Bohemian : In Fashion

Ranked #8,164 in Fashion & Beauty, #141,808 overall

Today to be thought of as in Fashion; well, Bohemian is definitely IN! In fashion.

The proper definition of a Bohemian is a native of the Czech province of Bohemia.  However, in today's language, the term "bohemian" is used to describe a style of fashion which was originally attributed to artists, writers, and disenchanted people of all sorts who wished to live non-traditional lifestyles. 

The secondary meaning for bohemian emerged in 19th century France. Boho is the informal Bohemian and it's now morphed to Foho!

Boho is the more informal, shortened version of Bohemian.  Today, the boho trend has morphed into a new word, "Foho!"  Sienna Miller has popularized this trend. Yes, Bohemian is IN in Fashion! Welcome to everything Bohemian!

Bohemian Tidbits

  • Bohemian, boho as the informal version, is defined in The American College Dictionary as "a person with artistic or intellectual tendencies, who lives and acts with no regard for conventional rules of behavior."
  • Bohemian often is used to describe a certain kind of literary gypsy.
  • A bohemian is simply an artist or writer who, consciously or unconsciously, secedes from conventionality in life and in art.
  • The term reflects the French perception, held since the 15th century, that the gypsies had come from Bohemia.
  • In English, bohemian in this sense was first popularized in William Makepeace Thackeray's novel, Vanity Fair, published in 1848.
  • Bohemia meant any place where you could live and work cheaply, and behave unconventionally; a community of free souls far beyond the pale of respectable society.

Bohemian Music -- Bohemian Rhapsody

My favorite words of Queen's

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see

Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Gogol Bordello

gogol bordello musical mosaic slightly bohemianWelcome ladies and gents to the gypsy punk BOHEMIAN time-out formally known as Gogol Bordello ===> Gogol Bordello IS Bohemian you know? OK, maybe you can't find a Wikipedia article that states "Gogol Bordello" in the examples of Bohemian, but let me tell you ... I know Bohemian ... I know Hungarian ... I know Romanian ... I know Eastern European ... and I know that Gogol Bordello epitomizes all that is good and great about B-O-H-E-M-I-A-N.

You know, it was the Summer of 2010 when I was officially introduced to Gogol Bordello. I really can't imagine or believe that I did not know about Gogol Bordello before this time. Perhaps I did, but you would have to put me out in a deep hypnotic trance to elicit who, what, where, when, why, and how ... to get the journalistic scoop on that. Suffice to say, that one day, a fellow lensmaster from Chicago, Laura Schofield, dropped by my Gypsy lens and mentioned a video I needed to see if I liked Gypsy. And, folks ... that was the beginning of my JOY!

It is pure JOY that I experience each time that I hit that one video in particular, the artsy and colorful, joyfully animated YouTube video of Pala Tute. Ah, not to fret as I have included that herein for you to partake in my joy!

I thank YOU so much for being here and there in this journey through Squidooland and beyond. I thank YOU for being a true and genuine friend. I thank YOU for giving a HOOT about "things" and for taking a moment to have a little joy ... Bohemian style! Hit IT ===>

A Little Bohemian Movie!

The edgy Bohemian Eugene Hutz is a wonderlust king in "Everything is Illuminated!"

Everything Is Illuminated : A Fabulous Movie > Very Bohemian!

Why this movie? Because Eugene Hutz stars in it!

"Who the heck is Eugene Hutz?" you are surely asking! Let me enlighten you. Eugene Hutz is the glue of Gogol Bordello. I think Eugene is quite a remarkable guy. And, I don't throw around "remarkable" every day. He is quite charming in this movie ... hey, who knew he could seriously act? With a charming, engaging style ... he is a focal point.

Everything Is Illuminated

Amazon Price: $4.42 (as of 02/17/2012)Buy Now

What do THEY say about this movie? Based on the critically-acclaimed novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, "Everything is Illuminated" tells the story of a young man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion.

What starts out as a journey to piece together one family's story under absurd circumstances turns into a meaningful journey with a powerful series of revelations -- the importance of remembrance, the perilous nature of secrets, the legacy of the Holocaust, and the meaning of friendship.
