You talking to ME?!?! You talking to me!?!?! or, Speaking Fashionese

Bonjour Mon Cheries,

Ok, first of all, let me explain the inspiration for this post.
 I got a short message from an, er, for lack of a better word, "blog cruiser" all of us in the blogging industry know them. People who go from blog to blog, just to complain. This person felt the need to tell me that 1st, I make up words, (NO,really??)  and 2nd, I shouldn't be doing that. I should just use proper English, or not blog. This got me thinking. Fashion has it's own language. Very few people are fluent. Almost EVERYONE knows the TWO basics. In. and Out. But lets go a little further. I am going to, hmm, whats the word....Dictionarize (there I go making words up again) the language of Fashion. Leggo!! :P (my word of the week)

The Language: Fashionese
Mainly Spoken in: Fashionable places such as New York, Paris, Milan


Words That You Want People To Say About You, Your Blog, or Your Clothes:

IN

Beyond

Tres Chic

Edgy

Now

Fresh

Haute

Fab

I'm Loving _________

It Just Screams _________ (this one can go either way)

If you're talking to ME:

Fabitty-fab- FABULOUS!!

Ehmahgawd (another one that can go either way)

Ah-mahzing

Lahve

Words You DON'T want to hear:

OUT

Done

OVER

Late

Boring

Reminds Me of Last Season

Anti (as in, this is sooooo ANTI fashion)

If you're talking to Me:

*Me Yawning*

Eh.Mah. Gawd

Ew

Who designed/wrote/ ENCOURAGED this? (outraged tone)

Words you DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES say or use in the presence of IFP (Important Fashion People/Person)

Fierce

Cute

Flirty

Mod

Trendy

Uber-anything

Frockstar (I'm betting Charlie Sheen came up with this one when he wanted to be a designer)

Style Iconic

Obviously, I can't contain all of our confusing words, praises, slams, and sentences in one blog post. Fashionese varies from one person to the next. Its part of the fashion blogger/designer/person stereotype, just one of the parts we actually like. Hope helps, incase you ever, you know, run into Anna Wintour in Fresh Choice. Instead of screaming "EHMAHGAWD ITS ANNA WINTOUR!!" Like some people, (not that I know anything about that *cough*) you can talk to her in Fashionese, while faking a British accent. Print it out and stick it in your pocket in case you ever run into a IFP. Or, you could just look on the tab-thingymabobber at the top of my blog :) Saves trees and all that.


Until Whenever,
Justina
