TV Show Review: What Not to Wear

Honestly, I do not see TV shows often at home because I just have a standard cable TV in my apartment without many choices, and also I sometimes feel so tired of listening to English. I got to pay more attention on those TV shows because of being an international student; English is not my first language.

However, there is one show called “what not wear” I really like because from a fashion angle I think that they are very practical and informative to change your attitude of a personal style. They teach you how to get away the stuff that does not fit well on you, and tell you how to pick the right thing to make you look better and beautiful. Their goal is no matter your shape, your size, or whatever physical liabilities or hang-ups you have, you can be beautiful.

For me, I can learn and get inforamtion from what they say and teach the person who need some changes. From their point of views, I understand that not each person can follow the fashion trend at the time but they can own and show off their personal taste and style.

Music Video Review: Jolin Tsai

Butterfly

Jolin Tsai is a Golden Melody Award winning Taiwanese Mandopop singer. To date, Tsai is one of the most successful and popular singers in the Mandarin music market. Jolin’s new Mandarin album, Flower Butterfly (花蝴蝶), was released on March 27. Early images that were released indicated that the album’s image would be based on the concept of a “colorful butterfly”, namely it being colorful and able to fly freely without worries. It is of her view that the songs in the album seek to encourage her fans to follow their dreams and not allow anything to hold them back from succeeding, thus the meaning of “flying high, flying freely” just like a butterfly.

With a fashion angle, I think her style and outfit in this video is intense and dramatic. It really matches with the concept of a colorful butterfly. A corset and ballet dress makes a dream of feminity. The two tone of stocking reminded me about the chanel collection from last year. Is she a copy cat? Or I say that it is just a guideline from the fashion.
