Still searching 4 my ideal Hallowen Costume

Carles — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:30:39 +0000

Halloween is coming up in just a lil bit.
Kinda getting anxious about ‘what I’m gonna be.’ I might have to go to the doctor to tell him I need some more of my anti-anxiety pills cuz I srsly can’t handle this kind of pressure. H8 dealing with real life + issues that no1 else understand.

N e ways… what should I be for Halloween?

Think I might end up just being DarkHearted Mickey Mouse.

I might just settle for being a Hotdog/ popular DJ with dancing edible items. I heard having dancing objects is the new MASKED DJs. PNAU implemented this gimmick a while ago.

Should I be a ‘think piece’ costume that represents Crimes Against Animals?

Should I just make a costume of an animal utilizing real animal fur? If I end up doing that, I might be a panda/polar bear/manatee.

should I be Girl Talk on a bicycle going to pick up some xtreme MTN DEW at his local grocery store?

Or maybe just a Black Eyed Pea Alt. (blipster)

Maybe I’ll just be Alice Glass in 20 years.

Unless yall speak up, I’m just gonna be Juicetise.

Do yall have a costume yet?

The Altest Couple On Earth?

Does the altest couple on Earth wear Palestinian scarves as a display of unity & oneness in their relationship? Instead of ‘asking some1 out’, should we just start presenting the relationshipee with some sort of accessory that we both plan on wearing for the duration of our 6 month relationship?

Do yall prefer to be the relationshipor or the relationshipee when it comes 2 starting a relaish?

Or is the Altest Couple In the World a GHEY couple?

Instead of trying to find some1 that we are ‘compatible’ with, should we all just try to find some form of a SUGARDADDY? Every1 wants a father figure who will take care of u and give ur life a lil bit of direction. There’s nothing wrong with one man setting the values by which you live your life. Even if ur father abandoned u and ur mother, u can be confident that another man will be willing to step in and give u the exact same controlling-yet-loving experience that dads give their kidz.

Is it time to give up on searching for your alternative soulmate? It might be, yall. Maybe soul can’t always meet body, so u sometimes just have to ‘look out for urself.’

I need 2 find more electroSugarDaddies . Do yall know where I can find any?

When I go out with my core group of friends, we unintentionally look like a popular indie band

It’s important to always remember that the people you hang out with are sometimes a better representation of ‘YOU’ than you are. Whether you are in a herd of altBros, or in a situation where you are only seen in public with your long-term-Alt-significant-other, being with people who look as interesting & deliberate as u is very important.

When people say ‘u look like ur in a band’, it means that you are some one who is on the cutting edge of culture from the perception of some1 who doesn’t know much about modern culture, but would like to learn more abt it from u (since u l00k pretty interesting and creative). “Looking like you’re in a band” isn’t a look for every one. The people who will admire you are usually entry-level alts or mainstreamers-who-are-infatuated-with-alternative culture (and listen to a lot of mainstream indie rock circa 2k4.5)

True alts definitely don’t want to look like they are in a band or hang out with people who look like they are in a band. SRSLY…do u want to look like the Strokes? Interpol? Kings of Leon? The Black Kids? Blink 182? Puddle of Mudd? Miscellaneous zany band? Miscellaneous British rock band? Miscellaneous mixed gender band? Miscellaneous art-rock band? Miscellaneous lo-fi conceptual band?

True Alts would rather look:

homeless
parentless
tragic mctragtrag
genderless
fashionsenseless
starved
like they are in a cult
like they are from the past/future/post-future

Girls can only look like ‘they are in a band’ when they are in a group of guys-who are dressed like they are in a band, which you can tell by looking at the photo above.
A group of girls who would theoretically be ‘dressed like they are in a band’ probably just look like a herd of girls who are eager to be in LongTermRelationships with altBros. (a.k.a. they just look like a gaggle of altSkanks). This is mainly because it’s hard to view a girl who ‘dresses trendily’ as being some1 who is genuinely creative/interesting. (unless ur Miranda July)

‘Looking like you’re in a band’ will come back and haunt you eventually. If you look like you are in a band beyond 30, your personal brand will automatically be converted into ‘trying-too-hard cool dad‘ or ‘out-of-touch-with-reality free-spirited mom.’

I love when members of bands wear the t-shirt of another band. That’s something that 6th graders see, and subconsciously post-identify with the band even more.

Is there such thing as being ‘post-post-post-fashionable’?

Carles — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:59:00 +0000

I know that u can be post-anything, but I think this guy is post-post-post-fashionable. Does that defy the laws of logic? Does society have room for a philosophical space to exist that can handle some one that post-transcends fashion?

This bro is post-post-post-fashionable because of his:

modern wedge haircut
free spirited cargo shorts
drawstring instead of belt
clog-ish sandals
white socks
wearing socks with sandals
post-metrosexual laptop bag (probably containing a non-Mac laptop)
a non-functional wrap around the waist
a conceptual Oxford button-down shirt
a post-post-conceptual clean shaven face

I am just so intrigued by fashion, and what it all means, and how it links to your personal brand. It’s kind of like when u r a kid, and u buy a baseball cap of ur favourite team (this also applies to high school dropouts who listen to rap).

The Craftiest Girl Alive

Carles — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:50:00 +0000

I’ve always wondered what I could do to be a ‘more free-spirited’ person. Should I doodle on my wrist with a red pen? Should I take weekend arts&crafts classes? Should I buy a sewing machine? Should I quit my job at a coffee shop to prepare my portfolio for design/fashion/architecture school? Should I only wear the same colour AA shirt every day? Which colour would make me seem the most authentic? What can I do to make sure that every one knows that I know how to express who I am? Who am I? What do I even believe in? I feel s0 limited in self-expression. It’s like I can only buy things to represent ‘the real me.’

I wish it could be as simple as making a kute quilt dress with computer keyboard keys glued on to the straps.

Another Girl Who Slept Over at her BF’s last nite

Carles — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:24:00 +0000

I wish I had a meaningful GF who would wear my Oxford shirts to run errands the day after she slept over at my studio apartment. These large button-up shirts are required to be XXL in order to function as a ‘dress.’ It seems that she is on her way into a Tailor/alterations shop in order to fix her bf’s shirt, though. Hopefully she doesn’t make any changes without his consent. Hate it when BFs/GFs do that!

The last girl who wore her BF’s shirt wore leggings and didn’t utilize a belt. I wonder which 1 is better for an on-the-go lifestyle.

Would it be offensive to buy ur alternative GF these as a Birthday Gift?

Maybe if u include a pair of leggings, she’ll appreciate u for ‘truly caring abt the way she looks.’ Sit down with your partner and discuss how ‘conveying your alt-ness with fashion choices’ is an important element of life that both of you value. Don’t just get her a Chili’s giftcard–she already expects you to take her to Chili’s on her BD. That’s just part of ‘being serious’ with some1 special.
