Dress for the Rave!

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I used to love rave parties. The best thing about them is that you can come as you are. You generally do not have to dress in particular. After all, everyone is so engrossed into the music and completely tranced, so what you wear is not really important.

However, we make things better when we have the right rave clothing. Rave clothes are bright and colorful, fluid and outrageous. They are the perfect thing to wear on a night in a warehouse in some strange far from the city. They show your spirit of adventure and youth.

Curiously, as the rave type disappears , rave clothing remains as popular as ever. Rave clothing can be seen in the streets in America. Baggy pants, bright colors, decorated with fluorescent paint and strips of tape, the pacifiers, light sticks, and candy were once a sign of a fringe sub-scene. Today, they are practically mainstream. Children who have never been involved in the scene , first wear them without having the slightest idea of their origin. All they know is that rave clothes are interesting and unconventional.

To me if you’re dressed for a night to clubs or going to an underground rave party, the key is to be outrageous. Figure a fantasy you want to live. Do you want your clothes to be sexy or psychedelic? Would you like a hippie? Would you want to be an aesthetic futuristic robot? The thing is that no matter what you try, do not overdo it. People on the dance floor will enjoy your outfit. If it is colorful, fantastic, or attractive, it will add more presence and entertainment value to the dance floor. After all, in a dance party everyone is a performer.

If you are not sure what clothes to wear, one of the most important things to remember is that baggy pants are always good – especially if they are in bright colors. In fact, everything that is loose fitting, fluid, and light makes excellent rave gear. If you are at a loss, however, you can always wear a white T-shirt and a candy necklace. This is a good way to integrate and fantastic deals on the dance floor, without too much effort into your costume.

Plus Sized Models

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

While I am pleased to see that there are many more models in size today, I am somewhat troubled that the fashion industry is estimated to have plus size models. I remember when I was little, my mother is often plump, and this was because we had the same condition . We both have a resistance to insulin, making it difficult for us to lose weight. Because it has always been the plan, I always knew that her goal was to reduce size. At that time, a size 8 was considered to be fairly average.

Today, however, it seems almost as if the size begins to size 8. I spent a lifetime as a size 12, and although I knew this was not an ideal size, it is not the end of the world. There are many size 12 models and I think they are also important. The problem is that some of them who seem to be a size six or eight are now considered as models in size. This is confusing to me, I can not imagine that many people are naturally a size two or four. Quite frankly, the sizes are not good for everyone.

I hope that the fashion industry reconsider what they consider to be of smaller models. Little girls growing up today have absolutely no hope of ever feeling good on the body they were given. When they see plus size models of the same size as they do, they will begin to feel they are overweight, when in fact they may be perfectly proportioned to their image, and they are probably perfect health. To me, this is one of the worst things that can happen.
