fads...ahh, gotta love 'em...well, at least marketing geniuses do. So when my 7 year old niece showed off her "sleeve" of rubberband bracelets that were in shapes from everything to the alphabet to trains to dollar signs two thoughts popped in my head:
1. my love for color & accessories must be rubbing off
2. beanie babies
Yup...beanie babies. Just like these crazy bracelets that are overpriced & overvalued at the moment, with suburban mall moms rushing from kiosk to kiosk looking for "the one" bag of themed bracelets their kids don't have, a generation before this parents were looking for tiny stuffed animals, & willing to spend $$ at any cost. Who knows why some fads start & end in 1 day, & others highlight parts of human nature i like to pretend don't exist...i couldn't give you the answer to that one; but if I ever did have the answer & started a fad of my own, i'd use the bags of beanie babies in my closet for investment $$...they've gotta be worth, what...$15, $20?
Here's a couple more that shouldn't go unnoticed:
the pet rock
Created by one man, Gary Dahl, who grew tired of hearing friends complain about the nuisance of their pets. I gotta give Dahl props for the marketing scheme behind this one though...anyone that becomes a millionaire off of a cardboard box & a rock gets no hate from me.
tickle me elmo
He's red...furry...& caused parents to practically duel to the death in order to get their kids this toy in the winter of 1996. When parents shelled out $1500 for a toy retailed at under $30,I can't help but wonder if this "lovable" toy is laughing with us....or at us. hmmm.....
Our latest look book features Brock's conceptual sketches. Detail and structure were the emphasis of this latest collection. Notice the anatomical approach to the graphics along with using braille for added shadows and movement. These goods are hitting stores now and will be available at www.vividbraille.com later this year.
Seems like he's either loved or hated...well, i love. True - my Dtown hometown loyalty would make it hard to show hate for Eminem, but he's more than a local celeb 2 me...besides, i've never been much for the world of paparazzi & empty infatuation. If you look past the "slim shady" hype & take a peep into the voyage & life of Eminem, he's got a traveled life whose success can't be hated on. He delved into the hip hop world against it all - white boy status, connections only to trailer parks & a childhood the best of us would adopt as a bumper sticker when excusing our failure to go after our goals.
His new album "Recovery" has dropped & holds the same confidence & self actualization as his first track "Not Afraid" ; i'm psyched to play repeat on all tracks like "Love the Way You Lie (feat. Rihanna), "No Love" (feat. Lil Wayne) to name a few. Eminem hates on those who hate him - that much hasn't changed. But there's a new theme of acceptance of self & strength, not just through himself but with the aid of those around him, that he blasts in the hook of Not Afraid:
"I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road"
The remaining lyrics are loaded with sick play on words & his thoughts haven't failed to challenge his fans & critics. Here's a couple videos to peep of his new tracks...
Love him or hate him, Eminem has never given us anything but who he really is at that moment - & for the transparency he allows the world to see, i've got much respect & appreciation.
