Is FashionIndie.com the Most Hated Blog in Fashion?

The Homeless Have Started Breeding with Humans. Hide Your Children.

So if you were reading the site on Monday (of course you were ;-)) you probably saw our post asking if we were the most hated site in fashion. You see, some writer over at Missbehave Magazine, decided to call us a bunch of overweight, undersexed writers who look like the love child of Chunk from the Goonies and that dude from Mask (I think his name was Cher).  We decided to defend ourselves, which then launched a massive comment spree on both our sites. Most people flew their Team Fashion Indie flags, her best friends flew their Team Smelly LA Trash flags, and we ended up with a pretty decent blog war.

Well, we’ve decided to be the bigger person and end this shit by not responding (yeah right).

Here’s the latest response from this quasi-internet celeb…

i suck photographers dicks not their silly camera lenses

Here’s what we had to say…

Dear [insert name of butterfaced writer here],

We’re not offended, we just get on the defense whenever some internet celebrity wannabe gets an rock hard for us and feels bashing us might be a way to get some attention.

Since you started this bash battle, we’ll be the ones to end it.

We didn’t Google you cause we knew we wouldn’t find anything, we just checked out your profile on Missbehave which had a link to your MySpace. But for future reference, when you are in journalism it’s a smart thing to do a little research before you write something. We decided to do this before we went after you, we found your myspace and listed 18 as your age cause we assumed you wouldn’t be the type to lie about something like that since most 18 year olds aren’t taken seriously by publishers and magazines. We were wrong.

You didn’t just say our site had a mean undertone. You didn’t just write it on your personal site, to your tiny group of devotees. You wrote it on Missbehave’s site, which probably doesn’t get too much traffic, but still, it’s not exactly good press for our company. You even had to give your post it’s own tag category, “Dumb Websites”. (though I’m sure all future posts in this category will be toned down, you can’t go around calling a website’s writers underfucked, fatties with anger issues without getting a couple letters from lawyers).

Obviously, you put a lot of thought into your post and considering it’s the longest article you’ve ever written for the site, I’m sure you really wanted it to be your Pulitzer piece which means you probably knew we’d retaliate.

We’re not some massive company, we’re just a small band of fashion people with a passion for indie fashion. Most of our posts are focussed around new designers, photoshoots, models and industry news. Usually, only a handful are “Opinion” pieces in which our writers get a chance to rant about whatever they have on their minds. We always encourage our readers to bash us back or tell us we’re assholes or say that we don’t know what we’re talking about, it opens up conversations and gets people involved in what we’re saying. We love it so much we usually feature our favorite hate mail.

We’re a pretty tight knit group of writers here at Fashion Indie. We might not be the best, we might not have taken Fashion Writing 101, we might forget to spell check from time to time or might misuse a “there/their/or they’re” (we’re working on that one), but attack one of us and you attack all of us. Which means your bash on Fashion Indie affects all ten of our writers and, as President, that pisses me off especially.

I will always do my utmost defend our writers.

They work really hard and write some of the most original articles the online fashion world has to offer. They might not be Vogue-worthy in the eyes of an elitist like you, but we love them and will always feature anything they have to say.

If you have a problem with our site then don’t read it. But don’t make it your mission to talk shit about us if you aren’t prepared to have shit talked about you. The lawsuit talk was a joke, you’re not actually stupid enough to think we were being serious? Please, do you think our lawyers want to be bothered whenever some failed writer decides to bash us?

Oh and thanks for admitting to sucking on photographers dicks, really classy.

Basically Sarah, go fuck yourself.

PS. We’ll probably see you tonight at Supreme Trading. We’ll be the group of people in corner flinging lime slices at your head and booing whenever they hand you the mike. Why they would choose such a loser to judge a beauty pageant is beyond me, but I guess stranger things have happened in fashion.

Hugs and Disses,

Daniel Saynt
