The many shades of pink, blue, and green. I wish that’s what my wardrobe consisted of, instead of grey, black and white.

Between the 3 contributors to this blog… I, the Banana, have been doing some major SLACKING! I apologize for this. Dear Cantaloupe and Elephant, I will post some good reads soon (within the next couple days). For now, here is some more street art that has caught my eye. I found these particular ones off a website called Art of Graffiti. Enjoy!
I have an obsession… and I want to tell you all about it =)
They call themselves 2NE1 (pronounced like the number 21) and they are… for lack of better terms… the BOMB DIGGITY! They are a South Korean-girl-group based under YG Entertainment. I understand that not everyone can get into international music where you don’t always understand what is being sung. That aside, I think everyone who loves songs that make them want to dance like fools should try these girls out! Their style is fire, their personalities seem fun, and their music is HOT. I would trade places with any of them any day. I love everything about these girls. They’ve definitely inspired any style changes I might be going through.
Brief bios of the girls that make up 2NE1:
CL

Stage Name: CL
Position: Leader, Lead Rapper, Vocalist
D.O.B.: February 26, 1991
CL, leader of the group, has a stage presence like no other. She’s a very talented singer, rapper, and dancer and has great charisma. Her father was an educator who traveled around the world so she is fluent in English, Korean, Japanese, and French.

D.O.B.: November 12, 1984
Dara was born in Busan, Korea but moved to the Philippines with her family when she was young. She was a big star there and is fluent in both Tagalog and Korean. Dara was the most controversial member of 2NE1 because of a mildly racy photoshoot she did that was featured in a Filipino men’s magazine.
Minzy

D.O.B.: January 18, 1994
Minzy is the youngest member of of the group. She is the granddaughter of one of Korea’s most famous dancers, Gong Ok Jin. Minzy is a kick-ass dancer and is fluent in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese (and she’s only 16!).
IN CONCLUSION, these girls rock my socks! 2NE1! a go, go, go!~ (Yeah I’m a bit of an enthusiast.)
Here is their most recent music video for their hit single ” 날 따라 해봐요 (Try to Follow Me)”
I love street art! Especially in the form of Graffiti. Here and there, during my internet escapades, I’ll come across beautiful things that make me say “WOW”. If I happen to find graffiti that causes me to make such an exclamation (or anything similar), I’ll share =)
