Someone Saved My Life Tonight

I'm sorry about that. But I'm sure you're sick of titles like "Designs - Shall We Dance" which should you desire could be the title of this current post. But for the sake of common decency I shall present you with a more acceptable, completely unrelated title. Because I want to :P

Today's topic is Emoticons.
They are strange things. They are, in our mind, faces. But in the mind of people who are completely unable to see pictures in clouds and such, what are they? Simply lines and dots, letters and punctuation. Why do we use them? There was once a time when one could articulate what they meant quite plainly, without the need for a :'( to show sadness, a ;P for a flirt.
But past the facade (without an accent, sorry), are they really a falsity, reaffirming to people "yes i'm happy see :D" when outside of our internet world, we are incapable of hiding behind screen and text.
I'm happy to hear views, but you all know that my true aim is for you to all tell me your favourite smileys, so that I can steal them and use them for my own.

design - high waisted shorts with ruffled sides and dungarees front, layered shirts
worn with - leg warmers, high heeled ballet shoes

 design - layered ball gown with asymmetric bodice and sleeves
worn with - white leather wedge boots

Truly. Deeply. Thankful.

  1. Hello!
    Thank you ever so much for your lovely comment on my blog! Did you follow? I have a give away coming up for followers only, so get in on that!
    I move on Sunday, and this is my first year at Uni, so I will be writing lots of posts on university life.
    As far as fashion design goes, then my university if definitely one to aim for. I am attending London College of Fashion, which is the only fashion university in the UK, one of the best in Europe, and recognized the world over. Giles studied here, as did ,many other amazing designers. You could also look into Central St. Martins (a sister college of LCF, and part of UAL). Alexander McQueen studied here.
    Look forward to your reply!
