This week I decided that I would do another video - Ke$ha's Take it off. However, I wanted to do something different. I want to hear what you guys think about the video. I don't want to begin bashing it because even though I love this song, the video is just ridiculous. Watch and see. Post your comments and let's discuss it. Come guys, you can do it.
In today's world, looking your finest has ironically become looking your worst. That is to say, stars nowadays are competing to make the biggest statement - a mark on the world. All in all, everyone wants to be DIFFERENT. Well when we're all chasing differentness, who's really different?

Reality or Fiction
This week I wanted to focus on one of my favorite characters in Harry Potter: Bellatrix Lestrange. But in real life, her name is Helena Bonham Carter. Helena is known, not only for her acting ability, but also for her ridiculous clothing choice. Usually when she is attending a major paparazzi-event, she always wears something extra absurd, something for everyone to talk about. I'm not sure if she is trying to make a statement, but she surely is saying something.
Traditionally, when someone attends the Golden Globes, they dress to impress, but Helena dresses to be seen. She wears the most absurd things so people will always remember what she had on. Trust me, they do! I remember watching the Golden Globes thinking she is actually insane for wearing such a hideous outfit. Look at the picture above, the colorful dress with the dark shades and the mix shoes is just too much. She stands out like a needle in a haystack. It is just unbearable to see someone with such passionate and emotion look so ridiculous.

When will the madness stop?
Man, oh man! The craziness and absurdity have started to spread to the younger generation. When will this maddness stop? Where shall I begin? Maybe in the outfits? Or the hair? Or we can began with the mayhem in Willow Smith's video "Whip my hair."
Willow Smith has made a name for herself, using the connection that she gained from being a 'Smith.' She has come a long way from being just a precious little girl to fully developed CHILD. When she joined the music industry, she had a simple, yet casual dressing style. However, in the past year, her dressing style has skyrocketed to absolutely bizarre. She started to wear clothing, not just for the simplicity of looking good, but to make a statement. Well, she's making a statement, just one that she would not be pleased with- "Where the hell is my sanity?"
As portrayed in this frame from her music video, you can see that she is trying her hardest. But, come on...who in their right mindset would ever wear a yellow top with zebra-printed pink pants and pink fuzzy poof hair?
I understand the need to stand out when it comes to being a celebrity, but I do not think you have to dress ridiculously to be known. All you have to do is look your best; something Willow failed to do.
