In this wonderful city of New York I am sometimes overloaded with images in my brain. Of you live here you know what I mean. Throughout the day you take in sights, sounds and yes smells (most not good) and they all become a part of your mental catalog. I love to observe everything around me, and one of those things is people.
I ride the train and I am out and about all day long and I draw inspiration from things around me that are aesthetically pleasing. In a city like New York there are an abundance of things to look at and I have noticed that there are some offenders of things that well, look good. I call these beauty sins. Sigh. . . . .
5. Jeans that don’t fit. Now it depends on the look you are going for but if you are thin, don’t wear jeans that sag in your knees or ass. C’mon, we have so many options and if you are on the bigger side no one wants to have an inner debate whether its denim or paint on your legs.
4.There is no reason whatsoever in NYC to have an ugly bag. You can find a functional, cute bag in almost every corner in almost every borough. There is no excuse.
3.Tanorexia. It’s an epidemic people. I must admit it is less prevalent in Manhattan but in some other boroughs (ahem bridge and tunnel) it’s out of control. You look like oompa loompas. It’s not sexy. Be happy with the skin God gave you. No one is naturally orange-the jig is up.
2. A bad weave. I understand a lot of girls wear weave, but the selection in NY for good hair is really a force to be reckoned with. I understand that we can’t always get the good stuff but that’s what the cheaper ones are for- put that shit in a bun and call it a day. Think of it as the sleek debutante look or something.
1.Over tweezing your eyebrows. These tweezer happy people make it very hard for me to look elsewhere. It’s almost like a car wreck, you just have to figure out what went on! Ay yay yay, people, please be aware that a bad tweezing job cannot just cause attention to your bad brows but perhaps other features that you may not want to focus on. Pick a shape that is flattering. And men, only tweeze to clean it up and get rid of a unibrow.

ahem! you tell it sista! step by step booklet, for them to get! #4... NYC is the mecca of bags, it's a travisty that this is even in the top five but style and taste is like rhythm... not everyone's blessed with it.
high 5 and a gay 'haaayyy' on #4, common ladies, would you go about town with a foundation 3 shades lighter than you? hellooo... face and hair 1st thing anyone notices. splurge on your do!
ps... i spelled travesy wrong! lol
Hahaa...this is perfect!
It's so true...way too many fashion sins. Is it really that hard to look decent leaving the house? Do you really not have a real sense of what your body looks like?
If you don't know how to pluck, please consult a professional. Weaves are horrendous for the most part so please explore other hairstyle options. And for the love of GOD do not subject anyone to those fleshy chichos that hang over those tight, yeast-infection causing jeans that obviously do not fit you. It does not look cute!
Be an individual, but please do so with some type of fashion sense.
Thank you.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA i love it! tanorexia is definitely and epedemic and no one wants to see a female looking like a stuffed sausage in a pair of pants and hideous accesories. u should definitely think about creating and urban guidebook for those who transplant themselves into the city and want to blend in.
