I genuinely do not know where to start when it comes to wearing Uggs with mini skirts. There is really just so much wrong with the whole concept that it's warm enough to wear a skirt that barely covers your ass, yet it's cold enough to wear winter boots. Yeah, boots you wear in 30 degree weather and even colder. Boots with shearling lining. And might I add that there is the whole portion of your leg that remains uncovered. I like to refer to that unclothed leg area as the Freezing Point because that is the point where you remain freezing. If it's cold enough for Uggs, then you should be wearing pants. End of story. If it's warm enough for a mini skirt, then it's way too hot for winter boots. Whether you opt for a sandal or a closed-toe shoe is your own personal choice, but I imagine that if it is warm enough for a mini skirt, then it is also warm enough for flip flops.
As you can see, this issue is very closely related to the socks with sandals dilemma. Some people just don't understand the whole weather-appropriate clothing thing. So I'm just here to help you all out.
*While searching for a wonderful picture to complement this post, I came across many a photos with the red "no" circle (you know the circle with line through it, meant to mean "NO!"). So, obviously, I am not the only one who feels this way (this is not very surprising, but remains relieving). Some of these pictures are just those of uggs, sans the mini skirt, but I am focusing on its pairing with mini skirts.
The aforementioned song of my liking is of course "About My Girls" by Dominant Legs, a San Francisco-based band. The song is mellow and contains some nice harmonies. Honestly, I don't have much else to say about it, so listen, and enjoy (or not).
Casually browsing the Daft Punk website, just wanting to see if there was any news on the possibility of an upcoming tour, and instead, this is what I was brought to. They're showing me figures of Daft Punk. What am I supposed to do with these? Hold my own concert for Barbie, Ken, old WWF wrestlers, and the original power rangers? (Yes, these are the figurines my parents keep in hopes that one of their four children will ever have a child of their own)
For only $55.55 (plus shipping, tax is included in this price) you can get this:
They even come with instruments!!!
Needless to say, this is the ONLY information on their website. And, in case anyone is unsure as to what Interstella 5555 means, it is a reference the Japanese Animated musical film of the same name. This film was a "visual realization" of Daft Punk's album, Discovery.
After more careful research on the original subject matter (when can I see Daft Punk live?), I came across some articles discussing exactly that. Apparently. Daft Punk is planning on some really awesomely major tour for 2011-2012. In fact, "the Managing Partner and Head of of Music CAA, which represents Daft Punk, said he expects 'the film soundtrack [Tron: Legacy] and tour will lead a dance music juggernaut worldwide. This is going to be the biggest tour of next year.'"
This is also going to be a stadium tour, so I hope everyone is adequately prepared for this amazingness.
I used to kind of hate that MTV and VH1 stopped showing music videos. That they became crappy reality TV and pop culture vehicles for the masses. Slowly over the years, each of these stations pretty much stopped playing music. Music went from being in the forefront, to the background, to being virtually nonexistent.* However, I don't see this as such a bad thing any more.
The internet has taken over the music video realm. Artists debut their videos on blogs, their own websites, etc. There is far less censorship involved in music videos, so artists can materialize their artistic visions more purely. They don't have to worry about bleeping or editing. Artists have more freedom to express what it is they are trying to express. And, I love it.
Take the Scissor Sisters' newest video for Invisible Light for example. This video would not be allowed on television the way it exists online. People would be furious and offended. Now, the rest of us don't have to suffer along with the thin-skinned and close-minded.
*Exceptions apply to CW shows that have actually increased their musical budget. They play indie, more "trendy" music, and even make note of telling you the artist and song titles at the end of each episode. This phenomenon is most widely credited to The OC, which truly put music at the forefront of a show that had nothing to do with music at all. The various volumes of soundtracks introduced pop-going-teens to indie pop rock and alternative California-based bands. The movie Garden State did something very similar.
What you're viewing above is a Google Ads ad for Crocs Tone. Yeah, I said... Crocs Tone. Think sketchers shape up in a lighter, more plastic version. I know you thought that ugly probably couldn't get any uglier, but Crocs has proved us all wrong. Seriously, why do you do this to me? Why? Why? Why?
I know you're already on Zappos ordering your pair because you're gonna get them tomorrow and get free shipping. Oh. What's that? One in every color!?! Slow down there, bud. You gotta pace yourself for all that toning that's about to happen.
You're probably thinking, "So what... what?" And I have an answer to that for you... So what if my dream lifestyle is that which is portrayed by Sarah Silverman in The Sarah Silverman Program.
I mean, she does nothing, but is never bored. She doesn't work. Her sister pays her rent. She is never in need of money. No one and nothing stop her from doing whatever ridiculous antics she can think of. She gets to hang out with a dog all day. Even after all of her crazy antics, there are no consequences. Nothing bad happens. No worries, no cares. Just straight living.
I have a hard time admitting this out loud. Most people take pride in working hard. They actually get some kind of satisfaction out of waking up early, working all day on something they probably don't care too much about, and then being too tired to want to do anything else. Actually, these people usually aren't too tired after it all. No. They're energized and ready for a night of drinking. That lifestyle makes me want to crawl into a ball and die. It sucks the life out of me and I want to do nothing else but sleep and ignore the world.
Naturally, the carefree lifestyle of not working and being completely responsibility-free is super appealing to me. If someone was willing to support you for the rest of your life (no strings attached) would you do it? Gosh. A Sugar Daddy with no expectations of sex is my dream guy. :::siiiiigh:::
Check out some of these clips from The Sarah Silverman Program to really understand what it is I strive for.
Because I'm really great at starting something, giving up, picking it up again only just to give up, I thought I'd give the blog another try. I'm terrible at the follow through, so here goes nothing. I feel like I don't even really have anything to say through my marijuana fueled haze that I've been living in. I know. It sounds rough, but I'm managing.
I want to change the name of this thing, but something worthwhile currently escapes me. So, for now, West Coast Wonders will remain. I don't know. We'll see what happens.
Since this has all been a lot of nothing, I'll leave you with some good tunes to enjoy. I'll begin reallocating my abundance of free time toward random internet musings so that I can share them here. Deal? Deal!
Chromeo's Hot Mess
Now, check out the redux version of this song featuring Elly Jackson of La Roux. You can listen and download it right HERE.
Also, check this out. It's Sam Sparro performing his song Hot Mess live on some Danish radio show. It's a completely different song, but they're both great, so enjoy.
