OMG, somebody please help me and get the song out of my head!
I’ve been singing Lady Gaga’s Just Dance whole day.
Actually just two parts of the song since I dont know the lyrics
part 1) “Red Wine. Gaga. I’ve had a little bit too much, much”
part 2) “dada-doodoo-mmm”

Which song is currently stuck in your head?
Shareee so we can all sing along :D

Hello, Im a journalism student and I’m creating a fashion magazine as one of my assignments that’s pretty similar to Company. I was wondering if you’d be able to fill out my market research survey, it’ll only take two seconds and would help me out a lot with my research!

You can find the survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VMQ3JWY

Thanks in advance!

I absolutely love YouTube and some of my personal favorites are CutiePieMarzia, PewdiePie, Emma Blackery, and Smosh. What are your favorites, and do you recommend any? Remember, you can put anything from fashion to gaming, from how-to’s to vlogs, pretty much anything! :3

I really like Beirut and Phoenix. Any band suggestions that are similar to these?

Thanks!

Kindly lemme know.
Thanks. ^^

I’ve been wanting to learn more design/fashion history…Anyone have anything they can share?

Face it every store isn’t for everybody, Torrid isn’t meant for slim chick and A&F isn’t meant for larger women. If they didn’t market for you, why are you upset? Why can’t you just go to another store? If you say it’s the principle, then why is it ok for plus sized women to exclude women of a smaller frame?

Which one do you prefer? I love snowboarding! (I tried skiing once, and it just went really really bad..)

All over the U.S. we are encouraging women to love their body’s curves and society is embracing them back! This movement is amazing because we are no longer saying beauty is a set size. However, we have taken this movement a bit to far. We have gone from liking and praising women of all shapes and sizes to only praising women who are only a larger size, no matter if they’re healthy or not. We’ve gone from loving thicker women,who is healthy and still fit to loving women who are simply fat just because they’re not societies typical beauty. We can not tell the difference and tell that all larger women are healthier, and better people. No matter their health condition we wouldn’t tell a larger women (or male) to lose weight, or even get a salad, because it may hurt their feelings and we’re trying to accept them for who they really are. But where does that get us?

I came across this article last year some time and almost cried. I was so impressed that I found the article again so I could use it for my psychology paper. I absolutely love the idea! Gender identification and roles lay behind so many social issues. I’m not saying that you should walk around “genderless” but I think this preschool is nipping many problems in the bud. I cringe when I hear a child say “but boys are supposed to……” or “boys dont play with dolls” or “I’m a girl, girls wear pink. Boys don’t” and other things along those lines. What do you think about this program? Here’s a part of the article here:

“At the “Egalia” preschool, staff avoid using words like “him” or “her” and address the 33 kids as “friends” rather than girls and boys.

From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don’t fall into gender stereotypes.

“Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing,” says Jenny Johnsson, a 31-year-old teacher. “Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be.”

The taxpayer-funded preschool which opened last year in the liberal Sodermalm district of Stockholm for kids aged 1 to 6 is among the most radical examples of Sweden’s efforts to engineer equality between the sexes from childhood onward.

Breaking down gender roles is a core mission in the national curriculum for preschools, underpinned by the theory that even in highly egalitarian-minded Sweden, society gives boys an unfair edge.

To even things out, many preschools have hired “gender pedagogues” to help staff identify language and behavior that risk reinforcing stereotypes.

Some parents worry things have gone too far. An obsession with obliterating gender roles, they say, could make the children confused and ill-prepared to face the world outside kindergarten."

What do you think?

This is something that has been bothering me for quite some time now. There are classes here in the Philippines that give weekend sessions to learn photography but I can’t quite do it because (1) I don’t own a DSLR camera [a requirement for the class], (2) I don’t have the money to buy one and enroll in that class.

I know it’s pretty pathetic, but with this new job, I can now get that camera and enroll in that class. Question is: Is it still worth it? With the constant upgrading of technology, I keep fearing that the camera I’d purchase would be out of date before I knew it. As you may notice, I do not like bad investments.

That photography dream has been on for over two years now. I know I should do it, otherwise I’d spend the rest of my life regretting not doing it. But is the equipment still worth investing on even if it changes every 6 months?

Thanks, y’all. :)

Just bought my passes to coachella music festival in april.SUPER EXCITED. Just wondering if anyone else was going and what are they planing to wear and who they are excited to see play????

What’s your type? Physical and personality wise?

I love guys that are probably between 2-5 years older than me. He has to be taller than me in my highest heels. I am a total sucker for facial hair! Those things are what first attracts me to that person, however I’m not shallow. I love guys in all shapes an sizes :)
I like guys that have that shy personality when in all reality they’ll talk to anyone. It’s no doubt he has to be funny without being ridiculously immature. I like guys who are leaders, but aren’t cocky. Someone who has a good head on their shoulders, has dreams and goals to back those dreams up. There’s so much more, but that’s really all I can think of right this very moment.

So, how about you?

I am waiting for that day when I have my own walk in closet. I would definitely put in a huge mirror in there with hardwood floors and possibly spotlights. It would be machine operated where I would have a remote to browse through my clothes as it’s revolving and everything would be sort of high tech. But that’s only a future dream.

How would you want your ideal closet to look like?

I can’t pick a favorite…lol

I personally feel so bad for her. I would cry my eyes out if this happened to me.

So, I’ve been watching this new series, Catfish (on MTV), and I’m pretty addicted. If you’re just like me and are wondering what this show’s about – it’s basically a documentary series about online relationships. Each week, the show features one person who will meet their “online love” for the first time!

And so far, the people featured have been talking to their “online love” for almost a year, and it’s made me wonder – what are your thoughts on online dating?

2) Do you think that Brazilian style as a whole is becoming more sophisticated?
3) How important is wearing big name brands for Brazilian’s in general?

This would be a great help in my project, Thank you :)

On the other side of the world (EAST part to be exact), many people are celebrating LUNAR NEW YEAR. Lots of festivities, good food, and holiday vacays.

Do you guys celebrate? : )

Aside from regular hotels and motels, I recently learned that there are igloo hotels which absolutely blew my mind! Though, i really dislike cold weather, I would actually want to try it one day. You can view the interiors of the igloo: “http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/50801/iglu-dorf+hotel+rooms+made+of+snow+go+for+gulp+170+to+580/”

Would you ever check in at a igloo hotel?

Am I the only one annoyed by people who talk about “fashion” all the time but have no style? Maybe I’m just easily annoyed. I think there’s a huge difference in the two. Style is a way of life whereas fashion isn’t nearly as complex a concept. Fashion is somewhat a part of style but style goes further than just “noticing fashion”.Ex. I notice fashion trends and celebrity fashion which I can talk about all day but LIVING style is embracing who I am and conveying that through my style of dress. I also understand that living style is a process.

Do you think there’s a difference between the two? If so, what is the difference?
(I welcome all opinions….even if they are totally opposite of mine)

Hey Chictopians,

I was wondering if any of you ever heard of Dapper Day, it’s this really cool event where you basically dress up all dapper and go to Disneyland with a bunch of other Dapper looking people! If you are interested you should check out they’re website! dapperday.com

I’m really excited to go! I just need to figure out what I want to wear! This year it is on Feb 24th!

To move out or not to move out? I find this topic very interesting because I realize this is a cultural thing. I grew up in Asia so it was common for children to live with their parents until they got married. When I moved to the states I see people moving out from the early age of 18. This came as quite a surprise to me at first (18 year olds? really – no offense).

What do you think about this, and if you were to have children when do you expect them to move out?

Hey any illustrators out there? I thought here would be a good place to share our work with one another and get feedback on our work! I’ll start things off by providing a link to my newest illustration which I just put up on my blog: http://www.thecuratorial.com/2013/01/new-artwork.html

When i was younger, I would go ice skating every week. I still go from time to time now, but my favorite winter activity now would have to be snowboarding. It’s just so thrilling!

What is your favorite winter activity?

Happy New Year, everybody!

As always, with a new year upon us, we are in the dire need to make new year resolutions. While I personally tend to not like new year resolutions (because I tend to break them haha) I’m going to really TRY my darn hardest to at least fulfill 80% of my list.

Here are a few of my new year resolutions;

1. Try to eat healthy
2. Exercise
3. Go out more with friends (quality time is a GREAT way to de-stress by the way)
4. Update blog/Chictopia blog!

What are yours?

What are your top five fashion colours? (The colours that suit you, the colours that you often wear, the colours that look special, the colours that make you feel good or maybe your favourite colours?)

Mine:
1. Brown
2. Green
3. Cyan/Aqua/Blue
4. Violet

These earthly colours make me look down to earth and make my clothes look more profound and real. ;) And.. green is my fav colour btw :D

How do you feel about vegan fashionistas wearing second-hand leather? Is it acceptable for girls who shun leather, wool, cashmere, etc, to wear leather products they find at Goodwill or in a thrift store?
