Assignment:
Create a blog that reflects your interests and drive traffic to your site.

Cholafied comes from the mind of a Los Angeles kid who grew up in the 90's back when chola style was popular. Cholafied combines the nostalgia of L.A. street culture with L.A.'s obsession with fame. Los Angeles manufactures the famous. We have fandoms who are loyal to them, but like a gang initiation we beat them down so we can watch them try to get back up. I reimagine pop culture icons as L.A. gangster chicks, and jump them into a gang - into the absurd.

Result:
In one day Cholafied.com had spread to over 160 countries. In less than a month it had over 100,000 unique visitors and 10,000 Tumblr followers. It was featured on news sites (Huffington Post, LA Weekly), gossip blogs (Dlisted, Oh No They Didn’t), lifestyle blogs (Paper Magazine, Vice), and design blogs (Design You Trust, Inspire First).

Buzzfeed even dubbed it “your new favorite Tumblr”. www.Cholafied.com

I think the only reason that tumblr is successful is because ppl see the URL and start singing "so-o-o/so-o-o/so-o-o cholafied" to the tune of Da Brat's "Funkdafied"

going someplace "to see what the fuss is about" has a whiff of "here we are now, entertain us." why can't you go someplace cuz it sounds good, why do you have to have people "impress" you all the time?

I knew an (azn) girl who bought a DSLR just to take pictures of food for her food blog

chris paul george hill (dayo), Monday, 4 June 2012 01:54 (1 year ago) Permalink

i'm gonna say racist; but then again people should stop taking pictures of their food, so i give it a cautious pass if it shames any asians into stopping

Nhex, Monday, 4 June 2012 04:43 (1 year ago) Permalink

maybe a lil' racist, mostly hilarious

shackle shoe: is this racist... you decide.

http://www.freep.com/article/20120619/NEWS07/120619061/Adidas-withdrawing-shackle-shoe-Jesse-Jackson-criticism?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE%7Cp

The designer, meanwhile, says the inspiration for the shoes was a cartoon character and toy from the 1990s called My Pet Monster, which is purple and blue and is restrained by orange shackles.

That explanation did not convince Lola Adesioye, who writes in the Guardian that the whole episode reflects badly on Adidas:

"There's no doubt that Jeremy Scott, despite his assertions to the contrary, was making a statement about the enslavement of human beings. If he wasn't, he would not have used a shackle-like ankle cuff – with all of its implications.

the guardian: "that's racist"

"Blogger Rachel Tension writes on Stylite.com that pulling the shoes was “an unfortunate decision that says more about people’s propensity to 1) see racism where racism isn’t necessarily hanging around and 2) be really dumb on the internet"

blogger: "that's not racist, also u r dumb"

Lola Adesioye didn't really say that they were racist. Her take was that they would obviously remind a lot of people of the slave trade but that they said more about consumerism than race.

i'm not sure this is racist. are people just angry at jeremy scott for being a 'weird' designer?

or for being dumb and not realizing the connotation of putting leg shackles on a human?

was my pet monster racist

Jeremy Scott is the toolbag with the stupid hair, right

This is basically "not racist but COME ON"

Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 22:35 (1 year ago) Permalink

is the first thing that someone thinks going to be "oh, my pet monster!"

because I seem to remember that toy but didn't until prompted
