Whilst I am a child of the eighties and a big fan of ‘I wanna dance with somebody’ and all that I cannot get my head ’round this new album cover…

Whitney Houston

WTF did the photoshopper on staff do to her face? She looks younger than she did when her first hits came out. I am not sure about the weave either, ever since I got all growed up and realised those fabulous locks aren’t real they kind of freak me out. 

Another thing, what is this pre -occupation with singers to want to dress as though they are trying out for a Chorus Line?  Whilst I am a big fan of weight lifting for women and was on the path to having ‘Madonna’ arms and legs myself I find it odd that she wears tights on stage in lieu of pants or a skirt.

We seem to find it totally normal to show of our legs, now dont we Katy Perry? look what she wore on a red carpet (!!!) a little while ago…

You don’t have to look like a nun if you wear a skirt or pants, so can we all make a decision and leave the leotards for the gym and the bathingsuits for the beach?

I was multitasking like a good little girl this morning. Blowdrying my hair and flicking through one of my favourite dutch fashion magazines. I came across a couple of pictures of Natasha Khan, a british singer. A supposed new IT girl. . .
 

Whilst I cannot comment on her music as I have not listened to it, the sight of her and her ‘IT girl’ status got me thinking about this pre-occupation the media seems to have with what is considered hip and trendy (i.e. Kate Moss and followers)
 
I find it truly baffling. Why would we want to encourage people to dress like this? I am totally for diversity and applaud people that I come across that truly seem to have this hip thing down. But like many trends you see so many people around town are trying to look like something they are not. You just want to tell them enough already, give up and dress classically stylish.
 
Let’s suggest to dress timelessly gorgeous, like Ivanka Trump. She’s young, gorgeous, has style and dresses appropriately for her age.
