Scrunchies
Any user of hair ties unites on one recurring problem: our hair always gets wrapped around and tangled in them, they easily break and almost always get lost. So many individuals in the United States have been accompanied by the small ripple of fabric hugging their wrists, also known as scrunchies.
In the late 80s and early 90s, scrunchies were created by Rommy H. Revson. They were a huge breakthrough invention and remained popular throughout the 90s. However, few individuals continued to use them until 2018, when they reemerged in popular clothing stores like Pacsun and American Eagle.
These small accessories may not seem appealing to some individuals, but to those with medium-to-long hair, they are a pretty impressive invention. Hair ties and elastics cause hair damage and headaches from their persistent tugging. They also become lost and break fairly easily.
Since they have an elastic in them as well, scrunchies keep a solid hold on hair. However, the tube of fabric around it prevents hair from getting tangled in it and creasing. Scrunchies are also decorative, so keeping it on the wrist is in fashion and beneficial.
Stores are selling scrunchies in all colors, fabrics and sizes. Comfort colors and velvet scrunchies have been recent best sellers. Some shops are selling smaller scrunchies to fit the half-up-half-down hairstyle trend of 2017 and 2018. This move allowed both of these trends to advance onto the heads and wrists of the country.
The favorable scrunchie trend continues to stroll into the 2019 year, serving looks on the heads of women and men around the country day by day.
Muralist Sick Fisher
Artwork inspired by the Hispanic culture often contains a unique vibrancy about them. A muralist who goes by the name of Sick Fisher incorporates the vivid decorations of the culture into his own works of art while pulling in his own surrealistic style into the picture.
Fisher pulls everyday items and people from the world and paints bright images of them. His style is extremely spirited, with his palette consisting mainly of the primary and secondary colors. Fisher often uses these colors as a base for his murals, then stipples tints of those colors onto the foundation. This creates depth in the image while vitalizing the image that he is known for.
Fisher’s works appear high in contrast, another element of Hispanic artwork. For his mural in Sebastian, Florida, Fisher painted an illusion of wood paneling in a teal color with painted red and orange frames that simulate photos and works of art.
The artist travels all around the United States and leaves his mark on buildings left and right. In Sebastian, Fisher painted a building that was used as a restaurant and excursion joint. Fisher painted all down the hallways, sweeping the gray concrete walls away with a new coat of his foreign style.
Business owners and individuals everywhere hire Fisher to paint their buildings and houses. Fisher has painted a variety of places, from shoe stores and clubs to houses and patios. From the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast, Fisher has painted over 30 buildings in the past five years. It takes an average of two months for Fisher to finish one of his fanciful works. The time pays off as millions of the population stop and stare at the sight of his mesmerizing works of art.
