Entertainment, Advice, The Average Joe, and of course my own personal woes... What will I talk about? Who knows? I've decided that I need a larger space to record my countless rants. Like to hear it? Here it goes...
Although the picture on the right was taken in September, it is apparent that he is dressed in costume. However, what is the lady's excuse on the left? The real difference? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! It's the exact same outfit, except for the fact that the gentleman on the right opted for white faux fur and no jacket.
I'm already not a huge fan of animal prints, because you seldom find a person who knows how to successfully pull it off. You can go from stylish to cheap and tawdry in a New York Minute. Case & Point... this woman is wearing wide leg pants, a knee-length jacket and a damn top hat. She looks a cross between Cruella De'vil and The Mad Hatter. The poor man walking behind her appears to be in a hypnotic trance, induced by leopard overload.
One of my primary issues with animal prints is the fact that it can often come off as whorish. For those packing some serious pounds, it can make you look as if you just escaped from the wild.
Here are some tips ladies... don't purchase any skirts, pants, or leggings (and I'd be very cautious of dresses) in an animal print. Remember less is more!!! For the novice/wanna be fashionista, stick with accessories. A THIN belt, handbag, scarf, maybe a small headband (NO HAT), or a pair of shoes (careful they're tricky - shouldn't be fully printed). Don't go overboard. You surely don't want to throw on all of these items because it will be counterproductive. Leave the bolder pieces such as dresses, jackets and blouses to the pros.
Lastly... for the love of God, don't purchase any animal prints in fun colors i.e. pink, baby blue.
Now take a look at animal print done right:

While checking out music videos on YouTube, I came across a treasure from Lady Gaga. She has an interesting video for her song, "Paparazzi." I am not much of a fan when it comes to music videos, because very few artists rarely step outside of the box and give us something different. Hell, Beyonce won Video of the Year Award for gyrating her hips, thrusting her pelvis and shaking her ass; much like she does in each of her narcissistic videos. Anyway, back on to Gaga...
Sex, fame, revenge, and murder make for one intriguing and visually stimulating video. Take a look:
On it's face, Gaga's video depicts a stalker, vying for the attention of a star, in hopes of latching onto their fame. However, in my opinion, "Paparazzi" (both the video and the lyrics) takes us through a narrative portrayal of the price of fame by illustrating the intrusive and often damaging nature of the media.
Well, done Ms. Gaga. You're crazy as all hell, but you surely demonstrate what artistic expression is all about.
In 1988 she co-starred alongside Sigourney Weaver in the touching film, Gorillas in the Mist.
It wasn't until 10 years later that she would reclaim her fame, snagging the lead self-titled role of Mighty Joe Young.
Once again, more than 10 years later, she is returning to the big screen to star in the riveting sequel, Mighty Joe Gold.
A Cense and Censibility Street Correspondent stumbled into Ms. Joe at a local city bus stop and asked for the inside scoop on her upcoming film. Regretfully, Ms. Joe declined to comment. However you're in luck... Street Correspondent, Monica, managed to snap a shot of Mighty Joe as she patiently awaited the bus.
Still sporting her bleached gold locks, Ms. Joe donned a T-Strapped tank, exposing her ample back. The tank's hue blended in wonderfully with her skin tone. Luckily the white lines of distinction didn't cause mayhem with Air Traffic Control.
Because of this audacious look, she was mistaken for the Michelin Man, thus escaping the grasp of poachers.
Special thanks to Monica for the photo of Mighty Joe Gold. You too can be a Censibility Street Correspondent. Simply snap a photo or two when you witness a hot mess in public and email them to me at Censibility@gmail.com
What is the fascination with the seemingly masochistic craze of tattoos? People pay an excessive amount of money to have ink jabbed into their skin via the equivalent of a dental drill. I have a small tattoo on my upper arm that was the result of boredom, impulse, and spontaneity.
If you haven't already joined this inked society, I would think twice before doing so. The following is an example of the distasteful nature of many tats: How tacky could she possibly be? If you are going to get a tattoo, you should certainly refrain from placing them on your hands, neck, face, chest etc. When I see people like this, I wonder who will actually hire them for a job. If you are going to get a tattoo, it should be in a more obscure place. This is much more important for women, as their clothing tends to reveal more skin. Tattoos of this nature make you look as if you just completed 5-10 in the state pen. Though she has a rather innocent face... those tats against that washed out complexion says she'll cut a bitch.
An ongoing trend that never seems to fade away are tattoos of names. I think this is absolutely GHETTOOOO... I don't care whose name it is, I just don't like it. For those of you who choose too plaster a name on your body, please have the god given COMMON CENSE :o) not to place the name of your mate anywhere on your body. Tattoos are permanent but relationships aren't. Be smart! Furthermore, why would you want to brand yourself as the property of someone else? Just because you place it in a more intimate area, doesn't make it acceptable. Think about the next guy or gal who'll have to stare at it... in between the sheets.
