Style Evolving

So I recently read this brief article, and while at times I like to think I have my own "unique" "style," I think it makes sense to change it up according to who I'm with (or who I'm dating, in this case).

Because it's pretty natural to want to blend in with the group and dress accordingly. Not to perpetuate stereotypes, but last semester I had a computer science class right before an English class, and what my classmates wore were pretty different between the two (way more girls in English, for one).

And to address the couple transformation: guys are such good accessories for girls to have on their arm... wouldn't you want to kind of coordinate and match and look awesome together?

Example: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the ultimate power couple. Looking fierce in black.

I'm not saying to be matchy-matchy (I mean you Stephanie... just kidding), but don't be so outlandishly different that you don't look good walking around together. I think you can fit in, but you can also stand out while doing so?

(but this does not mean going sweats and pajamas during finals season - ugh)

Eminem vs. Pitbull

So a while ago I posted about Eminem's new song We Made You, and the awesome video that went along with it. There is also a series of "Making Of" videos on YouTube, so you can see how much work went into it.


They have like 4-5 different sets/scenes, with a pretty big cast, one that includes Dr.Dre (legend) Even with so many complicated plots/themes, the whole shooting takes two days.

On the other hand, Pitbull, another rapper, currently has the #16 spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with his song "I Know You Want Me." Now, I have nothing against Pitbull. Since I'm not a music snob, I admit that his songs are pretty catchy. But here is his "Behind the Scenes" of his music video:


After watching the first eight seconds you'll get the basic idea for the rest of it, and also Part 2. Basically Pitbull is in a nice suit and sunglasses, kind of moving his body from side to side, while a hot girl slinks around him. What a tool.

Hmm this sounds familiar - oh yea, that's what he has been doing for all his music videos! Suit+sunglasses+hot girls. While Eminem is practicing his dance moves and getting in and out of crazy costumes, Pitbull can't even do a simple two-step. He lets all the girls do the dancing instead. This is why Eminem is way more awesome.

Okay so after all that hard work Pitbull does standing around, this is the final result:

Looks like it took a whole two minutes to make. He might as well have hired me and I could have churned up. In fact, he should hire me for all his future videos. I would just loop a clip of him standing there while a girl grinds up against him. BAM. Done in one minute.

Early mornings are not good for discussing literature

Me: Wow they're making a movie for "Angels and Demons."
Me: I liked Angels and Demons better than Da Vinci Code.
Stephanie: What was the other book he wrote?
Me: Da Vinci Code?
Stephanie: No, something else...
Me: Something Fortress? Something Point?
Stephanie: No, it was like Angels and Demons...
Me: DA VINCI CODE.
Stephanie: Yea that one.
Me: I SAID THAT TWO MINUTES AGO.

Stephanie: Who's the author again? ....Chris Brown?

Me: This is going on my blog
Me: You're dumb
Stephanie: Noooooooooo

Although Dan Brown is not literature. Fun novels with intricate interesting drawings, perhaps. And a lot of made-up stuff that sounds real.
