May's tutorial on taking and editing 2000s looking pictures!

May's tutorial on how to take 2000s looking pics! This is not just for scene and/or emo kids, although ofcourse yall can use this!
Here are a few things you can do to make pictures look like they were taken in the 2000s!


What better way to look 2000s than when you use 2000s technology?


Exemples of things you could take a pic with are: an ipod, or any mp3 player actually, 2000s looking cd players, PS2 controllers (make sure it actually looks like you're playing or believe me, someone will notice!) or xbox controller (if you use older consoles of any type, the vibe might look more 90s but if you manage you can still make it work)


If you can't take a picture next to or with 2000s technology... anything? Well maybe you can take a selfie with a fliphone, or a T Mobile Sidekick (if you have one, lucky you!) or even a Nintendo DS if you've got one of those with the camera! Mirror selfies were also a thing of the (mid?) 2000s if they were taken with an actual camera! Let's also not forget the webcam pictures!

Here's one I took for example:




Special "effects"/ Editing:


One thing that makes almost all pictures look so much more aesthetic/better: putting the flash on! I promise it works almost all of the time, the picture will look more high quality and clearer even though it is the same quality as without! If you think your outfit might not be too great or you'd like to make it look like it was taken with a low quality phone, blur the picture! It could also just look artistic, which works just as good.


As for the editing, Glitter, like edits made on Blingee, turning up the contrast, putting a filter (or a few) that give off a blue hue or darker, add in your FriendProject profile number, or your nickname in a grungy font, or photoshop yourself in front of a cute butterfly background!


The poses and angles!


Taking a picture with only this information might not be enough to make it look as 2000s as you want it to be, so now let's see another thing; the poses and the angles! Especially when you take a selfie, do not understimate the power of the "myspace angle" as you might've heard before, the super high angle from which you take the selfie, in which you could include your whole outfit. I know, out of experience, that the position in which you have to try and stand to get your whole outfit in the picture is very, VERY uncomfortable, but trust me it's worth it!

Here's an example:




Other angles/poses you could use are for example the ones in which you position the camera, phone or whatever you take your pictures with at your feet, put a timer or make someone take the picture for you, in an angle at which your feet will look bigger than your head and your whole outfit will be visible again! This one's hard to explain but here's an example, again from one of my pics because I couldn't find one from someone else: (putting "myspace picture big feet" on google, does in fact, not work)

Shoutouts from most known myspace celebs were a big thing back then, with the name of someone (or their own, partly to prove they aren't catfish) written on their hand or a piece of paper, as well as showing off fake tattoos made with sharpies, or something like "I love you!" on the palm of your head, so standing there showing it, could, somehow be a pose? I guess so... oh well, this is still something that would've been on this list!

There are many more (like for example the ones where your legs look broken as you sit on the floor, or the one where you are showing off your room plastered with posters..) but just know not to just stand there looking lost (unless that's what you're going for), be either VERY dramatic with the poses or super casual, no in betweens or you'll probably look awkward!

Dramatic makeup and hair!

Of course... To keep on being dramatic, because the 2000s very much were, (as every decade, in their own way, but you get what I mean) hair was often in crazy colors and or haircuts! Even if you were neither emo nor scene, celebrities like Christina Aguilera or Kelly Clarkson, to Matt Tuck (that's right!) had highlights in their hair, or just dyed parts of their hair, usually blonde, black or red, but chalk haircolor exists in many colors, so go crazy on that!

See here:

  

Not only that but side ponytails, extensions, crimped hair, face framing bangs, spiky gelled hair etc. Even if you aren't emo or scene, your hair can cover one of your eyes for the picture!

Makeup had to be very visible, especially as a scene kid or emo kid with the overflowing amount of eyeliner, and colorful mascara or anything that you could find to be original and "artsy" really, but also for any other person! Makeup looks that were usual attire were for example: LIPGLOSS, blue, purple, white or eyeshadow, frosty pink lipstick, a lot of mascara, colorful eyeliner, rosy cheeks, or lined lips (darker on the outside) but none of that would be complete without thin eyebrows! Fake tans are also a go-to if you're feeling it!

Now, if you're too scared to use hairchalk or dye your hair, and you aren't too good at makeup, no worries, you've still got other options!

Props and accessories!

Big sunglasses.. yes, even indoors! Rimmed glasses, Colored lenses, "Bug eye" sunglasses, there are many to choose from! Scarves, very unnecessary but pretty cool looking! Hoop earrings were also in! For guys too, jewelry was often worn, for example diamond earrings, shell necklaces, as well as the typical "gangsta wear", you would've guessed it: the dollar sign necklace or chunky golden chains/necklaces. They were ofcourse not first worn during the 2000s, but they were definitely still very much worn then! Other jewelry often worn were silly bands, wristbands, kandi bracelets and necklaces. You can even wear fake piercings!

As for headwear, still many to choose from, like trucker hats, both for guys and girls and anyone who'd like to wear those, bandanas, fedora hats, (do not recommend, 80% of the time you'll look awkward, but you can't know if you're part of the 20% that could rock the look if you don't atleast try, I guess) "baker boy hats" and big huge bows for all my scene beans out there. Belts. BeLtS! A lot, too much, 3 of them, or one big one, just find whatever you have and wear the goddamn belts! Fishnets! Fingerless gloves! They were very much in, and not just for scemo kids!

Not only is it about things you can wear, but also things you can use for the picture, you can look cute while holding a plush toy, (bonus points if you've got a gloomy bear, hello kitty or gir plush!) mysterious while holding a notebook/ diary of some sort or nerdy with your favorite book, but a lot of pictures get much more fun when they are super random, for example like kiki kannibal, just casually holding a lamp in her garden...


Clothing!

Now, this one will be short as I will mainly give you guys links to some articles that talk about 2000s fashion, but here's a thing: If you're going for a very "in your face" kind of style, go fully crazy lol! scene teens get your neon green tights or red ripped skinnies out and wear all of the colors, preps wear your shiniest Playboy logo shirt, goths and emos you better wear your nicest black knee high converse, all of it!! Go f***ing over the top because truly, it was rarely ever over the top in the 2000s! Also, did I mention? Cringe culture is dead, nobody cares if you somehow manage to truly go a little too far! If you're feeling yourself, don't hesitate to show a little skin, (I don't mean totally naked, duh, especially if you're a minor plz no it's usually a very bad idea) ain't nothing wrong with mini skirts or crop tops! (guys, GUYS please wear them too if you feel like it, I promise you a lot of us think that's hot okaythatsall)


Anyway, here's a few articles on the fashion/clothes! Most of these include also accessories etc but you'll find a lot about clothes!


Includes men's clothing too!

https://www.complex.com/style/best-fashion-trends-of-early-2000s/


Yes.. I know.. Buzzfeed.. But oh well, it's still showing the clothes and fashion like we need! There isn't much for guys here, but there is inspo to take from it lol!

https://www.buzzfeed.com/leonoraepstein/forgotten-early-2000s-trends


Now, I know what this one says... apparently all of these trends were"mistakes"... Well who's gonna laugh when 2000s style makes a comeback? Definitely not them, once they look back on this article!

https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty/fashion/g2898/worst-2000s-fashion-trends/


This article includes men's fashion and also includes a link to buy the items! That is, if you've got 35$ to spend on a cap for example... Which I don't, but that's okay, it's got pretty good examples of the fashion!

https://spy.com2000s-fashion-trends-throw-back-style/


And since I couldn't find a good article on 2000s alt fashion, I made a Pinterest board with a few exemples for Scene, Emo, Goth, Mallgoth/Goth, Visual Kei and Cybergoth! There isn't a lot yet, but you'll get the general idea :)

https://www.pinterest.fr/mayskelly/2000s-alt-styles/


I hope you guys like it, and try it! I think I may share my favorite attempts if enough people do it on my instagram story and here, and tumblr as well if anyone participates in this!

Drug Addiction

On this matter, please don’t go off at me, I’ve got my opinion, you’ve got yours, agree to disagree.Taking drugs for the first time, second and sometimes third time are a choice yes, but addiction is a disease and though it depends on who, MANY people who make the decision to try drugs and end up addicted do so because of their demons, their situation in which they feel like nothing will help them through their sadness, some do it because other people pressure them into it, some have become addicted to painkillers they had to take for their health problems etc and some just take really bad decisions, so I am no one to judge you if you’re addicted to drugs, and I believe you are in need of medical help. I will not look down upon someone with a drug addiction who is seeking help, however if you are not trying/wanting to seek help if you can, despite everyone telling you to, I will not accept your choice and will let you live your life but will in no way support you. I have dealt with drug addicts before and do not wish to be friends with any as I have my own demons and can’t deal with other’s demons too. I will however, if I see you are trying to get off them, support you, with all the means that go with it (I know fully about addiction even though mine was not drugs, so I know you will not necessarily recover fast, I know you might relapse, I know it will not be easy), I will encourage you. With this, I ask my friends though I do not rule your lifes, PLEASE stay far away from any drugs. 
Please keep in mind, I am not putting this up for debate, you may add your opinion to it but I am just stating mine and don’t want to fight about this.

'Cause I've broken bones for you, and for you only
I make money but we just can't keep this home
Give me your heart and your hand and we can run!
We can run, we can run baby, run now
We can run baby, run baby, you're my hope

☆ The Stars Peek Through And Between The Clouds ☆
Current mood:  imaginative

We're on the roof of that abandoned asylum tonight. We decided to go there because we love abandoned places and it's pretty creepy, and that sure does suit our aesthetic.
Despite the chilly weather and slight wind, we aren't wearing jackets. A blessing for me since your muscular arms are quite a nice show. Ofcourse I've never told you, but although your tattoos are beautiful and make you hotter than the average guy, they aren't the only interesting thing about your body. As you give me your hand for me to hold while stepping over water and slippy grounds, I almost trip. You laugh and it resonates in the wind and slightly in my head. Your long black hair looks majestic in the wind and I can't help but laugh too while I reach for your hair. It looks soft, and knowing already what I want, you move your hair out of your face to one side so I could reach it easily. Your teeth don't show anymore but you still have a slight smile on your lips. You seem content as I play with your hair. Our hands are still holding and you don't seem to notice, but my heart beats faster by the minute. And I catch a glimpse of your blue eyes, that shine slightly, even in the dark like now. I've taken pictures of them before but nothing could make me as crazy for you as seeing them looking back at me. A gentle breeze roams through the sky and hides the moon behind clouds as I shiver. You notice my shaking and in a gentle gesture you detach your hand from mine to take me in your arms. Maybe you did notice our hands were holding but didn't want to let go? "Are you cold? Is this better, is it alright?" You softly ask me and I whisper that it is much better while your arms hold tighter onto me and I feel your warmth against my body. You're a little taller than me though, so I rest my head against your chest. Your heart seems to beat fast too? You rub my back and I hold you tighter too now, enjoying the moment and completely forgetting about the wind as I only think about you and how much I love you. Truly I don't know if you love me too, but if you do, neither of us has said anything yet. You pull slightly back and I look up to you. Our eyes lock and I admire what I can see of them, oh how I wish I could see them clearly now. But I wouldn't give up this moment for anything in the world. You smile softly at me and I smile too. Your small grin transforms into a sly smile and you keep get closer to me until your eyes drift from mine to my lips a second before our lips touch. I move my hand from your back to your neck and the kiss deepens. Everything around me disappears for a few seconds although I'm sure my brain paints the picture of us kissing on the roof of this abandoned creepy asylum. Nothing has ever felt this real before, and it seems I'm tasting my favorite dessert again after being restricted any sugar for 2 months. Soon enough - too soon - you pull back and we admire each - other's faces. Your eyes sparkle with excitment, joy and surprise. Why are you surprised, was it not obvious I am obsessed with you? You smile brightly and I smile too, and as you pull me back in a hug and kiss my forehead, I feel your heartbeat going just as fast as mine. Shortly after this we sit on the edge of the building looking at the stars, you take my hand and look at me. I look back and hear you whisper just loud enough for me to hear: "I love you." My heart seems to be exploding now, and I don't hesitate a minute to answer that I feel the same as we go in for another kiss under the cloudy sky. The stars peek through and between the clouds just to watch us living our teenage romance.

A New Friend? (N.2 April Lily's Diary)

10/20/2004 - A cloudy evening.


Dear Diary, yesterday, I walked in school, earphones plugged in, wearing my brand new black striped hoodie, sneakers and Bleeding Star shirt, and some black eyeshadow with red, to make for a very dramatically awesome entry. Even though I heard someone yell something at me, but couldn't quite make out what it was. But that wasn't the most awesome thing that happened today! There's a new, cute guy at school! I'm kinda shy so I wouldn't go talking to him but the teacher placed him next to me and he started talking to me and it turns out, he likes the same bands as me! He has some kind of really colorful and happy style but has some kind of bleeding monster on his shirt and spiky belts! It's quite different from everyone else so I love it! So far, he is very kind and I'm quite surprised, he even spoke up when someone bumped into me and laughed when I almost tripped! Oh no! I need to finish my science homework now, I'll tell you more!


11/08/2004 - A Windy Night

Dear Diary, I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, I was quite busy. A lot of things happened these last weeks, and I don't really know how to feel about it all, but I am still very happy. Let me explain it to you. Up until yesterday, me and the cute guy only got closer, I got  his name, number and know where he lives now. His name is Evan, but there is one detail he hadn't told me, but I'll get back to that later. Anyway, we talked a lot in class, and even Lisa noticed me getting closer to him. He has bright blue eyes, and I've honestly tried to keep myself from constantly staring but I just couldn't. He didn't seem to have picked up on it though so it's alright. I kept wanting to be as close to him as I could at all times, so eventually I realized I had a crush on him. Ofcourse me being me would not want todo anything about it, I'd just jump to conclusions every time he did something nice for me. And something of that sort kinda happened. He was busy this weekend he'd told me but he asked me if we could "go to the park on monday? We could goof around and eat icecream". A date you'd say, well, not exactly. I said yes and today was the day. I went to school and saw him in a few classes but he was gone for the last 2 classes. That fact made me excited as I thought of how he may have been putting up some kind of romantic picnic,or maybe looked for something nice to wear. Later, I went to the park. I had put on a nice dress, striped tights and Converse, and had nicely done my makeup. But when I got there, I was introduced by Evan to Izzy. Evan then explained that he was quite scared to tell me and he took his time to get to know me and to be sure... That he could admit he was gay and has a boyfriend... Izzy. Because I would accept him and his boyfriend.But, I guess the good thing is that I now have two new friends instead of one. It was quite a wild day. To think he had skipped the last classes to make out with Izzy. I mean, they are pretty cute together though. I'm just a little taken by surprise, and I'm not sure how to act. Enough for now, I'll keep you updated!

A New Diary. (N.1 April Lily's Diary)

10/15/2004 - A windy and cloudy yet not too cold afternoon.

Dear new diary, I'm April Lily King, I'm 16, and I live with my parents. They're quite rich, and very kind although my mom can be quite intrusive and my dad a little absent most of the time because he loves his job, and his precious car. So, I'd say I'm living quite a good life, except at school. You see, I'm not the one to have lots of friends, except for Lisa, but she has other friends too, while I mostly only have acquaintances, so she's often with them instead of me. I don't mind, although when someone insults me, I'd like someone to have my back, but I can deal with it pretty well on my own anyway. I get bullied a lot but it's never really gotten to me, since I quite like being what they'd call the outcast. Most likely I've been called emo before by my classmates, and even by Lisa, except she didn't mean to hurt me unlike the others. I do have an edgy look, but I'm quite proud to be different from all the others. Lisa usually gets in a lot of fights over people pushing her around for her pink hair, but she doesn't know about how much I get pushed around for my jet black hair with blonde highlights, covering about half of my face. (I'm surprised I haven't turned blind yet, but I just won't cut my hair.) The only time it gets to me is when people criticise my art, which is why only one of the teachers has seen my doodles, along with my mom. I can't trust people about it. Or when I got beaten up, but that only happened once and the boy had anger issues, I've been told. I still don't know why he hated me as much as he did, but he did. I also have a dog called Cinnamon Roll, Cinna for short. I love her the most in the family, and she got her name because she actually looks like a cinnamon roll. She's a daschund (a wiener dog if you prefer) and she's very fat, but healthy. She's a spoiled dog but all she wants is affection and she will eat about anything you'd give her, but don't you DARE touch her precious green carrot toy or she might bite your hand right off. I like music a lot, I love nature and walks around town and in Central Park (Oh yeah, I live in New York!), I like the rain, autumn, the cold and hate the warm, I like complaining although I'm happy, I like my family and my dog and drawing. I don't really like school but my grades are alright. I think that'll be all for now, I'll tell you more about my life some other time!

3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There are secrets in this life
That I can't hide

Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away
Or maybe I'm just blind

Or maybe I'm just blind...
