Kimkhuu's guide to anyone who wants to be Bobo chic (also known as trend followers) 
:
- You must wash keep your hair clean, because after all that's what you've always done. After all, you don't really like dirty hair don't you? And you must never comb your hair. Before going to sleep, make sure you will roll your head like crazy against your pillow so you can achieve that messy hair just rolled out of bed look. Hair must not be artificially colored or highlighted, if we can see your roots, it's fine, it's COOL. Means you don't give a damn. Right?
- Skin must be clear, because pimples are uncool. Don't wear makeup, except for mascara and CLEAR AND NON SHINY lipbalm. If you wear makeup, you want to look great in our society, and it's NOT OK, you CONFORMIST!
- Don't wear concealer, because we need to see your dark circle (it's because to look cool, you have to be worried about a lot of things all the time so you don't get mucho sleep). If you don't have dark circles (thanks to all those eye patches you've been wearing when you were going for the chic look, YOU CONFORMIST!), use a dark grey eyeshadow to make some. Remember, must look natural. No one should know you've got fake dark circles!
- Denim is your must have. Remember to rip of anything you wear that has denim. That means jeans that are ripped around the knee area. And don't wear those artificially done jeans in store that are super tight and supposedly sexy with artificial bleach. Looks too fake. You don't want to look fake right? Get some Levis (you trend follower probably have enough cash to splurge on some). And if you have the guts, buy vintage jeans and tear them and rip them as much as you can. But don't exaggerate, you don't want to look like someone just threw you in a blender either.
- Only listen to Indie rock bands, because mainstream sh*t is not cool. Come on, you're to cool to listen to rap, hip hop..... Those sh*tty music are for conformists. So you need to listen to bands you won't even like, it's a pain yes, but you'll be one step further to succeeding. Try to buy CDs that you're almost sure no one has (the more the artist is unknown, the BETTER!).
- Chain SMOKE. And learn to keep your cigarette tilted between your lips on one side only. YEAH THAT'S COOL.
- The only shoes you'll wear are CONVERSE ALL STARS that are black and as dirty as possible. Of course, when they're all white, they're not cool, so during a rainy day, walk them to the park, and splash them with dirt. YAY! And kick the asphalt too, so it will look really used, and therefore less fake.
- Wear oversized t-shirts in not bright colors (your color palette must be taupe, grey, white, black, dark blue........ ), and make them look used a bit, so that means, don't fold them when you throw them in your drawers, so it looks cooler. And also, wash them as often as possible so they look used. And if you go to school, or whatever, raise your hands as often as possible (after all you're supposed to be cultivated right, you non comformist?) and it'll be your chance to show off the holes under your armpits.
- Flashy logos are a big NO NO!!!!!!!! Logos are for loosers who want to look cool. And you're no looser. You're SO NOT a trend follower!
- Pretend you're in a rock band with a cool name (usually starts with The... something). Gives you more credibility.
- Only hang out with people who dress like you.
- And last but not least, the key to the look is to look like you're depressed ALL THE TIME. Rarely ever smile. You must have a lot of knowledge about music, books and politics and must must look serious when you talk.
THERE YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
