"Tiny Man, Huge Ego"

So, the devil wears Prada... I've been reviewing this dated yet, lovely movie. i like it. my favorite scene was when Andy snickered about two belts that looked similar during a review. Miranda then explains the fashion chain of command that led to Andy's cerulean sweater. As external as it may be, fashion, "is more than art, its what [we] live in...well, some people."

Interestingly, it's what innovators do even on the ground level that influences the fashion world. Military jackets which are in/going out of style were big in the conscious circles. My first exposure to fashion reflecting life was when i saw a Dior collection about two years ago (don't quote me) of RED, GREEN, and YELLOW stripes integrated with earth tones on bags and belts. Of course I'd seen sects of the "earthy," artistic, and Caribbean/ Afro-centric communities splashed with these colors for years... What a morning that was! I believe I was watching a morning news program one summer before work. Hm. Then it was camouflage. How interesting that a style popularized by Boot Camp Clique and other military minded hip hop groups of the mid-late 90s made its way to the runway. Over the past two summers I've seen pockets of euro-American families draped in BDU-inspired prints. Hm. Then it was hats... big-apple styles of the rasta/locked hair communities that was in. Heck, even in the movie Andrea sports a girl's golfer/apple styled cap.

The arts/hipster community has always been big on color contrasts... Y'all remember the 80s? These days I see pumps of all bright shades, bags of solid brilliance, and top-coats throughout the winter that stand out amongst dark shades in suits and sweaters.

Interesting flow... a give and take indeed.
So, in being myself, which always seems to keep me conservatively classic, I'm learning to appreciate the world we live in the same breath as preparing for a career in patient care.

"So where are these fabulous copies?"
"With the twins, on their way to grandma's Is there anything else I can do"
"m -m, that's all."

-love it.
