This blog post is about all the things that are the same, only slightly different. After reading this you should notice that you are better able to spot differences and have a better eye on diversity.
CSI Miami & CSI Original
These two classic crime solving series are virtually the same in terms of drama, fast paced action, celebrity cameos, and fantastic abilities to be an expert on everything. The main difference is geographical. Obviously one is set in Miami and the other one is in Las Vegas. Even though both cities are in California the cultures are very different. Horatio also seems to have a slightly higher profile than the un-named main character from Vegas. The other difference is Will Smith has a hit song called Miami.
Justin Beaver & Ellen Degeneres
These two top performers may share the same haircut but when you look closely you will find that Justin has a slightly more olive skin tone and Ellen has had a swagger coach for a little while longer, hence her dance moves.
Manicures & Pedicures
Both involve stylish sexy nails, a bubble bath, and radical nail art. The difference is one involves the hands and the other the feet. This can become confusion when thinking about pets, but for humans it is pretty obvi. Mani-comes from the word mannequin meaning hand model and Pedi comes from the word peddi cash which is what is usually used to give a tip to the salon owner. I recommend a daily dose of both!
Boxer Shorts & Tighty Whities
Some say under garments are under garments, but I say boxers and tighty whities are the same same, but different. For example, boxers have a wider leg and tighty whities aren't always white. Sometimes they are grey or brown or blue. In some cases they are bright yellow. On an Urban Man I prefer the classic lines of the y-front. But we all know that underneath a pair of wide leg exco jeans anything can look sexy!
Twins & Dopplegangers
Twins can be deceiving. Sometimes they look totally the same, but sometimes they are an illusion. Mary Kate and Ashley have always freaked me out in this way...note how they are never pictured together? Exactly. Dopplegangers are more like a fake twin, but 2 people can still share the same genetic make up even from across the world.
Frosted Tips & Gel Tips
These two types of style must haves can be confused because of their similarity (they both end with the word 'tips). Note that frosted tips are a total studly way to jazz up your locks (think the pop sensation boy band B44) and gel tips are the only way to keep your fingers looking slender and natural. If you were to pair them together you would probably start getting tips for being so fashion forward! Money, money, money!
Keep your eyes to the ground for these tricky things that can seem deceiving. After all, we are all Urban Women, yet most of you are looking up to me! Same same, but different.
Until next time,
Urban Woman
