Natalie Portman in Marie Claire

This is an amazing photo shoot! Natalie Portman has always been one of my favorite actresses, if not my favorite. Who else will be seeing “Brothers.” I will. Immediately. After I’m out of school!

Twirl / Run

When a girl finds herself twirling her hair, she may be doing this out of anxiety, tension, or nervousness according to photographer Jeff Powerhouse. Powerhouse has been photographing women for seven years capturing them on the streets as they twirl a strand of hair. He has compiled this collection into his new book Twirl / Run. The book also features people running. It has nothing to do with twirling.

MTV meet your doom.

Is this a joke? This isn’t funny. This doesn’t make me interested in the show at all. In fact I feel like I’m watching that guy in the “My New Haircut video” times 5!

And the guy in that video was an actor.

MTV,

I sincerely urge you to bring back Rich Girls WITH Ally Hilfiger, then maybe we can be on good terms again.

How Does One Become A Hipster?

You might find yourself asking that question quite often if you attend Seattle University or live in Seattle. In no way is it a bad thing at all to even be called a hipster or to be associated with “hipsters.” The idea of it is something that interests me only because I find that the group has evolved so much over the years. Seriously the hipsters today look a lot different than the hipsters in say… 2004.

My brother often likes to make the joke that I am a hipster myself. Agree to disagree, I have no idea if I would put myself in that category. He sent me this link today from Paste Magazine with the article “Evolution of the Hipster 2000-2009.”

Enjoy the lulz!

Sidecar Action

The other day after leaving class, my dear friend Travis was telling me how he wanted to purchase a motorcycle. I told him that if he bought a motorcycle that he would have to purchase one with a sidecar so I would be right there next to him!

Today, I found the solution to our problem:

ULTIMATE WIN WIN.

Capitol Hill Gets A New Logo

Bellevue ad firm, Kite, has created Capitol Hill’s new logo for the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce.

The brand strategy and visual design convey key themes that came up in the research and are part of the overall brand including: inclusivity, energy, diversity and dynamism. The idea behind the design is to visually represent the spirit of the socially inclusive and multi-faceted community by creating a solid background with the name “Capitol Hill” repeated many times.

The Stranger decided to poll their readers:

Does this new logo make you feel

  • Included
  • Energetic
  • Diverse
  • Dynamic
  • Other

I’m going to have to go with the “other” option. My feelings towards this logo have absolutely nothing to do with their intended goal. I have a question. Why do the green letters spelling “Capitol Hill” in the background look so sloppy? This looks like something someone designed in wannabe old skool Kid-Pix. And why is Capitol Hill so green? The neighborhood  is covered in rainbows!

Try again?

So lately I’m not Dreaming

It started Monday morning when I woke up and wondered about how I met certain friends. The thought puzzled me all day. It’s not a big deal… you meet people everyday… and I’m sure by my senior year here I’ll have met a large portion of my class. But I’m not talking about just the friends here that I’ve met and go to school with though those are fresh in my mind. I came to a conclusion. There is a large difference between some of the relationships like when I have met these people on my own compared to when I am just merely introduced by someone else.

These stick out in my head. They have a story to tell. These stories mean so much to me. They tell me a lot about the relationship I’ve built up, where they are today, and a lot about myself.

As I continue to grow up, I notice that I am beginning to be less afraid of people. One of my goals on 43 Things is that one day I will feel comfortable enough to strike up a conversation with anyone. It wouldn’t matter who it was, where I was, I would just do it. And I think I would be really proud of myself if I could achieve this.
