Lady gaga got her septum pierced.

For being a trend setter miss gaga is a little behind on the septum train. When I was in high school getting your septum pierced was like "the super cool thing" to do. Now everywhere you go you see someone with one. I love the look on her, she totally gets away with it, but just to rain on the "OMG LADY GAGA GOT A SEPTUM" parade now teenie boppers are all going to have theirs done. It's going to be an ongoing trend and it's going to get old real fast, just like it did post scene queen days. 

I've had mine since I was 15 years old. I went through it being the cool thing to the 'oh, you still have your septum pierced?" I guess now I'm back on the trendy train thanks to miss gaga. 

I try to not follow trends too much. If I see something that I like then I take hold of it and I don't let it go. I mix everything. One day I'll look like I just rolled out of bed and the next like I just climbed out of a 'hipster' dumpster. I don't put much on labels or calling others out on what they find beautiful. If you think something is beautiful then go for it. Be bold. Be yourself and let others be themselves as well. Just for the love of god don't be a sheep and just do something because you think it's the cool thing to do. Do it because you love it.
