I love how you can insert little disclaimers into your speech patterns so that when you say something really inflammatory or conceited, people have less license to get mad at you. Like in Talladega Nights, Ricky Bobby's manager says, "you can't just start off a sentence with 'with all due respect' and still insult me!" to which Ricky replies, "yes I can -- I said 'with all due respect' -- I can say whatever I want."
Well, not to toot my own horn, but....
I do a lot of horn tootin' in this blog, and by no means are you supposed to take me seriously. Anyways, I was reading this article, and it made me scoff and look around my room like someone else was sitting on my bed or something, ready to agree with whatever I said. Unfortunately, not making any money with this blog has left me with no funds with which to pay someone simply to agree with me. Someday... someday.
A GOTHIC ROMANCE WITH BLACK NAILS
By RAAKHEE MIRCHANDANI
August 24, 2006 -- PAINT the town black this fall. This season's hottest Goth-chic beauty trend - seen on Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham and Lindsay Lohan - is short, dark nails.
"I think dark colors, especially dark nail polishes, are popular again because we are all angst-ridden teenagers at heart," says NARS senior stylist James Boehmer. "And it's easy to channel your inner Goth by slapping on a dark coat of nail polish."
Cosmetics companies are indulging in their dark sides too- Chanel recently launched "Black Satin," their first inky black shade, and nail-giant Essie has four new dark shades in dark wine and brown coming out for fall.
"When you see black nails on a woman, it says she's comfortable showing off a bit of her wild side," says celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin, who works on Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff. "I think wearing a black polish adds a fun, subversive rock-chic vibe without being harsh or unfeminine."
I've had my toenails black for like, three months now, and I just got done chipping all of the sparkly black topcoat off of my fingernails today in Accounting. No offense, but I'm so ahead of my time. The world ain't ready. Maybe K-Fed and I should collaborate. I'll spit lyrics and he can play the bongo and the french horn.
