nEW YORK UPDATES {official CORRESPONDENT: aUDREY aLLURE}

bLOOD mANOR Are you excited for Halloween this year? Besides going to the Halloween Parade in the Village in New York City or hanging out with your friends, you can also check out Blood Manor. It is a haunted attraction, which you can visit starting on October 3. Tickets are about $25 for General Admission and $45 for Express Entry Admission. You can pay at the door, but it must be in cash. For more information, you can check out http://www. bloodmanor.com .

I went last year, and it was definitely an amazing experience. I warn you, it is NOT for those who get scared easily.

Those who get frightened easily, you might just get a heart attack by just walking in through the doorway. You walk through this “haunted mansion” by foot.

You won’t have the safety of the car of an amusement park ride. It’s dark and you hear those typical scary noises. However, you will encounter some surprises. You go into themed rooms and walk through passageways. It is intense. Especially, when you don’t really know where you’re going and when it’s going to end. It is for people 14 years of age and up, and since we’re all in college, I’m sure all of you can go.

Union Square Annual Pillow Fight

http://flickr.com/photos/enoh/

http://flickr.com/photos/keenf/

If you already didn’t know, there is a huge pillow fight event that happens every year at Union Square. Hundreds of people bring their pillows and gather at a set time to whack each other with pillows. It usually lasts for about 15-20 minutes. This year it was supposed to take place on September 27 about 6PM. Sadly, it was cancelled this year because of the weather. Nobody wanted to walk home looking like feathered chickens in case some of those pillows break loose in the rain.

Of course it gets a little dangerous if you walked by too closely without a pillow to fight back with. However, it is such an amusing scene to watch. Just think about those nights at home with your friends when you were younger – when you and your friends used to have pillow fights. Multiply that scene by 60, and that’s the Union Square Annual Pillow Fight. People come from all over New York – Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, etc.

If you’d like to participate next year thought, you should join their Facebook page. Just search for NYC Pillow Fight: Union Square. {By: Audrey Allure}

Teen Vogue Rock Meets the Runway

On November 16, 2008 I attended the Teen Vogue Rock Meets the Runway Event. The main purpose of it was mostly for the Battle of the Bands finals featuring girl-leaded bands. The three finalists were Half Demon Doll, Pike, and the Snake Pliskin.

The show started with the three bands performing with commentary & judgements from: Jason Castro – a contestant on American Idol, Steven Van Zandt – musician, songwriter, arranger, record producer, actor, radio DJ, and human rights activist, Leigh

Belz – Teen Vogue Features Director, and Genya Ravan – the reason of the event – one of the first female musicians in rock.

Chanel Iman (supermodel) and Ashley Rickards (actress on One Tree Hill) were the hosts.

Before they announced the winner, a fashion show was presented. There were looks from Akademiks, Dollhouse, and Fox. Afterwards, go-go girl dancers came out to perform & one of the publishers gave out raffle prizes. Half Demon Doll was then claimed the winner of the Battle

of the Bands. Half Demon Doll was the youngest band out of all the bands entered in the competition, having the members being about 14 and 15 years old.

After the event was over, guests were allowed to get free makeovers from MAC and complimentary caricatures. Everyone walked home with little Teen Vogue giftbags. {Text & Photos by: Audrey Allure}

Milan UPDATES {official CORRESPONDENT: adriana escarini}

DARLING IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! On Friday, October 10 was English DJ Natasha Slater’s birthday celebration in Milano.

The party took place in a room that usually serves for design business purposes, owned by Daniela, the sister of the honoree.

From 9 pm the targeted guests that the creator of “Punks Wear Prada” had chosen by sending a sympathetic mail via Facebook, started to arrive.

Via Tortona had become a gateway for people dressed as required, to the best Manhattan style of the 60s (anyone remember the wild celebration of the film Breakfast at Tiffany?, exactly like that).

Aaron Prada and Natasha were responsible for the music in the room dressed for the occasion with candles in the form of candy. Instead of a cake the center piece in the table was muffin and to keep the champagne cool a great fountain of steel.

Upon arriving the morning, after the latest songs, guests who stayed until the end and Natasha went to the party that the PR Marcelo Burlon organized in a close nightclub.

Chin Chin and to the next party!.

On the next page you’ll see all the exclusive photos of the event.

Fashion. Concept as volatile as tax. So ephemeral. So present.

So past.

According to the Royal Spanish Academy: “Use, custom or mode that is on the rise for some time, or in a particular country, specializing in costumes, fabrics and ornaments, especially the newly introduced.”

Today, I’m going to try to make an introduction of what will be this section, offering some guidelines about the way in which I face the complex world of fashion. Yes, I face with my camera and my subjectivity and what I’m going to portray in these pages.

Fashion is, in my opinion, something that never stays but always leaves traces of what it was, through difficult to forget faces, clothes being sought in the Grandmother of the closet, accessories that will shake and become use of songs that never forgot, elements of which would not have fallen into disuse. Because fashion is that it is every accessory or changing our part to bar a model, an icon. What we accept, what we imitate and, often, as we raise our own icons, losing sight of who was our mentor without even knowing it. That’s fashion. Is to observe, imitate, or at least try to imagine and create, we create our own image based on what each chooses within the world of fashion. Browse through magazines, watching television or simply sit on the subway and watch the people go by, observe, take a look expectantly to achieve capture those icons that are not attending the gala celebrations or events and encourages us to create, maybe copy, perhaps inventing. That is what I want: show fashion that is hidden, that is traveling in buses running from Monday to Friday at the university, that it stands silent, subtle, imposing and original, fashion that is not yet fashionable but, sure , is going to be.

Cómo quieres que te quiera Como quieres que te quiera is a brand that was born just four years ago but which, nevertheless, imposed in the feminine world, through its characteristic embossed romantic, its pastel colors and creativity embodied in each garment.

It currently has twenty-eight local spread over different points of Argentina: Gran Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Salta, Cordoba, Santa Fe, La Pampa, Neuquen, Mendoza and Tucuman.

lors Como quieres que te quiera, starts a new season that promises to reach full of cheerful prints and unique, fresh and renewed garments, targeted at teenagers seeking a current and cutting-edge style with a romantic look.

Manuela Grillo -representative of the brand- said about the new season spring-verano09: - Inspiration: “It arises mainly in the vanguard of the 50’s, through the clothes and waist high in the 70’s, with wide pants and fabrics.”

- Color: “Shades of green, blue, pink, gray, red, mustard and a base of black and white. “ - Textures: “The denim is present in many garments, with different finishes, washes and tears.”

- Turn fetish: “The baloon dresses and wide pants.”

- Accessories: “Hairbands with flowers and monkeys, necklaces, belts, wallets and ballerina. The sandals for the evening of metallic leather. “

Interview with Nancy & Lee Jones, owners and writers of THE FASHION PRESS (http://www.thefashionpress.org).

These two sisters from Canada were amazed by the fact that in their country there wasn’t fashion reviews on the local press so they decided to create their own one: VINYL RIOT MAGAZINE. I talked to them about their fashion blog that made all happened.

1.

Why did you decided to start a blog?. My sister (Nancy) and I noticed that there was a lack of fashion press about things going around in our city.

After looking around we were amazed that the capital of Canada, Ottawa, didn’t have any major fashion magazines of newspapers. We wanted to try to fill this void and also connect people with other major blogs and fashions that are happening around the world.

2.

How did you come up with the name? The name derives from the very thing we thought Ottawa was missing, a fashion press.

3.

How do you choose the people you are going to interview and present on your blog?. We choose people who present their own unique style. Not in a pretentious sense but rather in a way that presents their personality. Anyone who is inventive or experimental with their style is perfect.

4.

Who are your fashion references and icons?. Inspiration for us can come from anywhere but some definite tastemakers we love are Lou Doillon and Suzie Bubble.

5.

How would you describe your personal style? Lee : geek chic. I tend

Lee Jones

to go for the large thick rimmed glasses and the shiny spandex. Nancy: classic with a twist. I tend to go for the baggy tops with a hint of class.

6.

Which is your favorite designer?

We have so many. I (Lee) remember walking around one day when I was going to school in Florence, Italy, and as I went into the original MiuMiu location I saw a wall of beautiful glittering shoes. I had never seen such beautiful design and immediately decided that when I had a “real� job, I would pick up a pair of those first thing. That moment had a great impact on how I view design and therefore MiuMiu is one of my favourite lines.

Other favourites include Luella, Comme les Garcons, and Marc Jacobs.

7.

Are you interested in working in the fashion industry?. Nancy and I both love photography and fashion. Nancy seems the more likely to pursue photography as a career for she is a more hands-on type of genius. As for me, going into fashion journalism or writing is, at the moment, what I would like to go into as a career.

8.

With whom would you like to work with?. Anyone with an open mind.

9.

What advice would you give to someone that is planning on creating a blog just like yours?. When starting a webpage, make it personal and different.

There are so many people with blogs recently that you have to try to do something no one has done before. For us it was trying to fill the fashion void called Ottawa and to display all the other amazing blogs out there, for you it could be doing something totally out of the blue, whatever it is, make sure it belongs to you and is something no one else has.

Makeup Hello friends of Fringe Magazine!

How are you? How it was your first practice with makeup?

Before we begin, I would like to give a brief overview of what we said in the previous article. We said that ... . Before any treatment or make-up was essential hygiene. . To disguise, we used bases or rubores dark. . To emphasize, we used bases or rubores clear.

In this article I will be teaching the makeup and colors that are in fashion this season (spring-summer 08/09).

If you like your makeup to shine, this is an opportunity for you.

The skin should be perfect, shiny and tanned. The cheeks have to be illuminated in the NAIF style (which is the style used in shows for teenagers). Care with your eyes! This is a strong point for this season. Are seeing strong colors, bright, intense, smoked.

But be careful with colorful makeup, we must combine with the wearing apparel.

If you are, or you consider yourself sexy, and if you like the style “feline�, this is for you. This look comes from previous seasons.

It is ideal for use both at night and during the day. A look that remains to be fashionable.

Another boom of the season, is the black shadow. Ideal for a look at night. It can be used alone or combined with other colors such

session as blue, violet.

The shadows or shiny metal, are a good style for the night. While it may draw the attention of the majority, these shadows can also be used to illuminate a look of the day.

INTERVIEW by Adriana Escarini

Ilaria Bramato, flickr.com/sparacina What happens when you board music, film and photography as a means of expression? You’ll find Ilaria, who started with a Lomo game camera and ended in a natural, everyday working with major bands.

What photographers inspire you?

I love Diane Arbus and William Klein, but I have a bunch of talented friends who inspire me and teach me every day. My greatest teacher was always my brother. Love in general is the engine of my photographs.

What is the photo service that you like better?

Each period and each photo represent wonderful moments, I don’t have a beautiful picture in particular, depends on what you feel at that time. The portraits excite me.

What artist would you like to photograph?

Spike Lee. What machines do you use to do the portraits?

I like to experiment, develop and print in hand with all of my non-digital machines.

What difference you see between taking a picture behind a video, a concert or on the street?

Situations are different but all beautiful ... what really matters to me is fun.

What do you expect from people when you see your work?

Constructive criticism.

Then a portfolio with some of her best pictures. We can find Adam Green, which Ilaria defined as an incredible person and with which binds a relationship of friendship, or the journalist from Rolling Stone Italy, which she considers a teacher, Fabio de Luca; passing by the members of MGMT, Wombats, Shit Disco or Rooney.

INTERVIEW by Adriana Escarini

Lele & Serena, www.ithoughtiwasalone.com How ITIWA was born?

LELE: When I returned to Italy after having known the world beyond the Alps (I lived in London for 7 years, with a small scale in New York), I realized the lack of interest in the Italian market in relation to the new and fresh generations of photographers. I intended to create something to show what was happening. The meeting with Serena was decisive, who with her energy and ability to search online, made me understand that the thing might actually come about.

SERENA: ITIWA complies with the requirement of a space for the new generation of photographers. But also wants to be a source of inspiration for those who today began to do photography and want to know in which direction things are going. We do a lot of searching and trying to enlarge ever more the kind of photographic work on the site. For example we are trying to develop mostly section reporting.

How many photographers work with the site?

LELE: For now 35. We add at least one per week, but our intention would be to limit the amount of work and focusing on the photographers who are already on the site.

SERENA: The desire to concentrate on the photographers who already are working with us is born of the desire to grow together, them as photographers

and we as curators, we are almost all friends, for long or we did through the site and in the same vein we help us, we measure us, advise and exchange data. We could talk about ITIWA as a true and proper Network. We do not want to be just a blank wall on the Web full of many things.

In addition to the site, what other activities performed ITIWA? We have printed our first fanzine of photos in July and we are working on a second. On the occasion of the launch of the zine we have cured a teacher in London and from there two other small exhibitions. Last month we did two shirts in a limited edition to 15, in collaboration with VNGRD with photos of two artists on the site, Carlotta Manaigo and Stefan Simikich. While the first zine was a sort of introduction to the project, we are now working on something more homogenous, very slowly because we want to make steps forward from the viewpoint of “curators�. We want the next zine to be a single story told by many voices.

What are the next projects?

New zine produced in a manner always better, new photographers, new samples. The rest will be seen.

T-SHIRT LIMITED EDITION

ITIWA also has a myspace where you can submit your work and photo sessions, in addition to being able to buy their first fanzine with a set of the best images from your website and their limited-edition T-shirts.

Robert Schwartzman is thanked for his collaboration with the article.

One day in studio with Rooney After completing the U.S. tour with The Bridge and Locksley, Rooney is preparing to make the 3 CD. Rooney was born in 1999 as Ed Rooney, and from the original line we have singer Robert Schwartzman, guitarist Taylor Locke and bassist Matt Winter.

In 2000, drummer Teddy Briggs was replaced by Ned Brower, the guitarist Matt Star left the group and entered the pianist Louie Stephens. With the current line-up and changing the name to Rooney, in 2002 signed a contract with Geffen Records.

In 2004, is on the market “Rooney” and one of the songs, Blueside, is part of a movie The Princess Diaries soundtrack, starring the actress Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada) and Robert himself. They also make a brief appearance Ned and Taylor. The success of this album takes them to touring with bands like The Strokes. The experience of the last show in Los Angeles can be seen in the documentary “Spit and Sweat.”

It took 3 years and 3 CDs so that

in 2007 the second cd, “Calling The World”, is put into circulation. It had a great reception, especially in Europe.

In contemporary, members of Rooney participated in the CDs of Ben Lee Ripe and Nighttiming of Coconut Records, among other contributions.

As these photos show, made by Tyler Cheser and sent by the frontman, Robert Schwartzman, the group is already into a recording studio in California.

Again under the orders of the producer John Fields, 6 tracks are ready and they believe it’s possibile to see the latest work of the band in 2009. {Adriana Escarini}

“Delicatessen” and “The City of Lost Children” of Jean Pierre Jeunet y Marc Caro Both in Delicatessen and in The City of Lost Children, do not make specific reference to the time or the place in which they thrive.

From the beginning, it is clear that the intention is not to build realistic, but through the scenery and characterization of the characters, often something grotesque, which is to create environments with aura fantastic.

In Delicatessen, one can deduce that this is a post-war period, through the scenery and costumes. There are 2 sets: the exterior and interior of the building that inhabit the characters.

The exterior, is polluted by an opaque haze that creates poor visibility, and a yellowish sky. The old building in which the characters inhabit is surrounded by submerged ruins lost amid the fog, and also the outer walls of the old building are worn and shows that it have been bombed.

This causes a sense of a ghostly atmosphere, desolate, abandoned, and that clearly could represent the remnants of a war.

The owner of the building is a butcher who has his business on the ground floor. There is a very bright light, and remains the pale yellow as well as abroad, but that is not present in the rest of the rooms inside the building. The fact that it is the only sector of the building that is connected with the outside world justifies the use of yellow, which further accentuate the coldness of the place.

What is highlighted is the white apron of the butcher, the glow of knives that edges, and the balance, creating a cold environment that has nothing to do with carnage.

On the other hand clothing, the decor inside the departments, artifacts, including the type of televisions that show, bed springs, car, the balance of the carnage, are typical of the 20s.

One element of interior decoration of the building that I would emphasize, is the system of heating, as communicated to all departments of the characters, through

the sound that travels through it (eg. The sound of the edge butcher’s knife, the springs of the bed, etc.). It is an element that dramatically affects the fabric of the film, even at times the camera moves through this to communicate the situations of different characters.

The case of the movie The City of Lost Children can be associated through the scenery and costumes for a future climate with dark, dirty, and wet. There are 2 scenarios: the port city and the platform on which inhabits marine scientist Krank.

The streets of the city with a little enlightenment, is never clear if it is dawn or dusk. The surrounds and passes through a contaminated water, and along with mild lighting, generate a sense of a dark, damp environment. The city is made up of narrow streets, brick walls wet metal stairs going up and down to the water to escape and reported that the accommodation, and an infinite network of electricity cables. On the other

marine platform is a metal building, whose interior is decorated in elegant way. There, the scientist Krank experiments leading to steal the dreams of young children, for this reason the interior is filled with futuristic electronic devices.

The characterization of the character also generates the viewer feel that this is a fantastic story. Krank, is a scientist aged prematurely as it can not dream, and to counter his ageing he abducted children in the port city and leading to its marine platform, to steal their dreams. But such is the terror of children who only robs them their nightmares. With the help of a group of followers truly monstrous: 5 clones jovial; brain without a body, a dwarf with bulging eyes and a sect called the Cyclops, who were abducted children.

These Cyclops carry a kind of “monocular� that allows them to see hidden places, where children could hide.

new section: sights and places that you can not fail to visit in Buenos Aires This section grew by a restlessness, a bewilderment, a surprise, a necessity.

Since I was a girl I was a frequent visitor to museums, exhibitions, fairs, and always caught my attention ignorance on the part of many people, the existence of such places, mostly free, where you can enjoy a wonderful time, while learning more about the history of Argentina, or you can enjoy a picturesque play or simply strolling through different fairs and hippies roam outdoors.

On the other hand, I noticed, too, that these sites, although hardly be visited by Argentines, if you had a large amount of foreign competition. At this point the need arises, the requirement to disclose this kind of places or events to the Argentines, and to continue promoting and increasing the foreign interest to them.

Unique places in the world, worked at the international level, in some cases, not at the national level, unknown to many places but nevertheless, claiming their importance, places that call loudly tell a story. {Candela Durzo}

Chronicle of a tour: Recoleta Cemetery “The only thing I want for my funeral is not being buried alive.�

Lord Chesterfield The bus of the seventeen line, after an hour’s journey, arrives at the station. After a voyage between the posts from the hippie fair is spread along my path, managed to reach. That is, there it is, as always: the cemetery in the north, also called Recoleta Cemetery.

Up to the scene around the half past four p.m., the sun caressed the neighborhood of Recoleta and reminded us that summer is approaching.

I came determined to miss among the endless corridors and the vaults silent, and I did, but this time would witness: my camera would accompany me, as well as would my memory hungry for recounting what I lived.

Walk and I remembered that old stories in that first visit with my mom, I had a historian, I figured others, and some I assumed. Incredible stories, real and eternal embodied in any book from any publisher of any country, remembered only for a brief epitaph lies engraved on the countless vaults, drawers or on the side of any photo.

LOOK AT THE TIME We are in Buenos Aires and the current year is 1820, Martin Rodriguez is our president and decides, along with Bernardino Rivadavia, one of his ministers, to begin the construction of the North Cemetery. Two years later, the site is opened, while establishing the possibility that there are rested solely Catholics. It will be in 1863 when it permitted the rest of souls who in life have been practicing a different religion.

My path is different from that chosen by tourists, I prefer to miss the solitude of the cemetery and not among the crowd. I choose, then, the paths more deserts generally avoided by most people, perhaps because the vaults that are there are have no chairs or belonged to ordinary people, or perhaps because they arise sense of insecurity, fear or discomfort of found in front of the empty bodies that lie there. Probably sounds strange but I do not have that feeling, quite the contrary, the cemetery, their passages, the calmness, the art displayed in every monument, it transmits a unique and indescribable peace, force me to travel alone, to always know in a way different and never fail to visit.

It is a privilege to go inside to music sound that is born on the outskirts of the walls that generates a special atmosphere and encourages my walk.

The vaults, each one different, unique, some with a thorough job and spectacular, worthy of a work of art, others more simple but which can be read epitaphs that tell us a little more about those who today, find the eternal rest.

Thousands of stories found a space between the solid walls of the cemetery, thousands of hidden vaults and shelter to those who were and are no longer, monuments remind feats, victories, faces, scenes. Inevitably appoint one of many such stories, only some, a small sample of what there is to know.

One of the most impressive occured on May 31, 1902, the day when a beautiful young woman named Rufina Cambaceres-daughter of the famous Argentine writer-fulfilled nineteen years. The girl was found dead in her room, a while before leaving to the theater Colon, the body was discovered by the maid and death confirmed by a doctor. The body was buried in the Recoleta Cementery. However, the next day it is discovered that the drawer was broken and scratched, the girl was alive, she have suffered catalepsy, and had tried to escape but when she discovered that was inside the vault, died of a heart attack.

It was said then that Rufina was “the girl who died twice.� In the vault it can be seen the statue of the adolescent, with her hand resting on the latch of the door, trying to get out, trying to come back to life.

Other highlights vaults to keep their doors between the bodies of celebrities. We can point between them, the vault of the Duarte family,

which is the most-visited since it rests the remains of Eva, wife of ex-president Domingo Peron, the vault of the family-Leloir where he is resting his body Federico Leloir, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1970 and, finally, I would appoint the vault where lie the remains of who was governor of Buenos Aires, Juan Lavalle (1797-1841), which is considered one of the most guarded since at the entrance remained motionless a trooper.

Countless are the stories, many experiences, some unknown end, but free and ready to be heard in the silence of the cemetery, which today the souls find peace between monuments, pigeons, cats, and foreign visitors.

Epitaphs, vaults, monuments, statues, faces, stories, love, heroism, politics, science, family, everything is combined in the precise and almost perfect Recoleta Cementery. Everything fits perfectly into the puzzle of the Argentine history, which tells us, in silence, a past, often unknown.

My trek extends for a couple of hours, the silence disturbers me. However, I continue my quiet visit.

A policeman approached me and tells me that for forty-five minutes the cemetery was closed. What I look baffled and I apologize for not having paid attention to the rumble of the bells that had indicated the departure time. We talked along the way toward the door and tell him about the purpose of my visit, we bid farewell with a salute and again I apologize for being so distracted. It’s incredible how sometimes you can lose track of time ... I thought to quit, as well as can be so careless.

Before I left, he launched a last glance towards the cemetery, I look at it, promising that very soon we’re going to see again.

Would you?

Who ever dreamed of studying abroad?. Milagros Mabres, a 20 year old girl from Argentina, spoke with FRINGE and told her experience.

1. How did you took the decision to go study abroad?

Actually I always wanted to come and study outside. Not so much for the career itself, but for the experience. When I decided I wanted to study theater the decision was easier because England is an ideal place for it. Here there is a lot more choices in terms of university programs and the variety of shows is really impressive.

2. Did you choose the place first or college? In what base did you make that decision?

I chose the university first, but the place is also important when choosing a college.

Leeds is a great city, full of students and with great nightlife. I took the decision as to the program, it is best to always see if that is what one expects and if it is oriented to where you want. For example, in theater, some programs are more oriented to the practical and others to theoretical. I chose Leeds because it has a very good balance between the both. I also came to see the university before coming to England and accept the offer and I loved both the university and the city.

3. How long have you live in Leeds?. Was it difficult to adapt at first?.

I’m at Leeds since September 2007, a little over a year. It was not so difficult to adapt.

At the beginning it was a little lost as a move in between a city and do not know how to make friends, but the university is very well organized so that one can adapt quickly.

They have a program for international stu-

dents that lasts a week before the start of classes, where there are lots of activities so that you can meet people and talks to help students, for example, how to open a bank account or where to buy certain things in the city.

4. As for the language, find some difficulty?

Not much. It was nothing more than to get used to some expressions they use here in England, but I learned quickly. I also think it was easier for me because I came directly after finishing school, then I didn’t miss the language, but what I had I’ve improved.

5. What do you miss most from your country?.

People. Here in England everyone is very friendly and always ready to help in anything you need, but the gap with the Argentine and South Americans in general, is very big.

The British are much colder and kept away, while we are more emotional and we love to embrace and give us kisses when we greet.

I think it’s that sort of things that makes me feel more distant from my country.

6. Are you planning a return or form your life abroad?

I do not know. I still have almost two years to think about it. England is great for working in the environment of the theater, but at the same time I do not know if I could live here all my life. It is most likely to work here for a while, but Argentina will always be my country and I believe that sooner or later I will go back there.

7. Finally, what advice would you give to someone who is about to take the big step of going to another country to conduct their studies?

Do so without hesitation. Studying outside is a great life experience. I learned to be more independent and to fully handle alone. Even if you are not sure of making the whole ca-

reer, you always can make exchanges, and the idea of studying outside does not mean that one is not going to go back to their country anymore. I think it’s a big step but really worth it. {Text: Molly Gray} {Photos: Milagros Mabres}

Is Confidence Only Skin Deep?

Is it a myth that women are never happy with their bodies? During work experience in London at UK tabloid Sunday Mirror, I compiled 3000 questionnaires from women as part of an upcoming beauty survey.

It helped me understand why British females are so insecure.

The main thing these women feared was the aging process. Anyone from 17 to 90 wrote in begging for wrinkle free skin.

Some women loathed everything about themselves. From stretch marks to spots, lifeless hair, pale skin and dreaded cellulite. Many knew that they are damaging their confidence and self esteem worrying about these things, but where does such self-loathing come from? The media is always blamed.

But do gossip magazines and websites that openly allow us to criticise the appearance of celebrities influence us? This journalist think that the press is not the sole cause for dissatisfaction and insecurity.

Whilst browsing on popular celebrity gossip website Dlisted.com, I stumbled across an advert for The Skinny Website. After being bombarded with photographs of scarily thin celebrities I looked at the comments section. ‘Her legs are gross’, ‘she’s fat and boring’, ‘fat and flab’, some ruthless remarks by blogger Zoey, aimed at American actress Mary-Kate Olsen. Mary-Kate was previously admitted to hospital for Ano-

rexia. Maybe the comments under her photograph would be less vicious if known. At her lowest weight she was praised by skinE, another blogger, ‘I like her better anorexic’, ‘she looked much better thinner’. I wondered how these girls and women could be so callous towards somebody they’ve never met, if this is how celebrities are viewed, it’s no wonder that we seem uncomfortable in our own skin.

Threat of competition from the beautiful people makes women doubt themselves, we feel pressurized to have great hair, be thin, and be cellulite free. That’s where happiness lies, apparently.

Lack of self-confidence could stem from childhood or something unsettling in their life.

It is not hard to pick faults when you see airbrushed image, after airbrushed image of the rich and famous, but that is precisely what they are, airbrushed. Photographs are retouched, every wrinkle and imperfection is erased or softened and it does not reflect reality. No celebrity will emulate their airbrushed self in real life.

There is too much pressure on girls and women to conform to society’s idea of beauty.

Because it is unachievable, girls grow up unhappy with themselves. Airbrushing needs to take a step back and women need to learn to be confident and love who they really are, I know I’ll try from now on because life is too short to worry about my appearance.
