At some point in every one's life, I believe there to be time when their number one priority is work. From what I have come to find, exactly when or for how long this
"stage" lasts is unique to each individual. However, when it comes
to blogging, it sounds like nothing ever seems to slow down. Is it possible
that by becoming a blogger, you are essentially a slave to this medium for as
long as you both shall live? It's no secret that blogging is demanding, there
is a huge commitment of time and effort if you want to make it big in this
online realm. Constantly checking and updating its content is what keeps a blog
alive.
This fast paced trend we see with blogging
parallels with the ins and outs of the fashion world. In this world, trends and
fashion movements are constantly fed and nurtured with attention. Essentially, this is how we create blog posts, with tons of love and affection. A place where these two combine into
one is when someone holds the title as a "fashion blogger", or as I’d
like to call it, a modernized “victim” of slave labor.
Leandra Medine, creator of Man Repeller, is a fashion blogger whose life is now synonymous with slaving
to a digital medium. During her college years, what began as a place to fire
out her thoughts on all things fashion, dating and quirky daily struggles is
now a full time job. There is no other medium involving writing that is more
fast paced and creatively informal than a blog. Medine has created a brand that
does not involve a line of clothing or handbag collection but rather a brand
that is comprised with her "stream of consciousness thoughts".
Online communities have existed for many
years, so what makes blogging so different. From the fast paced environment and
freedom of speech, a blog has the ability to transform your thoughts into
conversations that matter.
