who don't have HUGE followings because I know that there is a stronger chance that they are reading my comments, smiling about them and commenting back. Commenting on the big blogs is like being a fan; commenting on a small one is like being a friend. And I'd rather have a few good friends than a few thousand distant fans.
ReplyDeleteIm not Josie Grossie anymore!! hahahah love it.
ps, sorry I wrote a book.
Thanks Tiffany! Popularity contest = definitely.. but I think the good outweighs the bad so far!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE my relationships with healthy, but not an insane amount of followers. I guess that in life, and the blogging world, we are most attracted to people like us!!! :)
