really trendy

Kardashians and Jenners: The Trendy Bunch?

it is little wonder that trends come and go. like heidi klum puts it in project runway, 'one day you're in and the next day, you're out!' reality television series have a unique way of creating trends; at times, these trends are deliberate and others, accidental. for this post, let's examine some of the trends that caught on.

1) she bangs

now who can forget the person who start it all? william hung, a contestant on american idol, found fame not as a top singer but as a personality that audiences came to adore. if you forgot who he is, here's a clip to jolt your memory.

anyway, after the 'william hung' craze, the entire trend of 'personalities' surfaced in talent competitions. people started to realise that talent was not as valuable as a unique selling point.

the question was, what was the unique selling point that the masses was craving for? (i hope it's not a pair of yellow trunks or a hoarse-y rendition of 'don't cha') this remains a question that i probably have no answers to.

2) the white tee

Adam Levine

i don't know if this can be touted as a trend but it seems like judges (simon cowell and adam levine in particular) made it part of their regular get-up. well the white tee is nothing new to The Online Edition, considering that i have already featured it here. it is interesting to note that, when it comes to clothes, there will always be classic pieces that never go out of style.

3) prints

this is one scary trend that i wish never made it to the screens but it did. i enjoy prints but to see it splashed everywhere is too much of a safari for me. prints should always be in moderation or a fashion afterthought and i blame the following reality stars for making it seem that too much prints is acceptable.

anyway, the trends that made it here are plonked here because the posts for the rest of the week don't have much room for them. my advice for you: do visit The Online Edition regularly over the week and we shall discuss in further detail the fashions of reality television.

fash'on... BAM!
