Fashion Updates

Well as anticipated, straighten-er has not touched the scalp of most girls in quite a while. Miss S.V.G will u please hurry up and get over with!
Apart from the Ms. SVG factor, does it seem that most of our college members have given up on fashion? Or is it the fact that upper six is gone and there are no longer people to impress…
C.R.F urges everyone to get on track! WHO says we can’t learn while being fashionably clad?!

Better News:

1..We see a certain mo-hawked male has added stars to his do. At least someone still cares about style!
2. Another male was also seen today with pink head-phones, pink bandana and a pink hand band.
Props to u both for the courage to pull that off!
Tonight is going to b short since college getting boring. Since upper-six left have we disintegrated fashion-wise/entertainment-wise?

GET OVER IT PEOPLE…

Friday, May 23, 2008

This week was full of anticipation for the generally fronted members of our college (myself included) who wanted to see how “she” was going to come with her hair now that she was missing a couple chunks. All mouths dropped open when we saw that the braids were out and she was rocking a sleek new do and looking absolutely fab-ulous! Inquiring minds are only concerned about the straightener application process- OUCH!

On to other news, it seems that our college members are finally getting the gist of mixing and matching. We saw a certain locally known Mona-Lisa rocking purple to the fullest and looking mighty fine if I must say so myself.

Other members of the student body seem to have given up on hair these days and even some boys who are usually nice and trimmed are sprouting hair. This should all be solved by Saturday though when they touch down at Mz. S.V.G to give their support to the ladies/lime (more the latter).

Speaking of Ms. SVG, ladies it is no longer necessary to dress as if you are going in for the show. Gone are the days when ladies had to wear sequined dresses and stilettos to the show.
Keep it simple, and don’t go too far out of your comfort zone- if you’re uncomfortable people will know and your discomfort will show rather than whatever fancy get-up you’re in. A dark jean and a nice top, some hot accessories, a hot hairstyle and a lot of confidence are perfect for the show.

REMEMBER YOU WEAR THE OUTFIT, DON’T LET IT WEAR YOU.

Hair Tips 101

At the beginning of college, it was clear that 95% if not all the students were of some sort of African descent. Since when did black people start sprouting RED hair? Red is a beautiful colour…but really, too much of anything is annoying! When there’s the rare occurrence of assembly you can’t stop seeing red! Who doesn’t have red hair tips, has a completely RED back head.Newsflash: There are OTHER colours suitable for streaks- Dark Brown..Medium Brown...Chestnut Brown..Ash Brown...Golden Brown....Dark Blonde..Light Strawberry Blonde..Dark Strawberry Blonde..Ash Blonde....Grey (if you wanna channel your inner grandma J)...Burnt Orange..and the list goes on and on! If your excuse for having red hair is “I want to express ma creativity,” Let me be the first to tell you; HAVING THE SAME HAIR COLOUR AS LIKE 30% OF THE SCHOOL AIN’T NOTHIN SPECIAL. Should I bleach my hair?While hair bleaching is not advisable, we’re young and we do want to experiment with different looks. If you ARE going to bleach your hair try not to bleach the entire thing (the ends are a good option becoz they can be easily chopped off). Already bleached hair?Bleach does significantly damage hair, but if you’ve already done it you can take care of it to ensure your hair doesn’t fall out by the chunks. Keep your hair well moisturized. There are special moisturizers and hair relaxers for colour treated hair- NO they’re not EXPENSIVE (well...not really lol). Remember to treat your hair as often as possible!!

Skirt Mania??

Everyone knows that college skirts were NEVER in fashion. We can all remember saying “eww” under our breaths or in some other way expressing our disapproval with anyone who was seen patrolling the streets of Kingstown in their skirts. WHAT HAPPENED?
History of skirt wearing: Skirts were at first only allowed to be worn by persons with some religious band from the original pant uniform and needed to have some sort of clothing.
Skirt wearing today: Today we see a wide assortment of skirts –boxed pleats, fine pleats, short skirts, super-short skirts…and let’s not forget LONG skirts.
Why the sudden change?!

Now, I’m not saying that some of these skirts don’t look good, infact, certain lower six persons have been credited with rocking the skirt with a certain finesse BUT some persons clearly have made the WRONG uniform choices, and, either need to get OUT of their skirt or save $24 and link themselves up with some plaid material.

How do I know which uniform is right for me?
Narrow hips with “booty”: The skirt is a good option for you. You can however make a pant that is a little closer at the ankle (skinny jean-ish) to give the illusion of more hips.
Bootylicious: Since we are living in a society where “booty” is an important asset, you can play this up by wearing a pant that is fitted but has enough room to pinch. Make your pant looser. YES I said LOOSER!! Many persons think that making their pants tighter gives the illusion of more ass-ets but it does the opposite. Super tight pants may actually flatten the tush.
Ms. NoBooty: Wear a skirt! Please ensure that you do not use too much material because it makes you look like you’re swimming in clothing.

So 2nd years are like home doing their do, but that doesn’t mean that we cant keep an eye out for their fashion YEAHs and NEaHs. SO HOW was sKool todAY yall? LolDon’t answer THAT.
It was interesting today while I was keeping an eye out to see 2nd years in uniform and others in casual wear. I was told that computing students were required to wear skool uniform for their computing classes. What a drag…The others were basically ran off the compound since they were in casual clothes…how unfortunate?Yes, unfortunate seeing that some of them had to deal with critical subject related matters.

How could a ‘learning institution’ as quoted by many stand to have students who either came to learn or get important info for subs outside of the compound simply because they are not in uniform. Big newsflash ppl…some of them don’t really have skool. And if they had to leave the compound because of that petit reason then other persons whether visitors, student or member of staff should be ran off the bad waste of good space called the skool compound.Inquiring minds must ask though….do the teachers and other members of staff have a dresscode they must follow? And do they follow it? I would really like to know if tight pants and cleavage is accepted? And what about jeans? No one told us about pay and wear on Wednesdays. Just didn’t get the memo

To be honest, if u ponder on the whole issue of the college dresscode nad how it is rapidly chaging in terms of rules u would be amazed.We want a hand out ppl of the does and donts of the college dress better yet keep the handout and let us do what we do best...WEAR YOU OUT! Did u fallow yofashion Saturday? I did …for a short while and I must say dispite the lack of party goers, the art room did their thing and I sure had fun. Then I was off to chapeze to link up with a couple friends to see who was decked down in white that nite. Jammed weekend but it was really good. Style you later!

Fashion Flubbs, Chubbs and Everything in Between

Since CRF was out for sometime I took the liberty in noticing this weeks fashion flubs and a lot more.

I know the “permanent markser” was already discussed but what is up with her hair. Thanks to the invention of ‘pom-poms’ she can slick back her dead as hell hair into a pony tail and dress it down with her suits which by the comes in a wide assortment of colours and pocket styles. With fashion being such a diverse thing I couldn’t help but mentioning her near butter colour, irregular and jagged teeth. I hate to wonder what in that mouth would smell like.

The recently concluded communication studies exams brought numerous invigilators to our doors. Who ever said red hair was out was so right. What was the head thinking, if she was at all? Yes she’s old but so is my grandma. Also worth mentioning is M1’s invigilator, she needs Rogaine, fast! On a more positive note though, one of our comm... Studies teachers was seen sporting yellow and blue (navy) on Wed. and Leopard prints on Thursday, if only and she was wearing some stilettos.

Also noticeable is the oh so big group, Chubb Club, some of them really live up to the acrostic for FAT (Fabulous And Thick) while a certain unfortunate looking one lives or should I say dresses the ‘fat stereotype’. Sweetheart, not because SVG just experienced the pencil foot era mean u going wear it in your uniform. It aint for you!

Today was a high day in fashion. Many hair raising ideas took to the stands as the fowl, yes the animal you love to eat, got competition from a certain young lady who roamed the streets of Kingstown in a hair extension nothing shy of disgusting thinking she was hot. Because I didn’t attend afternoon classes today, I got the opportunity to meet this young lady who rivals the macaroni, wearing her one worn out pencil foot jeans at least; it wasn’t borrowed, or was it now? This afternoon, a certain young rising soca star who attends the college strutted her stuff right pass the security in her tube top and skinny jeans that she had to literally jump into.

A serious problem that must be assessed by the students of the college is the “nerd look”. For crying out loud people, not because you think you at the top of your class, you going dressed in slacks and ankle length pants.

Remember, the star can go both ways, just watch what you wear!
