I’ve already told you that smart is the new pretty… and today I’ll let you in on another secret: geek is the new chic. We are busy girls who need to keep in touch and work on the go. So, of course, we need to keep up with the trends while keeping up with the latest in technology. How does one tote all of her electronics without carrying a not so chic backpack?

Would You Wednesday: Nicki Minaj

I’m not going to preface this one by saying that, “Oooh, I love Nicki, so I feel bad saying this” cause I don’t. Her voice annoys me and as Mike Rivera said, “I think if you asked Nicki Minaj to rap to the opening of a super market, she would.” That being said, behold:

minajhammerHere is Nicki Minaj wearing some pants that clearly resemble Mr. Hammer when performing on the David Letterman show the other night. Ugh. Did she not do her homework? Nicki, don’t you know what became of M.C. Hammer?

Why Did You Wear That: Laced Up

Lace doesn’t always need to be associated with lingerie or your grandmother’s curtains. Lace is a super sexy element that can be brought into your wardrobe to give a little bit of girly sexy appeal. This particular trend looks great with leather to give that “sugar and spice” feel. Don’t deck yourself out head to toe. Instead, try mixing in a piece at a time.

That’s Bull

In light of recent and incredibly disheartening events, I wanted to just take a moment and discuss how sick it makes me to hear about these young people being so upset that they took their own lives.

So, some people have wondered why I’m so upset about all this picking fun and bullying, when in essence, I have a website dedicated to pointing out goofy outfits. WhyDid is not meant to be a place to bully people or hurt people for no good reason. Highlighting a bad choice of clothing is much different than harassing someone for who they are. People can change their clothes, and change their hairstyles. It’s not funny or cool to ever make fun of people for their sexual orientation, race, or physical appearance.

When I was in highschool, I remember having to eat lunch in one of my teacher’s office because there was a group of girls that was so mean to me, I didn’t want to have to face them. Sometimes, I would just go sit outside and skip lunch altogether. While this was probably good for my waistline, it was bad for my soul. I hated getting up and going to school. I dreaded lunch. I dreaded seeing them in the halls. In the grand scheme of things, the extent of my “bullying” was probably a 2 on the scale of bullying, but at the time, I felt so alone and so depressed.

Some of my very favorite people on the planet are gay. It is beyond me that someone could ever hate or bully another person for their sexual preference . That would be like your friends bullying you for liking guys with brown hair. It’s so silly and so petty. People are people. Whether they like boys or girls or even both they deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. If you are being bullied, stay strong. In most (by most, I mean all) cases, the person bullying you is just so incredibly insecure that they are taking out their own deep rooted demons on you. It probably seems so difficult right now and so hurtful, but I promise if you stay tough and keep your head up, you WILL look back on this and understand it.

If you are bullying someone, stop for a moment and ask yourself, “Why am I so angry? Why am I filled with so much hate?”  Facing yourself may prove to be a lot more difficult than taking your aggression out on someone else.

Spread hope not hate.

WhyDid
