In this edition of Set List Saturday Favorite, I am choosing Fashmates Special. In the post, I discussed what Fashmates is, how Fashmates is defined, and the global community that draws stylists together.
In this post, I thought I would share sample Fashmates sets to get a sense of what I do. If intrigued or interested, consider my Fashmates look book portfolio.
As of January 2021, Friday is dedicated to going live - from iconic songs performed in concert to the feel of a concert via official music video to Roger Taylor's DJ groove.
This post, on the other hand, takes a detour from live performance. In "Some Like It Hot," note Andy Taylor's impressive and electric solo. Learn John Taylor's influence in the song.
Why "Some Like It Hot"? I initially opted for the Roland brand on zZounds as inspired by Roger Taylor's latest Roland intrigue. I couldn't find a close match, so I th0ught I would consider an Andy Taylor solo. In my opinion, Andy never received the credit and honor due to him as a member of Duran Duran.
In this post, I am sharing "Some Like It Hot" from the perspective of the video, Andy Taylor's spotlight, and John Taylor's bass tutorial.
As always,
Play it!

Side note - The Fashmates Special will count as Day 42.
On this Day 43 in the Set List First 100, there is a chance I have shared zZounds drums for beginners to pros some time ago. In the present, though, I will share again out of curiosity.
In 2020, Wednesdays featured a John Taylor Limited Edition series and Roger Taylor detailed favorite musicians with specific songs.
In early 2021, I honored the transfer of presidential power in song.
And now I am changing pace on Set List with fashion specials as a Wednesday theme.
In this launch edition, I am sharing Fashmates.
Fashmates is an intriguing online platform described as a social styling source that also offers a shopping experience. There are three levels of status - Style Spotter, Style Setter, and Style Icon. All are based on the number of sets created and published. I am a Style Icon with well over the requisite 125 sets. If stylists - as all are known by - go pro, they are in an official entrepreneural business. Pro and Pro+ are at the highest level beyond Style Icon. Pro and Pro+ stylists earn commission on anything purchased in their sets. The catch, though, is monthly payment to maintain such ultimate status. I once was a Pro Stylist but that is an entirely different story I am not up for sharing now and perhaps at all.
Fashmates, at its core, is all about creative expression from women's fashion to men's fashion to home fashion and even children's fashion. Designers to choose from are endless and filled with possibilities to use when styling. Google Image Search is a separate feature that delves deeper into what Fashmates already offers...An awesome tool to enhance the stylist experience.
Fashmates is also a global community to like fellow sets, comment on favorite sets, take on contests with a trophy prize if won, and at times send messages. Unique friendships grow and sometimes extend beyond Fashmates...as in onto social media.
Overall, I adore Fashmates because of sharing my personal interests, keeping up with new friends, creating an ongoing portfolio, and listing my title on my resume.

Side note - The February Set List post will count as Day 39.
On this Day 40 in the Set List First 100, I am featuring the most expensive electric guitar brand on zZounds. With expense goes level of professionalism or collector's investment.
With that said,
Consider first the Gibson electric guitar -

The samples featured below will show the most expensive Gibson Custom Electric Guitar being the Les Paul Black Beauty and the most expensive Gibson Exclusive Electric Guitar being the Les Paul Custom VOS.
