We're calling in Bestie and their new song Love Options!
This catchy little ditty came out October 16, 2013 and as of October 29th had 219, 160 views.
It’s BEST to get started:
Ruby: So Bestie is a rather new group, having debuted in
July, actually. This video was nonstop
fun. I really loved their peppy dances and super expressive faces. However, the
clothing got a tad bit out of hand, I must say. There was definitely a little
bit of BUT IT WAS JUST SITTING IN THE COSTUME CLOSET AND WE THOUGHT… and in
some ways, it makes the video really unpredictable and joyful. There was
something very young and fresh about the whole thing, and you gotta love a
great message to boot.

Em: They had a whole bunch of different sets of outfits that
didn’t really go TOGETHER stylistically, but instead allowed them to play
completely different roles in the mv.
For instance, one scene had one girl in a maid’s outfit and the other in
clean, classy clothes, which gave them both characters. On the other hand, there were the dance sequences, where all
the band members had similar outfits that were clearly part of a set. The
pieces were fun though, and there were a few continuations from one set to the
next.

Visual Vaticination Verifier
Short Skirts- Wooooohoooo those skirts got a little short
there! Glad to see that they had on little shorts to maintain some modesty… Now
this could definitely indicate a tendency towards exposing their long legs in
the future and maintaining super sexy lady image, especially since their first
video features a similar use of shorts.
Funky Costumes- Maid costumes? Crazy plaid? I guess this
could work for them but it could also go super wonky. I mean f(x) pulls off the
quirky vibe well and maybe Bestie is headed in the same direction?
Fitted dresses- Back to sexy sexy ladies. They seems to tend
towards really fitted silhouettes, think Sistar, maybe. It gives the impression that they’re mature
ladies with sexy bodies. It would match up with their short skirts, that they
will tend towards body-con clothes and lots of skin.
Simple Styling- Despite the nutty clothing throughout this
video, the styling remained very simple. There was pretty soft hair and simple
makeup, or smokey eyes. All in all by toning down the styling, the video was
less overwhelming. The accessories were plentiful but quite pretty. Maybe the
simplicity of styling will be quite soft and feminine.
.... Looks like:
Adorable meets sassy and sexy for these adventurous fashionistas!

#iamsadthatthereisplaid…. Anyone remember that f(x) video
for Rum pum pum pum? We do (we reviewed it) and it seems like the plaid is here
to stay! (Or at least having a brief reprise) It still seems like an odd choice
to us, but the kpop stylists seem to be really digging it this season.

#dyeingforcoolerhair, we are, aren’t you? I mean everyone in
kpop seems to be going bleach blonde and crazy colors. I mean, TOP went blue
followed by and not to mention Ricky of TeenTop, Lime of Hello Venus and
Dongwoo of infinite. Jonghyun from SHINee went bone white while Key went pink
along with Zelo and GDragon. Purple hair is less common but look, here it is!

#iwasframed with awesome glasses! Cute lenses show up plenty
in kpop (though there can always be more). This is a fairly gender-neutral
trend too—we saw it on Jonghyun in SHINee’s recent MV Everybody as well as
SNSD’s Yuri. Even both of us wear snazzy glasses! (Disclaimer: we are not kpop
stars)

Saving the best for last
Ruby: This video was adorable and just a plain old good
time. There were a ton of different styles in it from big sweaters to little
black dresses to maid costumes! It was very busy and quite sexy with short
skirts and fitted dresses. And on some level I genuinely enjoyed the young,
off-beat and quirky feel they brought to the video. The simple styling and
exaggerated facial expression were just awesome. Even if the clothing wasn’t
completely flattering or even aesthetically appealing it was fun and as it
turned out, very Halloween appropriate.
 |
| Aren't I cute? Damn right I am. |
Em: This was fun, and (perhaps unintentionally) festive. The
outfits were very tight and very short, so in that way pretty typical for a
girl group, but they did seem to be well-thought-out. I’m sure someone had a
LOT of fun with those shoes. None of the
ideas seemed half-done either…the stylists just dove in (especially when it
came to the flannel). Also this song is ridiculously catchy.

DAEBAK!!!!
Bad English, sweet idea.
Casual pink feather dusters…because the best kind of
accessory is the also-useful kind.
