Oops, I meant to say "While I enjoy/agree with many of them, all the criticism I read on this site"

I know this is an old post but I can’t help but comment… The mom and daughter team who run stylelikeu don’t have enough time to write every single person’s “style blurb” – it’s actually often left to the interns. I notice that there are certainly words misspelled and/or misused – including band and designer names – but it’s not being written by journalists, it’s being written by teens, so I shrug it off.

Admittedly, I actually was in one of these a while back before it really blew up. I was really hesitant at first precisely because I didn’t want people watching it to assume I was some pretentious idiot. But watching previous people’s interviews (at least a dozen of which are friends of mine) I was really touched by how genuine some of the stories were.

Clearly if someone is posting about their “amazing” Urban outfitters x Opening Ceremony x Alexander Wang x Jeffrey Campbell outfits every day on their blog it is eye-roll inducing. But then there are times when you see a mysterious, incredible looking freak girl on the streets and wonder about her… What is her story? Where is she from? Where did she get those shoes? It goes both ways.

While I enjoy/agree with many of them, all the criticisms I read are why I resist starting a blog of my own, even though I think I would enjoy it. I can’t decide that *I* wouldn’t judge myself if I saw my own blog of more outfit postings etc…

A dilemma indeed!

Sorry this got so long-winded but I am curious about your opinion, Sister Wolf.

P.S. I know you dislike Jezebel – as do I – but if you haven’t you should check out Persephonemagazine.com. It’s the smarter, irritation-free alternative.

I love Leigh Alexander! “Five Emotions Invented by the Internet”. At first I was all, “Oh great, another cutesy list to draw comments” but by the end I was like, “oh goddamn, she got me”.

That said, I do feel the need to point out one article I liked on StyleLikeU, the couple from the band Jeffertiti’s Nile. So funny. I was prepared to hate them but I thought they were really funny, sweet, and genuine. “Umm…these pants, someone gave them to me or something, yep”

I haven’t been able to do blog posts for a while and I blame you.

I trace it back to the video you posted that fucking traumatized me.

I still love you though.

Sartorial Coolness and Nonchalant Grace sounds like an obnoxious fashion blog. Or a parody of obnoxious fashion blogs.

Wait a second…a lightbulb just went on…

And speaking of Bob, Little Annie Fanny did a satirical bit that was fairly amusing and summed up perfectly my feelings about him.

(For those that don’t know, Little Annie Fanny is a comic strip that appeared in Playboy way, way back when it thought it was Vanity Fair.)
