How to Dress Urban-Hip in Nashvegas

The current style for young hipsters in Nashvegas is quite eclectic. That trend is useful, because it makes dressing for a party or concert quite easy. Here are a few tips for ways you can join the ranks of the super-cool, or at least dress like them:

(Disclaimer: I do not claim to be among the ranks of the super-cool. Simply an observer, duckies.)

To select your uber-cool wardrobe, pick one item from three or four of these categories.

1. Something from a thrift store
2. Something from a vintage store
3. An accessory made by you or a friend
4. An item from another country
5. A piece of designer clothing (only if you got it on clearance or if someone gave it to you -- paying full price for designer is NOT Urban-Hip).
6. Something that looks like it is from the '80s.
7. Something that looks like it is from the '50s.
8. Something crocheted or knitted.
9. An item from Target.
10. An item from Hillsboro Village.
11. A concert t-shirt from at least 10 years ago. T-shirt must include a band that still garners respect in the music world -- U2 is appropriate, Chicago is not.
12. Something black.

Try on items, making sure you have all the basics covered (pants, underwear, etc.). Check your color scheme to make sure you don't clash or match. Clashing and matching are equally uncool.

Ta-Da! You are ready for a hip night on the down.

But you know what? You wanna know the secret to being ultra hip and cool? Wear something from StarCat Designs. Oh, yeah. You know you need an East Nashvegas, Baby shirt.

Art Show in East Nashville!

Come see my designs in East Nashville this Sunday, November 12!

A bunch of us crafty types will be having an arts and crafts fair of sorts this Sunday outside the Radio Cafe (weather permitting). The show is scheduled to run from 9 to 5, but I don't know if I will actually be there until 5, so come early.

This is a great chance to see some of my new product designs, which I am really excited about.

Mark Cuban and Jordin Tootoo

So, I'm looking at ways to increase visitor traffic to my blog. Not for any particular reason, other than perhaps an ego boost.

My hubby has seen a lot of traffic on his blog when he posts about certain topics, namely, Mark Cuban and Jordin Tootoo. I think that sounds like a good idea, so I'll give it a try, to see if it attracts any new visitors. Ready?

MARK CUBAN!!!!!!!!

JORDIN TOOTOO!!!!!!!!

And, just for good measure, IMOGEN HEAP!!!!!!!

Okay, silliness aside, I actually have reasons to post about all three of those people.

Jordin Tootoo
I got to see Tootoo tonight at Darcy Hordichuk's radio show (FYI, for the uninitiated -- Tootoo and Hordichuk are Nashville Predators players). That was a lot of fun, but the place (Blackstone Brewery) was so loud that I couldn't really hear much. Go Preds! Smash the Red Wings on Friday!

Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban, long a thorn in the side of NBA Commissioner David Stern, has finally seen the light and become a "David Stern disciple." You can read about Cuban's amazing transformation here.

Imogen Heap
I am going to an Imogen Heap concert in 12 days! Whee! I'm trying to decide if I want to give her one of my t-shirts. That might be a nice way to say thank you to her for her music (and to promote my designs!), but it might come across as really weird. If I give her a shirt, I might give her my "duckie" shirt . . .
