All look the same and they kinda only accept girls who dress like this kiki girl ''thing''.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I notice this just happening all over the place. The last person I expected was a friend, who is 20. So I was like

I lol'd so hard at that all the time.

It looks so horrible. I can't believe that girls will do that to themselves.

Just call yourself a style icon, give some hairstyling tips to your friend and move on.

lol

People try on looks until they find something that they're comfortable in. Now the skinny thing is concerning because that's just dangerous - but if it's all about the hair and clothes, most of them will turn out just fine, and will spend a lot of time hiding the pictures of them from their children so that they can't be used as bribery when the children want to do something stupid with their hair... Yeah. I have a 14 year old. And it's aaaaaaall coming back to haunt me now. I'm sorry Mom!

Please tell me that you did the colored acid washed jeans and the jelly shoes!! that way, I won't feel like such a dork all by myself!!

Peach jeans with an 6" zip.

Of course

Oh those jelly shoes that were hot and sweaty and left blisters. I had safety pins in my ears. I had safety pins pegging my jeans. I had hair that was shaved on one side of my head and a bob on the other. Friends put pictures on Facebook the other day and I was wearing something I'd forgotten I owned. Remember when the whole Japanese fashion thing happened. Kenzo I think? And everything was industrial and grey...

Oh and let's not forget jeans with zippers on the ankles, or parachute pants or those jeans with the zippers on the sides with the coloured fabric behind them. Or geez way early 80s - knickers...

Don't forget all the rocks that would end up in your jellies! I had the same haircut as you...dyed black. I actually kind of looked like Daria's friend with the nose ring...complete with the angst-ridden jaded sneer.

 

[flowerhead]

Looking 'alternative' for the purpose of fashion is a bizarre oxymoron!

I had never heard of her before reading this thread, but when I saw the picture at the start, I assumed she was at least mid-20s. Oh well!

I didn't do much colour wise to my hair - it's very red as it is. I did however use Flirt temporary colours - anyone remember those?!

Haha, a little off topic but this reminds me of something my dad said to me the other day. I have a lot of ear piercings, a nose piercing, and a belly button piercing. All pretty standard stuff. I'm in that weird middle ground of being more peirced than most people but nowhere near hardcore. Anyway, my dad seems to think I'll "grow out of" my nose ring or that I got it for attention. I've never looked at it that way. I just like my piercings and my jewelry. I think they are pretty. It's frustrating in a lot of ways to have an in-between style. I like preppy clothes and a lot of American-Eagle casualwear but I also like piercings and bold make-up and rock-n-roll hair. So I wind up looking like a wannabe to both crowds. Anyway, it annoys me that style = attitude for a lot of people. I'm not trying to make an attitude statement. It's purely aesthetic.

I personally think if you copy everything from one style, you look like you're trying too hard to be that style.

Hmm. Reading back over the original post, it almost sounds like you're put out because she's doing 'your' style.


I think Lara has summed this up very well. When I read it, it did sound a bit like sour grapes because she has adopted a similar style to you. Well, there is a saying that “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” She was so happy to see you as well, you should be happy for her because she probably always looked up to you and admired your style when you said she dressed “preppy.”

Wow... This was over 2 years ago.

 

[MaskedBeauty]

WOWWWWWWW. WTF is with that chicks hair!???? I think i'd laugh my ass off if I ever saw anyone with hair like that. We have scene kids where I live of course (Its Cali), but I've never seen an extreme scene kid like that chick with her hair that big.

 

[gooblyglob]

Kiki Kannibal... well don't I feel ancient!

You know you're getting old(er) when you and your friends drink more water than beer at metal gigs and leave goth clubs go home to sleep. LOL. well... maybe that's just me... haha...

never bothered me how people dress... I find some amusing that's all.

^But I always wonder how! I've cruised through old threads before, but I always know that they haven't been posted in in a long time.
