Business of Fashion: “Cute” is on its Way Out for Chinese Young Women
You know, it does make me look 10 years younger, but I still think I rock the nerd raccoon hoodie.
As a 24-year-old Chinese American woman, I admit I have mixed feelings about my Nerd Raccoon Hoodie from Forever21:

BOF outlines changing cultural international fashion trends in Amongst Chinese Girls, Cute Gives Way to Cool:
First, she holds up a big panda-eyes T-shirt and announces: “This was our bestseller last spring.” Then she points to the bunnies that swarm all over the brand’s summer miniskirts, another bestseller. Finally, she presents a whole menagerie of cats, swans, lions and mice that proudly parade on a successful series of tops. In the winter, she said, faux-fur hoodies with small ears have been doing well, helping this writer to understand why chilly Chinese girls sometimes look like bear cubs.
Until recently, these kinds of “childish” products have driven strong results…
While the women born in the 1980s lived in an environment of fast economic growth, combined with rigorous education standards, post-90s…

How I Learned SEO With No Guide: The Secret to Success!
I blogged a lot. I blogged about different things. I looked at my stats. Then I blogged more and wrote for different sites and in different ways.
This is a cute animal. On a hoodie. On a girl.
My boobs are actually much bigger than that in real life. I’m #asian and a 34C.
You should follow my blog. #boobs #boobs #boobs

Seriously, what’s up with all these “How to Blog” blogs following me. There’s too many. Find a niche, guys. If you are supposedly SEO geniuses, you should know that already.
- “How to Write a Porn Blog.” (Be hot.)
- “How to Be Funny.” (Rip off funny people.)
- “How to Give Up.” (Join the Army.)
- “How to Make Money Online.” (Stop learning SEO and learn to code.)

There you go. The secrets to success. Maybe read one or two tutorials. But mostly just try a bunch of shit and then replicate what works.

Trust me, I have big boobs.
“Aggressive Following” and my Dissatisfaction with Twitter
I tried to start a new media account for viral promotion purposes. On Twitter. Because I thought that’s what the Twitter was for.
I believe, as a semi-professional blogger, that I know how NOT to spam and I also believe that I know how interact with new people online in meaningful and interesting ways. I followed 160 accounts over the course of 2 days. I was suspended almost immediately even though I had 34 posts, most of them being interactions with those people I followed.
To avoid any potential backlash (making me paranoid, Twitter and reddit, with all this banning) I have blurred the username:
Holy shit, does this piss me off.
It was just an annoyance until I tried to go through the whole unsuspension proess and it turns out the Captcha thing isn’t even working properly. [You actually need a space between the two words, a detail they should specify. I actually tried the space the first but I got a straight up Fail Whale technical error the first time.]
I’m glad Automattic and WordPress have never given me any problems. ❤ flexible and reasonable websites.
Share if you feel the same way or have had the same problem with being unfairly suspended from somewhere. Buttons on the bottom. Share my rage; it can be our Twitter rage together.

The Cult of Cutco Tries Desperately to Knock Me Off Google
Vector Marketing Scam
–
My most popular post currently, in terms of per-day page hits, is my old exposé on Vector Marketing:
The Cult of Cutco: How Vector Marketing Mass-Hires Students into Dubious Contract Labor
Vector Marketing caught on and, realizing they could lose a bunch of money on a Google Search, bought a bunch of shitty domain names to bump down all the talk about how everyone hates Vector Marketing.
They even bought vectormarketingscam.com with links to… personal testimonies! *gasp* Read a real story by a real 18-year-old kid!
I understand SEO, Vector Marketing, I see it.
Anyway, if you are a pissed off former Vector employee, go the original Cult of Cutco article and share it. If you want to blog about Vector also and link me, please copy paste the entire post title or use the phrase “Vector Marketing Scam,” because I think those are the two easiest way to help bump my Google rankings back up.
There are easy share buttons at the bottom of the article too. I think the one that gets the most exposure these days is Reddit.
So, thanks, guys. Rock on spreading the information.
