Now I know I've been harping on about how you all should be online (and you should) and I know I always throw in little warnings to make sure you do it right and give yourself the best profile possible, but what happens when you or your client make a mistake? It can easily happen and sometimes the web isn't a nice a place as one might think. In fact it is probably worst than the real world because people will hide behind their laptops to say things, which I suppose is a down side to technology but anyway I'm going to show you a few epic fails today. By just seeing one or two might save you from doing the same! Some of these may be celebrity orientated but it just goes to show that once it's are out there it's never really forgotten.
First of all we have autocorrect on your phone or laptop. Now sometimes we love autocorrect and well other times we don't. This can be so embarrassing if you are texting a client, your boss or even your mother. With one simple word changed, the whole meaning of the text can be too, so just be sure to always read over messages before you send them. And of course lovely internet users have set up pages like this one: http://www.damnyouautocorrect.com/37735/the-25-best-autocorrects-of-september/ so that we can go on and laugh at other peoples mistakes.
Next is the world of singing, if you are going to put your voice out there then be sure that your are ready for the whole lot of abuse that comes with it! What makes it even better is that those giving out probably can't sing very well at all. In saying that sometimes it's not the singers fault, take Beyonce for example, we all know she can sing. And sing brilliantly at that but when she lip sang in the presence of Barak Obama people went crazy. And then of course there is Taylor Swift, seems like a nice girl and has a few good songs that you can sing along too, that was until the goat came along! If you haven't seen it then please watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfPndEB2ec0 Now I cannot even say Taylor Swift without hearing that musically talented goat in my head. So there you have the perfect example of what other people with the use of technology can do, just watch out for that!
Then of course we have how to dress. This may not apply to you as much but I just want you to realise that first impressions are so important so find colours and shapes that'll suit you. Remember Cheryl Cole wearing those purple trousers in America? Remember Cheryl Cole leaving the X Factor and America? Remember Cheryl Cole going back? Oh ya, that's right you don't remember that because she didn't go back! But I bet you do remember seeing her in every magazine under the 'what was she thinking' column. Now I know that is a drastic example and everyday can't be a great day but I'm just warning you because one day, when you make it you could just find your face on one of these websites: http://likes.com/celebbuzz/celeb-makeup-fails?utm_term=24192613&utm_campaign=ml&pid=100765&utm_source=mylikes&utm_medium=cpc&v=FI23UOuZw_-SDCVhPIIOnLIFUzhk32xIPLl8PEta7F75qWV99kSVOgSfVWMkmvSL7YjXo9gcLwtzevKRUP-duw&page=1 When that happens just fire the stylist!
