Faking Adulthood | Swanky Accessories

Do you watch Sherlock? I’m thinking specifically about the corpse Sherlock examines on the banks to the Thames in “The Great Game”. He’s able to figure out where the man worked based on what he looks like, is wearing, and what’s in his pockets. Although I’m not suggesting there’s an arsenal of Sherlocks running around, try people watching one day. You’ll never know whether you’re right or not, but you’ll probably be able to formulate a story about people based solely on what they’re wearing and what they look like.

If you’re going to fake it til you make it as a big kid, you’ll need to look the part. If you want to dress to impress, there are a few swanky accessories that class-up any outfit, even if you got it from Goodwill.  Read More

Pop Culture Week in Review: August 24-30

Sad news for the teachers and students out there alike: summer’s almost over. But even for those of us who never get months off of work, the end of summer marks the end of a special state of pop culture-dom. Big-budget action movies occupy our attention while regular TV programming takes a break. Here at the end of August, however, there are no superhero films or big-budget comedies. There’s no Oscar bait in August (“The Butler” notwithstanding).
What I DO have to share with you is a week of anticipation, a week of pre-occupation, a week of deals being struck in every permutation. (Thus endeth the rhymes). It’s the pop culture week in review for August 24-30th.

Avoiding the Steroid Witch Hunt

Americans have the first amendment, freedom of speech, it allows us to speak our mind, have opinions and challenge authority when we believe change is needed. It’s a great thing, however, there are limitations. You cannot yell fire in a crowded public area, you cannot yell obscenities in public and you can’t libel or slander someone. When former Cardinals player and radio host Jack Clark accused Albert Pujols of doing steroids he violated his first amendment right.

Our Takeaways from the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards
