| '"I'm crazy, and I don't pretend to be anything else. "
-Calvin Klein
This oh so 80's retro chic trend has returned to pop up all over this year's spring and summer looks. Designers have taken very different persona's with the once immensely popular style. A little goes a long way when it comes to neon, so I'm wondering: What is the best way to work the day-glow theme?
Pairing dual candy colored neon shades with a neutral like black seemed to be a hit with Alexander Wang's Spring 2009 collection. Fun, outgoing, fashion forward, but very wearable.
This Spring, Calvin Klein took a more courageous spin with men's monochromatic almost powder-toned suits. Classy, daring, immaculate; signature Calvin.
We don't know if this has-been trend will be sticking around for too long, so it might be a good idea to keep it at your fingertips -- litterally. Neon nail polish is fun an easy way to test run the fad for yourself without taking too much of a risk.
What do you think?

| "Yo! Listen, I'm Joe Jonas! I'm your best friend! Open the fridge. Eat a chicken."
-Joe Jonas
In case you had not heard, the Jonas Brothers were on Larry King Live last night. In fact, it was even a special segment held at the Cowboy's stadium. Now, let me ask. Since when do untalented boy bands make the honor of being on a prestigious show? Young, rich and famous. But talented? Okay, I admit..I have one or two songs on my iPod. But honestly, if it were not for Disney's fan base of millions of silly screaming preteen girls, they would not be doing so hot. There has to be something else, because the music isn't that good.
   These boys have hundreds of sold out concerts, adoring fans, countless types of paraphernalia, a blockbuster movie, a television series, and Louis Vuitton luggage to keep them company during all of the chaos. They've preformed with some of the biggest names in music including Stevie Wonder and have wax figures dedicated to their success. What's next, a trip to the White House? Oh, wait. They already did that.
Naturally, the only thing that's left to do is a world tour. But we better watch out, because there's no telling what these guys will be up to next. They could create the world's biggest army of oblivious tween girl followers and take over the universe.
So, please inform me. What is so great about the Jonas Brothers? | | |
| "So if I pray, am I just sending words into outer space?"
- Lost; Katy Perry
Fact: Katy Perry's born name is Katy Hudson, and her parents are traveling ministers. She wasn't allowd to listen to secular music growing up, and she came out with a Christian album before becoming what she is now. Didn't see that one coming, eh? Well, in honor of that I'm going to rant about religion today.
  
Is it just me, or does thinking about religion make you extremely exhausted? For some people, it's easy for them to just believe that God created everything and he's out there somewhere in the great beyond watching over all of us. Sure, we all had to get here somehow. For me I need proof, answers, evidence. So we have the Bible as evidence. What makes it any more powerful than the writings of ancient Greek gods? Science says that space goes on forever. Forever is a long, long time. There has to be something else out there, other than the Earth, other than the creatures on our planet. So is God in control of them too?
I've never been terribly religious but I've grown up being Christian. I don't discriminate against any religion because what proof do we, as Christians, have that we are any more right than Hindus, or people who practice Islam, or any other religion? For instance, the whole idea that God created the Earth and Man and that's it, end of story. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong. So, that means the millions of other people who practice other religions because that's all they know, are damned to Hell? It's completely ridiculous, biased, and hypocritical.
Yes, I do realize that I'm young, naive, and probably don't have all the facts. But these are my opinions, take them or leave them, I'll make you think. Feel free to leave your thoughts via comment. (:
-Claire.
