Kingsburg Fashion

In my little town there are few people who dare to dress out of the normal clothes they see in the nearest mall. However, there are a few individuals who like to be out of the ordinary, so here they are on my Kingsburg fashion post.

Mery:

My most favorite of all girls. She has such a style and she is like the only other person in Kingsburg that cares about the Oscars or good movies.

Jason:

This boy is way to much. He never cares what people think of him. I say he is a true Indie Kid. Even better, he is listening to Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah, what's not to like?

Oh yeah so the Oscars totally rocked, I will post some Oscar fashion and winner crap and how I was so more right about the winners than Entertainment Weekly sometime this weekend.
