I know that my readers trust my opinion so it's helpful to have a mix of the good and of the bad. If I only ever post glowing reviews, how can they trust me?

Equally people seem to find them fascinating. I had a gd old rant about bad customer service at a bakery in NYC more to get it off my chest than anything – I had more comments than I knew what to do with AND the piece was retweted and linked all over the place. (A lot of blogs were using it as an example of how you shld always watch customer service)

Mind you bad ones also useful persaonllyl: ToyWatch got in touch and are placing my watch, so all win as far as I am concerned! Thanks for linking to me! LLGxx

First, re: Gap, I was really angry when Old Navy did that as well. I went over night from an L to a XXL and I was like, "EFF YOU OLD NAVY!"

I try to be honest and fair in all of my reviews, and make sure to list everything I can think of: whether it's bunching around the hips on a dress B&Lu sends me, to being annoyed a grey matte nail polish that promises 10 days lasted 2 before chipping. I hope that people recognize that, and that I don't expect perfection out of any product… but I do expect it to the be the best that it can be. And if it's not, I don't have a problem sharing that.

honesty is the only policy as far as I am concerned…we need to know the good and the bad otherwise we are not making informed decisions!

LOL – i don't think i would post just random dislikes here and there, i only post negatives if they're \”rants\” (i'm really disappointed) or if i think there are enough people out there who would be interested…

I've been told I'm a half glass empty kinda girl so, I tend to not comment at all when I don't have something nice to say because it only fuels my fire. I do have to admit, I like reading more about stuff you like b/c I have so little time to spend on dislikes. Keep up what you are doing. I'll always read you:) even if it is negative – well, unless it's about me! LOL!

…well one of the ways we learn about the world is through the critiquing of it, of this there is no doubt. But I do tend to stay away from sites that have made a game of being so right, that all other sites are mostly wrong…Cuz I also learn about the world from listening to others praise about the virtues of it…

Good Post, found you on Twitter…

Dude, I had a BAD time with the new 1969 jeans… and I just didn't want to give them any more press. I posted a little information about what they did, but that's it.

It did, however, eat me up inside that the WSJ article I was in was ALL about them. Ugh.
