Drop it, it's dead. We drop it.

Well, I can honestly say I'm jealous of famous bloggers. They have nice clothes, and take nice pictures, and  remember every designer and every collection ever. That last part was an over-exaggeration, for anyone who didn't know. But, really! How can anyone remember all these designers, and remember so many of their collections? Do they have good memories? Do they write everything down in a notebook? I'm so confused.. They should somehow contact me and tell me their secrets. Please do it.

I really want a fish-eye camera. But actually, I think I'm just going to get an attachement for my camera. I really like to take pictures of nature.

Today, I went to go see the Kodo Drummers from Japan. They were so good! They were funny, and looked like they were having a good time. Towards the end, two of the guys came out in one of those sumo thongs and played the giant drum. Anyone who has the chance to go see the Kodo Drummers, should.
I also really liked what I was wearing.. At first I thought I was underdressed, due to my Pucca shirt, then I saw many people walk in in regular clothes, as if it were not a formal event? Or atleast semi-formal. My feelings were hurt. I was then proud I had on a nice outfit, and disappointed in anyone who didn't. Now, This is me trying to get a nice photo, but somehow failing, of my attempt-to-be-awesome outfit. It was cool, but, I don't feel good about the brands. H&M, Forever 21, Hot Topic, and Juicy Couture. Now, I do love Juicy Couture, but I mean, I don't know.. I honestly wish I was wearing something more different, like from Future Shock (which is about to close *sad face*) and the Vintage Store, and Girly Chic Boutique. God, I love Girly Chic. Anyway;

That's my brother, the one with his mouth open and jank teeth.


I guess it would be nice if you could see my shoes, but you can't, can you? No.
 I hope it's good enough. It's gonna get better.

I need someone to be sweet to me, when I am in absolutely horrible pain.

I don't hate Capitalism. In fact, I think it's good. I mean, of course Socialism is fantastic! But, I don't think America will be turning into Socialists any time soon. Think about it! Michael Moore is making movies, bashing all these rich people and Capitalism, but isn't he cashing in the checks for those movies? YES HE IS. True Capitalism is actually really nice, it's just that when the government doesn't follow it and bales out all the big name companies. Which, I guess, Michael Moore does talk about, but he just makes it seem like every rich person is out to get you. He's classist.

Is there room for one more sun?

Well, thanks to Elle.com, I'm looking at shows that were shown last week in New York Fashion Week, although I know it's not over. The first one I looked at was Christian Siriano. I'm only going to talk about the ones I really liked, or really hated so far.

Christian Siriano: So, At first I was like, "uhhh.. this is not that good." Then I started liking some of them, and as we got deeper and deeper into it, I was really loving most of the outfits. I think I really loved all of the gowns and dresses.

Araks: I can honestly say that it's not my style, what-so-ever, but something about it caught my eye. I just really loved the collection, and I don't know why! It didn't have very many outfits, though. Only 20?

Charlotte Ronsen: OHMYJESUSANDMARY. I'm about to punch myself in the face from all the excitement! Have I found my new favorite designer?! I'm not sure, but I know I really loved this whole collection! In all, there were about 3 or 4 outfits I wouldn't wear, and all the others I would jump right on the opportunity to wear! I'm in love.

Costello Tagliapietra: I really liked the bright colored striped print with the glitter. I don't know how to describe it, I'd post a picture if my computer weren't being funky. One thing I thought was kind of weird, were the furry gloves. The models' makeup and hair were odd, too. Something about them looked ugly.. and old. Just ew. but other than that, I liked a lot of it! and the picture at the end is so cute! bahhh!

Doo.Ri: I like the layers and the knits, but not much else. Are all the models supposed to have bangs? I don't like that too much. I liked most of the dresses, too.

Jenni Kayne: I really just didn't like any of it. Except maybe a sweater. It didn't flow to me,.. (the outfits, I mean). I don't know. It was just kind of dull and boring.

Jeremy Laing: It was such a smart idea on his part to make the opening outfit a dress with that handprint. It really caught my eye and made me want to like every outfit in the collection. Although I didn't, I still liked most. I never thought some things so plain would be so nice. I also liked the hair and makeup of the models. Overall, it worked together well.

Kimberly Ovitz: love.

Alberta Ferretti's Philosophy: What kind of blogger would I be if I said I thought everything was cute, yet left out the fact I acknowledged everything looked the same? Not a very good one! So there I was, looking at the first couple outfits of the collection, ready to say, "OHMYDEARGODIT'SADORABLE!" But I waited and realised, "Gee, it may all be cute, but it's pretty much the same dress in different colors and fabrics." So, now I don't know if I really appreciate it like I did before, but some of that stuff is still cute!

Prabal Gurung: Thank you for helping me prove my point that sometimes, it is ok for pink to go with red.

Rag & Bone: I like all the feminine with masculine. Ahh! So many colors and prints and layers and fabrics! It's overwhelming. but nice. I posted a link to it on my wall on Facebook and said, "Could quite possibly be one of my favorite collections from NY Fashion Week this year."

Richie Rich: Let me tell you, if I saw some girl walking down the street dressed in one of those outfits, I would have a hard time deciphering if she had style or was a hoe. Then I'd think, "Maybe she's a stylish hoe, even if she's not I can sure tell she's a well paid hooker."
Maybe it would work out if someone styled each individual garment with something a little less flashy. And I mean that for real life. The collection on the runway needs to stay the way it is. It was good.

Ruffian: Very classy.

Alright, I'll come back to blogging later but I really need to get ready for the day. It's 2:44 in the afternoon.
But before I go, I need to say one thing; When did velvet become so popular? EW.

Now you make me feel so ashamed because I've only got two hands.

I think I'm psychic when it comes to what's 'in' in fashion. REALLY! I always seem to get interested in something, like watch a movie and love the style of a certain character, then I read the Elle for that month and POW, that style is in! I belong here. I just can't seem to place my style anywhere. What am I? What will I be? There is so much I want to be and do I just don't know exactly how to categorize myself! I, personally, think that's actually a malfunction in the chemical balance in my brain. Something has gone awry if I can never, EVER, make up my mind specifically. I like to think it's because I'm open-minded, but I doubt it.

I took some black, skinny-jean pants I don't like very much and ripped them up and bleached them. I thought the bleach stains were going to be all white and whatnot, but noooo, they're red. and orange? I don't know how it'll look when it dries, to be honest. But, so far, it actually looks kind of cool. When they dry, I'll put together and outfit and take pictures! yes!

Oh, want to hear something funny that's not really funny and is actually stupid and annoying? I broke my camera. Here comes the funny/stupid part; it's because I jammed the wrong cord into it. So, I can't charge it or download any photos. Well, I CAN download photos, from the memory card. But what's going to be on the memory card if my camera's broken and I can't take pictures? Old pictures, that's what.
Here comes the happy part; My mom bought a warranty, so I think we'll go in tomorrow and I'll get either a different camera or they'll fix.

Word of advice: Label ALL of your cords.

To find home, the distance grows as the ground approaches.

So, today, I was thinking about my outfit, and how since I paired Chucks with it, instead of heels, it completely changed the mood of it. That, though, can work with any garment! It all depends, really. I was just so fixated on that! Another thing; the shoes can make or break your outfit. (once again, this applies with any garment, but I do emphasize shoes.) I tweeted that. Let me be honest with you, if I see someone with an OK dress on, but the shoes are ugly and un-appealing, your outfit is bad. If you're wearing a nice dress, with ugly shoes, it brings the outfit down. It totally makes people question your style, though. Why would you even buy those shoes in the first place? I'll tell you something, I'm not a big shoe critic. Just because I can't work those shoes, doesn't mean someone else can't! It all depends. I'm totally against clear heels, though. Just plain nasty. BUT! There are always exceptions, like for Tavi, she can take some pretty ugly stuff and make it look good, just because of her style, how she works it, and what she puts it with to create certain look. 99.99999% of the time, there are no exceptions for clear heels. end of discussion, goodnight.

America's Next Top Model starts this month! YES!
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is on right now! I would be excited, if I knew where to watch it all go down at. Someone should send me a link.
I watched the movie, The September Issue. I think Grace Coddington is now my favorite person ever. She seems so wonderful and nice and down to Earth! I know I haven't seen her whole life, and how Down-to-Earth can anyone in the fashion industry be? Just kidding! I want to be the Editor-in-chief of Elle, or maybe   Vogue. Vogue is considered the 'Fashion bible'? Well, I don't get a subscription to Vogue, nor have I ever, NOR have I ever even purchased one copy. Terrible, right? I should probably go buy the September issue, right? ;]

So, I know someone who claims to love the B52s, yet, they don't know Rock Lobster, Planet Claire, Quiche Lorraine, or Roam. I think what really got me was that they didn't know Rock Lobster. That was my jammmm.

I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up.

Well, I definetely underestimated Kristen Stewart's worthy-ness to play Joan Jett. I watched the Runaways today, or atleast most of it. I was in and out of the room doing chores and paying attention to homework, too. I really liked it, actually. At first I didn't think Dakota Fanning had it in her. She's always so innocent. I pretty much loved all of Joan's and Cherie's outfits. Except when Cherie wore those god-awful hooker outfits. I could leave those out of my wardrobe. Overall, I thought it was a nice film.

I don't really feel like writing anymore. I'm lazy. and tired. and I have homework. Ok, no more excuses. I'm just bored.


Bye.

Saturday, February 5, 2011

and this will be our best song ever.

I don't like it when all my friends leave me out of all the different plans of the day, but I like what becomes of it.
  • I catch up on putting stuff in my little Memory Book thing mabob.
  • I write down all my dreams I was too lazy to write down the days I had them
  • I draw nice stuff.
See all that? doesn't all that sound nice? Yes. I catch up on so much, and get Sydney Time. Everyone needs time to themselves to bring out themselves. Whenever you're with someone else, you have influence, and even them just being there, you may think differently. But when you're by yourself, there's no one there to be scared of (unless of course you have Schizophrenia, or can see ghosts. Then you're doomed. Or just take your goddamn medication.) But for real, looking at things, thinking, or creating by yourself makes such a difference. I really like listening to music when I'm by myself, too, because it fills empty space and makes me more comfortable. 

I've been thinking a lot, and I really don't like pop culture. I just want to do me, but so many people try to fit into pop culture, that you get judged for doing you. Get off my dick. Be your goddamn self. And some people even try to be 'different' by saying they listen to a certain band, or shop at a certain store, or dye their hair a certain color. But in the end, they're still trying to conform to something. I think you're truly different when you don't try to conform to anything. Which can be hard, I know, but some of the coolest people are the ones who were made fun of when they were younger for being themselves. I'm going to look at this later and think, I should take my own advice. I'm myself to an extent, but if I hang out with the same people too much,.. it goes downhill. I need some more Sydney time.
