Guess who is going to be all fancy n stuff and talk at L2's Generation Y conference this Friday? Me, that's who! And I'm going to be talking about the Unpredictability of Gen Y, and just to be unpredictable and Gen Y-ish, I'm not going to tell you any more than that! Other than that I have considered the outcomes of arranging some kind of musical number that would force the audience to participate, but quickly put that idea away and decided to save my voice for failed attempts at the same thing in the cafeteria, from which I have learned that these kinds of things only happen in movies like The Breakfast Club and Empire Records. Not a fan of teen unity, us kids! Except for when we're fictional characters!
And since I can't think of an image to accompany post, I'll just post a scene from Empire Records of my favorite character, Eddie. The only one I could find was in French, though, so I'll pretend that I did this on purpose, like how lots of fashion blogs and Tumblrs are obsessed with posting videos in French or stills from French cinema. But mine is better because he has great eyebrows and special brownies, so take that, Godard fans!
Back to the Generation Next talk: details are here. Wish me luck!
Would love to see you talk, but for geographical reasons, I can't :-(( Hopefully someone films it. Break an arm!! (just to be unpredictable).
ReplyDeleteP.S Isn't that funny! I can say "Break a leg", but I can't say "Break a arm" - 'cause it's not proper English? :-)
ReplyDeleteMost certainly you'll be amazing and blow them away.
ReplyDeleteExcellent selection with Empire Records :)
Oh man. Mark with a "K" is such a dream boat.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the gig!
ReplyDeleteYou've really made a career for yourself from blogging, and I'm confident you'll end up straight up there with the big guys in fashion (if you aren't there already!).
Good for you!

I wish I had hundreds of dollars or awesome connections to go hear you speak, but I guess I'll have to settle for reading your free blog (or possibly watching it months later if they put it on Youtube like TED?)
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I wouldn't rather have anyone else talking to these executives about Gen Y. Show them you're a force to be reckoned with!
This is unrelated, but I wanted to make sure you saw that Christina Kelly loves you:

ReplyDeleteWoowooo go you! Have a good time, I hope you get a video of your speechy thing! I'm a generation Y-er, so put a good word in for us ;)
ReplyDeleteanyways, good luck! Break both legs! (that doesn't even sound lucky! And I love exclamation marks too much! haha)

Good luck with the gig. Unfortunately, I am in Athens right now,so it would be impossible to come and see you, but I'm sure you'll be great and I'll get to read about it. Pretty tricky subject they got you talking about... ;)
ReplyDeletebest of luck!

I don't get it tavi, sometimes I agree with you, some times I strongly disagree with something you say, and it makes you sound increadibly immature, you always talk crap on people posting models and french things on tumblrs, and I follow your tumblr, you DEFINATLY post loads of stuff under those categories. just be real and drop this act that your so cool and above everything. people like what they like get over it.
ReplyDeleteMy two favorite characters are Mark and Lucas. I LOVE EMPIRE RECORDS! <3

It’s OK, Gevinson. Oui Godard fans are perfectly secure in our coolness, sexiness, and… intellectualness?
ReplyDeleteI love this movie and the character of Ethan Embry. Hilarious that you could only find it in French...I just got back from 7 mths in France, and I am having trouble understanding some of the sentences.
ReplyDeleteLoved your line, "Not a fan of teen unity, us kids! Except for when we're fictional characters!"
So true.

I went to a conference called "What Teens Want"!!! Check out this blog that Evelyn wrote about it!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.forsistersbysisters.com/2010/05/13/my-very-first-conference/
Weird coincidence - I saw Empire Records for the first (and second, and third...what ? I really liked it) time in France and it was most defintiely in English then. Unless my French was REALLY good at the time and I just didn't notice they were speaking in French, it came so naturally to me ?
ReplyDeleteNo, there probably was a sub-titled version and then a dubbed version too...
delicious.
ReplyDeleteyour an awesome blogger,
satisfying writer.

French, certainly that's unpredictable... bien sur.
ReplyDeleteAnother essential tip--shop at Gılt. Because of the discounts, I never really have to shop anywhere else anymore--its ruined everything for me except sample sales. If you figure out your sizing, you can get ridiculous discounts-- 70% off retail, and even more on the final sales on brands from Ralph Lauren Black Label to Michael Kors, Vince, Dolce & Gabbana, and everything in between.

ReplyDeleteThis L2 thing is just going to be fodder for marketing mumbo-jumbo for years to come. Don't feed the beast!
ReplyDeletethis might sound utterly 'predictable'
ReplyDeletebut we indigojuveniles love you with the fire of a thousand suns
we did a tad of stalking on your blog and are bewildered to find that while we were eleven and reliving the eighties in fluro you were dressing up in undeniably magnificent pieces of art!
i love this film! and it in french reminds me of long exchange holidays FAB!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be in the breakfast club for the whole of my tweens.
Unless there's a picture of Warren Beatty and/or Warren Beatty's hair, it's very cruel to name a post that and not deliver
ReplyDeleteCarry on.
omg i LOVE empire records! i used to watch it in 8th grade everyday after school....imagining my life would turn out like that someday! the only similarity to my life now is i glue change on the floor every opportunity i get.
ReplyDeleteha superbe ! juste superbe !
ReplyDeleteCELINE&CHARLOTTE
