Geek and chic are becoming synonymous these days. I was looking at a fashion blog this morning that was praising the fashion-forward notion of horn-rimmed glasses and suspenders. And, while capitalizing on or bastardizing a culture of people who, only years beforehand were ridiculed for the same appearance seems a bit odd–to say the least–there is something to be said that now–more that ever before–it’s easy for you to look cool. And, trust me, it’s worth it if you want to get the high score with the nerdy ladies.
A few years back, the world was fascinated with zombies. You saw zombies everywhere… hell, even Comic heroes were zombiefied and left to prowl on the meek and innocent. Zombie this, zombie that and then have some more Zombie sprinkled all over your morning coffee. You know what they say, a Zombie a day, keeps the necrophiliacs away!
We all know the phrase “We can still be friends, right?” ranks up there as one of the worst phrases one person can say to another person. (Don’t even get me started on that. We were never friends to begin with before whatever the heck we were happened, ass.)
In addition to pseudo-romantical relations, we’ve all at one point in our lives used the word “friend” as a loaded weapon. In junior high, my sister and I would trade our friendship for requests with my younger cousin. If he wanted to be friends, he would have to go downstairs and grab us a snack pack.
Silvi Suicide stops by for this weeks video blog, along with Rambo and Missy. Check out a preview of Rambo in the lingerie she wore for the Ink ‘N’ Undies fashion show, get a peek of Missy’s new ink, and find out what’s so great about back to back multiples.
Over the years I have built up this Ideal. A checklist of features that have inevitably turned me into a picky pretentious asshole, but with good intentions. Like Weird Science, I wish i could take Tina Fey’s chin & glasses, Zooey Deschanel’s smile, Sara Silverman’s mannerisms & Penelope Cruz’s….everything, and turn them into some kind of super girl. Those features have become less important in their practicality eg – those people that are strictly a boobs or butt man, and more about a feeling that’s invoked in my heart by the mathematics of angles, and more overly the colour palette and contrast. As it stands you could probably personify my lust into the form of #RGBYYY00021.
There have been some crazy stories that come from reconnecting with people from our pasts via Facebook, MySpace, PlentyofFish, etc. I understand the allure, especially when it’s someone who we were crushing on or possibly even involved intimately with in our high school and college lives. It’s definitely interesting to see how these peoples lives turned out, what road they took and where they have ended up today.
