While doing my History of the Arts homework...

I was tasked to search for Neoclassicism's fashion and decided to borrow a book since I had a huge confusion as to where Neoclassicism really started. Using the OPAC in the library, I stumbled upon this book. (Oh, btw, the cover is by Issey Miyake)



It show's a timeline of the fashion in the 18th century upto the 20th century. It's really good to see the fashion before and how we could see a little bit of a resemblance to them now.

Chanel's usual ensemble. The cardigan and the knee-length skirt, pearls, and a carnation flower pinned on the jacket. (At least I think it's carnation)



This is Jeanne Lanvin from 1940-1944. I love the style of the pockets which, I must say, inspires me to draw something more modern.



This Christian Dior dress made in 1949, I wouldn't mind wearing. HA!



If I'm not mistaken, this is also a Chanel cardigan. Stupid me to forget the label of the cardigan. Pfft.



The dress on the left is cool with its optical illusion thing going on during 1965. The one on the left with the eye print is a poster paper dress by Harry Gordon in 1968. Very modern and I wouldn't mind wearing the dresses as well.



An Andy Warhol inspired dress. BOUND TO HAPPEN MIGHT I SAY! It's called a "Souper dress", a paper dress made in 1961.




And of course, as I was flipping through the book, I was wondering if Vivienne Westwood would be here since she is like the GODDESS of Punk, et voila! Here she is. A t-shirt made by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren for Seditionaries. I wouldn't mind wearing this one too but I bet my mom would freak and kill me with a hammer or something. Oh, and of course, my brother's glare would turn me to stone and in his thoughts would be "WTF ARE YOU WEARING?!?! ARE YOU F***ING INSANE?!?!" and death would just strike me right then and there.



The shoes are funny and weird and cute but I wouldn't wear one though, it's just not my thing. Reminds me of Japanese people and the Margiela boots/shoes.



These cool. They are not toys nor are they miniatures. They are real shoes looking like real food! LIKE. WOAH!!! They were made in 1980 by Kumagai and they look soooo adorable that I wouldn't mind having a pair of those sundaes stilletos.

Tokio Kumagai Tabero Kutsu/"eating shoes" 1984



But to be honest, I'm really eyeing the beef brogues. *drools*




These are cute pumps. Ones a guy and the other a girl, I can't tell which is which..soooo, yeah... :))



Now, what would the 20th century be without Rei Kawakubo and Comme des Garcons?! This dress is awesome that I wouldn't mind wearing it going to the mall or to the grocery store. Come to think of it, the grocery store would be an awesome place to be in with this dress. MMMmmmm, the white-tiled aisles of section 6 for the canned goods area with your empty (or full, but I suggest empty) push cart. AWESOME EDITORIAL IDEA! =))

This one's a Yohji Yamamoto. Awesome too! :D Described as colorless and rag-likecolorless and rag-like...it sounds soooo cooolll!!! I bet people would "head-to-toe" me if I wear one of these around town. But before I do, my mom would've killed me thinking I must be crazy into wearing something that looks like a rag. =))

Can You Imagine the Time When Truth Ran Free?

What I've got here are the screencaps from 30 Seconds to Mars' AWESOME AND INSPIRATIONAL(to me that is) video! I loved it so much I decided to download it and screencap my favorite scenes. Although basically I screencapped almost every scene in that video. HAHAHA.



The video was directed by this man named Bartholomew Cubbins but apparently, after "much" research or rather "googling", I found out that Bartholomew Cubbins and Jared Leto is ONE. :O SHOCKING.



Jared's eyes made me melt.



Shannon's such a cutie.



Because of this, I want a motorcycle and be badass. But I don't think I'd run top speed on one of those things. OR NOT! =))




Jared made me melt again. <3



TOMO!!! Such a cute name! I still wonder why his name is Tomo though. But VERY adorable. I might nickname my kid that one day *ponders very hard on it*



"It was a thousand to one...



And a million to two"













"I just wish that there's no such thing as fighting, that the world could just be perfect and that we can get along...but obviously that can't happen"

This kid is awesome. She's not being a silly little brat but she just tells the truth.







I'm thinking of making a t-shirt like this. I can't wait to get my hands on a plain white tee!





I love how the guys in 30 Seconds to Mars appreciates their fans and even includes them in their songs, like for the back-up vocals and for the extras in their videos just like the cyclists in Kings and Queens. It shows that they're really grateful to their fans. Unlike other celebrities who loses their grip on the ground and be all air-headed and stuff and forgets that without the fans, they wouldn't be famous and they wouldn't be where they are right now.













I think it's their secret. The reason why 30 Seconds to Mars is so successful is, well aside from having amazing songs with depth, they totally appreciate their fans. Even giving them the coolest fan groupname ever!!! The Echelon.





I guess this is why I'm a fan of theirs...it's because we know that they make songs just for their fans and not just about selling music. They do it for the music itself and for it's believers.

I leave this post with the remaining screencaps that I took from their video. Go and look for your panties later, coz I lost mine when I saw Jared's eyes at the beginning.
