so what's up with the classics?
classic icons; classic movies; classic books; classic music; classic style.
sometimes they come to you in black and white, from a completely different time. take grace kelly and audrey hepburn. breakfast at tiffany's and the sound of music.
some of them you'll never get sick of. in my case, it would be pride and prejudice.
then there are fail proof ones that you can watch over and over again, at any time, no matter what mood you're in. i'm looking at you, Friends.
sometimes, they're not really that old, and yet, harry potter is a classic to me.
heck, some even turn into a cultural phenomenon.
most of the time, they speak funny. in SATC, Mr Big always greet Carrie by saying "how're you doing, kid?" Seriously?
oh and one more thing, Black is always in. always. everything looks good in black. the only exception being a wedding dress.
how do they survive through the changing times? fashion comes and goes, but style is forever. what determines that style factor?
they say we learn history as to not repeat the mistakes from our past. is this really why we're fascinated by the past? or is it because it's so unrelatable to us now, that we're so fascinated by it. us Gen. Y kids will never know of stolen kisses or vinyls playing in the background as your parents dance in the living room. and i guess that's part of the reason why i keep going back for more.
