Trash - Dressing!

I wandered onto the pages of InStyle.com for fun and leisure. As an avid consumer, I believe I should actually visit my most beloved places and educate myself about what this amazing planet has to offer. The magazine itself motivated me to go online and peruse the site. I read about various celebrities and felt led to investigate products that I may have never considered before. The May issue was so splendid, and I felt like buying everything I was belaboring.

I used the fun tools to redo hairstyles of more famous celebrities... that I haven't even met before. (I felt guilty, like it was some sort of sacrilege.)

So, far my luck has been meeting future stars and rising talent in many fields to come. And here, I was going to change my name to "Only Yesterday."

And so, I began to think of shows and magazines that pointed out stars
or starlets who weren't totally into the style department of the fashion world. People were either gagging themself over Gaga's new outfit or becoming scandalized over Snookie's fashion failings. InStyle actually has a feature where you can vote for the best style, and that is then voted upon statistically. Today, my choice, Scarlett, came in second to Kate Hudson, if I remember correctly.

I am mostly an observer or a listener. I began to rediscover something that I had nearly forgotten in highschool. True, people had a right to their opinions, and since I had a soft-spot for new stars, I didn't want them to attack the girls who dressed poorly. Each person has his or her unique sense of style, and why should I join in this virtual lottery of hurling stones upon Gaga and Snookie for doing the unthinkable --- dressing as they felt like dressing?!

Then I calmed myself down. I knew that people identified with certain types of dressers and fashion, and coming against certain stars did manage to establish something at least to consumers, if not fashion experts. If you are really watching and listening, people are always communicating their fashion needs. They are establishing what they like and do not like.

In fact, we need to know what we do not like in order to figure out what we do like and need in the fashion industry.

So, more power to Lady Gaga and Snookie! Dress how you feel!!!

I am not going to champion you after all and join in against these fashion-bullies of
new starlets or start a facebook page or anything. I am going to ignore the comments and simply listen. You do learn a lot.

I just hope Gaga and Snookie and other stalwart souls muddle through the latest on the trash - dressing phase. Didn't we also rip on Madonna, once, not too long ago?

Creativity reigns, even when people think someone is dressing poorly.

So, fashion writers, don't be disheartened!

One bad dress is another future successful venture, I assure you.

NYLON TV/Beauty Bloggers!

You Tube enthusiasts can view fashion and beauty tips online.
Comments are usually not by professionals in the industry, so be
forewarned! The comments, although brutal, put a perspective on
issues out there. To rip on the speakers themselves, not a plus here!

Media Blitz on the Khans!

Lately, whatever publication I pick up seems to be courting the Khans,
which is wonderful, because fashion bloggers can find more material to cover.

I especially enjoyed the short and sweet article in the 2010 Spring/Summer issue of "Town & Country." (Weddings)

Here's another one I found on the web, "The Huffington Post."(2009)
Click on the tabs and arrows to see which celebrities have worn his designs.

There were countless other publications, and when the pages fell open, it
was always about Naeem Khan. I guess I have a novel way of figuring out
what I am going to write about next on this blog.

You can also access his site on the internet.

www.naeemkhan.com

Right now, I am going to read about Naeem in the page that fell open yesterday in the "Travel & Leisure" issue. (March 2010)

I am not kidding!

Okay, ciao!
