Yay!!!
Okay so, I just bought the April Elle magazine. First off, props for Ralph Lauren. Black model in sophisticated clothing. Awesome. Normally, there's not a lot of black models out there, especially in stuff like Ralph Lauren or Michael Kors, the stuffy sometimes boring designers that I honestly don't get. I mean, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH KHAKI?? (My beef with Kors is such: on Project Runway he once chastised a contest for being to "safe", yet if you look at his collections, safe is what comes to mind. Shortly followed by "boring" and "Oh My GOD, ENOUGH WITH THE KHAKI ALREADY").
But yeah, black models. Yay!!
Then I saw the bright pink lipstick and congratulated myself on my fashion taste. (I own at least 3 very similar colors, I lost one, bought another, then another because I forgot I'd already gotten a replacement. But they were cheap. Like less than a dollar cheap)
Then I saw Dolce and Gabbana and was like "Oh no, they're not plaid anymore. Because my awesome http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4850150/1/Stupid_Cupid depends on D&G carrying plaid. But oh well. They're still my fave designer. Then there was the UNited Colors of Benetton. They have the best ads. Bright colors and lots of people.
In the AK (Anne Klein) insert thing, I saw gold with woven material wedges. And was like, "Fine, I'll keep my version of those." Mine happen to have gold on the heel part as well as the natural stuff and tie up my leg. They also cause injury if you totter backwards on them. I was considering ditching them, but AK has renewed my faith. Then I noticed that the cute yellow with white polka dot shoes that I have look a lot like the AK Yellow Twill Patent Flat. Only my are not patent, are peep-toe, and were about 90% less. But go me. Yay for predicting the fashion market.
On a random note, I keep seeing these model things. However, I no longer want to really be a model. I mean, not only am I short, but after the senior picture experience from hell, I realized how much I hate being pose and told to tilt my chin to the left and point my nose... yeah, not fun. Plus I take bad photos, or at least bad candid ones.
Page 158 = epic fail. AHH!!! Skeleton girl! She looks like Voldemort!!! No really, imagine a blonde, vaguely feminine emaciated Voldermort and you got this model.
I have now reached the section with actual articles. This is why I love Elle. They have really good articles. I mean the BEST anorexia article was in Elle. It was more complete than the Health text book. It was up-to-date, it talked about neurology, the feelings, how it's not just about the media and body image but something more. It was written by an anorexic woman. It was just excellent. You don't find that in Vogue.
Kelly Clarkson sucks and should not be allowed to write her own music. I hate the song My Life Would Suck Without You. No, wrong, bad. You're supposed to come up with a clever way to mean that, but not say it. And in case you're thinking, Oh you don't know how hard it is to write good songs. I do. I've written terrible songs. The difference between me and Clarkson, is that I realize this and am highly critical of my songs/poetry and release stuff accordingly. She doesn't filter. She just screams. Please, get that woman some handlers. I liked "Breakaway." "Behind These Hazel Eyes" was good. "My Life Would Suck Without You." Wtf? See the gradual decline? She needs handlers because she doesn't know any better and the invisible hand of the market is stupid teenager girls who suck and probably like Twilight. I hate Twilight. It sucks.
Zac Efron bugs me and I don't think he can act. He's essentially like most teen male actors in Hollywood now. Why it bugs me? No one could play Edward Elric without me screaming. River Phoenix as a young kid would've been perfect, but not only is he dead, but he'd be too old anyways.
Okay Efron has a bit of a man-crush on Leonardo DiCaprio. That is slightly redeeming.
Alright he can't relate to most kids. Better.
Yay Michelle Obama!!! Love her. Love her dresses. Even when I'm not crazy about them at very, they start to grow on me and then I'm like "Hmmm. I might wear that..." And the thing is, I totally could. She wears super accessible stuff. And it's semi-affordable, or would be if I wasn't a student and broke...
More black models. Yay!
Which reminds, where are the Asians? Eh?
But yes. Bright Pink Lipstick is in.
Well, I'm still reading the intelligent stuff...
But yeah, black models. Yay!!
