Fashion Forum!!!

[Mysticbeauty]

People converse about fashion! Like the racial problems places like abercrombie and fitch have. Like how there is an unwritten rule that in commercials or photoshots that there are suppose to be one african american and two causuasians. How things we see in the fashion industry make little girls want to be skinny or have straight hair. Things like that...:lol:

[AutumnDae]

I don't really see a demand for something like this.....

[Mysticbeauty]

ok just pitching an idea :)

[ShatteredWings]

Meh, no real demand

rants and semi-spam discussion go in TWPR, that might fit the reqiruments of what you want to discuss

[Perseus]

Abercrombie has racial problems? When did this happen?

[Antares]

I am in favor of a general Fashion, Style, and Beauty would be a nice addition.
Maybe even expanding more over on that.

[IAMWILL]

If you want this you can request a diary on the site. You can post almost whatever you want there.

[Sage]

MY PANTS ARE BETTER THAN YOURS.

Honestly, I see little reason for it, and it were added, I'd probably just post there because I'm a whore for posts. Go for it, I guess.

[Antares]

If you go to the govteen fashion forum, there are actually legit posts/threads there...

[AllThatIsLeft]

idk .. a fashion section FOR fashion, recommendations, preferences, beauty tips, etc. would be awesome. but for discussion on issues of fashion? meh. not interested.

[Aηdy]

I think it would make a good diary!

[AutumnDae]

I think it would make a good diary!

So do I!

[Bobby]

It would have to be pretty general.
Maybe request a diary and if it get's enough action it will be put into consideration.

[darsh123]

I don't think its demand is that much in these days, i would say not a good idea dude....

[Mysticbeauty]

thanks for the support :] I'll see if i could make a diary

[tresz08]

for me it is not a demand or big deal.as long as you can carry yourself there no problem about that.this is real this is me!!!

[Sugaree]

thanks for the support :] I'll see if i could make a diary

You must be a member for 30 days and have at least 50 posts. Then you can get a diary :)

It would fit in well with the member forums. Good idea to try and bring it out to pubic forums. Nice idea.

[yrina]

i think, you know fashion is not being cool. fashion is the way you carry dresses or styles that represents how you feel or who you are. don't be so obsessed about getting in to a cool fashion. if you think if your going to try latest fashions but you're not comforable on it, then stop thinking that your in. any styles you wear that will make you comfortable or soothe you will make you in-fashion.

[Aηdy]

I am in favor of a general Fashion, Style, and Beauty would be a nice addition.

I'm with you on that.

[Patchy]

Me too sounds good.

[Specter]

I agree... :yes:

[Antares]

I say make a diary for it :D

It would be cool if we had like a...fashion and beauty forum but it wouldnt be very popular

[NightFighter]

Sorry about the very late reply but i really think it would be popular.
A lot of teens are interested in fashion and beauty.
I think threads about having a unique style, what to wear on a first date, cool new hairstyles, make-up tips, dress for less etc would be very popular.

[MoveAlong]

Since when do we need this?

Got a problem with abercrombie? Rant about it in ramblings of the wise....
What to wear on a first date? Go to relationships.

I wouldn't use it

[Antares]

Well obviously there will be other threads within this new forum.

I mean, as I look through GovTeens forum for this

http://forums.govteen.com/forumdisplay.php?f=368

there are many many (well more like all) threads that can be put into TWPR alone. We want to reserve TWPR for rants and other general stuff right?

Well why not weed out all of the fashion, style, and beauty stuff that can be potentially asked.

[ShatteredWings]

fashion is general though.

anyways, there isn't really a demand. i mean the extent of our fashion threads are in the lines of makeup polls

[MoveAlong]

there are many many (well more like all) threads that can be put into TWPR alone. We want to reserve TWPR for rants and other general stuff right?

How many active topics are in the white padded room right now about fashion and style?
Also I like the white padded room the way it is. While it is for rants it shouldn't be primarily for rants with other stuff. It should be nicely blended like it is now.

[Deirdree.]

Id use it..
It could help with a broad range of things that could help a majority of people, not only girls, on this site.

[redcar]

I've generally always said things like "...there wouldn't be a demand for it."

The demand may not exisit but demand can be created. How many more members could potentially join because we have such a forum, one that interest them.

I think we've become very quick dismiss such ideas. Plus whats the harm in trying new ways of thinking.

Rep+

Usually, it seems like we dismiss all new ideas. WE NEED CHANGE! This forum needs to grow in some fashion and that is done by adding forums if needed.

Like Alex said Zach, the demand can be created. If there is a forum, then people are going to post in it.

So I think the seniors should really think about creating another aspect of this forum.

Very wise words Sir :)

[Maverick]

Well can't go wrong with a poll..

[Mzor203]

I voted yes, as I believe that branching out in a couple new directions is a way to help keep a forum dynamic and attractive to people. Everybody loves something new. And of course, the reasons stated above I quite agree with.

[AllThatIsLeft]

I agree with Alex :)

[Antares]

I have a question. Where woudl this forum go?

General Discussions?

[AllThatIsLeft]

Either that, or the 4th Wall...

i would prefer it in the 4th wall



and i think we need to inform members of this poll, or we wont get any votes

[Maverick]

Well I just put up a nice red bold notice that shows on every page (until they dismiss it). That work for you Paula?

[Antares]

I like it!
I love notices! So useful :D Has lots of options too! You should have it say happy bitthday :P

I totally agree.... I voted yes.

[UnholyConfessions]

I don't really think a forum for fashion is needed, but if demand gets heavier, then I think it would be a good idea to place a sub-forum wherever it may best fit.

[Wayvrn]

I don't really see a demand for something like this.....

Nor a need for it...

[MykeSoBe]

Well I voted on behalf of the female VTers since I'm not really into what I wear and don't give much thought to clothes in general. But it still would make an awesome addition to here.

[Ripplemagne]

No.

Too many forums as is.

[YourFriend]

i don't see any use to it, so i voted no

[Bananaaax]

i think it's a good idea
can help a lot of teens figure out their style and ask what to wear before going out on a date etc...
can offer people to give advice about things they're worried about, of flaunt what they've bought and stufff =]

[Bougainvillea]

VT Fashion Statements and General Discussion!

[Jamesmmur]

I love fashion lol I'd probably use it.

[Aηdy]

Good use of the notices ;) I voted yes. We dont have a big demand for it but we can always create one (:

[AllThatIsLeft]

Well I just put up a nice red bold notice that shows on every page (until they dismiss it). That work for you Paula?

HAHAHA Ant :)

That's awesome.

[MoveAlong]

dood.
I lol'd at how many people have answered the poll now. That red banner is an eyesore :P

[Sugaree]

The thing that I'm most concerned about is where we would put such a forum. General Discussions would be a good place to put it. I couldn't see it in the 4th wall, as that seems to be doing fine enough as it is. I'm going to vote yes on this. I agree with Alex said.

I agree here. Unless we go all metaphorical and say that fashion somehow relates to the imaginary wall between an audience and a production.
I think GD is good

OR WE CAN GO REALLY WERID AND CREATE A NEW SECTION

[AllThatIsLeft]

No
ur right
GD would fit

[pontiacdriver]

My thinking is if a fashion forum is around for folks to post specific questions about appearance such as what colour one should dye one's hair, what kind of clothing would look good, or what kind of alterations one should make to one's overall look, etc., then it can serve a great purpose. However, posters should keep in mind that this is not a rating site, and threads which simply post a picture asking about general commentary about how one's appearance is should be locked/deleted. A thread should have a specific purpose about fashion in order for such the forum to serve as a force for good. There should also be safeguards against folks getting flamed about their appearance such as making it clear that one could get an infraction for being nasty or rude. There is a thin line between being honest and being mean, and the powers that be have to figure out where the boundaries should lie wit regards to how one offers feedback.

[sebbie]

It can either work really well or not at all.

In my opinion it would be better to make a section like "Fashion and beauty" or something like that, that way discussion is not just limited to clothes, but talk about cosmetics, makeup tips, skin care as well as clothing tips and what is in season etc.

The downside of fashion forums is it could come down to "My cloths are better than yours" and as clothing is a very personal thing you can expect troll topics to pop up.

I do not think you would have to worry about the demand for the forum as I am sure members will join the forum and post in it, plus a lot of current site members would check it out and contribute to it.

In my opinion you should just try it, and if it takes to much effort you could just remove it. As for where to put it, General Discussion seems like the place where it would fit the best.

[Yesterdays Hero]

I wouldn't use it, but I do think there should be one, because I am sure that there are plenty of VT members who are interested in fashion, and if we have a fashion forum, maybe that would help make more people join VT.

[Antares]

Well it would be about all exterior appearances, so fashion, beauty, and...like style.

Idk if we would have a creative name for it...i think we should

[ocguy]

Majority says YES. VirtualTeen.org can be democratic or they can go Iranian.

[Aηdy]

VT is a democracy but admin has the final say.

[Antares]

I consider it oligarchical...but thats just me...it has it's democratic points :D

[MoveAlong]

Whoa. Dude. That's not even funny. They're having problems right now.

The poll was created yesterday? Maybe we should not make a decision so soon.

Seriously, just because these results came out doesn't mean we should accept an idea within a day. Seriously? Do you think that's the best thing to do?

Maybe we should have it solidify or have at least another day? Why so fast to jump to a conclusion?

[Camazotz]

Honestly, I can't see many people posting in it. I think it would be waste of space and a waste of the admins' time. However, if they agree one is necessary, I'm willing to accept it.

On a side note, I do not think VT should ever be considered democratic, rather a republic. We could have the P101 members vote for inappropriate content to be allowed on VT because they outnumber the "Normies" (Us) by a landslide. Just because there are a lot of people who want it, doesn't mean it's the best idea.

I'd be interested. I'm actually taking fashion and apparel classes!

I think that if the "yes" vote beats the "no" vote by the end of the week, the forum should be made.

Nothing really to wait for...what is there to wait for? Jump to what conclusion?

But seriously what are we waiting for? As far as I know, nothing

[Θάνατος]

I agree why not have a fashion forum just where will it go though?

[Antares]

I agree why not have a fashion forum just where will it go though?

Not sure where the admins will put it but I am guessing GD

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

I've seen fashion forums on other sites that have worked out pretty well. I'd post if we had one here. One of the threads they had that was a big hit was for DIY (do-it-yourself) creations. I'm into making and customizing both my clothes and other things that I own, and I really liked how everyone could post pictures of the clothes/shoes/bags/etc. that they'd put together. It was really cool to see how creative some other people were, and to be able to post pictures of your own stuff and get feedback. That's one thing I can anticipate being in a fashion forum if we had one. A lot of people say they would make/customize some of their belongings if they knew how, and it can actually be really easy. In a time when a lot of people are tightening their belts, so to speak, wouldn't it be good to know what you can do to make new things out of the old things you don't wear anymore? It's a lot less expensive than buying new things and NO it doesn't have to look cheap or like a very worn hand-me-down.

I don't know how popular it would all be at the start, but it's worth a shot. We have other sections that aren't super popular either but that stay open, and I think this is worth giving a chance to see how it goes.

And, for the record, I'm talking about legitimate stuff being posted, not just discussions about whether you like Abercrombie or Hollister the best, or what color eyeshadow is your favorite. Make-up could even be discussed, though, from a more useful perspective. A lot of girls have no clue how to apply that stuff and I see many girls at the mall or walking down the street who look like raccoons or like they applied their foundation with a paint-roller (in a shade which is obviously too dark for them, too!). I see girls trying to look "sexy" and looking ridiculous, and I know that a lot of girls never talk to their moms about that sort of thing. I've been lucky enough to have a mom who helped teach me how to apply make-up and who hasn't afraid to tell me if I look utterly bizarre, but a lot of girls say they've never had anyone to talk to about that stuff. That's something we could cover in there, too. I hope that doesn't sound shallow, and I hope most of you know me well enough to not think that I'm entirely superficial. I do think that, in addition to being a place to talk about fashion from a more artistic perspective, it would be a great way to help girls out with things like that. [/EPIC POST]

It's not like us to make a decision so quickly. I think we should wait at least a few more days. It seems like an impulse to just to it immediately after the poll's up.

[JacobHerrington]

HELL YEAH!
at the risk of being labeled gay i love fashion

[Antares]

It's not like us to make a decision so quickly. I think we should wait at least a few more days. It seems like an impulse to just to it immediately after the poll's up.

The admins usually take forever to get stuff added. There has to be lots of discussion in the board room. It probably wont be up until the end of next week, if they decide to add one

[MoveAlong]

Exactly. I know that. I've visited the site ever since I was 11 (2004) so I know that.

Also, check out the poll results. It's consistently been 2/3 for yes, 1/3 for no. Both results keep climbing, so I think that's a little interesting.

[Aηdy]

Just calm down a little bit, it's not like making a forum is going to cost 100's of dollars and can never ever be removed. The majority of the forum want it, so there's a good chance it will be created. And I think it will be successful. If it's not successful, then remove it, it's no big deal, there's no reason to oppose it so much. VT is growing in size with members, and we need to cater for that with a new forum from time to time.

[NeoKitai]

It's a waste of space and computer memory as fashion is useless. Only people who cry over milk that didn't even spill care about it. Yeah, I'm talking to you. Get something, call it your signature clothing, and that ain't fashion even.

And to this...

vBulletin costs over 180$ to pay every month, maybe sooner. I'm friends with a successful forum creator.

Now I don't agree with this. Fashion is not useless as it is a big part of our society, both with expensive things, and traditional things.

vB does cost. Duh. But it doesn't cost to add an additional forum?

[Maverick]

First off all a vBulletin license costs a one time free $180 and $40 a year to receive updates to new versions.

Adding a forum to site doesn't cost any extra. Adding a whole new site with separate accounts and such do, but adding a forum to this installation doesn't cost anything.

Costs and such isn't anyone concern though.

I'm going to locate PPNSteve of PokeCommunity and shove each post in his face. He lied... again.:yawn:

You make no sense :)

there is a LOT to fashion.

but blind people like you can't see the art in it.
Fashion shapes societies and time eras.
You can look back down the years, and depending on the clothes you can pin point TIME AND PLACE!

It's a form of expression, like music, art, dancing, or literature.

So no, it is not useless.

[AMERICANelite123]

I don't see we need this. thee are other forums you can post on about fashion. Not enough people areinto that stuff and want to chat about it. I know I like fashion and so on but I don't see the need for this. Honestly.

[LiGHT]

IMO I think we should have one. Its a great idea and it can help, how am I supposed to know whats in and whats out haha.

[Antares]

Unless fashion is related to a topic in a certain forum, it is really not talkable...except in TWPR...yea, thats the only place I can think of...and TWPR shouldn't be the place to talk about everything and anything, its nice to stretch out once in a while

[YourFriend]

i don't see any use in it, really

[bagel]

I think that would be wonderful! I might actually come on here more than once a month if there was a Fashion & Beauty type forum.

[ManyPearTree]

Ummm...
I see no point!!
The idea sounds so preppy!!

[rockboy627]

not a high demand for it

[Mysticbeauty]

hi everyone... I guess im the person that started this mess... When i wrote about it i really didnt think Any one would listen so i just gave it a shot. I know some ppl may think its preppy or useless or w.e. But this is also for the expansion of vt we want to make it a greater site than it already is so we need room for new ideas and improvement. When i think about the idea... i know It might crash and burn but hey atleast i tried. I know some people dont agree with it and im sorry but... U cant knock it till u try it so dont assume. When i wrote this i was just experimenting i seriously didnt think it would become a big thing but it did. Thanks for the supporters! It wouldnt hurt to try something new. And also fashion isnt just runway modeling and all that crap. But its what u see ppl wearing on the street and how ppl express themselves through it. -alex

[L]

i say no because I'm just not interested. that may seem selfish but... meh.

edit: oh, i guess my vote was useless assuming the person above me is not fibbing (which i don't suspect). so... gratz on everything working out so well for a newcomer. :D

[Axellance]

yea, i think this would be a nice addition to the site and would be right at home in the 4th wall :) I think it would be good to expand this into general "pop culture" and then it could cover a lot more. or revamp the 4th wall and call it pop culture instead since everything in the 4th wall falls under pop culture alredy, then we could also add some more sub forms including one for fashion trends...idk i am really just thinking allowed. I really think this idea could really broaden the appeal of the site tho.

[mosaic.]

YES.

[Bougainvillea]

I think if people can post about small penises, then people should be able to post about fashion. Haha IMO :)

[millymollymandy]

i'm not particularly fussed, but it would be nice

[drpepper21]

lets face it, fashion is a major part of a teens life. if not fashion, then style, every single human being on this green earth has a style. whether prep, emo, hipster, or average joe, we all have a style. its simply how you dress. we can share ideas on were to buy cheap clothes, or how to be a thrifty shopper. not just fashion, but style, and even clothes them selves.

[2D]

Haha I voted yes before I read what it was for. Haha If I would have known it was gonna be like a discussing about racism in the clothes industry thingy and stuff like that I would have voted no. But I voted yes thinking it was gonna be like tips on like dressing cheap and looking good without spending stupid amounts of money and the like. hahaha oh well. :P

[Bougainvillea]

I think fashion is a major thing in our society. In any society for that matter. It'd be nice to share our views and opinions on it. And give the occasional suggestion.

After all, that IS what this forum is about, right?

[Mysticbeauty]

Okay so when I first pitched the idea for the Fashion Forum I really wasn't thinking. I was just riding on that little spark of idea. As the idea progressed, What I wanted it for changed and now I feel discussing racism about fashion is not really important. Whispering Lies your vote is actually important. As you can see the idea was pitched a long time ago so now I feel the forum is more for tips and fashion advice so on and so on. So you may read the introductory post and say "wow that's stupid" and I agrree I wasnt really riding on importantance or reality but just that spark of inspiration.
So this forum is also for your ideas too. =]

[2D]

Haha alright Mystic. :) I do hope we do get a fashion forum though. :) I think It'd be really neat. :)

[pcd31]

Well, a forum for discussions about curent styles is a good idea. It would be pretty helpful for people who want to try something but need advice about it before hand. This is a teen forum after-all.

[The Pretender]

....

[Maverick]

Well guys since this idea has gotten a lot of support and feedback we now have a Fashion (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=252) Forum located in the 4th wall.

If you have a better description and name please suggest it!!

[Bougainvillea]

"VT Fashion Statements and General Discussion"

[PaperFacesOnParade]

It'd be awesome :D Because people could give each other confidence if you have a really individual style, and how to deal with people taking the mick etc.

[NightFighter]

Fahion, Hair and Make-up Forum.
?

[Antares]

I think it should "The Exterior" or "Your Exterior"

Then some kinda cheesy description that basically says it talks about fashion, style, and beauty

[AllThatIsLeft]

External Expressions?

[HOLEinyoursoul]

i mean, it's fine with me.. w/e :P

[Donkey]

I think how it is now is good enough really.

[Sugaree]

I still think it belongs in General Discussions. I think it would fit perfectly between Tech Junkies and Ramblings of the Wise.

[Bobby]

It's fine.

[Antares]

I don't think it should stay as just Fashion. I think fashion has too much to do with clothes. I think Style or something better, that way its like...everything basically...or Exterior because thats the outside, idk

[Sugaree]

How about "Fashion and Styles"? If people just see "Fashion", then right off the bat they'll think, "This forum is only about clothes and such," when they want to post something about other things, such as make up, perfume and other things RELATED to fashion. A bit of a ramble, but it might help.

[MoveAlong]

^^yes

[Maverick]

Well it says styles in the description but if that's what people want its ok with me.

[Neverender]

[QUOTE=Rubicon;575930]How about "Fashion and Styles"?[quote]

Fashionable Styles.


And maybe we could add the word "Scrumptious" somewhere in there..:P

[Triceratops]

I think "Fashion" best suits along with Music, Sports and TV/Cinema in the 4th Wall and the title is fine too.

The only thing I would suggest changing, if change is really that much wanted, is the description although I see no problem with it the way it is.

[MoveAlong]

I agree that fashion goes with things like sports, music, and cinema, because it's sorta pop culture stuff, and it's not really "help and advice", and it's not really as "general" as the stuff in General Discussions.

But I do think the name needs changing. It's more than just clothes and shoes. There's already a thread in there for piercings, and there's probably gonna be some in for tattoos, and hair, and jewelry, etc...but idk
