Thanks To Microsoft We Have Gamer Nail Polish

by

Yes, this is a thing.

Xbox and the world’s leading nail polish brand OPI, are teaming up to launch a new gaming-inspired palette for Spring 2022, inviting everyone to play and express their creativity through nail art.

They have quite a selection of colours, with 99% of the names that could only be pulled from a wormhole of cringe, like “You had me at Halo” or “Can’t CTRL Me!”.  Another one in the collection is “Heart and Con-soul”… which should really be Red Ring of Death. If they had Blue Screen Of Death I’d buy that shit right the fuck up. I’d also be pretty chill with Clippy decals. I actually like the idea! But they could of at least hired me to name their products. :v

To wear or not to wear?

I do find it funny that taking this to a prom is bad, but cosplaying in this stuff is totally ok. As someone who collects a bunch of things relating to the orient and enjoys wearing other worldly clothes I took an interest in this article about this girls prom dress.

Like many other teenagers preparing for prom, Utah senior Keziah Daum wanted to find a dress that would stand out, “something that would be more unique and bold and had some sort of meaning to it,” she said in an interview with The Washington Post.

I always find it rather amusing how people can get bent out of shape over articles of clothing. I collect Kimonos (and even bought one recently), Cheongsam’s, Hanfu’s, etc. To me if you’re not supposed to wear a particular garment due to your heritage then why are these items being sold worldwide? You never really hear about people complaining about the origins of the T Shirt, and how people around the world wear them. They originally started as undergarments and eventually evolved to a point of everyday wear. We should learn and embrace other cultures and what they bring us… like good food. 😛

You can rent clothes to look fabulous…

Would I rent designer clothing for $139 a month? How about a big fuck no?

Would you treat your wardrobe like a Netflix DVD subscription? Rent the Runway, a company known for renting out special-occasion dresses and ugly holiday sweaters, has been testing a service that they call Unlimited for a few years now, finally letting it out of beta. The idea? You rent three pieces of designer clothing at a time, receiving the next one in your queue when you send one back to be dry cleaned, or just because you’re tired of it.

The service is targeted to women who like high-end clothing, dislike cleaning out their closets, and who want to have a theoretically unlimited wardrobe. It also helps if you’re willing to spend $1,668 per year on clothes that you won’t necessarily get to keep.

You don’t need designer clothing to be fabulous. Hell, I’ve seen some… interesting people try to wear designer clothing and at the end of the day they were just fancy looking douchebags.
