I normally get boutique pitches for crappy handbags. (SPAM) I have no issues with working with PR companies (from my days as an intern). You can get quality images and find out inside scoop. I think if you approach them professionally and knowledgeable then, why wouldn't they want free press? It can be nerve-racking asking them for information (again from my days as an intern) but they're generally nice people. Gilda- that happens to me often when posting comments here ;(

They have wonderful access to their clients for interviews, information, etc. I've found most to be incredibly helpful and happy to oblige requests. Thanks for the discussion; Publicists are important resources and relationships that sometimes get overlooked in the busyness of blogging. Publicists are a bloggers best friend.
