“I have gotten screamed at, cursed at, called a gatecrasher, called a child, and shooed away from legitimate interviews I have secured in good faith and the desire to highlight designers and fashion professionals.”
When Coutorture Media becomes a big-wig in online media, these people will be sorry that they treated her this way. One day they’ll be begging her for an interview…I commend Julie for being a trooper and going out to take on these people who snub her. I also applaud all the pioneering fashion bloggers out there! But like previous pioneers in other industries, we must keep fighting...
I am a journalist in RL, and a sports one to add. I have had so many nasty experiences while getting interviews that I could write about it for days. Some guys think you can't write about sports if you're a girl, and this is really funny, because I could swear I knew a bigger part of it better then they ever will.
The only thing to do is to have attitude. I never gave them any sign they have hurt my feelings, but did get even in my writings: you can easily portray someone as an idiot without using any nasty words.
