A popular staple of subculture fashion, the corset is used nowadays as an outergarment more often than an undergarment. Not only is it beautiful in of itself, it also gives the wearer a seemingly flawless hour-glass figure. It is a mandatory item in the wardrobe of fetish models, burlesque performers, drag queens, dommes, and goths.
Like anything else, there are right ways and appalling wrong ways to wear one.
In order to preserve the majesty of the corset, one should make note of the following flattering and unflattering ways it can be worn.
No thank you.
If one’s abdomen bulge is significant enough to render the corset a non-hourglass shape, don’t force yourself into one.
Side note: men in corsets is a grey area, and must be determined on a case-to-case basis.
Yes please!
Oh Dita - few will do the corset the justice that you do. A beautiful and skilled burlesque performer has a full set of rights over the corset.
No thank you.
Trashy goths. NO. FAIL. Hot Topic, please stop this travesty.
Yes please!
Brechtian punk cabaret. amanda palmer can wear whatever the fuck she wants, and her frequent choice of shabby-chic corsets and peasant skirts are righteous.
No thank you.
Period costumes - particularly at Renaissance faires
Yes please!
Bombshell fetish models. Or for that matter, anyone of the same caliber of hotness. These clothes were designed for people like you - wear them!
In no particular order:
*People that pretend to be happy when they’re not.
*People that talk about leaving NYC 5678 times a day because they have to struggle for the FIRST time in their lives. That kind of talk is for quitters. And yes, you DON’T deserve to live here.
* Bands whose add comment reads “Hey, I think you might like our band, listen to our music and tell us what you think…” Let’s get something straight here, bands add me not the other way around, usually via one of those friends request adder spammer thingys. Chances are, I do not spend my days checking out every band that adds me.
* Anyone who thinks Ketamine is cool. Repeat after me: it’s a horse tranquilizer. Note the key word there being HORSE.
*MTV’s Cribs and its overriding sense of decorative taste. I don’t think I have ever seen a nice house on it. If in some crazy twist of fate I suddenly had millions of dollars to spend on a house, I wouldn’t use it to buy glass coffee tables with tacky eagles underneath them or anything else that looks like it was bought from one of those home decor places in Hollyweird with the plastic faux gold-rimmed wardrobes. Oh, and I don’t care how many shoes/sneakers/bentleys/small third world slaves you own either. It’s NOT cool. I hate Cribs and MTV for that matter. It used to be cool only in the 90’s. Oh the 90’s <3! But that’s another story.
* Taxi drivers who don’t know where they are going.
* Girls who list ‘Dirty Dancing’ as their favorite movie. A conversational killer that almost guarantees you have had a personality bypass. There are more movies in the world than ones with Patrick Swayze in them, in case you hadn’t noticed.
* Really tall people at the movies or gigs. They should have their own area at the back.
* Pete Doherty’s teeth. Surely a toothbrush is cheaper than crack? (Yet, I love his music)
* Party promoters that fill my facebook inbox just to promote a party that I will never attend mainly because I avoid the risk of being around girls who have been exposed to massive amounts of radioactive sun-bed tans and day-glo hair tackiness.
Anyway, that’s it for now! I am going to a house party, Brooklyn style tonight. Do y’all remember house parties? Sometimes going to a simple house party can be refreshing in NYC. I think they should make a big comeback even though they’re common as muck and I am not only talkin’ about rooftop parties, but just a good ol’ school house party. Hope y’all have a nice weekend.

Am i dreaming Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Ramona V. Flowers in Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World ? Thank you Edgar Wright ! Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the coolest genre girl of 2010. This hair color switching temptress nails the roll of a affected scenester with more baggage than a (fill in the blank). She is everything we desire in unattainable ice princess cute, desirable, and a guaranteed heartbreaker.
She always ends up in these massive films like Live Free or Die Hard or Death Proof, horror like Final Destination or the upcoming The Thing or even kids’ superhero movies like Sky High. Wether filling out a cheerleader out fit or destroying the egos of indie rock musicians i continue to be mesmerized by this indie goddess.
