Website/Blog of the day

Yo Yo Yo… here is a new game we are going to play here at FashionOutcast. (Hopefully) everyday I will try to post a really cool website and/or blog that I want people to check out. Just some fun for the whole fam.

Okay… today’s Blog is a random one I found clicking the handy “Next Blog” button… which will probably be how I will find most of these. It is called Someone’s In the Kitchen and it is basically a recipe book gone high tech. It is filled with cool recipes to try from a lady named Amanda in Canada. I am a big cooking advocate, basically since the takeover of American TV to the food network so I think I might try a few of her cookie recipes for the holidays. Also if you aren’t a typical cooker I suggest you start. Cooking is a major stress reliever and just plain old fun! I love getting together with friends and family and just baking or cooking. It will also reduce the cash problems created by constant takeout! I am not saying you have to take one of these recipes but you can always go to the generic Recipes.com or watch the Food Network (30 min Meals with Rachel Ray, as cliché as it is, is my fav). I also applaud Amanda for the idea of going digital with her recipe book. It is a pretty smart one that I just might consider :)

This website is her basically for laughs. It is called Overheard in New York and is basically a place where New Yorkers post random tidbits of weird conversations they have over heard around the city. It was one of Time Magazines coolest sites in 2005 and I can see why. Here is an example of what’s on the site

Hipster chick: I'd like to get my eyebrows done.
Korean woman: You have boyfriend?
Hipster chick: Uh... no.
Woman: No wonder. You have hairy upper lip.
Hipster chick: Okay...
Woman: No worry -- we clean up -- you have many boyfriend.

Priceless right!!?? That’s why I love New York… you get to year crazy stuff everyday

*** FYI If anyone wants to share a blog or a website I would love to check it put and mention it!! Comment or email me

+ 44

When I first heard +44 I was rocking out in my car to FNX, my fav radio station. It was their single When Your Heart Stops Beating and I have to admit I didn’t know. This new band actually includes Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker from Blink 182. It seems that the whole band that had produced the peppy punk rock we have come to know and love through out childhood is splitting up and doing their own thing (for the time being). First it was the fantastic Angels and Airwaves fronted by Tom Delonge the unmistakable voice of Blink 182 and now it is +44. I recommend visiting their website to listen to When Your Heart Stops Beating ASAP! It is a great song, one that if you hear once, you will have it in your head all day. I’d buy the CD now before they sell out to MTV (they were sadly on TRL today) so you can say you were into them before all the rage occurred!

"I'll be there when your heart stops beating
I'll be there when your last breath's taken away
In the dark, When there's no-one listening
In the times when we both get carried away"

New Font, New FashionOutcast

So… If for some strange reason you have been following this blog (which I am pretty sure no one is due to my lack of comments) I am sorry because I am turning the whole thing around basically because this thing is sucking.

The term FashionOutcast was created by me in the creation of this blog. Now it is sort of my little known trademark, alter ego if you would. My email, SN, and a lot of other things are being inspired by this one term but the one thing I created it for is slacking! FashionOutcast is just a person whose fashion choices (or all choices for that matter) set them apart from others making them a bit of an outcast. The point of this blog in the beginning was to branch out to others who share this same disability (if you could call it that) and teach them that it is cool to break the mold. Whether it is fashion or music or anything really I believe people need to experience everything and judge for themselves what they think is cool, not what your friends or MTV does.

Now I think I am going to continue with that original mission statement and try to branch out to as many people as I can. This is a judgment free place. Sure this started out with fashion but I think I am going to turn this into a blog of knowledge. Things I think are cool, things you think are cool, just a giant exchange of ideas. Websites, blogs, clothes, designers, music, art, movies, tv, anything that inspires me that I think would inspire my audience I will post. I want people to comment and share. Email me at FashionOutcast@hotmail.com if you have anything you want me to mention or check out.

If you come across this blog by accident or find it on a link randomly I urge you to book mark it. Life is about experiencing things and discovering things. Here is an opportunity to do so and I urge you to take the chance because life is to short to second guess yourself.
