 nSimple so I like it.

Urban streetArt «

ii Luv it when people go creative on the streets. Graffiti on walls, on the most random places , even on trains. I just stare at them lol. What can I do :P ?

Make people smile when they see your art
Make people think when they see your art
Make people FEEL when they see your art
Just be creative without words.

Let your creations speak.
Let them live and let them tell a story. You have to be creative to make art, but you also have to be creative to get ''it''.

Say what you wanna say.

Some people are so damn talented !! 

Even grafitti is a kind of art (most of them) [This one's in Germany,Düsseldorf] It almost looks unreal  =| But thats the awesome thing about art ; Don't follow any rules. Just don't  . Just like Ed Hardy t-shirts :) 

Some people just...earn their money with making this kind of art :o It simply proves that talent can get you anywhere [ if you're reaaaally good] Art is never perfect, cause ''perfect'' doesn't exists therefore , the phrase ''Practice makes perfect'' isn't what you think it is. ''Practice makes it better'' is more appropriate for this one :)

 <== I know right..?

Because a combination of imagination+inspiration = a badass creation =).

Superüberbadassness & Upcoming talent =).

Sometimes you gotta...

Good friends. That's what Leiny and I were.

We're classmates,we laugh together and we're quite close. We spend our periods together, have our lunch together and yeah....good friends :) She told me about her problems and vice versa'' 

So one day we were planning to lunch together (again). We were walking to our lockers when suddenly she saw her ''crush'' waving at her. ''Come here!,'' he yelled happily. She really likes him (and he's cute yeah :) ) but Leiny didn't want to leave me alone cause that would be ''mean''. 

I knew how much this means to her and said :'' Go !! '' 

No,no..'', she said.  ''No, go ! I mean it :D !''   ''Well..Are you sure? ''  ''Nooooooo ¬¬ Just go :) ''  '' Okay..''

And she went to him. So there I was. Alone ( lol ) But it's okay. I could of gone WITH her, but that would ruin ''the moment''  So I ate my lunch with other friends and tweeted on Twitter ( in Dutch): ' Sometimes you gotta sacrifice things to help your friends. Only THEN you're ''true''. 

So after the break, she had my Blackberry, read it ,hugged me and said : ''Mel, you're a really really really really really true friend .''

I actually didn't expect that cause it was such a small thing. A small deed..But then I realised that I did something..that meant a lot to her. She didn't expect that from ME. Maybe from her best friend, but not from me... JUST a good friend.So I learned that there's a difference between ''good'' friends and ''true'' friends. 

Ghehe, you know what they say :) 

A good friend bails you out of jail ; A real friend sits next to you and says ''Dude.....we're fucked...''

 We became closer that day.

True friends. That's what Leiny and I are.

Moving on, moving on

I feel alone.
I wanna travel, do stuff, meet people , change a bit of the world. Dreams,dreams,dreams. 
And life's too short you know. Dude, I wanna be free. I don't want to regret ANYTHING. Young & full of life.
Hopes,hopes,hopes.. I want people to know my name, we all do. I wanna take the first step, ..we sometimes do. I wanna be different and myself, ..I always am. Creating space for my ego,.. if I had one. Life,life,life..
I wanna go where no one else went.. I'll never stop chasin'my dreams. I'll always be the fresh hippie.The Brilliant Outcast.  I wanna walk on the clouds..walk on my dream. Dream,dream,dream. Cause I'm not done yet... I wanna leave my footprints behind when I'm not there. I wanna live..my life..til'  I die.
Someday, it'll be your day. Wait,wait,wait..

Alors On Dance !

Paul van Haver aka Stromae is a Belgian singer-songwriter. I just think he's amazing :)
I don't think he's popular in the US but he clearly is in (West-)Europe with his hits Alors On dance and Te Quiero. His music is more a mix of hiphop and techno and other stuff. It's simply awesome. No seriously it's AWESOME !

When we say study, it means work,
When we say work, it means money,
When we say money, it means spending
When we say credit, it means debt,
When we say debt, it means bailiff,
We agree to being in deep sh*t
When we say love, it means kids,
When we say forever, it means divorce.   - Stromae ( Translation of Alors On Dance )

Pure Fashion

Viktor & Rolf .I really admire their work. They're pure, amazing and very original ! They're both Dutch but none of my classmates ever heard of them. They brought the definition of Fashion to a whole new level. I'm young, but I think that real and good fashion goes together with art and passion. You can't define Fashion cause it's such a big subject.

You have different kinds of fashion. And Viktor & Rolf are Brilliant Outcasts !
And what about Simon Spurr ? Woeeiii !! This English gentleman is great ! Mademoiselle Coco Chanel with her haute couture  ,. So many designers,people ...But never too much. Fashion changed a lot of people's lives cause it's so inspiring, so alive ! And it's so 2010 and next year fashion will be so 2011 and so on. I'm actually more interested in street fashion. Ever noticed how many clothing styles you see when you're walking in the mall? No? You'll be amazed ! A lot of styles but one goal : Looking good. Looking attractive. Looking fly :)   Or people want to express themselves. Reasons enough to expand your wardrobe !
Harajuku girls have a very rare,cool and freaky style ( I like it ! )
Dressing like that is their way of saying : ''AYE!  ''  2010 has been a year with crazy styles, so up next : 2011.
I can't wait ! Fashion...You keep surprising me over and over again =)

What if...

''What if'' she thought. Those were the first two words ( In Dutch ofcourse ) I thought about, when I started this blog. I was that kind of girl who had lots of those ''What if'' moments. We all do. Be honest, the only thing that stops you from doing things you like is yourself. We think too much about how the rest of the world will see us if we do curtain things.  We grew up with '' If you do that, you'd look stupid !'' and ''do's and dont's '' But it's not always about the rest. But also about you. You make and break your happiness. Look at all the artists. Lady Gaga, 50 Cent  and others who ignored the ''What if'' moment.

You are the one who decides about your future. 

It sounds like a big cliché but it's the truth. It's time to be yourself and do it your way !!

You might regret what you did, but a normal person makes mistakes and learns from it. 

So put a damn flower in your hair and do what you've always wanted to do .Some people never listed to themselves until their last day of life...Don't end up like that.

''What that doesn't kill me, makes me stronger.''

And it begins ~~

First official blog, first subject and so many things to share.
Well, this is the beginning of ''Brilliant Outcast'' and I'm estatic! ( overreacting yaa )
This is only an intro so please; Do expect a whole lot more. I came up with the idea with this blog, cause there's so much to say. About this world, this generation, and about us. 
Have you ever asked yourself: Who am I and who am I going to be ? Or: Why can't I see the difference?
Or even: Why?

This is Brilliant Outcast'' and they call me Melske.
Hug the rainbow and call it your friend ;;
