I like the side bar that you added and the coordination with colors, it ties the blog in together. I like how you are incorporating things from your everyday life because, that is new media. That is why we have these blogs. Your love for fashion is a part of you, just as your religion is. And I actually think that this blog is more important to you than others that are just doing it, "for the class."Damaris Cluffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581172459139970928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19049927570025936.post-81613804730934164392012-04-22T21:05:22.950-07:002012-04-22T21:05:22.950-07:00Obviously you've chosen to treat this blog muc...Obviously you've chosen to treat this blog much differently than the rest of the class. I think there are a lot of conflicting things on your blog that serve to sort of void your arguments. I think mixing posts about your recent breakup, jesus, and the importance of fashion just serves to make fashion as important to me as your breakup. I think this should've been an argument for "Why Fashion?" is important, not just a collection of cheery thoughts about fashion. I think statements like, "So the next time you slide open a drawer or push open a closet door to choose what to wear in the morning, know that your decision could change the world." are a bit childish and unconvincing. Your argument on the historical importance of the topic was good. I think developing more points on a similar note to that would serve your argument well.evanjedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222827058866881317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19049927570025936.post-10967300256195555242012-04-22T20:13:23.116-07:002012-04-22T20:13:23.116-07:00It's nice to see you've improved greatly o...It's nice to see you've improved greatly on this post from the draft I had read earlier. I'm also happy you removed the colorblind part, since we do see colors! Now for some general critique on your blog. I love that you have a logo you made, and I love the word "Meandering"! The background and the text have nice context, but the navigation links at the bottom are difficult to see. It's also hard to see your hyperlinks, I almost didn't see them. I suggest underlining them or making them a more discernible color like blue or red. Also, I think it's pretty cool that you have actually got in to blogging on your own! - Mike JonesQuixotic Smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12316668283776337099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19049927570025936.post-58527594333635448712012-04-22T19:05:59.413-07:002012-04-22T19:05:59.413-07:00It is crazy how people view and treat you differen...It is crazy how people view and treat you differently according to what you do or don't wear. I have two wardrobes: my lazy painter/aquarist wardrobe, and my designer wardrobe. I have been snubbed for wearing sweats and a t-shirt in the wrong place, and asked on a date by someone hiding in the bushes, watching people walk by, wearing a green silk shirt, skinny jeans, and Aldo boots among other things.

Fashion does have a heavy social aspect that plays in our lives of how other individuals interact with you. You're clothes you wear whether you want to them to or not help construct your persona. A man is dirty rags with be treated differently than a man in a black suit. So, may be more information on the social side of fashion, and its importance to have an acceptable self image.Kyle Odlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031055832589046371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19049927570025936.post-40657786289886944012012-04-22T13:52:46.827-07:002012-04-22T13:52:46.827-07:00Love the design of this blog.

Anyhow, I think Natalie's point about expanding on the historical context of clothes is a good one. And if it were me, I might even touch on how clothes are symbols of more than just status but one's actual caste in society. <br /><br />Overall, though, your enthusiasm for, and familiarity with the topic have me sold.Brett Childresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683168187135077188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19049927570025936.post-49843461030415871832012-04-21T23:26:08.284-07:002012-04-21T23:26:08.284-07:00I was totally going to quote that in one of my art...I was totally going to quote that in one of my articles Izzy, but it was too long and I wouldn't have known what to cut out because the whole monologue is just so great!
