If not for anything else but the name, and still, I would have told you about Silk Fair, the perfect place to find guilty pleasures.
First let’s go to its origins, if you have any idea about the old trade route between East and West(if not, don’t be lazy and hit Wikipedia with Silk Road) , than Silk Fair should ring a bell. It’s the online marketplace for who ever has something to sell and works as you set it to work.
Besides the extremely fancy color search feature(yeah, you can finally see only the pink rugs, vases, blouses, perfumes) and video presentations(allows you to advertise your product in an online jingle) , Silk Fair is also a 100% free, easy to use tool that allows you set your own online shop. (hint: similar to ebay but way more lady-like oriented).
You can buy pretty much anything, as long as you have an account there (also free). Blogs and forums are an integrated part of the whole community, so you can pretty much create your own shop and stick to your own identity and values at the same time. You can write daily thoughts and product reviews, advertise to other sellers in the community, invite friends or business partners, etc. Even the link in your browser would show you yourchosenname.silkfair.com
But how about you find out the rest on your own? Happy hunting!
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.
