My Handbag Review, Didnt Realize It Had Been Published...

slidegirlcass · Apr 28th, 2008, 05:14 PM

So some may remember I was working on doing some handbag reviews for a website with help from some designers. Unfortunately despite several designers getting on board, the editor became a problem yet again and I just didn't and don't have the patience or time to deal with her. By the time I was ready to be finished with her I had already sent in a revised draft (set to be a SAMPLE ONLY) of my Morgan Oakley Ditch review. I found out today from a friend that it had actually been published on the website without my consent. I agreed to do these for free, so theres not much to gain by complaining about it, she did credit it to me after all. I just thought I would share because despite having to cut the word count in HALF, I still think it came out pretty well. Just be advised, that corny last sentence as well as most of the exclamation points were added by the editor, not me.

Heres the link:

Great Review! As a busy Mom I appreciated the kid durability test, nice overall description as well. Thank you for sharing.

Nice job SGC! Side note: don't you just love it when editors chop your
piece?

Good for you!

So as a courtesy I sent the link on to the woman who handles MO's publicity (we exchanged a few emails before the article was published) and now I might get an early peek at the fall line! So exciting, then I can drool over the black Jettison in person!

nice review!! that's so cool that u were able to get something published.

just a warning though to everyone visiting the site..the links at the bottom of the page (where it says "shop handbags" and also the "handbags" button) are all links to sites that sell *fake* items. (an LV speedy for $145? I don't think so...)

Excellent article

nyt, haha i wish but thanks! also, i know those shopping links are bogus...unfortunately they are more interested in ad revenue than anything else. the shopping links take you out to pricegrabber or something. if anyone out there runs fashion website and wants to publish my rreviews i am available!
