cluster ring

A ring made up of many little stones that are fused into some huge shiny "exploding" shape, such as a star, a heart, a circle'diamond/square/, and even a (yuck! how mainstream!) flower. The cooler shapes are now worn by some very "on-the-edge" punk rockers/indie people/freaks.

I bought a multicolored glass cluster ring in the form of a green and red diamond.

cock tease

I'm supriused at how negatively this word is defined. In the "hardcore" culture, this word doesn't have such a negative connotation. Since "hardcore" girls are hard to get, if one is actually flirting with you and giving you some heavily sexual innuendos but being all coy and "unsure" about it, it means she is a "cock tease", which actuallhy means that she is seriously considering sex with you...

-I was reading my Anthropology textbook, which talked about rapists in fraternties using this word in a negative sense, and I was so surprised because I'd never heard it being used in that sense.
-The boi says I'm a cock tease but that's a good thing because that means he shall get what he wants ;-)

nantucket red

Faded red color, a cross between red and pink, associated with sailing shirts worn on the island of Nantucket, MA. What happens when you leave a red clothing item lying out in the sun too long. Not just for WASPy millionaires anymore...any Cape Cod-associated subculture can wear it, albeit in slightly "different" ways.

I descended on Cape Cod in a gauzy Nantucket Red and black leopard print top, ready to raise some hell and to flirt with the hot goths.
I left a red T-shirt in the sun too long, and now it's a lovely faded Nantucket Red.

pornstar shoes

Thick-soled, usually platform-heeled sandals or shoes. Some heels can be as high as 8 inches...those are too uncomfortable for normal life though. 4 or 4.5 inch-ones are cool. I have 2 pairs of more-or-less pornstar shoes, but, just for the record, all my shoes with heels are thick.

I wear pornstar shoes to show my individuality and to pay tribute to 1970s punk culture (which was close to porn)...I even wore a pair to my prom banquet, and no one gave a shit.

poncho

A Latin American style of shawl, traditionally woven from wool, but now can be made from any material. It's basically a piece of cloth wrapped around the shoulders and hanging down to your waist, and it has a hole for the head in the middle. It was extremely popular in the 1970s. Supposedly, trendy grade school kids are wearing them now, but I'm in college and I wouldn't know about that.

I just bought a black fishnet poncho with sequins, which will form an integral part of my new "1970s punk/porn" style.

mario winans

P Diddy's protege..awesome r&b singer and producer..signed to BadBoy Entertainment. Never Really Was is only the second hiphop/r&b song with a creative Madonna sample (first one was that song by Mase and Total that sampled Justify My Love).

I enjoy listening to Mario Winans' CD Hurt No More. Those well-made but slightly disposable BadBoy productions soothe my ears.

Urban Planet

Canadian chain store based in Montreal, as all Canadian clothing stores, are and situated all over Canada (and in the US now too). A more expensive, higher-quality version of Stitches, which is a store that sells utterly crap hip-hop/skater clothing. Basically, Urban Planet has 4 brand labels: Urban Planet, Sirens, Seduction, and Whisper. They sell clothes of all styles, from preppy to hip-hop to vaguely goth, for very affordable prices. The service at some stores (eg the Promenade Mall superstore in Thornhill, ON) is pretty shitty though, although other stores make up for that. Urban Planet is probably the most risque of all Canadian clothing stores and sells a lot of "out-there" items (eg. micro mini skirts, very low-cut halter tops, and tank tops that say "Looking for a man"), but you can get some gorgeous, non-designer, punk/goth-looking stuff there very cheap, so I love it.

I just bought a green striped top (like that girl on the NIN webcam wore) at Urban Planet. It cost me $5 (like $3.50 US for all you Americans). How amazing is that?
