Fashion blog critiques Athens style

Abstract:
There is a crisis plaguing this University, according to senior Allie Bashuk. How does one achieve a fashionable look for class without overdoing it? The senior fashion merchandising major from Marietta created ugastyle.com to answer the question.

"I want people to take pride in what they look like," Bashuk said....

There's no problem with syntax there, just word choice. Nice job trying to sound smart, though.

UGA Style is AWESOME.

It is the place to go to see what to wear and what not to wear.

Allie knows what she is talking about.

Dear Miss Carrie Bradshaw wannabe with my big productless hair,

As you walked into my CSCI1100 class I though gee I think I saw that girl on the cover of the red and black. Then I looked at my R&B and realized, yes, it is you. You and your tunic without shorts, wannabe dress. Your blog is Perez Hilton gone extremely bad. You are what makes fashion superficial. How can you judge others when you cannot even dress yourself, let alone brush your hair. I hope you know that as a fellow follower of fashion wearing a white LINEN "dress" after Labor Day is more despicable than half of the critiques you have given. If by critiques we mean malicious statements. I wish I had time to stalk people with my camera phone and then proceed to write a blog about them, not giving any real fashion advice. When in fact you are compensating for your oh-so clear veiled attempt at confidence. Clothing is an extension of a person and by giving your "critiques" you are degrading individuals, that you do not even know.

Listen I understand having a bad day and wanting to vent, just like when I saw YOUR ass crack today on the way up the steps, but girl... do your school work. Get an education. And please don't speak unless you know what you are talking about. I cannot wait for the day I show up on your blog! If I am on the "don't list" I will feel honored. See you Wednesday!

I agree- Anna sounds like a bitch. I think she realized that she is one of the many stupid girls on campus wearing running shorts when they clearly don't plan on running any time soon (especially when worn with a nice button up polo). That is her reason of lashing out or she really is just a bitch that felt like bashing someone who is just doing her thing.

And I think her blog is funny as hell.

People wear running shorts because they are COMFORTABLE. Please, take the stick out of your ass. There are more important things in life than judging people for their taste or lack thereof in fashion.

Anna is not a heinous bitch. She was just expressing her opinion, like Allie.

I saw Allie on campus today as well and if she is going to persecute other people for their style she really should make sure her style is nothing less than something straight off the run way.

I mean just check out her Facebook. She was wearing shorts that look like they are made out of a towel in Florence,Italy, a place far more fashionable than Athens.

(I had to check it out to get a better sense of what she wears since the photograph in the Red and Black was just a headshot.)

Basically, my point is that if you are going to publicly criticize others for the way they dress you need to make sure you are on top of your game.

And if you are going to pick to criticize a person for what they wear..leave out the fact that they have a handicap. You are criticizing what they are wearing not poking fun at their physical handicap...Their handicap is irrelevant. (Check out the post from Wednesday, August 27th..then you'll know what I'm talking about).

I didn't say she was complimenting him.
I said she was criticizing him which does not mean complimenting.

Nope. Not complimenting. she says..."-If Captain Hook can make an effort to look fly- so can you. There is NO EXCUSE for bad clothing, even if you have one hand!"

The most characteristic feature of UGA style is that 99% of students wear sports clothing 99% of the time. The typical outfit consists of running shoes, sports shorts, and a t-shirt with advertising printed on it. This makes uga fashion highly constricted and forces the observer to pay extremely close attention to the small differences in style.
Don't waste your time paying attention to things that are considered fashionable by Cosmopolitan or on television - that has no relevance to UGA. Tell us more about the 1,000 different "Georgia Bulldogs" articles of clothing that are popular here and why people choose, for example, a t-shirt with an anthropomorphized bulldog in a speedo over, for example, a bulldog visage with huge, fearsome-looking teeth.

Anna - if you are as avid a follower of fashion as you claim, you would know that the rule about wearing white after Labor Day is almost as outdated as making a Sex in the City reference in a public forum. And what do you know about fashion? You are not an expert just because your new-rich daddy has probably scraped together enough to buy you a low-model Lexus, a Coach bag, and a pair of Citizens jeans. Which you undoubtedly wear horribly. Did Allie make fun of you on the blog? Do I detect sour grapes?
Get YOUR facts straight - Allie's blog is awesome, she has confidence oozing from her pores, AND her hair is fantastic.

This blog is just a bunch of sorostitutes in jeans and t-shirts. Clearly Allie Bashuk is hardly a fashionista. Also she really seems to enjoy poking fun at our homeless population which is just mean. I guess that's also typical sorostitute behavior.

I just met this girl for the first time yesterday. She came into my bar during Happy Hour and she is absolutely adorable. Her personal fashion sense is simple and elegant, and as a girl with curly hair who must use products, her ringlets are absolutely natural without crispy hair gel!

Also she is simply stating what many others are already thinking. Ever asked your boyfriend if he like Vera Bradley? The consensus I here is that they look like something your granny made for you and you're being the kind granddaughter for using it.

Don't be a hater. This is a girl trying to make a living doing something she loves and is passionate about. You all just wish you thought of it first!

While I'm not giving my opinion on her blog (because frankly I couldn't give any less of a shit), Chanel, I'm replying specifically to "don't be a hater". Her blog is all about hating on other people because of the way they dress, so its only fair to let people hate on her or her blog. That's just the way it goes.

I ALSO I wanted to inform you that I help adjust his pants, hair, teeth, eye buggers, belt etc EVERY morning... he tends to get pretty disheveled on morning commute.

She can say what she wants to say, but try to have a little more tact. If anything. Please. Your comments can be very hurtful. I saw my friend on there who happens to be one of the most stylish people I know, regardless of your bad opinion. Fashion is self-expression, not something that is dictated by some know-it-all, self-important fashion merchandising major. Taking secret pictures of people and then writing harsh remarks about them is actually quite creepy if you think about it.

Would you consider London a fashionable place? I lived there over the summer and half the styles you trashed on your blog were present there, and generally Europeans are more fashion forward than Americans. They know it's about individuality. Go ahead, have an opinion. But don't be rude. Say why the outfit doesn't suit YOUR taste, not that they're fat and shouldn't wear bright colors or certain shoes. You're not here to make enemies? I guess it's pretty trendy to have frenemies. If you're going to talk trash about someone's outfit, please, say it to their face at least instead of them finding out about it through a blog. Or perhaps you can stick to a more positive blog which would be more enjoyable to read. Your remarks about the looks you liked weren't so bad, and I think

I have curly hair, too. Frizz-ease. It works.

I think if anything, writing postive things in your blog and updating people who are actually into fashion (because obviously the grandmas you trashed aren't) about fashion forward things coming into Athens would be more tasteful.

i was going to take time to write a really long response about how a) this blog is stupid and b) this girl is gonna get a harsh bie of reality in her ass when she steps outside Athens and tries to actually do this for a living.

Then it hit me.

WHO

THE

FUCK

CARES

Who cares what girls wear home for a walk of shame across campus.

Who cares if a guy wears socks with sandals. If his feet are cold, then fuck you, he's wearing socks.

Who cares what Allie Barsuk thinks? A few of her friends do now (and thanks Red & Black for feeding hits to her shitty ass blog and inflating her ego), but she'll find out soon what a very, very small fish she is in a real big ocean.

Let's get this out of the way: someone will soon post underneath me that I MUST care because I took the time to write all of this. Really, I don't. I just know too many people like Allie and hope they don't take over this town anytime soon. Oh, and it's a really slow day at work.
