Something that can't be changed




HaHaHa.......They finally figured it out!!!!! What I'm talking about is the shift of styles between different social groups! In past 10 YEARS! chain clothing stores such as Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Abercrombie... have been selling basically the same styles and logos to the market and the marketing technique they used (which was basically stamping on there LOGO to everything) was working because people wanted to logo and just the fact they were wearing "designer" clothing but that is all changing. Studies have shown that chain stores such as AE.... are actually losing money because a HUGE shift of style is happening and people don't want labels everywhere on them so other stores such as PacSun, UrbanOutfitters, American Apparel,Hot Topic are doing so much better because of the "alternative" characteristic of the clothing. So of course the AE company tried a new styles and less LOGOS approach with adding v neck tees, caridgans ( for both sexes),vests, and slimmer fitting for guys. This new apporoch COMPLETELY backfired and those styles completely failed and people just basically bought less from them. I guess when people get so use to the typical styles of certain stores they really stick with it BUT with my recent outing during Black Friday i did notice that they are trying the " alternative" look with the typical LOGO slapped on the clothing BUT they did try to tone down the logo and tone up the actual design of the clothing. So at the end they did change but just very slowly.

Music UPDATE!:D


As you can tell I never post anything about music unless it is SUPER GOOD! and this is one of does post. Paramore's new CD "Brand New Eyes" . My first thought of this cd was "what a preppy cover....mostly a bad cd." I was totally wrong!:D How I got the cd was totally random and way too long to tell but Just want to state that this cd I can say is one of my most FAVORITE cds ever (besides for my Haunted Mansion Cds but that's a another story..) Surprising all the songs are pretty good. You know that usually most cds have 3 to 4 REALLY good songs and the rest is just there to take up space well this cd is not!. I'm not a fan of acoustic version of songs but even the acoustic versions of "Ignorance" and "Where The Lines Overlap" are pretty good. So don't be like me and judge the cd by the random butterfly and at least get the song "Ignorance." Also get the cd before all the PREPS get them. haahahaha:D

Track List
1. Careful
2. Ignorance
3. Play God
4. Brick By Boring brick
5. Turn It Off
6. The Only Exception
7. Feeling Sorry
8. Looking Up
9. Where The Lines Overlap
10. Misguided Ghosts
11 .All I Wanted
12. Ignorance(Acoustic)
13 .Where The Lines Overlap(Acoustic)

Leave an Impression



Of course! If you just joined our blog this can be counted as a welcome post....Anyway on what I'm mean on "leave an impression" is to be individual with your own style and personality. Ever since "scene" or "emo" have became a little too MAINSTREAM ( which is a good or bad thing) everyone is basically the same. It's sad to say that we are becoming conformist to the world and the whole thing about being "alternative" is to not do that. So yea...of course I love!!! Skinny jeans but everyone wears them so make them you own. Do what ever to them like paint on them or sew..... OR just pick a color which is unique just to you. Be a little outgoing and wear something which you won't see everyone wear everyday. To add on this this post!!!! As you can see in the Hot Topic stores and websites that Nightmare Before Christmas is back again for another holiday season! YAY! Personally I love it. You should check it out!

uuuhhh.....


Yeah....at least for me I have summer school soon...actually next week.Don't worry it's not like i failed a class it's just for GYM because of the CFA thing.Besides that I really wanted to talk about HAIR!IDK why it's just because that I have been looking for a hair razor or whatever they call them and along the way I found some HOT! pictures of "emo or scene" hair more correctly worded of choppy,razored,layered.....hair. And I would like to say if you want razored hair GO FOR IT! Yeah for me at least cutting my own hair is kind of scary becuase that if you mess up there's no turning back unless you are really good at that stuff. So I highly recommand a friend that you know that is pretty good at cutting/styling whatver hair ask them.Trust me the salon people suck! They don't know what they are doing unless it is just a trim of something less complicated. Well for the picture,heres a strerotypical "scene or emo" hairstyle with the bangs going on one side and covering or almost covering one of the eyes. Usually black or the majority black. By the Way the picture is also ALEX EVANS in his darker times. (If you have not been keeping up with Alex actually he has done a somewhat quick change from "scene or emo" for more alternative and the Urban Outfitters scene or style. But still really hot both ways!)
