First of all,
A super talented photographer who can see business sense in publishing an amazing blog and creating something that is super marketable to photographers (and yes, useful too) is nothing short of being a genius... far from idiot!! Give me a break guys!!
Jessica is one of the most successful photographers out there people... she charges like 10k a wedding and people fly her all over the world to shoot their events. She's also one of the most down to earth genuine people I know... and has tons of ideas (one of them being shootsac). She's a natural at what she does and people admire her for that. Because her blog is SOOOOO huge (in the top 100k ratings on technorati) she has a ton of exposure to other photographers, and rightly so because her work is awesome. Wouldn't YOU capititalize on that to the best of your ability? Of course you would!
She's marketing to SUCCESSFUL photographers (from what I can tell), who in case you haven't worked with any, have a very keen sense of style, usually wear designer clothes, etc. This bag will work perfectly for them, plus she saw a need for a small shoulder bag and decided to make on. I don't know anything about photographers equipment, but I would totally dig a small bag that's easy to put equipment in that I can retrieve easily, AND is stylish. Right on!
Don't go bashing someone who has great business sense and is doing a great job following her instincts. At least she's not constantly complaining about how she doesn't have enough business and can't charge what she wants.
Pleeez.

. At least we are still good enough to buy someone's seminar add-ons 
It might have been Jessica Strickland - there's another one who thinks red skin and blown out whites is "cool" - and she sells ps actions to do it! 
. I think that whole clique need to be locked in the same room as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan. I mean, what sort of pro photog has red-eye snaps on his blog
