Lovelyish

I think this is a bad picture.  I think her bangs probably look great.  If her hair is naturally wavy, she can’t exactly do short bangs, they would have to be side swept like she is wearing them or keeping her bangs down would become a pain.

I think bangs are good on her, but maybe not styled that way.  They’re pretty long so if she didn’t want them in front, they can be easily tucked behind her ears or blended into the rest of her hair.  I think she just wanted to try something new and different to mix things up–long bangs is a low commitment way of doing so.

It looks like it’s been styled wrong, that’s it. I”m sure when she’ll style it differently, people will LOVE it.

bad picture but cute.

I am a bangs person as well, but those don’t suit her. At least not styled that way. 

No. These are horrible.

miss….. it makes her looks older.

hit!

This post: Miss.
Asking as if it even matters…really? So what if someone doesn’t like it. Suppose SHE does? WHY are people even wasting their time writing about it? Seriously, this entire line of thinking is a miss. And guess what?! In the 80s, this was rather the in-thing! People haven’t exactly minded that the 60s are coming back in a new-fashioned (pardon the pun) way. Get over it. She has bangs. Tomorrow she’ll cut her hair and you’ll ask the same stupid question. Ten years from now, it WON’T EVEN MATTER!!!

bangs are a trend? o_0 when did bangs ever stop being in style D:

@Rhindon@xanga - Yes, but a) isn’t that the point behind fashion, and b) why are you on lovelyish if you think so poorly of the posts that will inevitably be about the cyclical nature of fashion and will thus be as fickle and short-sighted as fashion itself?

The average person likes to look at fashion icons and judge whether they like a new trend or not. You should be happy that there is even a debate about it instead of every single person copying her without question. THAT would be truly horrifying.

@SHEERROSE@xanga - Early to mid 2000s. They came back in around 2008 or so, would be my guess.

@Mangonese@xanga - I happened across the post out of curiosity. Tis all.
I don’t mind that fashions change. What I mind is the flimsy way anyone is criticized for what they choose to wear. What makes anyone’s opinions on fashion so authoritative that they can judge her choices in clothing style? Kate Middleton – other than being the princess of England – is JUST another individual, no different than you or me. So why hold her to such high standards? What if she “fails” in everyone’s opinions? OH MY GOODNESS!!! The world will end!!! That’s what posts like these are like to me. Making a big issue over nothing. If this was SIMPLY about everyone just simply saying, “Yeah, I like/don’t like that fashion,” then no big deal. But the “Hit Or Miss” theme is setting celebs (or anyone) to a standard which is completely arbitrary…and meaningless. Vanity 101.

@Rhindon@xanga - I suppose, but everyone has their own standards of beauty, and I think discussions like this raise that point. People will inevitably disagree.

In terms of celebrities being the subject of these posts, I’d wager to guess it’s because they’re highly publicized. Everyone knows who they are and everyone has access to any number of photos of them in high-class designer wear with high-class designer hair cuts. I believe it’s more about judging the presentation on a whole rather than the looks of the person on an individual level, and it’s easy to do on people where there is a frame of reference, rather than posting one or two pictures of Jane Doe down the street and asking if her style is hit or miss.

I don’t think that people on this site are really as worried about the hit or miss as you make them out to be. I don’t see anyone freaking out about the world ending, or acting as though this event is catastrophic. I just see people stating if they believe it looks good or not.

I’m not exactly into caring about modern fashion or makeup on my own body (I normally wear none and my standard clothes are jeans, a belt that is falling apart and held together with duct tape, a t-shirt, and a flimsy sweatshirt that is sure to be getting holes soon) until it comes to my side-job of modeling, but even then I’m not concerned much with what celebrities wear unless it sparks an idea for something for my work. I’m still able to ascertain if I enjoy looking at Kate’s hair (which I don’t), and save it in my data-banks for future “please avoid this”.

If people didn’t pay attention, form opinions, and construct themselves off of these ideas, I believe we’d have a massive ton more accidental Wal-Martians (People of Wal-Mart) in the world, and I’d like to keep my eyes from burning even more out of their sockets, please. May sound shallow, but I enjoy looking at people whose being intrigues me in some way or another, and usually on the pleasurable, weird, or strange high-fashion scales. I guess that’s maybe why I like RuPaul’s Drag Race, too.

Anyway, my long-winded point is this: if you’re not participating in the vanity, why would you care enough to post a comment? Or are your self-prescribed comments on how to better our lives just another form of vanity and masturbation in themselves?
