Life is a cabaret, so come to the cabaret...

Today we're having a Cabaret party, mixed with Eurovision! I've taken some inspiration for my dress from this gorgeous woman that I really adore, Lousie Brookes.

"The Clone Wars"

Following Laia's topic from yesterday, I decided that I want to express my opinion about the un-originality between bloggers and the rising of something that I call "The Clone Wars" (yes, I'm a freak, and I was writing about Lost today, but I'll leave it for tomorrow).

As you all may know by now, I'm studying a postgraduate about coolhunting for the fashion industry. So, first of all, what a coolhunter do?

As a coolhunter, you must observe the mainstream of the streets; I mean, what people wear every day and almost in every occasion, the shapes, colours, clothes, makeup, hairs, shoes; separately and all together... and not only what people wear on the streets of your city, but also all around the world; so as you can imagine, the internet is one of our tools, and blogs, street snaps and things like that are a meeting point of this.

But, as a coolhunter, you work with the things that are different and that may work with the mainstream. Yes, we took something original and use it for inspiring designers, stylish and people from the fashion world. And we can do this because there are original people.

But as Laia mentioned yesterday, I've realized that between bloggers, the almost most "famous" are the ones who copy one style from another: the catalogue of the brand, some idols (Alexa Chung, for example, is one of the models that I've seen that people copy a lot) or another blogger more famous... and I mean, do this people know something about the meaning of "inspiration"?

Inspiration:

n.

1. Stimulation of the mind or emotions to a high level of feeling or activity.

2. The condition of being so stimulated.

2. An agency, such as a person or work of art, that moves the intellect or emotions or prompts action or invention.

3. Something, such as a sudden creative act or idea, that is inspired.

4. The quality of inspiring or exalting: a painting full of inspiration.

5. Divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humankind.

6. The act of drawing in, especially the inhalation of air into the lungs.

So I can't understand why people don't follow bloggers that contains a big amount of this instead of people who only copy looks from magazines or other people... what's the meaning of that? That has no merit for me.

The good part of this is that the "clone bloggers", sooner or later, would be forget... and the original ones would remain in the mind of those who really appreciate originality, the designers and the people who want to innovate into the fashion world, not the only ones who want to be famous. 

A long time ago, I took the slogan from one of the Hugo Boss spots as a way of life. And I'm gonna use it until the end of it. Because fantasy, creativity and originality can live between the mainstream; they're the big flowers in a field full of grass...

Don't imitate, innovate. 

And this post is for those boys and girls who inspires me (as the definition from above said) every day, those normal people who shows their lives in pieces by internet, regardless always being perfect or going into the latest fashion:

My beloved Elin, from Elinkan

Sandra, from Niotillfem; thank you!

The gorgeous Elsa, from Need help dressing?

And this adorable girl that you all may know

and wants to feel like a doll ;)

You know what I'm going to say right now, but I think that this time matches perfectly with us. 

We can be more or less "famous". We really don't care. We love fashion and it's our way to express ourselves. And the most important thing: 

We're not here to please you.

Thanks for reading.

This Drama

About This Drama:

"Yes, you know how it works. The beginning, the process, the magic... boring. Then, the promo stuff, the product, the lie. Man, being in a rock'n'roll band is really cool.
This Drama has been out there for a while. Born and raised on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic, we all meet when we were young, at shows, rehearsals, spending our time together in some shitty bands. Sweet.
We have put out a few records and cd's, done some tours, cancelled a couple of shows including a hippy summertime festival. We have played for 25000 people. We have played for 3 people. You all should have seen us play. Always exhausted. We used to wish it would never end.
Many people love what we do. Most hate it. We do not give a shit about 'the scene', about 'the kids'. Yes, especially those wearing their own band t-shirts.

So what are we? what do we do now? The music will flow.

Fuck your local scene. Or something."

(read more about the band and see some gorgeous pictures)

Hate the world, it's so romantic (young savage!)

Hot weather is here and my bad temper goes out with it... yes, you know that I'm a "nordic girl", I love winter, I love rain, snow and grey skies... sunny days are ok, but without hot are better!!

(see more pink dress here)

A sarcastic hello...

I've discovered Anni B Sweet, a lovely girl from Malaga with an adorable voice that sings cute songs for people who likes the small things. She's made a lovely cover from Take on me by A-Ha, and has got some other cute songs... have a look at them, please!

Punk or mod? Why not both?

Last Saturday I did two things that were so opposite, but both were related to music.

Because If I can't dance, I don't want your revolution...

I think that everybody around here knows about my love for Sweden, almost since I was a child. But the point of this is that, with the past of the time, I've discovered that some of my very favourite bands are Swedish too... so this is a short list I've made for you with them!
