Facebook Friends

Hola SNTCC!…So I have a little rant I need to get off my chest. Let the crowd say AMEN! I’m just going to say it..…I think Facebook fucked us up. (you still reading?..lol)

Okay here’s why…how is it that we can have "friends" on Facebook that if we see in public, we would quietly walk by? What is the purpose of Facebook?

When I joined it in college (early 2000s) it was a site for college students only. I guess to connect you with people on your campus? It used to be an elitist attribute that college educated kids could only attain access to; A for members only club. Now they just let any old body join the mix. You don’t need to be in school, you don’t need to have a job; you don’t even have to be a person! Now they’re businesses on facebook and ads too…Really? Well haven’t we come a long way from the initial concept $$$.

Back to the foremost gripe at hand….It’s kinda weird how we may know someone on Facebook, but not really talk to them in real life. So maybe they should rename ‘friend requests’, and instead call them keeping up request, because that is all it is. The crazy thing is that we as a population bought into that shit. Why would we want people we don’t speak to, or know really well for that matter to keep up with our lives? Do we just like to stunt? (show-off for my tigther laced folks..love yall!)

Have you ever caught yourself looking at someone’s Facebook pictures and getting jealous? Feeling like your life was not as interesting as the persons' whose page you were looking at appeared to be?  Facebook depression, aint that some sh@%t…now your not good enough?! It’s crazy when you really sit and think about it.

And Facebook started this non-sense where employers can just Google you and find out how your weekend really was..smh.

O, and we can’t forget those who use Facebook to make themselves feel important, on there real philosophical with it….those every five minutes posters…clogging up your timeline..lol…I feel like twitter may be more appropriate for them.

Now I’m not saying we should ditch Facebook entirely, but maybe we should rethink how use it.

Fashion Week: Fall 2011

Fashion Week: Fall 2011

This month’s Fashion week did not disappoint! It is hard to even be completely excited by next fall, as I am still cold…lol…but the fashion is amazing. A few trends to watch our for. Fur, Wide legs pants/jeans, Wrap shirts/dresses,  ponchos, the Charlie chapin hat…(any hat you can find!), front pleated pants,

You also see the traditional black, but not a lot of chocolate brown. There was a lot of focus on the more washed out  coloring, but lots of color.

Fashion rookie Alexander Wang showed a lot of masculine touches in his pieces, undone hair,he still stayed true to some of the current trends like transparency, and seventies chic skirts in satin. He had a lot of oversized. BCBG Max Azria also followed this trend including beautiful pops of Pantone new coral and also a beautiful Caribbean blue.

Diane Von Furstenburg also following the trend with heavy emphasis on black and beautifull subdued brighter colors. She also introduced polka dots and a Knee length Mo-hair vest that was to die for! She also had beautiful gowns with these bright pops of color.

Max Azria stayed true to Mr.Ledger’s  essence and created a beautiful line that offered the trend with color and a power/militant sort of vibe with it.

Marc Jacobs was polka dotted out! Nothing more really to say…

I loved Naeem Khan so much I could not take it! With rich traditional fall colors he gave viewrs an attack of dresses.  Sprinkling here and there pants and suiting. The fall line is overwhelmingly sexy! He was just showing off!!

Proenza Schouler was giving us something refreshing, show bright and rich tones on velevet  and the whole collection displayed beautiful geometric prints.

Z spoke by  Zac posen was hot….and all black, literally almost every piece was black or had black in it, I was a little creeped out by the pale face and black lipstick though.

Funeral of a Friendship...

Hey SNTCC! This Eulogy is from July 2011. A lost rant that I am finally laying to rest...

You were never a friend, more like an overzealous acquaintance.

I don’t wish you the best, I wish you to fuck off and enjoy the hate that you have created.

If you are ever in need don’t call me, you don’t deserve my charity.

Drunken nights filled with mistakes, vomit stained carpets for me to have as takeaways. Your heels marching to the sound of the drunken versions of the songs you re-state.

You are a fucking puppet, your thoughts and opinions are determined by the way the wind blows today.

Loyalty to you is whoever will agree fastest with you.

If I was smart I would have looked at our friendship as a business investment to pursue. Buying up as much stock as I could in the tequila you consume.

I once felt sorry for you because I knew you didn’t know the woman who looked back at you. Now I know this is the only way it can be for you.

You blissfully choose ignorance, a coward with an agreeable smile. You do this so you can continue to hide from the monster you created on the inside.

Your words are empty and hollow, much like talking to an echo. A beautiful parrot you are, repeating back everything you are told to by your short tempered keeper.

Don’t ever make the mistake of ringing my number, once you burn a bridge you can’t go back the same way.

How dare you question the extent of friendship another is willing to face. There were times in my life where I was wishing and hoping that you might care and be there. Instead life was only about you.

Tears blazed down my eyes the day our friendship died, but with this little note. I lay it down forever as a complete joke, realizing and smiling, I have only happy tears now and I am of good cheer. I am not longer dealing with the judgmental pretender I used to fear.
