CHILDREN'S FASHION

Something that i want to explore further is the idea of including kidswear as part of my collection, growing up i would wear extrevagant sleeves and dresses, and so i wanted to include the idfea that there is no age limit to style. Therefore to be able to create designs that include this concept i wanted to do some research into childrens styles.

[destroyer-of-planets]

Okay, I have been wanting to make this post for a long time. Today is David Bowie's birthday, so I have decided to make a post about my experience as a fan. I am about to unload many things, including some dark things that I will now warn you about. With that being said, let's go.

Throughout my childhood, I believe I have seen Bowie related things that I didn't even know he made. From the song Fame to the character Lord Royal Highness, I was not aware of his existence, and significance.

Cut to late 2018. I was pretty into the band Queen at the time. I've been into them since the middle of 2017, but this post isn't about them so I won't mention them much in this post, but I don't love them any less. Still, they are somewhat significant to me as they were the gateway to Bowie. A parent of mine introduced me to him, and I thought his eyes were very cool. We ended up watching his music video for Lazarus, and it was very deep and even terrifying. I appreciated how strange his style was. I was told about how he sang a song with Queen, titled "Under Pressure". 4 months later, and I heard the song one day at school. I heard the part Cause love's such an old fashioned word and I fell in love with the song. It almost made me cry. I also happened to hear "Let's Dance" and I thought it was cool. I kind of embraced Bowie, but was not that interested in him at the time. 4 months after that, I tried to get into him but failed. I was weirded out by the Ziggy Stardust persona, as well as the Aladdin Sane persona, who had very strange and unique designs, almost like coulrophobia.

Now, in February 2020, things get interesting. I decided to get back into Queen since I missed looking at fan related content I looked at in the spring of 2019, so I looked at it again, and then I decided to create my own. I still was kind of fond of Bowie, so I decided to include him in my fanworks. I became curious as well. What was his music career like? What music did he make? What did he do all these years? I became interested in his fanworks as well, and decided to listen to a song. This song was "Five Years" and hoo boy. It was very wild. Needless to say, it was the first and probably only time I heard Bowie cry. It was haunting. It made me cry too, as I oddly felt sympathetic for him. I was interested completely, and a parent and I got a cd titled Best of Bowie. I fell in love with "Changes" and "Ashes to Ashes", and much more. Throughout the spring and summer of 2020, I listened to many songs from him. I also discovered many other personas, and they grew on me, and I finally wasn't weirded out and confused anymore. Of course, throughout all of this, I was confused about two of my favorite songs. Who was the starman in "Starman?" Ziggy or someone else? Who was that guy with the blue suit in the music video for "Life on Mars?"? Ziggy? The starman even? Bowie himself? Someone else? I never found the answer to these questions, but I still had fun regardless. Moving on…

I also uploaded art of Bowie's various characters on DeviantArt, and I had a fun time doing so. I have met wonderful people that were just as interested in him. I was also curious about Instagram in the fall of 2020, and decided to upload my art there. I met many wonderful people there too. Sadly, I got worn out by Instagram, and it caused me to be apathetic towards Bowie, so I took a break during the spring and summer of 2021. I tried to come back to it that fall, but I decided to abandon it and later delete it in the winter for personal reasons. I decided to just keep my board of him on my Pinterest, my art in DeviantArt, a Reddit post I made (although I try not to use Reddit regularly) and then my random commentaries on here. Since I have done so, I have felt much better and no longer have felt apathetic towards his work. So I'll get into it next month. That being said...

Let's rewind for a moment. Remember when I said that I was into Bowie in the summer of 2020? Something happened around that time that shook me. Because this situation is so sensitive, I am going to be extremely vague as possible as I do not want to make any mistakes here. I don't even remember how I discovered it, but I discovered a very dark article one day and it scared me. I have forgotten about it until March of 2021, and I had a long anxiety attack about it many days in the spring and summer of 2021, but I eventually got over it. After reading debunking posts and being reassured by my friends, I was once feeling better again. Now that I think about it, perhaps the reason why I ignored it the first time was because I read a few debunking posts but forgot about them and even forgot it was debunked.

So I say all of this to say this. I love David Bowie, and his music, and personas, and creativity. However, I am downtrodden by his death, as well as the false rumors. Please don't buy into the rumors, and this is a cautionary tale to be very very VERY careful of what you read online.

I am so sorry this happened to you, Bowie.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

And stay tuned for new posts.

Happy birthday Starman!!!

[wsminho]

a beautiful flower has blossomed! hiii you can call me calla lily (18+, she/her, pst) and i’m bringing today mister jang minho, resident sunshine boy and local dumbass member of ysboys. his brain is just baby shark playing on repeat while a little hamster in a hamster wheel runs aimlessly. hit the heart button if you want to plot or if you have discord and hate tumblr ims as much as i do, add me on discord at baby calla lily#9998. in the mean time the tldr of minho is below!

profile | career | biography | wanted connections | pinterest

background

born july 10, 2000. a summer baby! a cancer! i actually don’t know anything about astrological signs and neither does minho! but he sees it’s a little crab and he loves crabs, they’re so cute and oddly shaped. 

the third and youngest child to a wealthy family in seoul. he was born legit like 20 years after his older sister and everyone was really shocked when his mom popped him out. well. technically she didn’t pop him out, but according to the law, he’s hers, so take that. is actually his older brother’s kid but he doesn’t know that and will NEVER know that (or will he)

grew up pretty spoiled like. had wealthy parents who missed having kids at home and suddenly all the restrictions and expectations put on his older siblings vanished when he was born. a pampered little baby. way too shameless and brave. 

became an enormous etoile fan in 2017 when he was in the hospital and watched their debut stage. ran decently sized fan website bonboncentral. really made the most of his english classes doing those translations and pushing forward the bonbon agenda. 

was scouted at an etoile fanmeeting and decided to audition because he loves to be loved and he was very much sold on the sparkly, pretty part of being an idol

was literally so bad. so so so bad. you know that story about svt’s mingyu literally clapping along to the national anthem in flip flops during his pledis audition? yeah. it was like that. he clapped along to an etoile song and did a little shimmy here and there and the panel was like i guess he’s pretty and he could theoretically be given some technique. 

has improved a lot from the mediocre trainee he was before to solidly average! he’s not going to be top of technique anytime soon in any category, but he makes up for it by being charming and cute and giving really great performances so you can kind of forget the fact his dancing isn’t all that consistent and his voice isn’t that amazing. 

personality

not legally a dumbass, but like. he’s a dumbass. was once told to film a cover for the ysboys yt content and ended up falling asleep so the media department got like 15 minutes of dancing and 3 hours of a boy napping. top of his class in math but lacks any critical thinking skills. was asked to contribute to the snack fund and went “lets get some bananas how much could they be? 10,000 won?” 

the energy is similar to this tweet about jason mendoza from the good place

a good boy even when he misbehaves

has his head stuck in the clouds and can be a little self-involved in the sense he doesn’t really realize “oh my actions have consequences that extend beyond myself”

affords himself and others the grace and mercy he was given as a child

really sweet and outgoing and friendly! just naive and sheltered. believes in the best in people.

although mean comments and whatnot kind of fly over his head. voted most likely to be scammed more than once. honestly probably a great prank victim because he’s so gullible

feels everything at 200%. literally can not shut off how passionate this boy is about everything he loves and cares about. will deep dive into a random hobby and it becomes one of his prominent personality traits. has the confidence of someone who has never been shut down as a child. is a BIT embarrassed by all the teasing about being the former mod of bonboncentral (he gave it away when he became a trainee and cried a little bit because that was his baby) but he also! is really happy when he thinks about it and all the friends he made!

fun facts

surprisingly good at math. all his braincells went here and literally no where else

likes to fly kites

collects tea cups and mugs. always starts his morning with a cup of tea because that’s what he used to do with his mom growing up. has shelves and shelves of different types of tea

is really interested in fashion and make up! thinks its so cool and neat! even if he dresses like a rainbow vomited on him

he keeps trying to be a person who reads but there’s a book on his bedside table that he hasn’t gotten past chapter 2 of. he’s had it for two years. 

needs glasses but literally never wears them. 

talks about his cabbages. he doesn’t grow them. the gardener grows them. he simply visits them when he goes home every week and talks to them because national geographic said that plants grow bigger and better if they hear lovely things

him, someone who grew tall and also heard lovely things growing up: o.o okay!

Taylor Swift Sparks Engagement Rumors With New Song Lyrics

We have heard the rumors earlier than—however this time they is probably genuine! AZlyrics

Church bells are integrated into wedding ceremonies as a symbol of abundance and prosperity; the ringing of bells turned into frequently believed to keep off evil spirits. in advance, we look at by using breaking down the various interpretations and origins in the back of the 9aaf3f374c58e8c9dcdd1ebf10256fa5 tradition and communicate to wedding planner Heather Dwight. The history and which means of wedding Bells "The ringing of bells at weddings is a subculture that may be traced returned to Celtic lands, including Scotland, wherein it turned into believed that the ringing of church bells could beat back evil spirits as well as grant desires," says Heather Dwight. "Bells have been first rung inside the church buildings in Scotland to announce the newlyweds." begin a marriage with out evil spirits? Sounds good to us! The ringing of bells become also used as a manner to unfold the information throughout long distances, so bells after a marriage permit the whole region recognise that the couple became now thankfully married. Bells maintain to play a outstanding position in contemporary weddings. It’s not uncommon for wedding ceremony bells to ring after a church ceremony to rejoice a couple's union. moreover, brides have located creative methods to comprise bells into their ceremonies, from wedding ceremony reception décor to personalised wedding ceremony favors for guests. Echoing that sentiment, Dwight adds, "Bells have also been historically used as a frequent image of marriage on diverse decorations. It’s not unusual to see two bells joined at the pinnacle with a bow symbolizing the connection between  human beings." wedding Bells FAQs What does the sound of wedding ceremony bells signify? while the superstition about evil spirits won't be so common nowadays, the pleased sound of bells and their association with weddings has caught around. Bells are often tolled at church after a marriage rite (every so often through the newlyweds themselves) to mark their grand go out. What do wedding ceremony bells characterize in a wedding? primarily based on cultural traditions, it’s commonplace for bells to be integrated into wedding ceremony ceremonies to symbolize abundance and prosperity. Irish weddings will frequently see the bride and groom receiving a bell as a marriage present or a Bells of eire flower (an annual summer season bloom it is symbolic of properly good fortune) incorporated into the bride’s bouquet. In Guatemala, the groom’s mother breaks a white ceramic bell—which is filled with grains, along with rice and flour—as a sign of proper fortune to the newlyweds. In each of these instances, the wedding bells are used to symbolize the begin of your new destiny collectively. How else can wedding ceremony bells can be integrated right into a rite? every other manner is to include small bells that is probably exceeded out to guests to ring, either as the couple exits the church or at some point of the reception as an encouragement to kiss—just like the clinking of wine glasses. The sound of bells is also purported to remind the couple of the vows they've made as a commitment to each other. in which must you supply bells for your wedding ceremony? at the same time as some couples will use a bell this is been passed down as a own family heirloom to ring at their wedding ceremony, it truly is no longer the only path. in case you plan on handing out wedding ceremony bells as birthday party favors or the use of them for ornamental purposes, it is worth checking out the selection at your nearby craft store. For personalized engraved wedding bells, Etsy does not disappoint. How are wedding bells used for decorative functions? whether or not you have seen them on Pinterest (possibly, you've even delivered them in your dream wedding ceremony temper board) or observed them being used as reception table décor at a rite you have attended, bells have become increasingly more popular. while used as decoration, you'll most usually locate  bells tied collectively with a bow to represent two human beings joined together in marriage. how to include wedding ceremony Bells no matter how you choose to incorporate them, the glad sound of ringing bells is a lovely addition to any wedding ceremony day. Dwight recollects  precise weddings wherein bells performed a primary position in joining  people together. One wedding ceremony—with ties to the Tibetan subculture— "integrated Tibetan bells into their rite and in lieu of ring bearers, that they had bell ringers who rang bells previous to the bride strolling down the aisle," Dwight says. "additionally they rang the bells to begin the recessional after [the newlyweds] had been pronounced husband and spouse." "In every other wedding we had, bells have been positioned on every visitor's seat. as the couple turned into mentioned husband and wife, the visitors rang out the bells in birthday party of the glad couple." sure, we realize this isn't the first time engagement rumors have sparked between the duo. but, this information feels loads more promising—or at the least we hope! In a recent interview with fashion (swift graces the quilt of the ebook's coveted September trouble), the Grammy-award winning songstress shared lyrics and they're well, thrilling. The identify tune, "Lover," features a bridge that goes, "My coronary heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue. All’s nicely that ends properly to grow to be with you.” The words quickly led Swifties to assume that the singer is alluding to the age-antique proverb of wearing something borrowed and something blue on one's wedding ceremony day. for this reason, some other spherical of engagement rumors. The pair, who have been first connected in 2017, has on account that moved to London together and has stored plenty in their dating out of the public eye. “Joe may be very eager on presenting soon,” stated a supply in November 2018. “but he desires to make it unforgettable and extraordinarily unique.” It became also reported in March that speedy wishes "some thing stylish and easy" when it comes to an engagement ring. swift is thought for leaving her lovers with a trail of Easter egg fashion clues. simply scroll through her Instagram, watch her most current music films or listen to literally any of her songs and you will quick see all of her mysterious messages. So, her leaving us this little clue isn't a shock. in the end, she does take inspiration from her relationships! the total song, in addition to the album, may not be launched till August 23. Does that suggest we will subsequently get confirmation from the singer? both way, we are rooting for rapid because after having her honest share of heartbreak, this woman deserves lengthy-lasting love.

[hlupdate]

Harry Styles is lucky I think he's utterly adorable. He's an hour late and I'm guilt-ridden, missing my puppy's first day at puppy school because of it.

Is this what it's like to be a working mum? Maybe. Styles would be horrified if he knew, I'm certain. He is a man of the people, a self-proclaimed feminist, who could surely sympathise with this working (dog) mum's plight.

They say never meet your heroes in case they turn out to be a disappointment, but maybe they should also say never meet your favourite pop stars in case they turn out to be truly terrible at time management.

I first met Styles alongside four of his teenage friends in 2012. It was just a few years since they'd formed One Direction on The X Factor, and this was their first world tour. They were lined up on chintzy armchairs in the private lounge of a stuffy Auckland hotel. That day, a bit like this one, I spent more time sitting in the hallway waiting for my turn than I did interviewing them.

Barely 18, Styles was clearly the charming one, the one with the floppy hair. Some of his bandmates refused to even say hello but he was warm and quick with a cheeky quip.

It suddenly made sense to me why a young girl, from deep inside the throng of screaming fans camped outside, had begged me to slip him a handwritten note simply saying, "I love you."

Those early days are a lifetime ago, and what happened next is now the stuff of legend. One Direction went on to redefine the term "boy band" for an entire generation. They made five albums in four years, won more than 200 awards, toured the world four times and were ranked as the second-highest earning celebrities in the world by Forbes in 2016, the year after the wheels famously fell off. Zayn Malik left the band in 2015 and eventually One Direction went on a break, the kind with no obvious end date.

It hasn't hurt Styles' rise to fame in the slightest. No, he is the 1D member it's cool for grown-ups to like. He's the 20-something love child of Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Stevie Nicks, pushing the envelope through perfect good pop songs and that cheeky smile.

He has dated famous women (think Kardashian-adjacent Kendall Jenner, and Taylor Swift famously wrote songs about their short-lived relationship), toured the world alone and buddied up with Anna Wintour to host the Met Gala.

Styles' first solo, self-titled album was released in 2017, he's taken up acting, appearing in Christopher Nolan's World War II epic Dunkirk, and co-written songs for the likes of Michael Buble and Ariana Grande.

The shackles of being part of a commercially savvy behemoth are gone, and now his personality is coming to the fore. Maybe his stint in the cookiecutter pop group proved enough self-censorship to last a lifetime, or maybe it's just what happens when you get older – Styles just turned 26 – but these days, the young man from Cheshire can't be bothered to people please any more. Instead, he's simply living.

"I had a dream day recently – well, it was in summer," he says from a chilly New York City.

"I was with some friends and we took bikes down to this little lake and we went swimming and had some food and listened to music and we were in the countryside, and then we biked back from the lake and had dinner, I read a little and went to bed. The times I'm happiest are when I'm surrounded by friends and people I care about, talking."

It was during his last world tour, his first without his former bandmates, that he decided being happy is what was  most important, not doing what he thought people – fans, record labels, bandmates – expected of him.

"The best way of describing it was just realising people wanted me to be myself and that's what they came to the show for," he says.

"The last album wasn't necessarily a radio record, but they were still coming to the shows and singing along. It showed they wanted me to be making what I wanted to make – and they wanted to come and join in with that, I guess.

"It's probably more important to be real, I guess, than to be making stuff so people like it. Realising that was a big moment for me."

For Styles that liberation has shown itself in many ways, from openly talking about discovering magic mushrooms (he bit off the tip of his tongue during one session), to embracing a type of gender fluidity in the clothes he wears and the fashion choices he makes. Yes, there are Pinterest boards dedicated to every time he has worn nail polish and no, he doesn't like talking about his own sexual identity, previously telling The Guardian: "It's, who cares? Does that make sense? It's just, who cares?"

Would any of that have been a topic of conversation during his One Direction days? Probably not. But through it all, by tabloid  standards, he's remained relatively well-adjusted and scandal-free. Not bad for a kid who, 10 years ago this April, stumbled on to a TV singing show stage aged just 16, and months later was part of the biggest phenomenon to hit pop music in years.

There have been things he has had to learn the hard way, of course, including just how much of himself he really shares with fans. Being a teenager, and suddenly famous, meant there was a time he felt he had to give almost everything – it was simply part of the job.

"When I moved to London and started in music, I was so young, first of all. It wasn't like I knew what was going to happen," he says.

"You are just encouraged to give so much of yourself, and through experiencing different things, I learnt what I liked and what I was comfortable with, and what I didn't like and wasn't comfortable with.

"For me, as things have happened, I go, 'OK, if I give a bit too much of myself away, I don't like it that much.' So, I did it a little bit less and I guess I'm just a lot happier doing it that way.

"And I don't really talk about personal stuff in interviews and stuff, I try and keep that side of my life pretty private. Music, I find it really therapeutic to write that way, it's my outlet for saying how I feel about stuff."

It's a fairly meta experience to have someone you are interviewing tell you, without any aggression or agenda, that they just don't really talk about themselves in interviews, but there it is.

It's not that he's a closed book – he's right, the songs on his latest album, Fine Line, are full of raw emotion about breakups, sex and self-reflection, much more so than other writing he's done. He doesn't want to be that upbeat kid whose job it was to make everyone else comfortable, but equally, he says performing these songs and this side of him will be a special, powerful moment when his Fine Line world tour begins – including a return trip to New Zealand in November.

"I try not to think about the 'putting out' part of the music while I'm making it, and that plays a part in how personal I can get while making it, I guess. I write as if it's for me, and I'm lucky enough to work with a group of people who create an environment where I can be honest and vulnerable when I'm writing.

"And by the time it comes to putting it out, that's when I go, 'Oh, is this too personal?'" he says. "And usually the answer is no, because that's the kind of music I want to make."
