...because I do not see the appeal of the Jonas brothers. I know that I'm not alone, but many of my friends are into classic and idependent rock, so together we are a bit of a biased group. But even as a fan of The Beatles, one of the biggest pop groups of all time, I don't understand the appeal of the Jonas brothers. Attractive? In a way, sure. Are they sexually scandalous? Not really. Long hair is the norm now, they dress like safe, normal kids and claim to be chaste (sure). To me, they are another boy band who may not last, they do not show the potential and the talen of pop groups past. In five years one might be gay, the other will have a reality show and one a horrendous fashion line. But the press never thought the Beatles or the Rolling Stones would last as long as they did, so only time will tell their true talent and staying power, no? Until then, I hate Seventeen with a passion.

The Same Knife
Are you conscious
of what you are doing
as you walk along in life
through the haze
little purple days
that stretch like a cat
or coil like a snake.
And it is the same knife
that killed you when you were down
as that struck you while you were up.
In the passing light
Apollo's chariot might
drift into my mind
drenching it with thoughts
running wild through my brain
until drowsy sleep
takes ahold of them.
And it is the same knife
that killed you when you were down
as that struck you while you were up.
And if you scream,
oh, I wish you would
let a little bit of pain
creep into that skin
I won't be there
I will let you feel it
all the way through your toes.
And it is the same knife
that killed you when you were down
as that struck you while you were up.
of what you are doing
as you walk along in life
through the haze
little purple days
that stretch like a cat
or coil like a snake.
And it is the same knife
that killed you when you were down
as that struck you while you were up.

And if you scream,

I will let you feel it
all the way through your toes.
And it is the same knife
that killed you when you were down
as that struck you while you were up.

Perfect Composition
For someone with a velvet jacket/dark jeans/leopard print fetish, this outfit is right up my alley. The darkness of the outfit is accented by the hint of wild scarf at the pocket. I love the contrast between the leopard and the plaid scarf, two very different prints that work surprisingly well together when not overdosed.credit: The Sartorialist

Phenomal Woman
by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size.
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
