current cool fashion:

Everything is cool?

     To make something clear, all fashion is cool! Today we live in a world where people are severely judged in fashion, which in my opinion is the least fashionable thing you can do. 
     Personally, I think some people forget that personality is the true outfit you wear, if you act like a fool, then even if you're wearing the coolest clothes, you will still look the worst.
     But here are some cool fashions that are coming back:
  • McBling
  • Y2K
  • Indie Sleeze
  • Avril lavigne
  • SATC style
  • streetwear
  • downtown
  • 2000's
  • baggy
  • Adam Sandler?

Madonna- enough said

Cause we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl” — from “Material Girl    


    Madonna. 
Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight—  
She can only be encapsulated by her own words: a true STAR. Her music has reshaped the cultural landscape. You might despise her, or you might adore her, but one thing’s for sure—you know her, or you will soon, because in this article, we’re diving into the world of the reigning queen herself.

    Madonna is often seen as a controversial figure, which is why I said, “You might hate her.” However, she has also transformed pop culture in ways that are truly unparalleled. The art she has contributed to the world has reached an extraordinary level that is unlikely to be matched.As a statement from Caryn Ganz states, beautifully may i add, “Madonna made real cultural change, and caused a few cultural crises, over and over again. For all the criticism she’s weathered during four decades in the spotlight, she deserves a celebration." She forever caused a needed disrupt to the world, and to this day she still changes the world with her music helping young women find a voice, and teaching them how to grow. She challenged the lines of music and art, but also caused those lines to be gone, igniting a light in the world of music, and creativity. 

    Speaking of breaking the lines, she changed how a pop star was supposed to be, and showed art what it can be. She showed representation of how art can be in everything, in movement, fashion, and presentation. And when it comes to the presentation, Madonna definitely caused some outrage, but when she did, you would remember. For example her legendary performance at the VMA’s. The Rolling Stones compares,  “Madonna's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in September of 1984 to iconic music moments like Elvis Presley causing jaws to drop in living rooms across America with his “pelvic thrusts” on The Milton Berle Show in 1956, and the Beatles’ few minutes on The Ed Sullivan Show in February of 1964, which created the template for the ensuing 20 years of pop-rock music. “ 

When she performed, “like a virgin-” it was still unreleased, and when she did release on november 12th, 1984. It was incredibly controversial, as it was on stage at the VMA’s. The reason this was such a big deal is because when she performed this, she wore a wedding dress which she rolled up, to expose her undergarments, and her underwear. Not only did she do that, she was also crawling on the floor in a certain manner, which sparked public outrage because she was wearing white, which represents purity- and the song went against christian ideals and tradition.

    Yes, Madonna has definitely went against tradition and challenged boundaries, but she also forever caused change that benefited the musical world and allowed freedom. You can say you hate Madonna, but you can’t deny that her music has meaning, and though she's controversial, she caused necessary change and allowed people to think their own thoughts about sexuality, religion, and influenced change.
    And you can lie, that she's beautiful in music, and physically.

That's Madonna- a star.

        And as the  great Madonna once said, “I'll never be an angel, I’ll never be a saint, it’s true I’m too busy surviving” — from “Survival”
