» I told you Haylor was fake.
This is probably the once piece on Cambio that I actually do believe. Read it and tell me that Harry’s ship tattoo doesn’t somehow have to do with the compass on Louis Tomlinson’s arm.
Favorite YouTube Videos of the Week: Feb. 11 - Feb. 15
I watch a lot of YouTube, mainly because television has too many commercials and I find that people on the Internet are just plain hilarious and sometimes even helpful. This week’s videos consist of tutorials, ‘Draw My Life’ stories and some that are just plain pointless.
The first video of the week is by the Pixiwoo sisters, Nic and Sam, from their PixiwooMadness channel. These two are known for their effortless makeup tutorials. However, they don’t seem to be experts when it comes to hair. Every Sunday, the girls have instilled the help of their friend Sara to create ‘Super Hair Sundays’. Since YouTube now shows you ‘Recommended’ videos instead of new ones, this one popped up! It caught my eye because it has to do with blow drying your hair and I can never find a good technique. After you watch this video, you’ll want to run to your bathroom and try it.
I decided to the day after I viewed this to try out the tutorial and couldn’t believe how simple it was to blow dry my crazy curly locks. The only extra step I had to take was to run a flat iron through my hair. Here are the results:
The next Youtuber is sort of connected to the creators of the first one. I don’t mean to start a YouTube chain of relations, but my second favorite video of the week is by Joey Graceffa… who has done multiple collaborations with Jim Chapman… who is the younger brother of the Pixiwoo sisters, Nic and Sam.
These ‘Draw My Life’ videos have really become a sensation on YouTube. I first saw them on Sam Pepper’s channel and now, every YouTuber is doing them. Joey’s story, however, really stood out to me because he comes off as a very happy and energetic twenty-one year-old. However, the depiction of his life is quite the opposite and really shows that you can’t ever judge a book by its cover.
There is a Harry Styles impersonator lurking on YouTube. Though his name is Jon, his channel, Simply Spoons, has many videos of him impersonating Harry and even covering One Direction songs. However, some of his videos prove that he is a massive Larry Stylinson shipper. This video is of Jon and his friend Nikki (he plays Louis) going on a date night.
Another YouTuber who ships Harry and Louis to the point where he made a song about it is Joe Birdsong. This week, he posted this video which was basically a review about the doll version of Mr. Tomlinson. Joe’s videos always have some sort of One Direction reference and I find he just knows how to make them funny and so true at the same time.
Everyone thinks that if you’re in the fashion industry, you’re a snob. T by Alexander Wang, however, totally disproved this by featuring comedienne Anjelah Johnson as the infamous Bon Qui Qui for their 2013 Spring campaign.
Those are this week’s YouTube favorites! Let me know if there are any YouTubers I should check out by leaving a comment in the Ask/Contact link.
I just happened to stumble upon this on Sugar Scape’s Twitter. Watch YouTuber Simply Spoons do a hilarious Harry Styles impression with ‘Louis’ filming. Haylor references and One Direction merchandise included.
Happy Birthday to Louis Tomlinson of One Direction!

A Brutally Honest Review of One Direction’s New Album
Last week, iTunes made girls all over swoon, scream and cry when they had a free streaming of One Direction’s new album, “Take Me Home”. Now, the actual product is here.
Though many fans have already downloaded the new album due it being leaked (Liam said he was okay with it!), some have waited for this very day. I have been listening to the new tunes non-stop since the songs were spread through the interweb. However, the more I listen to “Take Me Home”, the more I like “Up All Night” better. And I’m not the only one. A lot of my friends have said the same thing - they don’t like it. Here comes the honesty. Hate me if you wish.
The first single released from the album was “Live While We’re Young” which was perfect because it still had the fun, pop and radio-friendly sound One Direction is known for. Plus, the song has a dirty meaning (you want to tell me it’s not about having a one-night stand?) which to some fans, proved that their new songs are ‘more mature’ than their last. However, this clearly rang true with their latest single, “Little Things”, written by the brilliant Ed Sheeran. It’s an Ed song, alright, and the music video was even different than what the boys have done before. Instead of singing to a person, they’re signing to you ( I think the song is just the five of them singing to each other, but that’s just my sick and twisted mind).
The two Ed Sheeran songs (the other one is “Over Again”) seem to be the only songs on the album that show a different One Direction. “Little Things” is gender-neutral, acoustic and soft spoken. “Over Again” has a little more of a pop sound to it, but still, you can tell it’s an Ed song. Why isn’t he the sixth member, again?
The rest of the album, however, sounds like a very typical manufactured pop record. One Direction said that this one would be different, but it doesn’t seem that way. I’m not saying it’s a bad album. In fact, I love the songs “Rock Me” (also about sex), “They Don’t Know About Us” (totally about Caroline Flack, but if you take out the ‘girl’, it could be about Larry Stylinson), and “I Would” (only because they never talk about a girl, only someone’s ‘boyfriend’.)
What gets me is that One Direction isn’t you typical boyband. They’re sexual, humorous, and don’t even look like your average pop stars. It is true, that over time, boy bands have changed. The Jonas Brothers were all about being clean-cut and true gentlemen. Hanson was about being being yourself and being okay with it. The Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC and even 98 Degrees were about swooning girls with ballads while looking sexy as ever. One Direction? They make girls want to rip off their clothes and have their babies. They don’t sing ballads, they don’t dance and they don’t care what comes out of their mouths.
I thought “Take Me Home” would how much One Direction has grown since they’re last album. I expected more original lyrics, a bit of a rock sound and just an overall change of pace. I understand that they’re genre is pop and they need to cater to their extremely broad age-range of fans but I wanted more of their personalities to show. It’s one of the main reasons why I love One Direction so much.
I think for almost every artist, their first album is their greatest. I only hope in the near future that One Direction’s sound can grow with their fans. Hanson and the Jonas Brothers have mastered this. “Take Me Home” doesn’t sound like “Up All Night”. But, to be brutally honest, “Up All Night” does One Direction more justice.
» The Greatest One Direction Article Ever
‘Gossip Candy’ takes an in-depth, analytical view on the so-called ‘conspiracy’ of Larry Stylinson, aka, the very possible relationship between Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles of One Direction.
As a Larry shipper, I must say that this is probably one of the greatest posts written about their possible relationship. It’s Louis-centric but just proves so much.
» Trying to Cover Up Larry Stylinson, Louis?
Seventeen interviews the one and only Louis Tomlinson of One Direction. The mention of his girlfriend numerous times throughout the piece is making Directioners even more skeptical that Larry Stylinson (the bromance turned maybe romance of Louis and Harry Styles) is indeed real.
I won’t lie, I ship Louis and Harry and have since the day I first fell in love with One Direction. But, then again, celebrities are just like politicians: they tell people what they want to hear… and they lie a lot.
