Inspired By: Freaks and Geeks
AHHHH Freaks and Geeks. Such a wildly unappreciated show with SO many famous faces (just look at baby Linda, Busy, James, Jason and Seth below…too trippy). The show is wildly simple – from the plot, character development, wardrobe and set, the entire show is meant as a satire to the social and political escapades of … Read more
Happy Halloween!
Wishing everyone a spooky and safe Halloween today, with some special love going out to all of our East Coast friends, family and fans who have to deal with the biggest scare of the season, Sandy. Here’s one of our favorite costumes from a Halloween 2 years back at Boston College, when Halloween used to … Read more
1930s Makeup
These videos have been going viral for the past couple of weeks, and seeing as I work at a Museum, any piece of history like this is going to especially intrigue me. This makeup tutorial by British Pathe, entitled “Secrets of Make-up,” shows ladies from 1936 the proper technique to get a glamorous Hollywood look. … Read more
Childhood Trends To Wear Now
As a child of the 90s, looking back I now see that many trends 20 years ago were god-awful and unflattering. Shrunken bubble shirts, body glitter, and velour tracksuits are in fact horrendous, and should never be brought back into style. But whether or not you like it, much of the 90s is back and doesn’t … Read more
Zef so Fre$h: T by Alexander Wang x Die Antwoord
Before I start this post, I’d just like to extend my gratitude to my dear @paulipocket for introducing me to the genius that is Die Antwoord roughly three years ago. It was junior year. I was just about to die from the monotony of mundane, mainstream hits that get played on an endless and nauseating … Read more
Pumped Up Kicks
Almost everyone’s closet houses that pair of indispensable sneakers…the sneakers which weather the process of sartorial evolution; items come and go yet the sneakers remain. They might be Nikes, Vans, PF Flyers, or in my case, Converse. These sneakers, though severely worn, have more street cred than I do. Take a look! Considering my rather impressive sneaker … Read more
A Week to Remember
Two weeks ago today, we were sitting happily in a party trolley, making our way from the Boston Commons to Whiskey’s, a well-known steakhouse and bar on Boylston St., before heading to the Sheraton Copley, where our Commencement Ball was held. It’s hard to believe how fast time flies — two weeks ago, we were … Read more
90s Nostalgia
I really really miss the 90s. I miss the cheesy sitcoms. I miss good ol’ wholesome fun. I miss slap bracelets. I miss crazy colored sweatshirts. I miss playing house. And I miss Full House. I should be writing my papers and working on my projects and presentations, but I think I’ll take a little … Read more
Inspired by: Do The Right Thing
I recently watched the ’89 Spike Lee classic Do The Right Thing with some friends; while expecting a quality film with thought-provoking social and artistic implications from the master director himself, I’ve since been mesmerized by certain aspects of the movie - so much so that I feel inclined to blog about them. From the funky hip-hop infused soundtrack, to the … Read more
I’m Interlaken you a lot
The tri-state area is bombarded with severe snowstorms today….I believe the forecast predicts at least 15 inches of snow in New York alone. With my neighborhood coated in a lovely layer of powder that appears to be accumulating at a rapid rate, I find myself transported back to fond and chilly memories of Interlaken, Switzerland. … Read more
