If there is one thing you need to know about...
….it’s that I don’t like Taylor Swift.
Okay, carry on.
Mainstream VS Countercultural

YOU ARE ONE OF THE SAME. Yeah i said it! All you people who are trying to be “different” and unique and say you have your own this and that. Cmonson thats bullshit! the reality is even if your...

Spam. I want to hurt you.
My email contacts (over a hundred of you lovelies) received an email inviting you to some shopping thing. Ignore it.
Spam is evil.
To make up for it, here is someone having fun.

Nobody's Fashionista but my own.
I don’t have a specific style. Out of all of my friends (especially Branchy and Tempsies), I am the one who has the least ideas about what to wear. That’s not to say that I’m going to end up on ‘What Not to Wear’, but I’m plain and like to try something new and nothing ultimately trendy or flashy. I have always like menswear inspired styles, how a fabric feels...

Blazin.
I’m looking for a new rack of blazers to fill my closet. I obviously love menswear-inspired looks paired with shorts, leggings. Ties and blazers. HAWT. Different and easy. P.S. Those sneakers in the second photo MUST BE MINE!!!!

K: well, if i caught a girl cheatin on me i would never be mad at the nigga less he was my brother or close friend. I tell her to get out and I shake that niggas hand and thank him. retaliating on the male is a territorial concept that is deeply rooted in respect and space and expressing anger physically without harming the woman. When he knocked that shit over on me, I was pissed but i let it go. I just stayed on the ride cuz i luv her and its her homecoming and im not ignorant
Me: Well, I am ignorant, and I would have laid the smackdown.

Hats off.
In a fit of rage against the machine that is society, I cut my hair. I’d cut it myself, convinced these half-ass Knoxville beauticians to cut more. I just went scissor happy because India.Arie kept saying ‘I am not my hair’!
So with no thought to style, what I wanted, liked, how it would grow out or ANYTHING, i just snipped away slowly but surely over the past six months.

Moving Moving Gone
I never really thought to be nervous until now.
Lordie Lord.
I’m moving. To a college I’ve never even SEEN before. To a town I’ve never been in. In a part of the country I’ve never set foot in. Hundreds of miles away from anyone I know. Alone.
I’m “adventurous” but I also have the tendency to be quite bitchass. So I hope that I get there and meet an...

A Hard Blog is Good to Find: my tops
They will not let you down:
Political Irony - If you want to learn about politics but shits boring to you, go to this site. Get the facts in joke form. Good for the liberal minded, but it’s pretty fair.

I don’t have a perm, never got one, and I honestly don’t think they’re necessary with all the new technology and styles with natural hair. INSERT this here blog. I love the look of braidouts, twistouts, knotouts, it has great tutorials. Loves it! I mean, sorry, not all black women can have the f***ed up weave a la BigChin Nat and Kendra from Bad Girls Club. Work with what you...

I love when we makeup
Bold lips are gonna stay trending throughout 2010, so women might as well get used to it. I’ve noticed that men HATE lipstick in general and so other than celebrities and “ostentatious” women such as myself, women tend to shy away from looks that don’t do much to attract the opposite sex.
I tried it. And yes, men hated it. In fact, most people hated it (we have truly...

(found)Urbanized: photo collection of urban decay →
I love perusing photography blogs and seeing what I see. Found this treat last week. Photos of an abandoned urban landscape. I’m from Detroit (and obviously left that mug) so I know what decay looks like in its ugliest form. This isn’t it. Warehouses and other structures left to be taken over slowly but surely by grass and trees. I hate the outdoors but when juxtaposed against the...

K: why r u hating life?
Me: Because I never get what I want. Not only does it seem like everyone else around me is succeeding in life, but they are doing the things that IIII want to do, they are doing it better and doing it in such a haphazard way, but they still ultra succeed. Or something. I don't know.
K: u r whining.

Me: I am whining. You whine. Its what we do.
You are rich. Almost 20 dollars an hour. Lend....uh...give me some cash.
That last sentence... Attractive? Charismatic? Who is spreading these lies?
K: lol i am rich tho. i can buy charisma.

That line never gets old with me.
Every single one of my friends have a public blog.
I’m a year away from graduating with a degree in English Composition with a minor in Literature/Letters, but the only thing I have to show for it is random rambling on Facebook. Psh. I can do better. So I will….I mean, I am.
Also,
I tend to lose myself in my environment. Blogging (which...
