All right, all right, the man is attractive and a really talented actor. The end.
Now the boy thinks he can sing.
No. No, he cannot. I recommend (read: do not) that you go and listen to songs in which Robert Pattinson sings. Talk about a new form of torture. Sure, apparently he can play instruments well, but the young knave cannot sing. An idea of the pure energy form of pain (his singing): imagine that someone who is tone deaf, and drunk decides he is going to tune his completely untrained vocal chords on a hapless audience.
Then imagine this noodle-brain is going to attempt difficult singing techniques: at some points he literally sounds like he is about to throw up. Imagine, it still sounds this bad after the recording studio probably did their best to clean up the sounds.
Remember loyal readers: friends don't let friends listen to Robert Pattinson's music. I genuinely hope his recordings will not be used to torture prisoners in far-away lands.

Your Opinion on Fashion!
Dear Reader,
If you have spotted an interesting new trend, found a cool fashion revival, or spotted Croc shoes *shudders* or some other fashion atrocity, feel free to express yourself on this blog!
Send the topic, your text, and/or copyright-free images to me at dame_nimoue@yahoo.com (with "Blog" in the subject line), and I will most likely post it!
Please, nothing terribly obscene.

Stocking and Leg Apparell....
Hello, lovely reader. I am back to gripe about the latest trends I have been seeing. I thought it was isolated to my small college campus, but I observed the same sinister trends playing out in the Big Apple. Leg warmers. They are back. BAD! BAD HUMANS! Stockings under shorts? That died in the the '90's! What is wrong with people? I guess this separates the posers from the truly fashion-conscious.
Ugh. It burns my bohemian soul. If you find yourself leaning towards these trends, do what I do. Think to yourself: "Would it fit in a 1980's movie?". If you get visions of Madonna traipsing around in it, put the object of consideration down, step back, and think of corsets.
Corsets and skirts ala the 1940's. The nipped waist-skirts, the cute cute shoes.

A dash of bitter from the sweet.
Hello all. Although at this point it seems that no one is reading my blog, I am going to continue my rantings and fun.
What is going on with popular music lately? Before you all roll your eyes, know that yes, most of us are generally displeased, I have a specific complaint. Apparently singers think that it is more appealing to throw their voices into the backs of their throats to make them sound like 12-year-old girls. I know that sex sells, but this is too much: suggestive songs being squeezed out by a chick who sounds as though she skipped puberty? Puh-leeze. Good job, American media.
At least the British singers sound like women. Somehow, even in the (awesome) music that you hear in Bollywood movies, the women who sing with hyper-high vocal ranges still sound like women. What does this mean? It means that it is time for a music revolution.

Those Who Don't Learn History...
All right, so I know that everyone is all hot about bringing back the 1980's styles. Here is what I have to say about that: approach such a trend with caution. Use common sense, stop and breathe slowly before you decide to buy a pair of leg warmers, or decide to wear footless leggings without boots to cover up your awkwardly exposed calves.
Honestly, a few of my friends are truly concerned about such a disturbing trend. Sure, there were a few odd things that were fascinating in the 1980's (not that I can think of one), but the styles were over all, pretty dang hideous.
The giant hair, the shoulder pads, the high-waisted peg-leg jeans...Really? Do we, as a species actually want to repeat such a heinously terrible mistake such as the 1980's? The ankle socks with the flat-heeled shoes are just right out-don't do it. Think of how awful your parents looked in their old photos from the 80's. Do you really want to wear what some of your parents wore when they were impressionable youths?
There are certain stores in the mall which are growing fat off of the profits, most disgustingly one that offers any color of unflattering leggings *cough, cough* (you know which one).
Thankfully, this is not the only retro fad that is currently happening. There is a large movement towards the beautiful clothing styles of the 1940's and 1950's, ala Grace Kelly. Thank goodness for that.

What is this all about?!
Our Mission Statement: to bring some unique perspectives on fashion, feminism, music, ridiculous things and people, and whatever other miscellaneous errata we come up with to praise and critique (either acidly or seriously).
Perhaps, once in a while, we might take on the hypothetical perspective of what a famous deceased person would say in response to the topic at hand, usually these posts will be very tongue-in-cheek.
Approach this blog with a sense of humor, we certainly will.
