September 2010 Archives

This weeks Media Lab Assignment touched upon an issue about hard news always being negative. Think about it . . Whenever you turn on the TV, and change the channel to a news station, what do you always here? Most likely a devastation of some sort in the world today. Whether it is war, or a shooting in a nearby neighborhood, there will always be something negative in the news today. 

In the latest reading assignment for Media Lab, the text talked about how many people are unexpectedly thrown into the media. It could be a breaking story in the news about some horrific event happening in the world today. An individual who may be apart of this event immediately is thrown into a world where now their lives are no longer private. Every time they step outside of their house, they're immediately surrounded by reporters and paparazzi. They have no idea what to do, and they begin to panic. They don't know what to say, and then they accidentally say something they shouldn't have. Soon it is then on the cover of almost every magazine out. 

Coming into Seton Hill University, I would have never expected to take a class called "Writing for the Internet." I really didn't know what to expect with this class. After a couple of classes went by, I began to fall in love with it. Apart of the curriculum, we had to create a blog and a Twitter account. I already had a Tumblr, as well as Twitter, so I knew what to expect. I never been in a class where I truly enjoy it. However, I'm pretty sure as the year goes by I will more in love with this class. Being able to do things that I enjoy is just like the icing on top of the cake :)

Okay, if your totally into fashion, you might wanna check out this amazing blog called Karla's Closet. She is probably one of the best fashion bloggers out here today! She updates her blog almost everyday with new fashion trends, and pictures taken of her latest styles and trends. I fell in love with her the minute I visited her blog. Her pictures are amazing, and truly inspirational. I constantly pick up fashion tips from her many photos. As an inspiring fashion journalist, I hope to one day create a blog as big as hers!

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards premiered Sunday, September 12. This special event gives celebs the chance to show off their unique fashion styles. Among the many celebs, Lady Gaga stood out the most with her many outfits throughout the night. Her first outfit consisted of a long dress made by Alexander McQueen, designed with famous paintings on it. She topped it off with feathers on her head, which in some way resembled a peacock lol. She also turned heads with her sky-high armadillo heels she wore. I jus wonder how the heck she was able to walk in them!? Lady Gaga always knows how to push the limits, and express her personality through her style choses.

This fall season is quickly creeping up upon us, and sooner or later our warm and comfy cardigans will be making their way out of our closets and onto our bodies. Many designers have spent months coming up with new designs for this 2010 fall season. While looking on Teen Vogue.com, the photos from the Marc by Marc Jacobs fashion show stood out the most to me, more than any other designer listed. I would say that Marc Jacobs is one of the many fashion designers who inspire me. However, this collection really caught my eye. Jacobs uses a lot of bold patterns and stripes in this collection. There are huge oversized sweatshirts paired with colorful stripped leggings. He incorporates funky dresses, jumpers, and jackets paired with cute shorts.
