I will bump a product I've wanted for a while if your review is really good.
Oh yeah. Reviews are super helpful for me.

I just want to say - as a reviewer and as a reader - that I think we need to remember how many people we can touch one way or the other with our reviews.

I know that with our personal store here on Eden, I'm basing a lot of things (items in the store - but also our monthly sale) on items that have outstanding reviews and I am going to be trying to link to those reviews so folks can read them.

I think its easy to just want to get the review written and done with and forget that someone may make a decision for or against a product based on what we said.

I would love to do lingerie but am not totally sure which would work for a bigger girl. I haven't seen much that I liked.

I have a very hourglass shape so I figured it might work awesome on me, and had to snatch it up. I was surprised no one requested it already. I think the undies will fit well but Im worried Ill have to much boob for the bra. Im hoping for the best though.

And I'm a big follower of you, too! Aww (though I'm behind reading right now because I've been mentoring so hard!) Always read all the reviews that are nominated in the rumble---they're always very good to learn from.

I think the biggest part for me was just finding my own style. Having some good mentors along the way helped too.

When you do a store, you can do sales??? I was thinking of doing a store but wasn't sure how to go about it.

I think pix should be required for lingerie reviews...but that's just me.

Because lingerie is cut different and 100 women will frame it 100 different ways, it really helps to see it off a model or mannequin.

too much boob is rarely a bad thing... what i'm saying is.. i'd take some extra boob if you want to spare some!

I am not entirely sure how comfortable I would be showing pics, its something to think about.

Ive seen a trend of people sticking the outfit on pillows and other things, which drives me nuts. You cant tell what it fits like on a pillow or whatever object. Id rather not see the picture if I had to choose between that or nothing.

Fine - but when you see my pics (which won't show my face) - if I suspect you snickered at my body shape and size - I'm gonna reach through the computer - somehow - and smack you!

I think pics would be helpful, me being a size 14/16 in clothes I find it hard to find lingerie that fits well. The corsets are very pretty, but I think I have too much up top for most of them.

and do people actually sell and get revenue from their stores? i see alot of them but
a) didnt want to set up a W2 and tax forms... i loathe government. and filling out forms.

and b) didn't think i could actually sell anything via the store. wouldn't it mostly just be useful if you have a blog?

I would never ever ever laugh at you. All women are beautiful. My ideal women has a Frank Frazetta painting girl body. Curvy, and natural.

I was really happy with the solution I figured out, of wearing the lingerie over some contrasting colored spandex. Then I didn't actually have to show any "skin" on the internet, but was still able to show the cut.
