✨🌙🌴🤟🏼MULLET!BEOM COMEBACK 2020 🤟🏼🌴🌙✨

[shefanispeculator]

Then, in 2020 quarantine, wife Gwen Stefani helped the mullet make its (short-lived) comeback with a quintessential pandemic home haircut.

"The best part about that haircut, to me, is how short she cut the sides of my hair," he says, drawing attention to the stripes Stefani shaved on the side of his head.

"I was doing Jimmy Fallon's show on the laptop on the back porch of the house, and Gwen came and was giving me a haircut during the interview," he recalls. "That's one of my favorite memories. You have to look at the silver lining of quarantine and for me, it was bread -- eating bread all day -- and being able to work and do music and talk shows from the house."

⇢ author’s note(s): hello everyone! so ive finished my exams and im hard at work, writing all the unfinished projects i have, heres a little googie fluff! ( this fic has been updated as of 2020!)  )

“jeon jungkook!”

stylists and staff members alike turned their heads to the source of the very voice, syllables of said idol’s name belting out through the building as footsteps pelted against the smooth floor.

the girl herself whizzed past the staff, apologising to figures and forms that she bumped into with small smiles and gentle nods. her breath evened out when she reached the practice room, stomping in without hesitation since the boys were usually on break at this time.

“jeon jungkook!”

seven heads with mops full of colourful hair turned to face YN’s direction, eyes wide with grimaces as jungkook prepared for his fate. he smiled hesitantly at his approaching girlfriend, turning to face her in the twirling chair he had seated by jimin. seokjin, taehyung and namjoon were lying spread out on the floor as they shared a water bottle and light conversation whilst hoseok helped yoongi run over their new steps.

comeback was fast approaching for the boys, and word of finalised looks and choreographies were spreading fast leading to a very unhappy YN. “yes?” jungkook mumbled, as the girl in question slipped into his lap, the angry pout on her lips not seeming to fade away even when he settled his hands on her hips. “am i in trouble?”

“yes, you’ve agreed to something terrible.” she mumbled, nose scrunching when jungkook’s finger came up to boop it.

he gave her a false frown, tilting his head in confusion. “and what might that be, princess?”

“you’re going to cut your hair!”

the maknae frowned at his jimin hyung, who had simply snorted into his book at the girl’s words. his large doe eyes fluttered up to the mahogany curl that kept settling onto his forehead as of the start of last week and hummed. jungkook had been growing his hair since their last comeback for ‘boy with love’ in order to strengthen it for the next time the stylists gave it colour, he would admit that he liked the extra length for several reasons. it didn’t stick out as much, he could roll out of bed without styling it and he definitely liked the way YN’s fingers curled in it when she was about to-

“kook! are you even listening to me?”

said idol quickly snapped from his thoughts to look at his girlfriend, her face contorted into a soft annoyance as jimin continued to snicker in the background. the silver haired male had always been a bit of a trouble maker. “you’re drooling kookie-ah.”

“shut it jimin.” kook grumbled, quietening his hyung with a final ‘aish.’ his gaze quickly settled back on YN who was still staring him down with a fond scowl. “so...youre mad that i’ve agreed to cut my hair? that’s why you marched halfway across the bighit building from your job with the other artists? because im cutting my hair?”

YN let out a low hum. “the stylists talk you know, i came to stop a terrible crime that will not only upset me, but the rest of ARMY as well.”

she stated matter-of-factly, a proud smile on her face as yoongi piped up. “we wouldn’t dream of it.”

poking his tongue in his cheek, jungkook let his gaze fall over his girlfriend once again, a vision of her effortless beautiful coming into view. she’d been grinning down at him, the crinkles near the corners of her eyes shining through and he felt his heart melt a little as he came up to toy with her hair. “can’t have that can we love,” he hummed for a moment, before chuckling for a second. “but would you still love me if i decided to cut my hair anyways?”

“jeongguk,” YN whined, her soft lips forming a pout this time as she bunched her fists in his black t-shirt, eliciting small laughs from the other members. “you can’t cut your hair! as an internal army it is my job to give the fans what they like! and they wouldn’t want you to cut your hair, it would literally devastate the whole fandom. worse than the tullet.”

“the tullet?”

taehyung popped his head up at the mention of the vaguely familiar word. his own hands came up to fist at his freshly dyed red hair, a favourite of his fans. He blinked as he pulled out a strand, much shorter than before. “the tullet.” he whimpered, missing his longer hair.

“tae’s mullet, the tullet. rest in peace.” YN hummed, hand on her chest as she looked to the ceiling. jungkook rolled his eyes from underneath his girlfriend, looking away from her when she caught his look. “jeon jungkook, i will literally run away if you cut your hair.”

“runaway where baby? who would i give my love to then?” the idol countered with a small smirk, running his hands up and down YN’s back as she failed to resist cuddling into him.

she hummed gently, sighing into his chest as exhaustion circulated in her veins. the days as a stylist were just as long for her as jungkook’s practices. being an international stylist meant she had to work just as hard to keep her position and the maknae had always admired her for that. “love to jimin, jikook forever.” she slurred as she rubbed her cheek against his firm chest, eyes closing slightly.

namjoon signalled to the others to head over to the studio for vocal practice and recording sessions. the leader nodded over to jungkook with a soft smile, noticing how YN was slowly falling into a well deserved rest. “we’ll meet up later kook.”

“yes hyung.” the younger mouthed in reply, running a hand through his girlfriend’s hair. he leaned a cheek atop her head, enjoying the comfortable and quiet moment as he breathed in her scent.

YN sighed once more, whispering groggily. “don’ cut your hair googie. wanna play with it like you play with mine.”

the boy smiled, deciding that his girlfriend’s sleepy suggestion was a good enough reason to keep his curls.

I’m Sorry, What Now? [March 25, 2020]

IN PROGRESS

Kyra tilts her phone onto the counter, dialing B up on FaceTime as she pops in one of her pods in, turning to wash her hands...a slow curve of a smile appearing as she hears his voice in her ear, turning a bit to look at him as she finishes up, drying her hands off. "Hey, soooo...let me see The Wig."

Brennan sits on his couch, holding his phone up to FaceTime as his dog sits in his lap, moving to greet Kyra before giving a quick snort of laughter at the mention of The Wig. “I Wish it was a Wig,” he mentions, leaving a bit of Mystery and Intrigue hanging as he moves to pull his laptop out, finding his Facebook page as he moves to dig out the embarrassing and now private albums of 23 year old Brennan and his antics, finding one of himself and his bandmates back then, complete with the awful, awful haircut, turning the computer screen toward Kyra for her to See.

An indentation softly forms between Kyra's brows as she hears the bit of it Not Being A Wig, wasn't that what he had said be...oh! wow...hm, pressing her lips together in a tight circle, taking a soft inhale of breath as her head gently nods of it's own volition as she focuses in on the picture. I, hmph, mmm....her lips pushing back outwards as she finds the words To Say, "Would you...ever consider revisting, maybe?"

Brennan lets out a small, light snort as Kyra gives her suggestion, his lips curling upwards a bit. “If I did...think Andy would sue me for taking his Thing...?” He offers back out, thinking about how he and Andy had kind of flipped over the years with the long and short hair...

“Sue you? No. Write a song about you? Mmmmmmaybe.” Kyra loosely points out back, moving to put her palms onto her ears over her hair for Brennan to do the same, waiting till he Gets It to toss a few things into her blender and presssssss the button, after the lid was topped of course, not going to make That Mistake again. The chaotic noises settling back down as she eventually stops the machine, casting a look over towards the screen, “Have you talked to him?”

“Ooohhhh, that can be even worse than a law suit, in it’s own way...” He loosely teases out, a little flit of a smile crossing his lips, leaning to scratch behind B’s ear, the little smile peeking upwards as he hears the little bark, before taking in her question, his eyes moving up from B back towards the screen. “About Us?”

Kyra reaches into her cabinet to grab a cup turning back at the sound of the bark, “Hey, back to you...” She says with a brief tug of a smile as she leans over her laptop to pour the concoction into her glass, slowly drawing back to look over at Brennan, after giving a look out to see if she was still alone, “Us?”

“Do you think it’s Time to tell him?” Brennan floats out after he watches Kyra look to make sure she were still alone, letting her do so before asking his question.

Kyra moves back into her seat, swirling her metal straw into her smoothie, her brow furrowing in thought to his question, resting her chin into her palm as her elbow rests onto the table, looking at Brennan, “Think maybe I should know First. What Is the latest on the Us front...?”

"If you're ready to make it official, and also Andy Official...I am," Brennan offers back to her as he looks at her, wanting to gauge her own thoughts on it, but still, giving her a small smile as it peeks onto his lips.

Kyra can’t stop her lips from slowly curling up into soft delight, even as she tries to chew on the inside of her lip to stoppp it, her lips softly smacking together, as the stream of air gently passes through her nose along with a singular Hum. Moving some of her hair behind her left ear, as her right hand moves into a fist raising it towards the screen, “And by “Official”, you mean what Exactly?”

"What I mean Exactly is...Kyra Swann, will you be my Girlfriend?" Brennak asks as he looks at the screen, at Kyra, his deep brown eyes warming a bit as he looks at her, the little half-smile peeking further upward.

Kyra hears the question her line of sight traveling a bit to see the corners of Brennan’s lips, feeling her own follow suit, sure enough...pressing her pointer finger against her tragus, as she looks off to the side of her laptop, her head loosely nodding as she subtly takes in the Information from “The Studio”, “So it seems that wasn’t on the cue cards? Going off-script, hm?” Kyra questions back with a soft shake of her head, before her lips curl further upwards a soft chuckle moving out of her, as she brings her leg up, her foot resting on the edge of her chair as she settles her chin ontop of her arms folded on her knee. “Girlfriend, hmmm...I could work with that, though...on One Condition, though...”

“Seems so...” Brennan offers back with a little shake of his own, even as the little twitch of a smile peeks back onto his lips. “One condition? Name it,” he offers back to her as he relaxes back into the couch as B lays happily on his lap.

“The Mullet...” Kyra dramatically lets hang in the air for a few beats, before...”It Has Got To Make a Comeback, it’s a new Century, after all...”

A small chuckle moves from Brennan as he hears the request for the Mullet, raising his eyebrow a bit, slowlyyy before holding out his hand to the screen. "You have yourself a Deal."

Hot Take: Because of the pandemic, 2020 will be the year the mullet makes a comeback.

Let’s make it happen

[chat-chouage]

2020 predictions:

shoulder padding and pastel coloured sports jackets will make a comeback, and so will the mullet

[inthecut-takamichihair]

The Return Of The Mullet

If you haven’t noticed, one particularly divisive hairstyle has recently staged a dramatic comeback.

That’s right: we’re talking about the mullet. In simple terms, it's a “haircut that’s a bit longer in the back of the head than the front,” says Kathryn Gardner, a stylist at Takamichi Hair.

As for the reasons behind the style’s sudden resurgence, there are several. During the pandemic, many people were craving change to break up the monotony and fatigue of being stuck at home. And the mullet was an easy, dramatic way to transform one’s look. (All you need is a pair of clippers.)

Gardner also credits the power of celebrity. A few days into 2020, Miley Cyrus debuted her shaggy new mullet to over 130 million followers on Instagram. Then, as the country was forced into lockdown mid-March, Americans found solace in TV (hello, Joe Exotic from Tiger King) and social media, where famous figures ranging from pop star Troye Sivan to Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams flaunted their edgy crops. And last fall, Rihanna captured the world’s attention by sending several models (including Cara Delevingne) down the runway with mullets for her second Savage x Fenty presentation.

Though the mullet’s been known for being a more extreme look, Gardner assures that stylists  can “tweak it and make it work for the now.” Recently, she cut a version she calls the “pixie mullet,” which was “was well-blended from short to long but also had shorter textures throughout to accentuate the mullet feel.” As you can see from the photo, it’s far softer and wearable than the mullets you’ve been accustomed to seeing.

Another perk to modern mullets is that they complement a range of hair textures, and are a breeze to style. “I generally like to see some texture, so I recommend a texturizing or sea salt spray for finer hair and a shiny paste or texture cream for thicker hair,” explains Gardner. It also looks terrific when all slicked back. And for maintenance, Gardner says to “either trim the back to catch up to the front, or keep it growing for a longer, layered look.”

The Importance of Being Vinyl

The musical sensation began back with Thomas Edison’s first phonograph back in 1877, which played back sound from wax cylinders coated in tin foil. Evolution then took its natural cause and suddenly the world was introduced to the vinyl record and the turntable, which ultimately became a mainstay in most households. In the mid-1960s, along came cassettes and 8-track tapes, making it easy to play your favourite tunes in the comfort of your car. The convenience of recorded music couldn’t get any better.

Once digital recording was invented, we were greeted to CDs and then to digital streaming, which is currently at an all-time high right now, with individuals listening to more than 32 hours per week. You would have thought the evolution of digital recording would have seen off vinyl players, but you couldn’t be more wrong.

Sales of vinyl have gone up over 10% this year, putting it on track to break the £100 million mark by the end of 2020, making it the best year for vinyl since 1990. What a remarkable comeback, considering the physical music market sunk by almost half in March when the first nationwide lockdown forced high street retailers to close.

Drew Hill, managing director of Proper Music, the UK’s biggest independent distributor of vinyl and CDs, told The Guardian: “We have seen 250% growth from the bottom of lockdown to where we are now. I thought it could be catastrophic for the industry but during lockdown the kind of people buying records also went to a lot of gigs.” But aside from the fact fans can not go to gigs, spending their money on vinyl instead, there are still various other reasons as to why there has been a sudden resurgence of vinyl sales this year.

Firstly, it is the nostalgic experience of the older generations who grew up with vinyl players. For them, they have seen the big round phenomenon go in and out of fashion like a pair of Chuck Taylor’s Converse. For this generation, the listening experience invokes a musical memory that allows them to travel back to the first time they listened to music on vinyl and provides some comfort and familiarity, along with a brilliant quality sound.

For the modern generation, vinyl is used for its ‘cool factor’. According to MusicWatch, nearly half of all current vinyl record buyers are under the age of 25. That is quite remarkable. A vast amount of millennials have made an increased attempt at taking dated concepts such as mullets, corduroy jeans, and fedoras and making them relevant again. Much like a vinyl record.

However, this may be doing a disservice to the loyal vinyl listeners. Whilst many do listen for the nostalgic effect, or to follow the latest trend, many people still listen to vinyl for their devoted love of music, and the incredible sound quality. For the true vinyl lovers, there is a huge thrill of finding a rare LP in a random cardboard box at a record shop, or car boot sale. As for the sound quality, various experts have suggested that the old-school analog audio provided by vinyl actually sounds superior to digital audio.

Whatever the reason for listening to vinyl on an old record player, be it to reconnect with your youth, to follow a current trend, or because you find it culturally preferable due to the rustic yet authentic sound, there is no way that the vinyl industry is dying out. If anything, the 1900s sensation is proving its worth on its way back to the top.

1989 called; it wants its colour back

Colour expert Pantone has announced its colour of the year for 2019.

Living Coral - Pantone 16-1546 for those of you that prefer your colours to have a number - is a warm and vibrant shade, already a fixture on many an Instagram account and fashion show runway.

Our creative director, Martyn Seiles, kicks back on a 1980s settee in his on-point sneakers to take a closer look at this energising hue that is described as representing the fusion of modern life.

When I purchased my Puma X Han Kjøbenhavn coral trainers last year, who knew I’d be leading the charge for this most 80s of shades?

Kanye West’s clothing brand Yeezy has also just dropped a coral accent sneaker and now that it has been named as 2019’s colour of the year, you can rest assured that there’ll be a whole host of other fashion and design taking its cue from this bold colour.

Pantone describes Living Coral as “An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge” and add that it “embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment.”

A little bit pretentious perhaps, but you can see where they are coming from; a nice bright colour can do wonders for the soul on a dreary day, and given the current state of much of the political and social landscape, there are plenty of days that need a splash of colour.

I’m certainly not surprised that it has been chosen for the colour of 2019; with 80s and 90s vibes both in vogue, a current take on a retro colour is an obvious choice.

Hats off by the way to Adria, who, like me, were ahead of the curve in 2018 with their coral infused soft furnishing accents in their motorhomes (The picture incidentally is the aptly named Adria Coral Axess 670 SC).

In another of Pantone’s extravagant descriptions, Living Coral is described as a reaction to “the onslaught of digital technology and social media increasingly embedding into daily life,” and many people are, they say “seeking authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy.” That concept is certainly familiar across the mobile leisure industry, as more people than ever seek to reconnect with the outdoors and leave their everyday lives at home as they enjoy adventures and experiences with friends and family.

For all this, I’m not sure how much of an impact Living Coral will make with caravan, campervan and motorhome manufacturers, which is a bit of a shame, it would be nice to see all manufacturers taking more notice of, and responding to the colours that are in season. For those of us old enough to remember it the first time round, the thought of a coral comeback is a distressing one, but this is not the insipid, salmony eyesore of yester-year. Instead think bold accents against warm greys, pair it with teal and dark French blues for a fresh look. Keep lines and designs clean and sharp and the coral will work its magic.

While neutral greys, creams and browns rightly look set to stay as the main upholstery colours in leisure homes, it is easy to introduce seasonal accents, which in turn is a cost-effective way to keep your caravan, lodge or motorhome completely on trend and ahead of the crowd.

Living Coral does make a great seasonal, spring colour, so keep your eyes peeled as I’m already looking forward to using the colour in a campaign for at least one lucky customer!

Let’s just hope that the Pantone Colour of the Year 2020 isn’t a soft mint green, or powder grey, otherwise we’ll be mullet-deep in polished chrome and 8-bit synth music before you know it.

Could Dr DisRespect Book Reveal More About Twitch Ban?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Guy Beahm, better known as the popular live streamer Dr DisRespect, has written a book that will reveal new details about his life and career as a streamer. The book is titled Dr DisRespect: Violence. Speed. Momentum. — a reference to his slogan and aggressive style of play in shooters like Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and others. It’s out on March 30 from Gallery Books.

“As one of gaming’s most recognizable and provocative personalities, Dr DisRespect finally reveals what it’s really like being the biggest global streaming sensation and, in his factual opinion, the greatest gamer in history,” reads the book’s official synopsis. “Featuring exclusive, never-before-told stories from his career and thoughtful advice on everything from growing superior mullets to thoroughly dominating life, this memoir is as unique and unforgettable as its subject.”

Previously announced in February, the streamer unveiled a first look at the cover and the pre-order page on Twitter:

VIOLENCE. SPEED. MOMENTUM. This is my first book, and it’ll definitely be a huge, massive, record-breaking bestseller. Pre Order Now! – https://t.co/KjB8OXYfIt pic.twitter.com/pKi2czplEn

— Dr Disrespect (@drdisrespect) August 17, 2020

“The Champions Club demands the legend of Dr Disrespect be told,” wrote Dr Disrespect in an emailed statement to The Verge in February. “While best read off the base of Mt. Olympus, fans worldwide will soon marvel at my history’s secrets. You’re welcome.”

The book reveal couldn’t be more timely. It comes just weeks after Beahm was banned from Twitch for reasons that remain a mystery. Since Beahm was booted from the platform where he boasted over 4 million followers on June 28, neither party has opened up as to reasons behind the ban. In interviews and on his comeback stream on YouTube in early August, Beahm even claimed that he didn’t even know why he’d been expelled from the service.

“A lot of people wanna know… they wanna know what happened.’ Why did you get banned?’” Beahm said during his first stream on YouTube. “Guess what? I want you to look me in the fucking eyes when I say this, okay? We still have no idea. We have no idea. And I’m gonna tell you this right now – as far as I’m concerned, we didn’t do anything to warrant a ban, let alone how they went about banning us. No communication before. No reaching out. Nothing. Boom. Done.”

Beahm’s short statement on the ban echoed what he said during his interviews with The Washington Post and PC Gamer back in July, the first time he opened up about the situation since being booted from Twitch on June 28. During those interviews, Beahm revealed that Twitch hadn’t even informed him of the ban until after he’d reached out to the company directly. He said that he initially found out about the ban while watching someone else’s stream. Twitch has since cut off all communication with Beahm, according to the streamer.

“Yeah, that’s the kind of the mind-blowing thing about all of this,” Beahm told PC Gamer. “Obviously, for legal counsel, I have to be careful here. But I can say however, that I will not be returning to Twitch, so, I mean, that’s it.”

At the time of the ban, a Twitch spokesperson offered news outlets only a generic statement on the matter: “As is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. These apply to all streamers regardless of status or prominence in the community.”

A violation of Twitch’s community guidelines or terms of service can mean many things, from a DMCA copyright violation to something much worse. Many theories have been posted online and spread on Twitter, Reddit, and other forums. Some, like a 4chan rumor that Beahm had left Twitch to start a new streaming platform called Brime, were debunked. Other rumors and reports, including one by streaming industry insider Rod Breslau which points to a more serious reason behind Beahm’s Twitch ban, have yet to be proven true or false.

The ban came just months after Beahm signed a multi-year exclusivity deal with Twitch, locking him into the platform at a time when other popular streamers like Ninja and Shroud had been poached by Microsoft for its own Mixer streaming service, which was recently shut down. Beahm confirmed to The Washington Post that Twitch had voided his contract. The streamer had stood to earn $10 million per year from the deal, according to Kotaku.

Beahm has said that he’s exploring legal action against Twitch, as the ban had broken a “heavy contract.” He said that he would let “the legal professionals do what they need to do.”

But in the meantime, could Beahm’s memoir shed more light on the situation or will he stick to his character, presenting a grandiose picture of the self-proclaimed “greatest gamer in history?” Judging from how he’s addressed the Twitch ban so far, it’s more likely that we’ll get some answers from a potential court case than the upcoming memoir.

One thing is for sure, Beahm’s fans are still hungry for answers. We’ll of course keep you updated as we learn more.

For now, check out the full cover of Beahm’s book below:
