I’m attempting to experiment with listicles, cause that’s how
you get views, or at least according to Buzzfeed.
Sidenote: It took me ages to decide between all the awesome
photos of cool stuff
1)
Henna
As much as I love how awesome tattoos can look It has
also occurred to me that A) I don’t want to brand myself with some cheap
gimmick that I thought was cool for the time and B) normal tats seem painful.
Henna however clean, smart looking is and will vanish to avoid tragic mistakes.
This argument also expands to sleeves that can be removed due to the situation.

Capes
Impracticality
aside I disagree with Edna Mode from the incredible. They look dramatic and
badass flowing through the wind as you move like some bold hero from game of
thrones or assassin’s creed. However there is the minor issue of what happened
to Madonna last year.
3)
Subtle hair dye/ highlights
Everyone goes for a full on haircut and it seems like
it’s a hit or miss situation. However I reckon that subtle hair highlights like
Michael Aranda’s stripe or Fish Mooney’s fringe will stand out more and have
less room for fatal error.
4)
Sword umbrellas
They are just so badass. (by
that I mean umbrellas that look like swords not vice versa. I am in no way
responsible for any injuries caused by people reinacting Kingsman.
5)
Linsey Sterling
She’s awesome and yes I am aware
that I’m late to the party a bit. She’s a professional YouTube violinist whose
music goes from dramatic metaphors for anorexia to the Pokémon theme tune.
Usually she’s rocking unusual clothing and stamping around rhythmically with
many special guests. (https://www.youtube.com/user/lindseystomp)

Postmodern jukebox and genre play
I really like how people
take lyrics from songs yet change the instruments and manipulate the speed in
order to completely change the feel of the song. It allows for the ability to
sing along to the lyrics whilst also reinventing the song completely at an
impressive quality, I want more. (https://www.youtube.com/user/ScottBradleeLovesYa)
7)
The 50’s look
Despite the 50s being a time
associated with lots of people not having rights, it did a very good job at
fuelling the American dream via the optimistic feel it had and the retro look
of pretty much everything in the movies I’ve seen. I love the idea of the American
diners and the leather jackets and even the huge Elvis hair.
8)
Celtic patterns
I may be biased due to my
heritage but I think the Celts need their patterns found more. I see so many
pretensious tattoos and doodles of ancient tribal markings and foreign writing
yet nothing a bit closer to home. They are simple, vibrant, blue and usually
worn by warriors. This also includes the bangles (torks?) I’ve seen in the
museums.
9)
Noir
Despite my apathy towards
the “Sin City” series I really like the dark tones and writing of a noir,
However I do believe that some of the sterotypes are outdated (ie the pathetic
damsel.) I think noire could be revamped for the newer generation. Add to the
argument the sinister tones of Gotham (the most badass show ever) and it’s perfect.
Also check out Gin Wigmore if you get the chance.

10)
Dub smash
This one might actually
happen. Basically you get celebrities to mouth to songs and film quotes online
and it looks hilarious. Especially when the actors who play agent Carter and
Jarvis wage war against the agents of shield cast for charity.
