Dorky Fashion: Social Network Sneakers by Adidas

I know these shoes are flat and on top of that they are sneakers.  If you are expecting to find Prada or Louis Vuitton please go to another post immediately because it is all flip flops and hoodies here.  In a world dominated by social networking, divas have essentially become dorks.  My dorky side is completely obsessed with Adidas new line of social network themed sneakers.  The “you can’t buy just one pair of shoes” rule totally applies here because as a blogger aspiring to online fame, I am almost always on Facebook and Twitter at the same time promoting my ever so glamorous socialite agenda.  Therefore, I need both pairs of shoes to accurately express my daily life.  If I really wanted to take a major fashion risk I could purposely mismatch my shoes wearing a different one on either foot stylishly expressing the act of constantly being on two social networks at once.  Who knows?  That look could go viral and become the next fashion craze.  It is ironic that in the mist of my determined pursuit of high fashion and leisure, I rediscovered my inner geek.  The other day, I even wrote I line of code as I watched the epic movie, Troy, and drank a Red Bull which is a total geek move if you ask me.  I also plan on reading The Facebook Effect in the hope that it will help me think more like an Internet entrepreneur.  Just as every fashionista should know their Coach from their Gucci they should also know their HTML from their JavaScript.

Taylor Momsen Needs to Chill

On tonight’s episode of Gossip Girl, I witnessed the aftermath of the masquerade ball in which the vengeful masters of disguise Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen,) Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr,) and Juliet (Katie Cassidy) turned everyone against Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively.)  I guess when good girls go bad, they go really bad. Unfortunately, Taylor Momsen is no exception to this rule. Perhaps, you remember her as a fresh-faced teen playing an innocent Jenny Humphrey, a Brooklyn girl looking to fit in at an Upper East Side prep school, on the first season of Gossip Girl.  Look even further back to the year 2000 and you will find an ultra-innocent Taylor Momson playing the adorable Cindy Lou Who opposite Jim Carrey in The Grinch.

It looks like the Grinch has grow tired to stealing Christmas and came back to steal Taylor Momson soul leaving her with nothing but, permanently corrupted eye makeup and very bad hair extensions. But, it isn’t just her fashion scene that has gone bad; Taylor Momsen’s diva attitude has made her enemies in high places. Earlier this year the actress had it out with fashion expert, Tim Gunn. After appearing together on an episode of Gossip Girl. Tim Gunn claims that Taylor Momsen was constantly on her BlackBerry and rarely remembered her lines. In reference to the tediousness of filming the episode he said, “I thought to myself ‘why are we all being held hostage by this brat?” Well Mr.Gunn, she now looks scary enough to hold anybody hostage. I miss the old Taylor Momsen.
