Refresh. Reformat. Reconfigure.
How will this blog continue to compete in the global Web 2.0 world? Seriously. It’s old school, lame, uncool, unhip and all that. While social networking sins have sucked us up in the vortex of voyeuristic behavior (including my recent addiction to Face(shit)book and my yearning to tap into Second Life), I believe those editorial Sirs at the Economist have accurately predicted that Facebook, MySpace, and all the other existing social networking tools are exactly what CompuServe, Prodigy and AOL were a decade ago. Will the fad last? I foresee it will, but in a dynamically morphed form that continues to grow in this socially crazy networking globe.
Speaking of fads, here are Andre’s top trends of the moment:
1) Fashion inspired by Japanese school girls, Corps de ballet troupes, Asian horror flicks, and Jean Birkin’s daughter.
2) Calvin Klein’s Parma shoe (everyone knows this. Good luck finding a pair)
3) Christian Louboutin’s excruciatingly difficult to get on 6-inch heel thigh-high boots (at $1,790 should they be that difficult???)
4) Spidey stockings
5) Silk shantung sheath dresses
6) Anything inspired by Isabel and Ruben Toledo (retrospective coming to FIT in 2009)
7) 1960s Pucci blue plastic hoop earrings
8) Reading a book – in paper
9) French manicures (these wretched things are back again????)
10) Discontinued perfumes from France

Yeah... I've seen the ballet look and the Japanese schoolgirl look all over... it doesn't make it right. Only dancers should dress like dancers... same with schoolgirls. On the other mommies at preschool? Not a good look.

If you posted a pic of yourself dressed up in a collage of all these trends, I bet that would start to put your blog back in the running. Or add some flash animation. Or add more layers of interaction between your readers. Or add more interaction that doesn't require thinking or typing.

My only input on these trends is that any boots that cost almost $2K should attatch themselves to your body on command. -N
