One of my favorite current styles is the vibrant retro look that’s very popular this year. What’s old is new again and while “retro” used to mainly refer to the pre-70’s era, a search for the keyword now delights those of us who still love the groovy stuff.

I’ve updated my Celebritweet page, but for a quick glance at the tweeting celebs I’ve come across on Twitter the past few weeks, let’s overview! We’ll get the negatives out of the way first. It’s been said by many that Daniel Radcliffe is NOT on Twitter. Anyone claiming to be him is likely a fake. @MileyCyrus IS on Twitter with a Verified Account, and yet, this week alone (more…)

So it’s a Friday night. For some that’s an exciting evening. If I remember correctly, it’s got something to do with getting dressed up, going out and having fun?

If you’ve been on Twitter for any length of time, you’ve probably by now noticed there’s many celebs also enjoying the art of Tweeting. Some use Twitter to promote their current projects, and others use it to simply be social. This is a new trend for sure. A few years ago, mixing, mingling and exchanging 140 characters or less with a well known person online (more…)

Birdies, I see birdies, they’re everywhere! No, thankfully we’re not talking about an Alfred Hitchcock flick and the feathered flock is friend not foe, but they ARE swarming, all over the net. Who’d have guessed back before the internet went all Web 2.0 on us that one of the main mascots of the new technology era and social networking craze would be a bird for (more…)

If you haven’t jumped on the Twitter train yet, then this post will probably not interest you. Then again since quite a few of my recent posts are Twitterish in nature, you may just wanna hit the x now ha!
