Tyler, The Creator and Fashion— A Good Mix

Tyler, The Creator has been slammed often times for being sexist, hateful towards the LGBTQ+ community and towards religion, having no class and trying too hard in his genre. While in his first couple of albums, anyone might think that because of the amount of times he uses the word "f*ggot" in his songs, and he uses an upside-down cross as part of his image, and he talks about doing very graphic, illegal things to women, Tyler has certainly evolved from that "phase" of his music career, and maybe even music in general, to clothing.

Tyler, since 2013, has come out with two new albums, "Wolf" (2013) and "Cherry Bomb" (2015), but since 2015, has focused on his clothing brand. He has expanded his clothing company that he started in 2011, Golf Wang, and changed the name to Golf. Thousands of people who don't even listen to his music purchase his clothing. He's had pop-up stores all over the world, and has stores such as Zumiez and Vans selling his merchandise.

Then, on May 13th, Tyler, the Creator tweets this:

No one really expected it, even though everyone who's worn his brand wanted something like this to happen.

Building up excitement for the show, he tweeted things like:

On June 11, it finally took place. Hundreds of fans and famous guests were there, including Kanye West and Kendall Jenner.

He even has a recording of the show which you can watch:


In his fashion show, Tyler has a big introduction in which he shows a scene of him waking up, doing his morning routine, and so on and so forth, while he shows off his brand's new furniture and clothes. Then the models come out, donning his signature patterns and designs that are easily recognizable to his fans and regular Golf customers. After that, he has another humorous skit, bringing in characters that look reminiscent to people he's acted as in his show "Loiter Squad." Finally, he comes out again, shirtless, and talks about his success, excitement for his new brand, Golf le Fleur, and gives away free Golf le Fleur shoes to every fan in the audience. They will get these later in the year, when the brand and clothing are released to the general public.

Tyler has undoubtedly gone through an evolution artistically— through this fashion show, it is clear to see how comfortable he is with showing the products of his creativity. Everyone can learn a thing or two from Tyler about pursuing your dream and making it a reality.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
