Pissed Bees

   Things look better from a distance.  It's true.  Think about it. Did the roller coaster look that scary when you were standing in line?  Could you really see that zit from more than 2 feet away? 


   Yes things are oh so different when you can't see what's up close and in design this rule also rings true especially when talking about graphics


Take a peak at these shoes

Hey!  Cute shoes I little yellow..bees are they? Adorable.


.....Let's take a closer look...

We got ourselves a case of pissed bees!  Big eyed and ready to blow.

Generations Divide Us! Ugh..not really

So I feel like my generation gets a lot of flack.
             those teens are always texting 
                  those teens are so disrespectful
                       and they are always playing with 
                            there techno-whatsits 
                                 while they chew gum!


So this post is to all you 21 century haters out there who whole heartedly believe I am part of generation of doom and disgust.

BAM!  Wonderin' where we got it?...
                               ...I've got an idea




This blog post isn't to say that we are drawing exact parallels to the past by mode of fashion.  It's simply pointing out that some things just don't change with time (regardless of the amount) ...It also makes great use of this hilarious bus photo.

You give us royal wedding hats? We give you....um..this!

With all the hoopla & headgear displayed at the royal wedding, the US thought there was no way we could every live up to the hat hype of April 28th 2011.

And then......we did:

wuzzy fuzzy goes neon

but if you're looking for something a bit more..cough...animal friendly may I suggest:

The pure epitome of nautical nonsense.

The Scoop on the scrubs

So here's a fact about scrubs.  They aren't attractive.  Want to hear another fact? There isn't much one can do to make them attractive.  Luckily these iconoclasts work. it. out.

Notice how she tied in the lavender pastel shirt underneath the butterfly abomination.  Well done Ms. Pediatrician, well done.

You try accessorizing an all blue. all NAVY blue outfit and I'll see what you come up with.  For right now a simple white tee and black hair-net resembling hat don't seem so bad.

Who knew the line between education and fashion could be so defined?

It's D block. French.  End of the day.  Completely tired, and Ms. P tells us we are starting a new unit.  The clothing unit.  My ears perk up at once because after all France is the fashion capital of the world and our textbook is called Discovering French so I'm pretty hyped...


.... and then I see this: 

Valette, Jean-Paul, and Rebecca M. Valette. Discovering French Nouveau. N.p.:
     McDougal Littell, 2004. Print.

It's not just the awk positions these two 'average french teens' are 
standing in 
that makes this photo interesting Let me tell you about what

those shirts say.

Yellow stoplight 1: 'speak to me softly'

Red stoplight 2: 'hug me I'm French'

Later in the class a girl was asked if she would wear either of the shirts.  
She responded with a pitiful look at the models and a 'no.'

 Valette, Jean-Paul, and Rebecca M. Valette. Discovering French Nouveau. N.p.: 

     McDougal Littell, 2004. Print.

Yeah...ummm.. no.

Valette, Jean-Paul, and Rebecca M. Valette. Discovering French Nouveau. N.p.: 

     McDougal Littell, 2004. Print.

A pink, silk, leave dress most likely isn't gonna work.  Oh and I 

wouldn't be counting on Mr. Dark Blue shirt on denim for any tips.

It doesn't stop at french books:

Greenes, Carole, Mirism A. Leiva, and Bruce R. Vogeli. Mathematics. N.p.: 

     Houghton Mifflin, 2002. Print.

Looks like even my sister's math textbook is capable of providing 
fashion iconoclasts.

It's these moments.  The moments when you open a textbook to 
find a snapshot of a 'fashionable young french individual' wearing a 
solid tee and capris that make you (or me)chuckle.  I sincerely thank
the color coordinated stylist on set at any of these shoots.  And come on 
maybe there are worse things in the world (or at least the world of fashion

and expression)than looking like a put together youth.....even if you 
are stuck on single colored tee's.  

Get Ready for This One

My next post is coming later tomorrow and I can't tell you much but I will answer your 'what is the next post going to be about!?' question with a hint about tomorrows's post...


...... when it comes to fashion, textbooks are teaching us all the wrong info....


sorry about the delay but I have to look into the copyright stuff :) 

Swarm of the Birthday Suit

Sitting in the car, stuck in the hustle and bustle of downtown San Francisco traffic.  Humming along, feeling swell.  All of a sudden out of nowhere hundreds of naked individuals on bikes zoom past me as they shout loudly to the world ,'hey guys check me out.  I'm nude on a bike.. yeah!' 

After I recovered from the initial shock I began to think that having this much confidence in one's appearance is in a way a fashion statement.  AND it definitely qualifies as iconoclast.  So here you are guys, let the swarm commence...

* the obnoxious background laughing adds a nice touch, don't you think? ....yup that's me.
