FIVE

Day Five is my second to last day of alternative fashion, and one of the best. It was most certainly goth, and luckily everyone I spoke to was able to identify that.

I wasn't that out of place though, in the midst of a friend's Mad Hatter's Tea Party. I spent the day speaking to smart and/or interesting people, and interviewed most of them, as well as other miscellaneous park-goers in Botanical Gardens.

1) A little girl told me that if she had to give me a rating out of ten, she would give me a five.

2) A random hipster (beer in hand) commented that parts of me were attractive but others were not. He said if I was trying to go for a sexy look I shouldn't wear the boots that I was, and should try to go for more mainstream make-up.

3) Something one of my friends said, which I really liked, though it is sad, is

"Beauty doesn't really exist anymore. It's all conformity. And even when you are beautiful, you still aren't really beautiful enough."



Interview with Neith Moore

I recently interviewed my Art teacher, Neith Moore, which produced such gems as

"Try not emphasize the cuteness of the child. You know, she looks like little Annie therefore she is much more successful than the other child who looks like a hatchling girafffe."

and

"So if you go to your matric dance in black clunky boots and black organza looking like something out of the Addams family, that's amusing. I find that amusing. I don't think teenagers find that amusing though..."
