HIPSTER RUNOFF

I recently saw this alt QT wearing a really interesting pair of jeans. At this point, there isn't really much left to do with jeans. They've been baggy, skinny, paintery, wideleggy, bootleggy, and even JNCO-wave. It seems like the era of finding a 'classy way' to customize your jeans is upon us. While rich women opt to 'bejewel'/'bling' some designs on the butt pockets of their jeans, alternative ppl need a way to 'keep it authentic' without breaking the bank.

I think that 'dipping ur jeans into a huge tub of paint' seems like an authentic way 2 individualize ur jeans.

I went to talk to Steve, my personal paint mixer who works at Home Depot. He's a super good guy, and is actually thinking about transferring to the Lowe's that opened up towards the new outer-edge of suburbia.

He said this project was TOTALLY DO-ABLE, and all I had to do was pick my own colour [via swatch samples]

I went ahead and took a pair or my Old Navy Painter's jeans, just to sort of exist as a metaphor for the dying medium of 'painting' as artists just try to 'go viral' with modern media.

Honestly, u can dip anything in paint. Feels really liberating to be on the 'bleeding edge' of this new trend.

I remember when 'faded jeans' used 2 be branded as 'alt'/'lamestreamer edgy.' U can only wonder if manufacturers are going 2 take this trend to the next level.

Would yall rather wear painted jeans or painter's jeans?
Will this be a relevant alt trend?
Do yall ever 'paint kewl designs on ur jeans'?
What makes 'cool jeans'?
Do u have 'faded', 'wide legged', 'skinny', or cargo-wave jeans?
Are painter's jeans the 'Helvetica' of jeans? [via 'perfect']
Is this dipped jeans girl 'totally keut'?
Should I buy some fondue fountains and have a paint dipping partie?

I attend a relevant music festival to see my favourite buzzband
Standing in the crowd with so many faces
Facing the stage, admiring the band, seeing massive props on the stage
My mental image of a band manifesting itself in front of me
The very first physical experience with the band
as opposed to just a digital experience as I became familiar with the band
feels like a mix of a personal, artistic, + consumer experience

One large X behind the band, symbolizing the brand of the band
unifying the digital brand with the physical brand

Photo by last night's party

Enjoying the show, re-interpreting my perception of the band
Either growing closer 2 the band
or feeling distant from the digital image of the band

I step behind the stage
behind the curtain
of the Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of a Buzz Band

I have 'uncovered the Wizard of Buzz'
The X which was once so absolute and intimidating
is actually just a plywood structure
possibly built in the garage of a local artist who bought the supplies at Home Depot

Behind every great idea is something simple
at the core of every human is a sad, scared individual
behind every brand is a simple idea
Everything feels so fragile

Should we keep the curtain up
not knowing what is behind
so the image stays carefully constructed
or do we pull aside the curtain
exposing the truth
attempting to get vulnerable
get real
get raw

Behind every buzzband are a group of humans
searching 4 the same thing that u r
Maybe at the core of every human is a chill bro
waiting to bro down with a group of authentic bros

Letting go of my digital image of a band
No longer thinking they are 'cool' because they live life on the road, making music
but instead feeling more vulnerable
Like fragile humans playing music for fragile humans in the audience
Scared, seeking acceptance
Seeking a connection with humanity

The Wizard of Buzz
those who construct the image of a band
PR Companies, Managers, Record Labels, Marketing Firms
Trying 2 see thru the buzz
2 find something 'more'--a better reason 4 connecting with a band

Plywood megastructures
Will one day
Be used as firewood

MP3s
will one day
get lost forever when ur hard drive crashes

Buzzbands
will one day
go back to being 'regular people'
(unless they are Coldplay/U2/Radiohead/etc.)

Follow the Buzzy Brick Road. Follow the Buzzy Brick Road.
Follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow the Buzzy Brick Road.
Follow the Buzzy Brick, Follow the Buzzy Brick,
Follow the Buzzy Brick Road.

We're off to see the BuzzBro, The Wonderful Buzzbro of Buzz.
You'll find he is a Buzz of a Bro! If ever a Bro! there was.
If ever oh ever a Bro! there was The Wizard of Buzz is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because.
Because of the wonderful buzz he buzzes.
We're off to see the BuzzBro. The Wonderful Buzzbro of Buzz

Lately, I have been really into people who create things 'for the sake of going viral on the internet.' It seems like if I had a meaningless mainstream life that I didn't know was mainstream+meaningless, I would probably try to do a lot of stuff that 'went viral' in order to inspire people to 'be interested' in my unique creation for 5 to 60 seconds. Even though I would never be 'famous', I would still try to capture the attention of the internet for 1 magical day. I feel inspired by whoever made cookies that were made 2 'represent various Lady Gaga outfits.' I do not find Lady Gaga to be 'fascinating' or 'inspiring', but I am fascinated by mainstreamers who are 'really in2 Lady Gaga.'   Arts & crafts really enable Middle America to 'express themselves' in a meaningful way.   The spirit of baking is a liberating one for most women, but they generally do not understand that they are perpetuating stereotypes by accepting their role in the kitchen. The truth is, few women are 'genuinely creative', which is why it is so important for so many females to rally around female pop icons.  The spirit of 'girl power' lives on in every female artist.  This act of creating lil cookies of ur fave singer is something that the internet will remember 4evr. Believe in the power of Arts + Crafts + Baked Goods. ////IN DEPTH ////ANALYSIS ///OF COOKIE LADY GAGA VIRAL MEME BITES ///ARTS = CRAFTS = BAKING = MEMES = $$ = LIFE = 'Mad Hits' So amazing how Lady Gaga's performances add an element of theatre + drama to her musical performance.  Can't believe she actually stabbed herself for a performance. It is so beautiful how one cookie can be 'more than just a cookie.'  I feel like this cookie is 'more than just' a choco chip or oatmeal raisin cookie.  Even more than a snicker doodle/Girl Scout Cookie. By representing Lady Gaga in one of her most definitive performances, this cookie exists on a plane of art that few other baked goods exist on.  The red blood makes me feel 'humanized', since the same blood runs through my body.  At an moment, u could get stabbed and ur life will end. If I took this cookie to my design school senior thesis critique, I would definitely get tons of positive feedback for this cookie.  The multicoloured sprinkles give the 'hair' a unique look that few other edible goods could achieve.

NEXT COOKIE>>>

Lady Gaga is a true fashion icon, since she is so willing to 'push the envelope' and 'think outside the box.' Many people say that her act transcends pop culture.  At some sort of fake awards show, she wore something that really made us think abt fashion by wearing something 'beyond belief.' I believe this cookie has also transcended traditional frosting strategies. The red frosting covers the cookie, leaving us wonder what exotic tastes lie behind it.  All we could do is simply take a bite, and hope for the best.  True artists inspire your trust.  Once you take a 'free sample' of a musician or a cookie, u might never let go.

A lot of ppl say that Lady Gaga looks weird. Like she has a jacked up face. Many have called her a 'horse face' or a 'butter face.'  A lot of ppl say that she hides behind glasses a lot cuz she has a schnozzy. I don't agree with them. I believe Lady Gaga is beautiful on the inside and the outside. I feel like this cookie captures her beauty well.  Even though all humans are imperfect, we can still find beauty in their imperfections.

Lady Gaga's music video wardrobes inspire the Halloween costumes for mainstreamers all across the world. I feel like this cookie is supposed to represent how few mainstreamers could look like Lady Gaga, since she is wearing such expensive designer clothing.  The entire cookie creative process is a 'futile' one, but a necessary one.  Though no cookie will do her zany outfits justice, the important part is that the baker decided to create something beautiful. Maybe one day the baker will make lil cookies of herself.  Hope 1 day she can love herself as much as Lady Gager.

I feel like this cookie let me down. The three dimensional element of Lady Gaga's costume is nowhere 2 be found. I wish more top design and architecture programs offered courses that helped students learn more about progressive culinary techniques.  Sorta wish  I could go on the popular Bravo TV show 'Top Chef Cooking 4 yall in the Kitchen.'

Sunglasses are always an important part of a personal brand. I think the 'blind person glasses' are well represented in this cookie.  Even if this cookie was blind in whatever cookie world she existed in, I honestly believe that she would have a lot of confidence in her body image.

Lady Gagy's platinum hair is an important part of her brand. I feel like it must have ben fulfilling to make this cookie, but challenging to re-interpret the morphing animal print features of the original Lady Gaga outfit. The small drizzle of blue sprinkles ejecting from the cookie person's eye probably represents both a 'lightning bolt', but also a small trail of tears, probably for some personal or global tragedy.

Feel like I need to beef up my zany hat collection. I feel like the 'frown' on this cookie is a misinterpreted 'pout.'  The zany hat is poorly executed.  Probably would have used some sort of progressive frozen chocolate to achieve the same effect.

I'll never forget the time Lady Gaga performed for Queen Elizabeth, the President of the United Kingdom. It must have been an honor for Queen Elizabeth 2 get to see one of the greatest performers of our time 'in the raw.' I feel like Queen Elizabeth would enjoy this cookie as much as she enjoyed a zany Lady Gaga performance.

It seems like Lady Gaga uses tons of progressive materials to make unique costumes. The bakers are also probably using progressive cookie decorating materials, such as sprinkles, organic frostings, and miscellaneous paints from their local Home Depot.

I feel really inspired by Lady Gagerton. I feel like if I ate this cookie, I would probably also eat a part of Lady Gaga, giving me the power & creativity to do anything semi-creative in the world.  Like it would give me the power to be a popular tween actor or actress, then I would get to star in a Harry Potter + Twilight movie.  In addition, I would get to write the lead song for the soundtrack.

If I had the opportunity to bake a cookie that looked like this outfit, I would be most excited about crafting her hat and her classes.  Seems like a chill ass mattress pad pattern. I think this cookie is a huge failure, since the cookie artist failed to use a burnt Dorito or a blue corn chip in order to create a unique hat.

She seems to be some sort of 'batman'/devil/gremlin type of creature in this outfit.  Probably trying to inspire 'fear' into ppl. Feel scared of this cookie, like it is some sort of juggernaut.  Possibly a large hornie woman, trying to kill u + make love 2 u.

When we reflect on Lady Gaga's career in 40 years, we will remember the classic Lady Gaga look. This must be a 'classic tasting' gaga cookie.  Probably tastes like a ChipsAHoy or an Oreo or something.

This cookie seems kinda scared. Wonder what the 'real' Lady Gaga is like on the inside.  What is she so afraid of?  Why can't she just be herself?  Why does she have this 'front' up?  It must be nice to just have a Gaga cookie, instead of speculating abt the tons of problems/demons that the real Lady Gaga must have.

I love Lady Gaga's beautiful legs. She often chooses to showcase them in tights. I would love to lick her from her heel to her vagina. I would also love to lick this cookie's entire leg.  But I think things are different on a cookie.  Like I would probably rather lick some of the frosting.

Ultimately, all women want to look like Barbie.  Get all 'whored up' in pink, wear cute jewelry and makeup, and colour their hair blonde, then have tons of men try to insert their peens into them. This cookie has a very 'pretty'/'beautiful' vibe.  Like some men would actually cut a hole into it, and then attempt to make love to the cookie.

This see-thru lace body suit showcase Lady Gag's cute lil nipple. The random dabbling of red frosting on this cookie captured the same sexy aesthetic that see-thru lace can achieve.  I feel let down that there is no interpretation of a nipple on the cookie.

On a lot of these cookies, I feel confused by the amount of space dedicated to the shoulder area. Part of me wants to see breasts/nipples drawn on

'Such a zany outfit...Can she even see out of it... Only Gaga....Loves it!' - 2 mainstream girls watching mtv 2gthr Sometimes I wonder if cookies have souls, and when u eat them, u basically kill them. Wondering what type of beauty lies behind this white costume.  I feel like if I had a bakery, I would create zany cookies of famous ppl to appeal to 'kidz.'  Might have the white frosting on this one taste rich & complex, eventually becoming a guilty pleasure of middle aged ppl on their way to getting diabetes.

This cookie looks more like 1980s Madonna than Lady Gaga. Wonder if Lady Gaga ripped off Madonna.  Wonder if they will 'write a song together' and the make out on stage + have some sort of sex tape.

Wonder if the black frosting taste bad. Wonder if Lady Gaga will die in some sort of plane crash, but no1 will believe she is dead.

I love Lady Gaga's sexy stare. I honestly believe she could make a man cum just by looking deep into his eyes. This cookie seems to have the same effect on me. I feel like if I ate it, I would have a long, hard orgasm, especially if we engaged in a lil bit of foreplay.

I would have loved the opportunity to take on this Kermit the frog zany outfit in cookie format. The cookie artist really 'choked' on this one. Instead of going out of her way to 'create something beautiful', she sort of half-assed, and dabbed a few lil faces on a green background. Feel sad for this failed aesthetic. Ppl try to say it is 'cute and charming', but it just makes me sad.

Really just want the opportunity 2 create something beautiful.  Want the opportunity 2 bake.  Want the opportunity 2 create a meme that goes 'relatively viral' on the internet cuz it is cute & charming.   I feel like I can imagine that 'any1' did this.  Maybe like a 10 year old in St. Louis, or a class of special-needs-innercity kids in a rough part of Harlem.  Really feel like these cookies are 'more than just cookies'--they are relevant commentary on the state of _________. Just want 2 express myself, whether it is in Adobe Photoshop, a youtube vlog, in a scrapbook of my memories, or on a baking sheet, decorating cookies.   I just want to create something that is my own, but also pay tribute to some of my most inspiring idols. Lady Gaga is a genius, and I honestly believe that these cookies are more than just an 'arts & craft' project. More than just some Middle American in her parents' kitchen.  They are a true reflection of the state of art & commerce in America.  I wish I could have a high-end bake sale, and sell these cookies for crazie amounts of money. Might auction them on ebay or something. Sorta want to make lil cookies of other famous people and alt celebs. Should I open up a store at the mall that makes cookie cakes? If I eat 2 many cookies will I get diabetes [via Nick Jonas]? Do these cookies look tasty 2 u? Have u ever had a mnstrm arts+crafts night where u made something beautiful with a group of friends? Do u think that Pitchfork will start reviewing cookies instead of albums? Does Lady Gaga have a beautiful soul and unique lifestyle brand that will live on forever? What is the best kind of cookie in the world, or are u more of a pie/cake/pastry person?

All humans have belongings, and in order to transport our belongings, we must have some sort of compartment to carry these personal items with us. We must create portable space that is both fashionable and functional. This is why men and women carry 'purses', also known as bags-o-stuff. There is apparently a market for 'high end' purses, but many regular humans 'create their own purses.'

It seems like this new trend of FOIL BALLOON PURSES might take over all other D.I.Y.-themed purses in the next 1-3 years.  I hope that this will 'officially kill off' girls who buy/make purses that look like they were hand-crafted in 'the Third World.'

I have always been kinda baffled by foil balloons. They have sorta been branded as 'a shitty complement' to cheap flowers. Like u stopped at a grocery store, bought some flowers and a foil balloon, then went to give a gift to some1 you don't really love and doesn't understand why a foil balloon would be 'hella insulting.' Like a grandmother, a kid under the age of 10, or possibly a tweenage girlfriend who 'carried around her foil balloon proudly on Valentine's Day.'

Honestly would only buy a foil balloon for a 'baby'

a tween who I wanted to 'feel up' at the mall

or possibly a relative who was about to die.

I am truly amazed by the foil balloon's transition into this year's hottest fashion item.

There are just so many possibilities to create something beautiful with foil balloons. I really feel like I can take my brand 2 the next level with a 'Dora the Explorer' foil balloon purse.

Should I make a purse for my next 'GNO' [via girls nite out]?

Really need 2 be an 'early adopter' to this trend. Worried that mainstreamers will catch on to this within 2 months, kinda like how they 'stole shutter shades'/wayfarers/every good band.

I am excited about making my own foil balloon purse this weekend. I am not sure which balloon I should buy. I am not sure which foil balloon will be 'me' enough. I might actually start a 'foil balloon purse conversion' business in order to capitalize on this new trend.

I think that I will be very 'now'/'culturally relevant' if I make a balloon out of Balloon Boy's balloon. Really need to check ebay to see if I can buy a little bit of the original foil balloon print. Sounds like a challenge straight out of 'The Runway Project' television show.

We must realize that we are living in a post-balloonboy world. It's kinda weird how violated we feel after a lil family from Colorado violated our trust. For 3 hours, we thought we were watching a lil boy abt to die, but then we figured out his parents had jammed him in a box in the attic.

Creating a foil-balloon purse will mean that you are willing to let the world know that you are a victim. You are not afraid to display your pain and use fashion as an effective way to comment on the modern human condition. You will create a foil balloon purse. You will give your world a window to your pain. Your personal brand will be both 'fashionable' and 'vulnerable.'  You will be in touch with humanity.

Will u create a foil balloon purse ASAP?
How long until we see 'relevant partie pix' with foil balloon purses?
Will foil balloon purses be the next shuttershades/rcrd hats/child predator glasses?
Are foil balloons/FBPurses 'fucking stupid'?
Do u think that they will 'hold up'?
R u going to throw down an 'arts and crafts' session this weekend?
R u 'pissed' at balloon boy? Do u h8 'the media'?

Seems like this photo was taken at some sort of 'cultural arts festival' where they were creating a series of foil balloon purses.

Please feel free to send your foil balloon purse pix to Carleser [at] gmail.com (no uggos plz)

Feeling so 'violated' in the post-balloonboy world. Not sure who 2 trust any more. Not sure what's 'real' and what is 'bullshit.' Alone.

Sometimes things inspire me. I recently saw this crocheted replica penis suspended from a yarn thread belt harness, and I thought 'Wonder what my life would be like if I had one of those.' It's always a good sign when u wonder if something could make ur life better, kinda like when I got insanely jealous when my college roommate got an iPhone and a Macbook and I was stuck with a Razr and a Dell Desktop. I feel like a knitted penis might make my life better/easier. I might actually 'learn how to crochet' just to make this craft. I know that crotcheting is often something that entry level alts learn to express themselves/make lame hats+scarves, but it seems like a yarn cock might be sweet to create.

It's chill to have a 'real penis', since u can do stuff with it like urinate or 'tug off', but sometimes I feel like there would be less pressure on men if they had some sort of yarn-based art+craft generated penis. Think about how ur penis can get you into trouble:

• Implanting a baby in a girl
• getting an STD
• 'making poor decisions cuz ur thinking with ur peen'
• making love to the wrong person
• miscellaneous accident
• peeing ur pants
• make u look like a 'perv' when u 'get hard' in ur skinny jeans

I think life might be better if we could have some sort of 'replica peens'/sexual organs. Most men just see penis size as a social status symbol, so there has to be a way to create augmented realities 4 every1.  I feel like there would actually be a 'huge market' for this and not even just for aesthetic purposes. I understand that a lot of parents don't want their kids to receive free condoms ever, but a 'craft cock' might be the solution to everything.  If we could some how transition 'penis envy' into a fun accessory that men can customize, things would be better for teen boys who were 'still growing up' and men who were 'dissatisfied' with the size of their cumshooter.  There would also be less 'teen pregnancy' and less abortions, if yall think those are bad things.

Choose.Your.Own.Penis.

It would be sweet to be able to customize your craft penis. If I wanted a '12 inch erect African American cock', then I could buy some purple yarn and start crafting my new tweeter. If I wanted an 8 inch needle-dick, I could possibly just use some 'pasta' to create the ideal penis. If I wanted a post-ironic millimeter peter, then I could create an art+craft on the microscopic level and people would appreciate my artistic skills and attention to detail. Here is a 'missle head' cock that I recently constructed.

What would ur art+craft peen look like?
Questions for females: What does ur ideal peen look like? Would you ever make a penis for your loved one?

Really think this post would be cool if we could have 'an actual discussion' about sexual organs instead of just giggling about this type of stuff. It makes me sad that tweens will live their entire lives' exposed to hi-speed video porn, thinking that life is just one huge 'fuckfest.' Feel bad for women in 2day's society since a lot of men just see them as 'fuck dolls' without realizing it.  Sad that men just think with their peters and hurt women and hurt themselves.  Wish ppl would realize the consequences and dangers of sex, and chill in monogamous relationships.

Should I learn how to crochet, or should I just keep shopping at Am Appy?

This is a post encouraging alternative men to check their testicles for lumps.

* do the self-examination lying in a warm bath or while having a long shower, as this softens the skin of the scrotum (skin sac that holds the testicles), which makes it easier to feel the testicles inside.
* examine the scrotum, looking for any lumps on the skin or swellings inside.
* cradle the whole scrotum and testicles in the palm of your hand and feel the difference between the testicles. One is almost always larger and lying lower. This is completely normal.
* examine each testicle in turn, and then compare them with each other. Use both hands and gently roll each testicle between thumb and forefinger.
* Check for any lumps or swellings as both testicles should be smooth except where the duct that carries sperm to the penis, the epididymis, runs. This lies along the top and back of the testicle and normally feels bumpy.

I sincerely want my readers 2 be healthy. 'Health' (not the band) will become a very relevant topic on this blog as I move forward. I want 2 live 4evr.

Screen urself.

Sorta wish I had a yarn peepee bc yarn doesn't get the cancer. :-(
Don't wanna die.

Want my female readers to be safe, too.

Also important that the aging music critic bros 'get their prostates examined.'

Much like 'unEarthing a buzzband', early detection is critical.

Hey yall,
As u know, I am a huge fan of self-expression [via arts and crafts]. It's like you can take any object and convert it into another more meaningful object, and the transformation process will give you an outlet 4 all of ur thoughts, hopes, and desires. For those of u who didn't go to a school that had arts+crafts activities, u can basically take household items and turn them into functional objects that look kewl.

I was browsing some of the world's most relevant fashion & trend blogs, and saw some kewl arts + crafts that I thought I should 'shine a spotlight on.' If u ever have any interesting craft ideas, please leave them in the comments. I honestly believe that we will only be able to find happiness through self-expression, through some method of design. But if ur not properly educated in 'design', then all u can really do is 'arts and crafts.'

Art + Craft #1: Showing ur faith in The Lord by Creating a safety pin t-shirt for him (a Justice t-shirt)

Photo via thefacehunter

This bro clearly 'loves the Lord', and wanted to make a shirt that was a tribute to our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ. Not every1 is able to mass produce shirts with designs on them, so sometimes you need to take whatever you have around the house and 'make it work.' Sometimes I will squirt toothpaste on my t-shirts in kewl lil designs instead of actually buying a t-shirt that has stuff on it 4ever.

I might make this shirt as an 'activity' with the community Bible Study group that I lead called Teens4Christ.

Art+Craft #2: Rat Tail Extension Kid

Many of yall are familiar with 'rat tails', but u probably didn't know that you could have them on any part of ur body. All u really need to do is create a rat-tail extension kit with safety pins and human hair. This is similar to black women who wear 'weaves', except this is for alternative people. It seems like if you put a rat tail in an 'unexpected place', u will get a better reaction. I have a feeling that 'safety pins' might be one of the most important fashion accessories of the next decade.

Kinda turned on by this, like I would want a girl to use a safety pin + rat tail extension as a clitoris piercing.

Art+Craft #3: A shirt with ur own face on it

Photo via YvanRodic

I am not sure if this is a look for every1, particularly if you are ugly. It seems like ugly people might want to wear a shirt with some1 else's face on it, but that also might make the person seem 'uglier.' This shirt is bold, letting the world know that u are truly 'all about U.' I feel like u have 2 be artistic 2 execute this shirt, or else u will end up looking like a crappy doodle.

'This bro is me.' - u, 2009

Art+Craft #4: Building a body suit out of duct tape and aluminum foil

Photo via drunkenstepfather

I feel like this look might only work for 'curvy ass bitches.' It seems like some1 else might have to make it for you by wrapping your body in duct tape. U might only be able to wear it once.

Art+Craft #5: Metaphorically Lynching urself

I have always wanted to show the world how much pain I have inside of myself, but without 'actually killing myself.' It seems like I don't actually want to kill myself, because that wouldn't really be noticed by enough people, unless I went on 'some sort of death rampage.' I feel like I might build an art+craft where I 'lynch myself', and make it seem like I am dead in public. As if I am Jesus Christ or something, and I was murdered by tons of people who don't 'get' me.

I love 'living' 2 much 2 kill myself, but I really just want the world 2 know that they don't 'get' me. I want them 2 know that they are slowly killing me.

via am appy store

I was browsing the Am Appy store, and I found a kewl new product called 'the bag o scraps.' I think that the concept behind the product is that you can 'create your own meaningful arts and crafts' using Am Appy material/the exclusive Am Appy colour/design palette. Like if you can't afford a real Am Appy t-shirt, you could glue together these scraps to make ur own unique one. Or if you are a free-spirited girl, u can 'let ur imagination run wild' while creating some thing 'beautiful' with the bag-o-scraps.

It seems hard to run a clothing manufacturing company, like there is all of this 'extra shit' left over, but u don't really know what to do with it. Then u hire some 'alternative arts+crafts consultants' to come in with some 'fresh ideas' about how you can brand this waste. Seems like u are just 'jonesing 4 money' in anyway possible, trying to 'liquidate inventory' and 'reduce the bottom line' by 'creating brand synergy' and 'manufacturing efficiencies' while keeping 'fixed costs at a minimum' and creating a 'progressive business culture' where 'ideas are incubated' and ur 'vertically integrated corporate structure' is able to 'make huge margins.'

The bag-o-scraps sorta reminds me of how barbecue restaurants invented a product that is a sandwich made out of the leftovers from beef scraps and the leftover meats that have a 'high fat content.'

The Chopped Beef BBQ sandwich is made up from the scraps and leftover fat cuttings from the 'premium beef products.' They are able to mix all of this 3rd class waste with barbecue sauce, and sell it like it is a 'special recipe', but the people who eat it are actually 'eating pig slop.' It seems important to only eat 'white meat' and possibly red meat that has a 'reasonable fat content.' But I think in America, ppl like to eat unhealthy stuff, and take pride in it.

(What is ur fave kind of BBQ?)

It seems difficult to run a business efficiently. I feel like ideally, there would be no 'leftover scraps' to salvage. But maybe the bag-o-scraps is sorta a lesson about life. Not everything is going to be a perfectly tailored t-shirt in a unique colour sold at an above-market price because ur buying a 'quality brand.' Sometimes u have to take what life gives you--a bag-o-scraps-- and turn it into something beautiful. Maybe life is just a bag-o-scraps, and the individual scraps are the people/mp3s/blogsites/social networks/tweets that make U who U R as an individual.

Might buy a bag-o-scraps and open up an etsy store/ebay thrift store. Seems lucrative. Might open a BBQ restaurant.

'Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. It may be rearranged in space, and changed into different types of particles, and utilized to create meaningful arts, crafts, and branded products.'

Should I make a sweater that is a tribute to my favourite soft drink ? Should I join an Icelandic cult?

Should I make a bloggable painting meme that defies gravity/pixel properties?

Should I start a "Street Team" like a band from 1999?

Or should I build a Puzz3D of a city that I want to move 2 instead of actually moving to it?

Should I get a job at Circuit City? Should I ask to be paid in only flat screen TVs?

Or should I have a child, and then 'get him fucked up' so that he goes viral? Can u sell ur child after he or she 'goes viral'? Or does it help them 2 get into college if they put that they 'went viral' on their college resume?

Just want 2 express myself, yall. Sorry if my gimmicks aren't 'new and exciting' but I still think I'm searching for the same thing.
Miss yall. Wish we could have a bro-chill-session where we just 'talk', 'reflect', and 'make things that will last forever.'

Yall need 2 realize that there's more 2 life than the internet. U can't only exist on the net. U have 2 spend more time improving your real life brand. It's life, yall--u only get 1 chance to truly show the world 'what ur all about.'

Just wanted 2 share a meaningful art & craft with u. I know every1 is pumped about Barres Obama getting into the 'Black House', so thought I might share this tribute art & craft challenge.

What u need:

• Crayola Markers
• Military Costume from the 1700s.
• Swaddling Cloth or miscellaneous wrapping cloth
• Leader with a catchy name who represents hope

Step 1: Put on ur jacket. Write a song abt how 'u used 2 rule the world.'
Step 2: Wrap a lil cloth around your arm, making a meaningful arm band
Step 3: Figure out a creative way 2 symbolize/create a tribute 2 some1 who represents something that you want 2 'let the world know that u appreciate.'
Step 4: Talk 2 people abt ur art & craft. How u made it. Why u made it. All that kinda stuff.

This is your what your final product should look at.

Does n e 1 know what this stands 4?

Should I make 1 for my blog website?

Email me if yall have n e good recipes, arts & crafts ideas, or other authentic d.i.y. procedures. Think I'm gonna stop blogging about alt crap and start blggng about meaningful crafts, etc.

Or should I just buy Hot Topic / emo /mainstream bro wristbands?

Or stick with LIVINGSTRONG?

Or just fake an injury to get attention and have people who would never ordinarily talk 2 me 'sign my cast'?

Miss u Gwenny

Yall, we have already established that the American Appy 'shiny headband' is the calling card for female entry-level alts.

However, as females continue to search for meaning & authenticity, will they come up with new headband styles that show their dedication to 'being unique.' For example, this button headband is something that I never could have thought of that creates a personal brand that I couldn't have imagined in my wildest alternative dreams.

She has a really 'i'm gonna tug u' look to her, doesn't she? Is it g00d or bad when girls have 'that look in they eye.'

I haven't seen a headband that innovative since the double headband. Do u learn how to make stuff like this at the Project Runway University (New Jersey Campus)? I got autoaccepted there because they really liked a painting I did.

I am a big fan of self-expression, which is why I love fashion, music, and other alt stuff so much. I am an ardent support of the arts (& crafts). I wonder if it's cooler to make a hat out of a rare, highly coveted vinyl, or if it's better to just use a crappy one, since there's a chance that you might scratch the record.

Would you prefer the 7 inch model or the 12 inch model of the 'Record Hat'? I am considering starting a company that makes hats and caps out of minidisc players, cassette tapes, and Microsoft Zunes.

This might be my favourite female summer look so far.

I think generic accessories such as wristbands, necklaces, or sunglasses are sort of like Level 1 "LOOK @ ME" Props. It's always important to take your LOOK @ ME factor the at least level 3. Making your own prop makes it clear that you are 300% deliberate about creating your personal brand.

(Note: There are 5 Levels on the LOOK@ME Scale.)

Does any one who has listened to electronic music for more than a year know how lightning bolts became co-branded withe electro-music? Is it a metaphor? Is the LIGHTNING BOLT the best symbol for electro?
