Holton Rower

 Okay, so I go on Facebook everyday, several times a day, like most people. Most things I see on my Facebook are from very progressive political pages that I follow. Sometimes, I'll see random posts from my friends, and sometimes, I'll see posts like this one that straight up just make me mad. 

I go to an art school, so I'm very sensitive to the arts. Art is a huge part of everyone's lives, and usually they don't even realize how prevalent it is. 

One of my Facebook friends, who is actually trying to be somewhat famous of whom I refuse to name because I will not give him publicity, made a comment about a video. This guy is trying to be a music artist, so I find it incredibly ignorant for him to make this comment. 

The video is here. 

It's an incredibly mesmerizing video that I actually love to watch over and over again.  David Kaufman made this video about artist Holton Rower who specializes in this kind of art. He's an incredible artist and his works are truly beautiful. People need to be more open minded and accepting of other's work, talent and skills. 

Would my Facebook "friend" like that comment about his music? No. Don't make rude comments about other people's art. To be fair: the video on Facebook was only from about :35 seconds to 1:40, so he may have not realized it's actual art still. This comment just made me angry because just because Rower's art doesn't make sense to him, doesn't mean it won't make sense to anyone else. 

End rant.

Do you think I'm too harsh on this guy? Or do you agree with what he's saying?

Photo Shoot Update

I know I was suppose to have a photo shoot Friday, but it snowed in New York so we had to postpone it. I'll be doing a lot as soon as I get back from Spring Break which ends April 5th! 

Sorry!

Stay tuned!

Hauling It In for Spring

I went on a huge shopping spree today with one of my best friends and spent almost $300!

~~

First, I went to Urban Outfitters. If you've never been there, then I'm telling you now, they're expensive. Especially for a broke college student. We immediately went to the clearance section and even that started at $19.99 for their clothes.
Thankfully I got lucky and found a cute pair of white frilly underwear! Then, we got two amazing disposable cameras that have built in graphics, so when you take a picture and develop it, the graphics show up on the picture! They're so cool.

The undies were $2.99 and each camera was $4.99. Not a bad steal for an expensive store.

Next, we went into Victoria's Secret. I was looking for a good push up bra, but didn't find one that I really would spend almost $40 on.
After I couldn't find one, I decided I need something that at least says Pink on it. I found this super cute dress with "Pink" written on the sides. I love this dress particularly because of the collar. You don't really expect what almost looks like a gym band on it, especially on a cheetah print dress, and it really stood out to me because of that. It's so cute.
And it was only around $32

We then went to Lush! This is only my second time buying from Lush, but I absolutely love it. I'm obsessed already.
I got a toner water for your face called "Breath of Fresh Air."
I used it tonight after washing my face, and it smells so good! I can't wait to see if it helps my skin in any way. Review for that will come in time.
I also got a bubble bar called "Sunny Day." It's yellow and covered in gold sparkles. Now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like it might turn the bath water to a yellow that might look like pee, but we shall see! Lol.

That concludes my shopping day! We also got amazing Macarons from "Woops!" I got lemon poppyseed, peanut butter and rose flavor! They were incredible. I love the taste of macarons, they're so unusual, but good. Box of 6 for $15!

What are some things you plan on buying for the spring? 

Red and Lace

I went to the Danbury mall with other day and got two of the cutest crop tops. On the left is fro Charlotte Russe- I paid like $9 for it. The white one was on clearance at Hollister and I literally only paid like $8. It was a pretty successful shopping day, even though I only got two things. They are super versatile, so there's many different outfits I can make from them. 

Do you like these? What items do you think I should pair them with?

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

So, last night my good friend Alyssa (who has an amazing website that sells amazing clothes that's called Thrift Whore) went to a play at our school's Preforming Arts Center, and let me tell you- it was so amazing. It started with a chorus of the cast beautifully singing, then they start walking around the stage, pick up wooden cane-like sticks and BANG. 

Out of nowhere they banged them against the ground so loud! It scared the shit out of me, but in a good way! Lol. They did what looked like a "Stomp" number mixed with amazing singing. The script itself sounded like the original Shakespeare script, it had all the "doth" ""thou" and stuff like that. The script was hard to follow for the most part, but the amazing acting totally made up for it. Their acting was the only way I really knew what was going on. 

The acting was done by our BFA Senior Acting Group, and it totally shows. They were so into their characters, I almost believed they were the actual characters. They were running on and off stage, jumping around, kneeling on the floor. It was amazing. One of the best plays I've ever seen and it wasn't even a Broadway! The monologues were so gorgeously done, so emotional and so moving. I wish it could have been video taped so everyone could see it. 

Kiss me, I'm not Irish!

I went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade today in New York City! It was so much fun. I forgot how awful but how much I love the bagpipes. Lol. We then went to Dallas BBQ in Times Square and it was amazing. I highly recommend that. Decent prices, bangin' food.

I also love my makeup that I did for St. Patty(:
