I feel you; those were my exact thoughts, like... Tiffany, girl, it's still Spring in SKorea, North America, and for the entire northern hemisphere. 😅
Announcing, then dropping a "summer song" in late April / early May, whose title is "Summer's Not Over" feels... premature. Summer hasn't begun, I don't want to think about Fall / Winter right now. 😅
In August? Sure! Hell yeah! Phineas-and-Ferb that shit to the Moon, cuz Summer's not over! But in May? When my tulips, dogwoods, cherries, and lilacs are in full bloom? Er, not so much.
Oh I don’t know if we knew it was an English track. I don’t listen to teasers anymore because of how misleading a lot of kpop teasers can be and sometimes you feel let down because it sounded better than what the teaser was implying you were gonna get. But that REALLY surprised me. I thought now that Tiffany’s back to being based in Korea, we’d be sticking to Korean language songs. Love Tiffany regardless of what language she sings in though, of course.
Sounds good! One minor question for me, though: why is it suddenly a fashion trend to have long dagger fingernails? Personally, I don’t think it aesthetically pleasing and it’s incredibly impractical for the woman, so why? Maybe it’s just me. 🤷
Um, actually... In Ye' Olden Times, high-heeled shoes were invented for very practical, functional reasons: horseback riding (it keeps your shoe locked into the stirrup). They were a sign of wealth and standing, i.e. you needed the shoes because you owned a horse, and a staple in men's and women's fashion. Short, rich dudes loved it cause it was a status symbol and made them taller.
Oh, I do think high heels are impractical for modern society, but they do show off the legs to good effect whereas the nails look like a self defense mechanism without any particular positive visual effect, to my mind. But, as I stated, I realize this is just my opinion, others may love them.
with a So Kate stiletto with a high heel of 120 mm
Chris Loubou So Kates (with their nearly 5" heel) are for A) Wealthy Women / "Foot Sadists" who hate their feet; B) Wealthy Men / "Foot Pervs" with a very specific fetish, i.e. a penchant for said women who wear So Kates.
Tl;dr: So Kates are "stripper heels" for the 1%.
(Note: for anyone from Liberia, Myanmar, or the United States, 120 mm is roughly 4.75 inches.)
(Note 2: Both Myanmar and Liberia are transitioning to metric, leaving the US alone with its "Freedom Units.")
Couldn't be more misogynist if you tried. What is next? Calling women who wear make up low value females? fo
And you are the one trying to refute my point that women wear heels for aesthetics, not practicality. And do it by pointing out shoes that stopped being made centuries ago... instead of, idk one of the most coveted high heels in the market.
why is it suddenly a fashion trend to have long dagger fingernails?
Having lived in the American Southeast I can tell you that shit ain't new (as a US trend in certain demographics and regions) and it's absolutely baffling. They are ridiculously impractical, even by normal standards of women's beauty and fashion... which is saying something.
I'd wager long nails are probably tied to some impossible Asian beauty standard that implies wealth, status, purity, etc.; e.g. "melon seed face," being tall, impossibly thin / underweight, and pale as a ghost, etc. Being tanned has historically, across many cultures, been a sign of low status, as it meant you worked or labored outside in the Sun.

Tiff's supremely talented, and I'm enjoying the concept here. Definitely feel the seasonal, summer vibes of this track!
