| Alright, so I read the March issue last night. I jumped
the gun a bit. I was going to wait until the month of March was actually here
but I couldn't hold back! I had flashbacks of when I was a teenager when I
read through this issue. All of the sudden I am a sophomore in high school. I
am putting my outfits together so that I can look awesome at school. Oh, I hope
that cute senior talks too me today in the hallway!! The excitement and sheer
terror of the slim possibility, a barely noticed sophomore, just makes my
heart jump out of my chest. He's so cute and how could he not talk to me, I
mean, I read Seventeen last night and it's entirety, therefore, I have all
that I need to look cute, flirt, and make out....right??? No, that's not even
close. I don't have the coolest new clothes that all the popular girls do and
I have this mop on my head, also called natural curly hair. I don't know how
to put on make-up but I wear it. ** IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE ** (Girls,
that's a disaster, if you don't know how to put it on get someone who does
know how to apply make-up properly to help you, otherwise you'll look like
you had a fight with the rainbow.) Anyway, here I am wearing jeans, a
tee-shirt and sneakers with my hair in a ponytail, so cute I know. Oh, and
here's something to chew on, I mentioned I have curly hair, imagine this-I
wear my curly hair in a pony tail and I straighten my bangs. WHAT?!!! Yeah,
that's right, I did that. Stop judging, we all make mistakes in life. Back to
my story, I woke up that morning with every intention of looking as cute as
Alicia Silverstone in the movie, Clueless. I just didn't understand,
that morning I tried on my cute outfit on and I didn't look anything like
Alicia. Needless to say, I stuck with my regular attire. What's the story
here, you may ask? The point to this story is, I turned out to be a normal
adult who eventually learned how to dress, flirt and how to put on make-up
and as far as learning how to make-out...well that's none of your business. If you're a
tween/teen reading this, don't fret, you'll be fine. Life goes on and when
you get older you all the sudden acquire this confidence and it's great.
Ok, back to the topic of the blog.
Here's what I learned from my readings. Fashion has changed but I'm ok with
it. Here's What To Wear NOW! Neons, Nauticals, Crochet, Pleats, Sheer,
Florals, Asymmetrical, Edgy Boho, Batik, and Metallic. From my understanding,
I believe you can wear these together. Honestly, I've always wanted to wear
polka-dots and stripes together. So, here's my chance to do that before it
becomes so not cool. Oh, and another thing that's really popular is to wear
really high wasted pants/shorts/skirts etc. They are super cute but on me it
would look like my butt is in the front. Moving along, platform shoes are a
must this season as well. That's one thing I can wear and look good in!
Nicki Minaj is the hottest thing
to hit the world at this time. I think she is a really awesome role model.
She's creative, confident, and just owns it! You go girl!
As usual, there is the, How to
lose weight, spill. Jordan Sparks, singer, accomplished her goal by agreeing
to try Seventeen's Body Peace Project. This project is a vow to love and
respect your body-That means feeding it well, working up a sweat when it
needs it, and knowing when to give it a break too. I like this.
Now, here are the pick-up lines
for the young ladies to use. Below are the scenarios and what to say in these
situations.
Out at the Club-"I told my
friends you were cute, so she dared me to say hi." (This is acceptable)
On your volunteer
trip-"You're a pro! Have you done this before?" (Would you say this
to a guy who is using a hammer?)
At the snack stand-"So,
what's good here?" (That's just silly if they have snack stand food,
it's not a fancy place)
Playing beach volleyball-"Can
we get in on the next game?" (Ok, this is makes the most sense)
Here's something that will help
you in choosing the right man (as I snicker to myself.) All you need to
notice...ready? What style sunglasses he's sporting. For example:
Aviators=he's mature
Wayfarers=he's cool
Neon=he's fun
Trendy=he's hard to get
Glad we got that covered so ladies
pay attention to details---> go for the Aviator guy. If you snagged a
Trendy guy then you may need to flip to the next article and read, Sneaky
Ways to Tell He's Over You. And then after reading that article you'll need
to flip to the, Weird Hookup Behaviors Explained. It's very cut and dry so
there's no excuse to not understanding your current situation with a guy, ha!
The article that surprised me is,
Sex In College. I really shouldn't use the word surprised but I know young
girls read this magazine (who are much younger than 17) and they are reading
exactly what I just read. My take on this article is that well, sex is being
had all over and, as much as I don't want to acknowledge it, sex is taking
place with the young folks more than ever. I don't think young kids (anyone
under 18) should be having sex anyway. I guess call me a hypocrite because
when I was a teen I made terrible decisions and the consequences are always there to greet you afterwards. But, I don't think kids in elementary/middle/high schools
should be getting it on! Listen youngsters, you shouldn't have any time on
your hands for sexy time. Don't you have homework,
soccer/basketball/football/tennis/ practice, friends to hang out with, braces
to floss, chores etc., to do???? You do, so do them and worry about the adult
stuff at a later date.
Well, I suppose that's all I have
in me this go round. I'll report on the April issue soon. Until then, be
cool.
