saw this in fren's blog
tot it was interesting
so here it goes
SOCIAL COMMENTARYdisclaimer: if the following short contents r likely to miff ur sensibilities (ha!) or bring slander to ur idol or watever hang ups u hav, or ur jus a narrowminded turd in general, pls go boil ur head now. the following blog is a humourous erm, slightly bitchy commentary on our sporean dress sense. it does not represent entirely our culture, its only PART of wat we usually see. u can disagree wid me, ur opinion might defer, but keep it entirely between u and ur imaginery fren. otherwise enjoy ; )
im sure many of us take a road down orchard road wid half a mind on ur fren's conversation, another half on how ur hair is n er another teeny part on wat ppl on the streets wear. (im not particularly good at maths. but anyway) wat singaporeans wear really is diversed. im talking abt our age grp. yes in between 18 to 65.
no jus kidding. most likely 16 to 24. n most of us will fit in one way or another, or a mixture of diff styles when it comes to clothes. n yes clothes does make a diff, it decides on who u attract, who u are and tells us how much money ur daddy makes in a month. hehe
n sometimes there r jus some styles tt we cant ignore. i dont noe abt the rest of the world but i noe i cant. sometimes a certain type of ppl jus stands out n demand my attention n i will be momentarily busy mentally restraining myself frm cutting them wid papercuts to their throats n wrists shouting "WAT WERE U THINKING?!?!"
ok outburst there.it is worth my time to talk abt this cos its also a whole set of thinking behind these diff grps of ppl.
first off, lets start wid a bunch tt hav suddenly popped out frm nowhere within these few yrs. my frens call them
The Trendies
Trendies r ppl who r Different frm us. now i emphasize on Different. cos they r so different, they hav to hav different look, different taste in music, different underwear, different clothes, different everything. n the best thing abt them is tt they hav such a healthy sense of self esteem tt it didnt occur to them tt UR as DIFFERENT AS THE NEXT TRENDY U IDIOT. ur so unique, u look exactly like ur trendy fren! hey wat a new concept. look up Unique in the dictionary.
they listen to obscure bands n read obscure books. anything to make them different, they will know it. so lets say, their typical conversation will be like this:
"yeah i fcuking hate Noamica for not selling me those tics to Glateci's gig. like fcuk man, i wanted to go wid my scene* girls n cant."
point to note. they hav cool names. like so cool, u haven heard of it before. n they always hav a concert they hav to go, a gig happening somewhere somehow. n they end their sentences coolly. its jus all so cool. different ma.
n the girls. they dont clean their mouth after eating n they hav a rice stuck to the side of their mouth. no la jus kidding. its their piercing. u noe the kind of piercing not like mine. mine is a labret. SYMMETRICAL to my face. they hav it at the side.
n they hav so much eyeliner on, their frens wont recognise them when they peel off the 5 inch thick makeup.
i give simple illustration.
to spot them, look out for the following: tiny sling bag, black or vintage tops, wid slogan. hair carefully waxed to look messy but carefully n artisticly so. n it is short. rolled up jeans, studded belts, rice piercing, a gallon of eyeliner. n of course tt cool attitude. got cool attitude is a good dude.
though this is not to be confused wid the malay minahs.
the second kind tt is emerging rather proudly in our society r the cute cakeskirts.readers will erm.. by now noe wat im talking abt by cakeskirts.there r 2 kinds. jc n others. im talking abt the act cute kind.take a simple (not skillful) illustration of
the Actcute Cakeskirts.
urgh
yes i used cyndi wang cos she is the epitome of demureness i wanna kill her wid my hp's radiation. these ppl will be so cute, u really feel like stabbing a rabbit infront of them.
they r dressed in pink. obviously they watch too much taiwanese idol soap serials. pink pink pink. furry pink. cutsey pink. damn cute the worz~
n their hps wil hav the really adorable soft toy. in my pic, i drew something, im not sure wat, but if its furry n cute, they will like it. they listen to cyndi wang n mouth the intricate n mind boggling lyrics to 5566's newest songs in their slp. when they're drunk, they're likely to burst into emotional rendition of jolin tsai's 72 transformation. or jaychou's something something.
n they tYpE lIkE tHiS dE wOrZ~ lOlx~ =)
its nothing new, so i wont elaborate too much here.
n then there are the queenbees.
THE CAKESKIRTS.
URGH!
AHA! i used lindsay lohan cos she is the best representative i can think of. her best assets r her dress sense, it is able to draw ppl into looking at her teenage impossible voluptous body n their notorious silicon valley which has its own postal code and fansite.
i wont elaborate too much once again cos its already been too much on my blog.but hey, lets hav a checklist.
small flouncy flirty skirt? check.small tote bag (perhaps something branded daddy bought??) check.small tight top or white something?? check.small kitten heels strictly no more than 2 inch high??
check.girlish! nubile! nymph-like! bubblegum! pop!speaks strictly english, hair brush and totebags each sold separately.batteries not included, comes wid own bf in tow and clubbing mates.
BUT of course there r The Elites (pun unintended). the creme de la creme. the top drawer.
The Models.
gasp
for this grp. i will keep silent abt them. shhhhh...dont disturb them cos its they're busy standing ard looking really posh n silent. shhhhh.....
dont get them riled up or they might jus step on u. no wait shhh... dont talk abt them... shh..... they wont look at u cos the world up there quite high, the air so much fresher too. but wait shhhh..... dont disturb them, they r busy now. dont talk to them cos we all noe sound waves travel in a straight line n if ur not 1.9 tall, dont try it. shhhh
