That Phat Penny's Cameo

So, I bought a cameo brooch at an antique store yesterday, and I love it. There's a cameo trend coming up. I think it's because Victorian style clothing is becoming more popular, and cameo pins, necklaces, and cute, unique finds like the above cameo charm safety pin fit right in with the Victorian style. I love the idea of pairing antique-looking jewelry with modern clothes. Mixing time periods has never been cooler.

This cameo jewelry reminds me of currency. The penny is basically just a round cameo of Lincoln. So currency is hot right now. You hear that Paris Hilton? Something new for you to call "hot."

Unless she's outgrown the whole "That's hot" phrase. I don't necessarily keep up with the latest phrases. Is "phat" really popular right now, or is that just something the truly hip people tell the not-so hip people to say so they prove their not-so-hipness. And "hip" is another one. Does anyone other than the not-so-hip people say that? But I am convinced that "cool" will last forever. It transcends both time and place, and will never fade out. I am forever committed to "cool." I'll be saying "cool" when I am eighty years old. But I'm not particularly fond of "neat." I don't know why, but I don't like it. And "fierce" seems to be very big now when talking about fashion. As in "You look fierce in those jeans." Only I could go from writing (not talking) about cameo jewelry to how hot currency is to the latest pop culture terms.
