The Good Ones

I'm going to make a little collage/list of the people worth noting and watching out for because ladies and gents: these are the good ones. 
1. Regina Spektor- she's managed to illicit the deepest of human emotions with her stunning compositions/lyrics that inspire something deeper than..oh...what day of the week it is. There's real talent here folks, she'll break  your heart and then give you hope to reach out for love again.
2. Carey Mulligan- Not your average actress...better. You won't find her making an appearance at every fancy event just to get more attention. No, this lady is classy. She has the essence of an old time movie star, yet maintains the modesty that promises grade A performances every time.

3. Andrew Bird- His lyrics will get'cha and that's for certain. Sometimes it's hard to understand what exactly he's saying, yet the music that is plucking away behind him creates a mutual feeling of understanding nonetheless. His spunky acoustic diddies never disappoint and there's a song for every perfect 10 moment as well as those rainy day moments.
Indhra Chagoury & Jeremy Jules-the creators of www.wearehandsome.com, these Australian designers have crafted spunky suits that draw the eye towards those sunny days and being the unique babe/beau amongst wallflowers. Though the collection is not extremely large in content, there is nothing subtle about these suits. I ran across them by accident and now frequently visit, envisioning myself in the black panther suit or the James Dean inspired suit. ;)
*So these are just a few people to look over. I don't want to overwhelm anyone. ;) I guess my point is to look for those who aren't making music about slapping a hoe and designing the clothes of conformity and looking up to those actors/actresses who have turned the craft into an easy way to gain popularity and get drugs on the side. There's so much inspiration out there that if I listed all that I knew of here, my blog post would be 365 days long. They don't have to be famous by any means, but sometimes I feel like the youth culture is allowing itself to be clutched in the wicked hands of the big-time industries that force feed the mass to it. Look for the beauty in things. Our world would be a little better if everyone just looked for the beauty and stopped trying to outdo each other by creating bigger and louder. Subtleties love modesty which is the granddaughter of beauty.
