“Logos are the equivalent of blinged-out hubcaps. Sure, you can spend a bunch of money buying four hubcaps that look like disco balls, but if you’re slapping them on the four flat tires of a beat-up Buick, it’s going to look ridiculous.” –Derek Blasberg, from his new book Classy.
I saw this book on Terry Richardson's blog and was curious about it so I looked it up on Amazon. I went to Barnes & Noble and skimmed through some of the pages and had to buy it. Only strange/embarrassing thing about buying this book (besides the title, and people thinking you wannabe "classy") is that it was in the self-help section of the bookstore! Whatevs, I have no shame. This book is hilarious!
One of the many entertaining topics Derek Blasburg writes about is throwing a fabulous party, and based on my previous knowledge of house parties, I could definitely use a tip or two! In my experience, a house party either includes sitting in someone's garage on beach chairs drinking Natural Light and eating lots of fatty fried/grilled/smoked/marinated meat or raw fish (learned from growing up in Hawaii), or it involves stacks of red plastic cups, jungle juice, party fouls, and keg stands in someone's dirty old house with sticky floors and couches that the residents had picked up off the side of the road (learned from college).
And while my known definition of a party is not too shabby, I'd have to say, basically, I'm very un-classy.
