Naturally Childish

some people grow up
some don't.

Top 5 Thoughts of the Day

1. Everyone deserves a sick day once in a while. Especially if your right gland is swollen and left ring toe is broken. And you have a week’s worth of television to watch. 

2. Although the junior jolt is going strong (see: year of Andrea/Penny). It certainly is draining. It’s been two weeks and I can’t seem to get into the swing of things. It took getting sick and taking a day off to catch up mentally.

3. For some reason, I just can’t seem to get “I Like the Way You Move” out of my head. The song is surely a masterpiece.

4. Interning in the music industry ROCKS. Tickets (working for a music promoter), CDs (working for a distributor) and Billboard Magazine (mysteriously showed up in my mailbox). Music Nerd Winning.

5. A tastemaker: someone who sets trends and helps determine what is deemed popular by mainstream culture. and how do you get selected as a tastemaker? Do you display a particularly unique fashion sense? Do you listen to obscure music that no one has heard (yet)? Do you appreciate abstract art more than the average person? Do you think you are particularly influential?

The label “tastemaker” is so pretentious and conceited. Who are you to consider your choices groundbreaking? Never tell someone they are a tastemaker, it leads to unfortunate pop culture decisions and trends (see: Mean Girls) 

when people ask me: “Andrea, who is your style inspiration” (i’m asked on the daily, being such a stylish and sought after person) I always respond: “Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century.”

Top 5 Thoughts of the Day

1. Procrastinating: a paper about race and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Although I love the subject matter, i just can’t seem to word my thesis properly and therefore I have given up before even starting.

Fresh Prince of Bel Air

2. Eating: Bottega Louie cupcakes from a pretty great person. dangerous. fell asleep after eating the first one. contemplating the second

3. Wanting: a bitchin’ Shark watch, but they’re SOLD OUT. should have kept the one I stole from a frat guy (stupid conscience)

Shark Watch

4. Anxiously awaiting: a preview (free!) screening of THE MUPPET MOVIE. seriously. this saturday. I’m getting there hours early. camping out. gotta love USC (and the fabulous Comedy festival that I’m exploding with excitement about)

Muppets

5. Listening: Calling - Alesso & Sebastian Ingrosso. Over and over again. Not because i’m suddenly into electronic music, but because it reminds me of some stupid ’90s/’00s pop song but i can’t put my finger on it. HELP?!

Fuck You (Cee Lo Green Cover) ~  Graffiti 6

Yes, another video today.

First of all, I’m falling hard for Graffiti 6. Here’s why:

  1. The songs are just plain fun. Catchy and poppy but still musically adventurous and full of talent
  2. After seeing Step Up and listening to the soundtrack on repeat (yes, I went through that phase…), I fell in love with Jamie Scott, who had been in the movie and contributed the song Made to the soundtrack. After doing some digging into Graffiti 6, I found out that the duo is none of than Jamie Scott and producer Tommy D. CRAZY. This new venture sure does diverge from the path that Jamie had already set out on…
  3. Their EP (out October 11th) is FREE

Now about this cover. First of all, the synth at the beginning had me wondering if they were gonna start into Eric Hutchinson’s “Food Chain” (they didn’t). And I love the multitudes of “Fuck You” covers in the music world, and this one’s pretty darn good. The harmonies, the old school funk, the adorableness of the lead singer (yes, I’m still slightly in love). Just can’t get enough

fuckyeah1990s:

This is a compilation of every time a character said zetus lapetus in “zenon girl of the 21st century”.

Zenon is my style icon
