The blogger, a helpless creature yet so graceful and persistent. “Nobody cares about the blogger”, the blogger always assumes. However the blogger is the trendsetter, is the imitated and the most feared. The blogger has been fooled into believing that he/she has no power over public opinion. The blogger is merely a tool for big marketing and PR companies to use for research. “The bloggers are going crazy”, they say. What is tagging for? Has the blogger never thought of that? Why are there trending topics on twitter? What are they for? What happens when you search something in google? What is a data bank? All of those things are used against us to mould and shape public opinion. Firms pay internet sites millions to tell them how many times their name has been mentioned, if it is increasing and who is talking about them. All of this data is used without our knowledge under the guise of “social media”. Then you have the “Lifestyle Brands” and independent “forums”. The ones who made it out of .blogspot or.tumblr and into .com . They turn their noses up at us and say, “its just a blog we have a website”. They are the bottom feeders, they all follow us carefully but not as thoroughly as twitter do or tumblr or google. Even if they are half steppers in this game, they still play a part. None of them are unbiased they give in to the industry and feature whoever will pay. Then they shun the blogger and blackball them for speaking the truth, sometimes this is out of pure jealousy. The blogger does it out of pure love and interest. The blogger is a force to reckon with whether he/she believes it or not. That is why we have created #UNITEDFASHIONBLOGGER . It is an international trending topic created by @clotheslineup (UK) and @NICH0LAY (US), where fashion bloggers and followers can network and regain their power. And claim back the credit that is due to them for setting trends. We hope to start a whole movement and take it off twitter one day to keep our intellectual property for ourselves. For us By us, #UNITEDFASHIONBLOGGER is the portal that will give us back our integrity and create a platform for Fashion Bloggers to shine. Join the movement #UNITEDFASHIONBLOGGER become an official member by writing it into your twitter bio and begin networking and step into the arena of autonomy. We will all unite and regain trend. Nobody noticed us, nobody cared but the bigger we get the more we are taking back. Written by: UK Street Wear Critic and Co Founder of #UNITEDFASHIONBLOGGER Victor Von Clothschild

"The analogy of color is an interesting way to think about [character]. Most of us think that colors are very discrete things — something’s red, it’s got redness; something’s blue, it’s got blueness. But we are creating these categories. They’re not natural kinds, they’re not given in ways that represent fundamentally distinct things. Ultimately, what determines what colors we see are the frequencies of light waves entering our eyes, so it’s along a continuum. It’s kind of the same with character. Things blend. We assume that if someone is good, that we’ve characterized them as good, that’s a discrete category, they can’t be bad. And when they are, our categories shatter. That’s because we have this illusory, arbitrary idea of what vice and virtue mean."
