First Topic- BLOGGERS!

The internet fashion community quietly snickered when the New York Times wrote about fashion bloggers in the front row. This seemed to be news to them. This article bounced around for days and not in a cool way. It was like they had awoken from a Snow White sleep and the fashion media game had changed! In real life, there are interesting points- not that Tavi will be editor-in-chief of Vogue next week- but the ideas of immediacy and youth (freshness of eyes) vs. age (and experience and knowledge of fashion) have been questioned.
So I ask:
- will we stop reading magazines or will the big pretty pictures always compel us?
- will magazines have to continue to do their "memo" pages when we already know about this stuff (read it on the internet) and focus more on the fantasy of fashion?
- what is aimed at who? Obviously there are those who trawl the internet more frequently than others- does it matter?
- will we listen to a quirky 13 year old talk to us about fashion? I mean, what does she know? Or does she?
- what do we learn from blogs? Do we care or they for entertainment purposes only?
