Week 4 BOC: Beautiful Stranger TV

It seems to me that beautiful strangers is a site where professionals in the industry give advice/beauty tips to readers. Although this may be another blog this blog/site is different from a lot I have seen out there. What makes this site special is that it was created by a group of designers, stylists, fashionistas, photographer, graphic designers and much more. They only have one thing that they're set out to do, which is take random strangers from the streets (usually the fashionable and professional) and conduct research. For example, they would gather what information or tips the stranger has and use that within their website, they also try to find out where the stranger got his/her articles of clothing from. Then they incorporate that by using the websites of designers that the stranger talked about getting his/her clothing from. Overall this is a very useful site, if you're looking to go into being a blogger with dreams of fashion and photographer with being sociable in the mix, this is where it starts. 

"BeautifulStranger.TV is a style hub featuring the most fabulous looks from the street (and occasionally backstage at fashion shows). The compelling content, which is raw, edgy and fun, totally unscripted and completely authentic, drives the consumer to shop the looks right off the backs of the best dressed."

BeautifulStranger was created by an Editor and Executive Producer whose combined credits over the past 25 years include: Women's Wear Daily, Real Simple, Glamour and W magazines, Showtime Networks, Inc., Nederlander Television and Film among others.

"Beautiful Stranger style sleuths do their stalking in the most happening 'hoods (in the most fashionable cities)."

Week 2 BOC: Booty Pop

1.What is a booty pop, and what is its significance?  

Booty pops significance is to increase your butt size 3 times yours normal size. It creates sexy curves and appeal to women who want to attract attention to themselves, including men. Looking sexy and curvy is something our generation is more inclined to. It's something that's an acquired taste if you might say. Most men love big butts, and because of that most women want big butts. “Go from FLAT to FAB in just seconds with Booty Pop" (Bootypop.com) 


2.Who spends more $$$ online, men or women?  Proportion? (%, $)

Men tend to spend to spend more on random things. “The survey of 6,250 web shoppers found that men expected to spend an average of $326 versus $284 for women, America Online Inc. said. On a monthly basis, men spend an average of $204, compared with $186 for women.” (http://www.opentechsupport.net/forum/general-news/30799-men-spend-more-than-woman-online.html)  It is a fact that most men do hate shopping, only because they have to get up and go to the mall. The problem is what kind of man goes to the mall these days? They usually just have their wives or girlfriends shop for them. 

3. Who spends more time online, men or women?

Men spend more time on the web because there are more variety for them to buy. “Men research or browse online an average of 31 times a month versus 22 times for women" (http://www.opentechsupport.net/forum/general-news/30799-men-spend-more-than-woman-online.html)   So men do spend more online. Not because they are shopping, but because they have more access to internet when they're at home lounging around, or at work, or playing video games.  

4. What advantage do marketers have for women shopping online than men?

Women tend to be spontaneous and buy more, when men don't really care for anything. They just seem to think that it is something that's not useful to them at all. Researches have more dependability on women because they're more likely to answer research questions because they want more from the store or help from their purchase.
