Chictini, Quentini and the Culture of Cool

What do The Burg , Quentin Tarantino movies and new online social networking site Chictinihave in common? Duh. It's the music.

It's been proven time and time again that in order to get aging hipsters such as myself to buy something - an iPod, an iPhone or a movie ticket, you have to make us think we will be upping our cool quotient. And being cool can be equated to a cool soundtrack.

Newly launched shopping site Chictini will allow users to embed music into their profiles using my new and latest obsession SeeqPod.

Chictini itself is a pale copycat of various other fashion-related social networking sites (two of which I work with - ThisNext and StyleMob;however, the music effort ain't half a bad.

I've written so many hastily slapped together profiles I'm sure by now I look like a spambot or a Ghanian email scammer. This way people will know I'm cool simply by my musical choices.

I've had this one in my head for the last 3 days. Also, if you didn't already know by the jelly shoes, spandex leggings and disgusting Cliff Huxtable sweaters, the early nineties are back.
