Hello beautiful people of the interweb! [And handsome people]
Well I have not touched my blog in lord knows how long. But in this moment, I feel inspired as heck to write to you all!
So today I was invited by my sister to a fashion show, and at first I was like "this is going to be stupid", or "a waste of my 5 dollars". But honestly it was probably one of the most fun things I have done in a while.
First, to set the stage and paint a picture in your minds. It was held at the Andy Warhol Museum, which is already a really cool place to be! But anyway, I was super impatient, because I have never actually seen Warhol's work up close so that's what I wanted to do IMMEDIATELY...but my butt head sister and our friend wanted to stop and what not haha.
We went downstairs to the basement and there were activities set up. One of which you had a conversation with someone then got a FREE screen printed bandanna [y'all know how I love my free].
The only downside to this part of the event, was that everyone kept sending me to the WRONG place to get my bandanna! And on top of other things that went wrong...everyone there thought I was in HIGH SCHOOL like the other kids! They were like "What grade are you in?" and I'm like "College" hahah.
Even though I was impatient for this part, the girl actually had really cool and deep topics to have a conversation on, so that was a plus!
I finally went to the top of the museum and worked my way down much faster than my sister and our friend. And by the time I reached the bottom THE FOOD WAS BEING SET UP \(-_-)/ I could literally talk about that bomb food all day...but back to the other things.
The band from the high school performed, and I know what you're thinking! "gross, a school band". But no, it was three awesome singers, a guitar player, a box drum player and a bass player! And it was AMAZING! They had really good harmonies and stage presence!
Just to try to quickly wrap this up! I got to make buttons, and infinity scarfs, there was screen printing and other stations with activities!
And the fashion show! Some of those pieces had me thinking that a high schooler could not of made that! The makeup was great and the music was bumping! [yall know I was getting it in the audience though, singing along with no shame haha] Although, there was one draw back...IT WAS HOT AS AFRICA in that audience! Being surrounded by sweating and gross teenagers all standing and dancing was not exactly the best!
But one of the main things that I liked about the crowd, was their style and freedom of expression! Seeing them all dressed so eclectic and different made me remember my high school self/true self and it made me miss myself a little. I never felt so comfortable in a crowd of people that I never met before while in college than in there surrounded by high schoolers nonetheless! Their style and carefree attitude is what I miss most about myself, and hopefully I'll find the courage within myself to be ME again! :)
But I have to go to sleep cause my sister and I are having a movie/ junk food night tomorrow to celebrate getting through midterms and I need my sleep!
Sadly my phone died so I couldn't even take pictures of the fashion show...way to go boost! haha But ill post the other ones later Also, they played Frank Ocean, so you know I was happy!
Peace and love,
Oni.
