Getting Buggy

Although I do try to keep our Blog focuses 

on the fun stuff

Sometimes, things just BUG me

and I am compelled to share...

and then I wonder...

why share?

so it can BUG you, too?

Now, that just seems silly, right?

Guess I'm silly, cause here I go!

I was just perusing my newsfeed and my eye wandered down to someone's rant.

 It's not someone I follow, but someone I do follow must have "liked" it or commented on it. 

Basically, it was criticizing large, successful bloggers. 

One got the impression that the writer found them to be lacking because they hired out the work,

 or their sponsors paid for it. 

I haven't a clue who the person was speaking about

or the actual circumstances

Firstly, even when the writer has a point,

 it's virtually impossible to not come across as catty and jealous

Why not celebrate others success

and applaud them?

I think this is especially true with Bloggers

Even the mega-huge Bloggers started out with a few words on a page

they were sure no one was even reading

Who am I to fault them reaping the benefits 

of their hard work, good luck, and creativity?

But aside from that, I was left wondering,

after I read the rant and the comments...

What's so wrong with hiring someone to execute your vision

or being successful enough to have sponsors willing to foot the bill?

In any industry or business venture, there (hopefully!) comes a point 

when you are so successful, you HAVE to get help

Now, to be clear, if said Blogger(s?) claim to have done the work themselves,

that's a bit of a grey area (to me, at least)

Let's be realistic:

Do you think every famous (or even not so famous)

chef, decorator, stylist, designer

does EVERYTHING you see their name attached to?

I'm guessing not. 

I'm pretty sure Martha Stewart doesn't personally make EVERY single item

you have ever seen photographed for her books or magazine

She probably has the concept 

(the vision is the part that is hard to teach, right?)

and someone else executes her idea

(the execution of the idea can be taught, usually!)

but I wouldn't expect Martha to tell everyone all about it

(Martha is just the best example I could think of...no disrespect meant!)

so what do YOU think?

Is it completely wrong for famous Bloggers to get help to see their ideas come to fruition

or do you expect that they had help

(personally, I love to think they had help because then I, 

by way of comparison don't seem like a total slacker!)
