Now, I've always been around artsiness. Sometimes this is good, sometimes it's hideous. One of my favorite things about my hometown was the fact that no matter what strange thing I decided to wear, there was always someone 10^5 times stranger. I think that I sort of missed being around artists and I replaced that always being around creative people thing with my online haunts, and let me tell you, my LJ f-list alone has got some pretty fabulous art talent in a ridiculous amount of media.
I also RSS a few people I'm too shy to actually friend, because I'm a dork.
Not that there's not any crazy artsy people around here, but it's way more subdued. People that in an attempt to "be taken serious" get sort of lost in the greyish background of everyone else wanting to be taken seriously. While I don't miss the ridiculous mindless crap I hear on the streets of B-town sometimes, I do miss the shit the art students wear and how they seemingly have style-offs with the older hippie-turned-yuppie set (the older ones are kicking their ass by the way). I love street fashion, because it's more real, but there's something to be said for the craziness that is runway fashion. I also like knowing the trickle-down rate of how high fashion makes its way into department stores, which is the highest of my price range, really. My favorite types of clothing should make it to my area by the time I'm out of school and can possible afford it, I estimate. The Midwest takes a while.
I just figured I'd say that, so that everything under the cut makes sense. Also, I need to have a happy Project Runway icon. But this quintessential Nina one is too funny.
( So I just watched the Project Runway finale, spoilers ABOUND if you have not )
