Just found your blog, love it. I was invited to this and went in the afternoon session. I thought it was pretty cool too - the goody bag was ridiculous (not complaining - well I am a bit because I then took on an 60 minute walk though Central London - the pain still gives me chills now). I reviewed it here - http://www.cosmetic-candy.com/?p=5124 I didn't know you left Shiny! Hi Gemma!

It does sound good, though, and I totally agree about the way some PRs/brands talk down to bloggers. I once had an email from a PR who actually said that because the budget was small, they'd decided to "just" target some blogs, and "if nothing else" maybe my little friends might be interested if I wrote about the whatever-it-was on my "journal". OK, so they didn't say "little friends", but the attitude was so clearly, "we're having to make do with you because we don't think REAL media outlets will be interested". Naturally, the email was filed straight under "Deleted Items". It's annoying, because actually, I think the vast majority of the pro-bloggers I know are "real" journalists, with lots of experience.
