A Change

This is by no means only a style blog, but I do love fashion. I don't love the fashion models (too unhealthy), but I love the way clothes are made, how they look, hairstyles, etc. I feel really guilty about this, mostly because I suffer from "I Don't Want To Be Seen As Vapid" (IDWTBSAV) syndrome. Blame it on the fact that I'm a very large academic snob (I can't help it).

ANYWAY, I have decided that I'm going to get a mini-makeover. I've had the same hairstyle for the past 24 years. The texture of my hair has changed, yes; it moved from puffy/wavy to curly to REALLY curly to unmanageable back to curly, and now it's somewhere between wavy and curly (damn my genes!). I've kept it long because of my round face, and have refrained from permanently straightening it, mostly because I'm afraid that it will look "fake". I LIKE my curly hair, but I'm tired of it, so I've decided that I'm going to do a Brazilian Keratin hair treatment that will render my hair straight for about 4 months. Not only that, I'm chopping it off (well, to shoulder length) a la Jessica Alba.

Let's actually hope I'll go through with it.

Taza and the Prince

So excited for this to come in the mail! Naomi from Rockstar Diaries has set up an Etsy shop called Taza and the Prince, where she sells her delightful self-made headbands. I was lucky enough to snag the last one in her store (which happened to be my favorite), but she updates her stock every 2 weeks or so. You should also check out her blog which is chock full of unironic adorableness.

An unfortunate turn of events.

I don't think I will ever be able to fulfill my dream of actually being a ballerina. Yesterday in class, we had to spin across the room and I got motion sick.

Visual candy for the day.

Oh hey, dirtbag!

Well, well, well: everybody's favorite baby-faced crooner with the nasty moves, Chris Brown, has allegedly beaten up his girlfriend, the beautiful Rihanna leaving her with visible injuries. He was arrested for felony battery.

Apparently in 2007, Chris Brown told Giant magazine: "[My stepfather] used to hit my mom. He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, 'I'm just gonna go crazy on him one day…' I hate him to this day."

Looks like domestic violence runs in the family.

Rapper David Banner says: "One situation doesn't define a man and I really want American to stop doing that to people. As humans, none of us is perfect."

UM. YOU DO NOT HIT WOMEN, ASSHOLE {also, I barely understand your sentence: -50 points}.

DISGUSTING.

WEEZY F.

I have a confession to make. I have an unhealthy obsession with Lil' Wayne. I'm not really one to go for raunchy rap, but Weezy injects his rhymes with such clever wordplay that I can't help but love him. Therefore I was SO HAPPY that he was a big winner at the Grammys last night. Did you also know that he went to college for 2 semesters? I feel like I can totally back him up now.

Here's his interview with Katie Couric for your viewing pleasure.
