HOME TIME!

Wireless was immense! Just that! Loved everything, even being pushed about in the crowd and the not being able to walk after feeling!

End of Year 13 Prom!

 

So we had our end of year prom/ball, whatever you wanna call it. 7 years at FCC and it's all over now :(.  Prom was dead though lol, quite boring if I'm honest. The food was decent but the music was rather appalling. I enjoyed dressing up and getting ready with my friend however.

We were laaate and missed the reception, but I'll call that being fashionably late. I wore a dress from Miss Selfridge, just loved the colours and the hem dip thing. Wore my night walks, which according to my head of year where what won me the best dressed award of the night! Was quite pleased tbh.

Loool Ne-Yo is HENCH!

Kristen Drawing

Grandma's Swag

I got given this poncho when my grandma died last year. I wasn't too keen on it when my mum arrived with it, but recently an appreciation for it has been growing. I like the velvety texture the way it fits, my arms move freely in it, if you what I mean. RIP to my Gogo!

P.S My shoes arrived last week :), they are actually pretty comfy and easy to walk in.

Craneo

I don't know what to make of these drawings. They sort of seem offensive, as if there is a subliminal message being directed by them. The face of the African Bantu woman is one of sadness and sorrow, not celebratory at all. The artist seems to be painting (literally) a sad picture of Africa, the two skulls depict a grim face of Africa; a continent that is dying or going through destruction. Well that's my opinion anyway, although this is somewhat true, it's not something that is applicable to all of Africa. The paintings are shocking, especially if you look beneath the surface of them. What I'm trying to figure out is the direct message that the artist was trying to convey. Are these paintings of empathy or a harsh painting of what is regarded as Africa by the west? The painting I find the most interesting is the third one down, of the monkey, is it a mockery of Africans, as in our 'association' with apes, or is it celebrating Africa as the motherland since we are all said to have derived from there. Either way the paintings are interesting in many different ways, I love art that makes you think and question things.
