Should I even bother applying so I can contribute and make it (what I think is) better or is this a lost cause.

write about rock's latest show
shows an open-mind (depending on your view of it obviously) and shows your up to date

I am laughing so hard because my friends and I were literally just joking about that right now. Fuck I don't even understand it.

I mean the current posts explain concepts such as raw denim and cardigans... maybe I'll just go along that vein. Boots. Cashmere. Scarves. Idk.

Talk about how a suit should fit. Use diagrams from TSB (cite them!), poor suit fits from MFA, or diagrams from the sticky to show the good and bad things. Talk about the "alternatives" to plimsolls. Think of all the major style gaffes that you see at school and write about those with the intent of improving the small percentage of students that read the fashion section of the local school paper.

Please note that this may require you stepping up your personal style game.

anything man. just make up a pen-name and say whatever the fuck you want about anything.

Just remember two things: establish credibility through tone, and if you're going to "tear something down", "rebuild" something in it's place.

any joe blow can write something about how something sucks and is bad and wrong, if you want to be someone you've got to show someone what they're doing wrong, why, and how to fix it or get better.

Don't bother anon. In your life you'll run into many 'fashionistas' with the 'foodie, coffee, fashion' mentality who think they are the end-all be-all of fashion simply because they dress in j-crew or whatever. They may annoy but learn to let go. Who cares at the end of the day. They're just clothes.

Look at your local fashion festival if you want to see the vapid sluts shitting up the definition of fashion simply because they browse tumblr

I love you. And yeah, I think I'll write under a pseudonym for the beginning- don't want anyone to judge me on my basic bitch days.

First thing to come to mind is inarticulate hot-or-not drivel

The name alone is a turn off, even if it's tongue-in-cheek. At least something simple like Fashion Club seems earnest as if they have a serious interest in fashion as opposed to an interest in being a part of a cute little elite.

No problem, bro. If I didn't go to school online, I would love to write for a school paper. I'm currently working on my photography game so that I can start blogging, but I need live subjects to practice my craft.

No, I don't impose my hobbies/views on anyone else. They're annoying as fuck and try too hard but I won't really bother converting them to what I consider to be 'true' fashion unless I liked them.

My city's biggest tumblr slut for example finally got a bit of money, taste and connections but she's still extremely annoying

OP of course you should! If you have an interest in fashion and want to not only explore your own views and ideas on fashion, but communicate those ideas to other people, it would be a great decision. Seriously just do what you feel will make you happy, fuck the people that tell you no. And don't judge others trying to do the same thing, just because their views are different.

how do their fashion choices affect you and your feeling,you could alwasy show her the way,then Merz might take her,but unless your skin is allergic to those labels,thats nothing more than an excuse.
unless it's all a...joke?
