Blond bimbos

I’ve been following the development of Blondinbella, the 17-year old fashion blogger in Sweden, with great interest. Here’s a young girl making big money off of pictures of herself wearing various branded clothing and accessories. Yesterday’s article in the Cultural section of Svenska Dagbladet described fashion blogs as a Swedish phenomena.

In the article it says she will use her profits to purchase an apartment which is a legitimate problem facing young people in Sweden. But what struck me was her monthly allowance of 10,000 Swedish Crowns (roughly 1,700 USD) for the items she pushes on her blog.

That would have bought a lot of flannel shirts and cargo pants back in 1994.
