...But WHY

Eh, i am lazy, but i am here now...thats all that matters! 

For those who may this may be the first post they have read from me...Please remember the photos you see are REAL LIFE PEOPLE, I don't know them (so its not like i am trying to get at them or something), the events are real and so are their blunders. I say this because, when i see pictures like this... I literally have the "you have to be kidding me, this is not real" kind of look of my face. So YES, it is serious and it is REAL

This is a rhetorical question but you can answer it in your head..Have you ever been invited to a party and you say "NO"? have you thought of the reasons why you said "No"?. Let me answer my own question, i do not attend any event i don't get at least a month advance invitation  ok i lied!! maybe one week...bottom line i will not just stand up and run to an event without figuring out what to wear especially to the so-called-Red Carpet events...Mba nu! 

So this is where my problem is, these "culprits" (for lack of better words) knew they would be attending  an event, where there maybe possible photographers better yet phones with cameras yet they show up looking a hot mess and borrow the guts and audacity to strike a pose. If you look closely at the pictures, NOT one of them was a stolen shot...meaning they all looked at the camera, smiled and posed! 

I am tired of singling people out and talking about what their outfits..but i will attach some interesting pictures and i will let you be the judge of them.

I DO NOT discriminate  any body size, weight or style...everyone was "wonderfully and carefully made" but the way they have chosen to present themselves is what I am here for. 

Difference between me and the people who may have seen these pictures before is that I have decided to take the risk of calling them out...SO help me God! lol

These pictures are strictly for humor purposes, life is too serious as is! You can be a Judge from the comfort of your couch, desk, phone, bed or wherever you are reading this from...

Fashion VS Style..

My take on Fashion Vs. Style

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about fashion versus style lately…so this is what all my “thinking” has come up to..Enjoy!

when i think fashion, i often think of big business, about the hollow drive to make profits, often at the expense of human beings: the human beings that make those products in some far off country, the human beings that think they NEED to acquire those products because they feel they must be considered “current”. not to mention the toll this consumption takes on the planet, due to impact of certain production methods and pollution that results from that production and the disposal of discarded clothing and related products. not all companies and creators have this sort of impact, but there are many that do. at times, fashion is a concept or construct that seems huge, meta, a big shell, or umbrella.

i do buy things, i do follow fashion, design and style to a degree, but philosophically, i keep coming back to championing personal style. when i think “style” i think of the concept of a creative individual, implying *one* and in that i see authenticity, realness, and personality. i think of something that is completely unique, though it may be similar to other things in some manner. i think of something that is human, and small and precious.

so, some quick thoughts. nothing here is cut and dry. nothing is black and white. but even so, i feel like i want to articulate what i see as differences between the fashion industry as whole, as an industry, and the style of an individual, a person. this all comes from the fact that i have a desire to ask questions, to foster and spark a discussion. i feel i need to attempt to think about clothing, style, fashion in more than a “i want this and nothing more” sort of manner. i want to achieve moderation in my consumption and want to temper my desire for objects with intelligent consideration and thought. i’m positive i’ll add more to these thoughts over time, and i reserve the right to change my mind. i just feel the need to dump out the contents of my brain, as i am wont to do on occasion…

fashion is…letting retailers, designers, magazines and other large companies whose main aim is to profit set trends for you to follow.

style is…setting your own trends, following your own muse, influencing other people with your creativity and confidence.

fashion is…letting others do the thinking for you.

style is…thinking about everything. asking questions, taking chances. looking at oneself honestly. being fearless, being experimental within the construct of your own life and your own closet.

fashion is…something that changes seasonally, in a regimented way, driven by big business and the need to make you feel you need to acquire something new.

style is…something that evolves, matures, and changes over varied amounts of time, influenced and inspired by your age, gender, culture, nationality, geographic locale, interests, subculture, politics, religion, and a myriad of other factors.

fashion is…often mass produced, in multiples, not unique, not authentic.

style is…as individual and completely unique as the DNA that resides in each of us on this planet. no two people can look at the world, and by extension, the building blocks of their closet or wardrobe, in the same exact manner.

fashion is…strictly looking at the magazines/celebs/websites/whatever and copying a “look”.

style is…somewhat about doing it yourself, being creative (either making it yourself, or if you lack the dexterity, mixing what you do have in a creative, inspired manner). this relates to the individualism of style, as stated above.

fashion is…keeping up with the “trends” of the season. implying you are behind the curve instead of ahead of it.

style is…not giving a shit if there is a trend at all, or if so, following only those that make sense to you personally, considering the shape of your age, your body, your lifestyle, your likes and dislikes.

….This is strictly from my point of view.. i implore you to add to this any thoughts you might have.

Stay Tuned, “clothing is more than just the threads you envelop yourself in. it implies much and speaks volumes.”
