Fashion writer needed for website

We mean from Department stores to Boutiques and finding the best values in the city. We are lamefashionsitethatwontpayitswriters.com the number one fashion sales website in the Metroplex.
The requirements are very simple:
1.You must be passionate about shopping
2.You have have great writing skills
3.Great Personality
4.Some fashion sense
5.Your first month is a voluntary position
If you are interested please feel free to contact us immediately.* Location: North Dallas
* it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
* Compensation: no pay
At first the requirements seem reasonable enough. Passionate about a topic, a good writer, fashion sense…oh wait…what’s this? The first month is volunteer? What an arrogant ass! Why should anyone give up time to stock this person’s website? This is what galls me about a lot of the ads on Craigslist. Webmasters and bloggers feel we should be absolutely thrilled to write for a site because they can see their name and words in print. But here’s a clue…people who are passionate about shopping need money to shop. Writing about shopping isn’t enough incentive.
Point B. If you want good, passionate writers you have a lot of nerve asking them to volunteer. Unless you’re a charity, you’re simply not worthy. If you are worthy you need to tell us why. So far I see nothing here to convince me this is a good gig.
