Fashion of the Ages

1800s Fashion

The long sleeves and train prevented and skin to show which only made the men imagine the body that hid beneath

Men wore the long-tailed coats that gave them a “fit” look and professional without trying so hard

The bodice gave women the look of bountiful, full, and perky breasts with a small waist

 

In the 1800s these hairstyles were considered sexy and approachable

This type of dress was very popular in the 1800s because it gave women a shape that was thought to be wanted by all men

 

 

Women wore the jackets that was thought to bring out their eyes and enhance their shapes

 

1900s Fashion

Women also added the small umbrella with lace trim to make their appearance more dramatic but interesting to the opposite sex (2 seperate style)

Women in this area added the look of hats to enhance the image of a classy lady

Each of these pictures add the same accessory but give off its own individual personality  (1st and 3rd portray one picture but the look in the middle is seperate)

Taken from the 1800s, women in the ‘now’ era like the tight bodice look but unlike in the 1800s, we now enjoy showing off skin

 

 

Skinny jeans add the look of a more bountiful booty and colors that express our flirtatious side.

 

The flashier the heels the sexier we appear to men and the more we stand out from other women

 

Men and women both believe in name brand shoes add a wealthy look and adds to the fashion sense of him or her

 

Men in this era want the “street” look and the “street”-er you look the more attractive you look to the women that are attracted to this hood look

 

My Fashion Sense

My Fashion Sense

 

 

The high heel boots give me the sophisticated feel, it makes me feel like i'm strutting down a runway.

 The black tote is hot because of the look of money, the look of swag.

 Long hair can bring out the facial features and kinda show off your skin tone depending on the color.

This outfit shows off the shape without needing the leggings and half shirts that were hot during the summer.

Same for this outfit, the only thing missing is the tote bag that ads extra confidence and a little more "umph" in your step.

This flatters your arms, makes them look smaller. The heels and the length of the dress makes your legs look longer and shapely.

 

Everything about this outfit is gorgeous, you see this outfit makes Ciara look better than she did when she first came out.

 

The long sway jacket and flowy hair gives off the aurora of grace, thie outfit is graceful.

This outfit is comfortable, but not to the point where you look tacky and snug.

Even though the pants aren't as tight as I would wear this outfit, it still achieves the same goal of being noticed. Outfislike these can make you a trendsetter, especially when you aren't much of a fan about colors.

 

The Common Cold

The common cold which consists of the symptoms; sneezing, coughing, runny nose, may have sore throat. We have the flu shot which prevents us from catching the flu but why isn't there a shot to help fight off the common cold? There are cough medicines, but what if your symptoms don't consist of just a cough or sneezing? You can't mix the medicines that you take for the various symptoms you are experiencing. What if you have a hadache, sore throat, runny nose, sinus congestion, and a cough? You can't mix aspirin with DayQuil, or aspirin with Delsym. So why not invest in a shot that'll  help us fight off the common cold?

Your 20 year old self

If you had the sight of a fortuneteller, and you looked at yourself when you were 20, would you be imprssed or disappointed? If I saw myself in 3 years, I think I would be impressed with the 2013 Dodge Charger I would be driving; the $15.00/hr job I would contain, the condo I maintained, and the 24 year old boyfriend that I had trained.  I would only be disappointed at the the fact that it took me that long to do something in life.

Denzel Washington

 

Denzel Washington was born December 28, 1954, by father Denzel Washington (minister) and mother Lennis "Lynne" Washington (beautician), raised in Mount Vernon, New York. Denzel Washington has made a name for hisself, without going through the pretenses of having a stage name, he told his agent at the time that, "if you were going to be famous then your name is your stage name".

Washington went to Mainland High school, graduating Class of 1971, then attended Fordham University studying journalism. Washington won a scholarship to the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, and later worked with Shakespeare in the Park Ensemble.While he was undergraduate, Denzel Washington acquired training in basketball from Coach P.J. Caresimo. Meanwhile, Washington worked as a counselor at an overnight summer camp named ‘Camp Sloan YMCA’ in Lakeville CT. He took part in a staff talent show that was arranged for the campers. After noticing his talent in the competition, Washington’s colleague suggested him to try his luck in acting. He took his suggestion seriously and joined the Lincoln Center campus to study acting. At the completion of graduation, he was awarded a scholarship to attend the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. After spending a year at the University, Denzel Washington returned to New York to pursue career in acting. Washington's beautiful wife, Pauletta Pearson Washington, and children; John David Washington, Malcolm Washington, Olivia Washington, and Katia Washington.

Washington's breakthrough role was on TV's St Elsewhere with Ed Flanders and Howie Mandel, where Washington played as the nervous Dr Phillip Chandler. After that he was considered a "prestige" Hollywood actor. Washington is mst famous for his roles as Steve Biko in Cry Freedom, the skirt chasing trumpet player in Mo' Better Blues, the impatient civil rights leader Malcolm X, the homophobic attorney who represented Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, First Officer to Gene Hackman in Crimson Tide, Dakota Fanning's bodyguard in Man on Fire, the cop unraveling a hostage situation in Inside Man with Clive Owen, and the time-traveling hero of Deja Vu with Val Kilmer.

He's also directed and producedThe Book of Eli and Antwone Fisher.

Washington is currently working on the movie, Flight, where he plays a pilot that fairly closely lost his license for his being drunk and landing a plane that could've been the death to a plethora of people that was on the plane. Washington's acting career shows the true meaning of the famous cliche, 'dream come true". He proved the myth of the "perfect" actor, as every role he played was different. From the negro soldier in Glory, to the sex obssessed trumpet player in Mo' Better Blues. His career is historic and will never be forgotten for generations to come.

 

 

 

 

Is technology THAT important?

Is technology truly THAT important? They tell students not to have their cellphones out during class, but teachers be texting and on the cpu while administering a test. Substitutes, give you the work that's due at the end of class, then begin to text on their iPhone. Teenagers believe their cellphones contribute a lot to their social and scholar lives. But to what extent is technology THAT important? Parents buy their children these "exclusive" technology, then blame their children for being rebellious and unattentive. If teachers and parents have such a problem with the use of technology by teenagers then why do they crave the same technology. Are teachers and parents hypocrites to their way of teaching and parenting? We're all hypocrtites to a certain degree, but is the technology ruining all of our minds? Is technology THAT important? To whom is technology more important?

Male Female Abuse

Domestic Violence can be deifined as Violence or physical abuse directed toward your spouse or domestic partner; usually violence by men against women. An estimated 1.3 million are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year. Did you know that females between of ages of 20 and 24 years of age are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence. The 30 to 60 percent of perpetrators of intimate partner violence also abuse children in the household. Most of these cases of domestic violence aren't reported to the police. Domestic violence is usually reported by a close or familiar face of the abused that reports it to the police. Police have a greater challenge determining whether the violence was fault of the male or women that is doing the abusing. Although, the majority sides with the man abusing his partner, others tend to believe that domestic violence can be justified within reason. Can Male-Female/ Female-Male Domestice Violence be justified if the explanation is within reason?

Views on election

Watching the Election last night made a difference on my thoughts of political views. While I was having a dep conversation about political views, the electoral map was being revised and leads were being announced. Knowing that I was an President Obama fan it shocked me that North Carolina was leaning Governor Romney, when I participated in the Presidnt Obama Campaign in North Carolina. I made 637 calls and 637 people told me that they were voting President Obama, others that participated in the campaign told that majority of their calls were for President Obama. Others that decided to not answer on who they were voting for made it easier to claim who they were going to vote for.
Looking at the results, I couldn't be nothing but impressed at the results. President Obama who had 237 electoral towered over Governor Romney's measly 206 votes. President Obama had 53,309,487 votes, 50 percent of the United States to Governor Romney's 52,628,611 votes. Though some of the debates were leaning in overnor Romney's favor, Vice President Biden tore down the house in his debate, which made a turning point in the election. When President Obama belittled Governor Romney in the final debate, the entire election waived to President Obama. I'm nothing short than angry at North Carolina for leaning Governor Romney, i'm glad that the rest of the United States had more common sense to vote for the President. But what can you say? They tried.

UnEmployment

The cons of being unemployed and 17 is, they never expect you to be mature enough for anything. My cousin who was employed is seen as mature, confident, and the "perfect" role model. I am seen as the immature, playful, and a push-over.  Tragedies of the young mind.
