America Runs on Racism.

So peep this, Rachael Ray is or in this case was, an endorser of Dunkin Donuts. Well she recently did an Ad for Dunkin Donuts and they pulled it. Why?, you may ask. Well because she was wearing a kaffiyeh aka a hipster scarf, around her neck during the ad. I mean wtf? and of course the news describes a kaffiyeh as "symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism." Omfg! like if they haven't noticed everyone from Kanye West:to self proclaimed "Hipsters":to even Myself:
adorn a scarf like this or similar to it. Its so stupid. So what next? Are they gonna sue H&M for selling these scarves daily? Society is so hell-bent on other cultures. Even if that is what the scarf stands for I doubt Rachael Ray, Kanye West, and Myself have anything to do with terrorism. I mean so what if some Arabs wear the damn scarf, its not like they said that only terrorists wear it. Just because American Media mainstreamed the visuals of only terrorist leaders donning the scarf, now its not patriotic to wear them. Oh please, if it's that serious then why are there still thousands of people donning themselves in white robes and masks, but oh no! the media never covers that. I label this Rachael Ray Kaffiyeh Scandal...BullSh*t,BullSh*t,BullSh*t!

Scarf It Down!






















So i know that alot of...well everyone wears scarves, from "Hipsters" to "It" Girls. And I've noticed that not too many people know how to rock them rite. So here is a lil visual lesson (bought to you by the lovely folks at The-N).















BIG BIB:
1) Fold a big square scarf in half on an angle, so it's a big triangle. (Not perfect, though... keep it a little crooked.) (And remember: fringe = awesome.)
2) Wrap it around your neck like a bib and tie it in a loose, simple knot in back. You can bring the ends back around front and tuck them under, or leave them out. You can leave it straight, or shift the whole thing over to the side a little bit. Whatever, totally up to you.

















NECKWARMER:
1) Fold a big square scarf into a big triangle, then whip it loosely around itself until it's basically a big loose rope.
2) Wrap it loosely around your neck twice, tie the ends in a simple knot, and mess with it 'til it's cute. We're pretty much just making stuff up now... you should, too!
