When Imitation ISN’T TAKEN as the sincerest form of Flattery…
Oh where or where has creativity gone? Oh where or where can it be?
This is what I’ve been wondering for the past few months. Looking at just about everything is beginning to be such a bore.
Once someone or something becomes popular or successful, everybody who admires them or it begins to duplicate it until it becomes dull.
Have no idea what I’m talking about? Take the POParazzi earrings that the BasketBall Bums…err Wives wore for example. In the next few weeks, every naturalista turned jewelry designer decided to re-create them. And while some did say “inspired by POParazzi’s designs,” they should have said “STRAIGHT JACKED FROM POPARRAZI’S DESIGN!”
Another thing I find completely crazy? When people ask you how you do things, get the answer, do the EXACT same thing, and then never give you credit for it. REALLY? Who does that and why?
Let’s not get it twisted! I’m not trying to hate on anyone’s hustle! I just think we need to get back to becoming authentic and creative. Not only will you feel proud of what you’ve created, but other people will admire you for it as well.
If you feel like you’ve also been bitten by the “JOCKER BUG” remember this: Just because someone steals your style, doesn’t mean they’ll steal your appeal. Why? Because they’re not YOU! People will still gravitate towards you because of what you’ve STARTED. Never let the annoying jockers feel like they’ve stole your soul. Stick to what you love and continue to grow upon it. You’ll thank yourself and so will your admirers.
I usually don’t like to rant, but this just had to be said.
