...but now-well-I'm not so sure.
As shockingly funny as this may be at first (because it's Scareface-and children doing scareface is a crazy thing in and of itself) but the video is totally the opposite of everything that myself and millons of educators have worked towards for promoting a positive and healthy environment for the arts...a positive and healthy environment period. It's just kind of sad.

sixty years later
Consumption.
Spring Break.
I feel that often the two can go hand in hand. Mine started right off the back by walking into the door; Briefly greeted by a very excited pup and then I was handed a bag...a bag by my mother...with a dress inside. A wedding dress. A wedding dress from the 1970's. At first I thought - "Ummm...seriously, mom, thanks but no thanks." THEN I realized that "Oh my gosh. This is a real wedding dress from the 70's-how cool!!!" THEEEEN I opened it up to look at it...
...Hideous.
Completely and utterly hideous. I'm not even going to show pictures of it.
You see, I'm in process of collecting receipts to create a wedding dress entirely based on the concept of 'consumption' with materials made of nothing but, well-receipts. So she found this for me as a model to work off of. Still...it was hideous. I wonder if later down the years we'll look back on our styles that we are so 'consumed' with now and find them...hideous? I'm sure we will. However, why is it that we are in constant cycles of repeating styles from previous eras? 'The classics.' I'm still obsessed with many of them...

Bella in the sea.
'She sang beyond the genius of the sea.'
Reason and logic versus our imagination.
Before we think or speak about anything...there are always pictures. Here is where things are stored; natural instincts. words. pictures. imagination.
Logic forces limitations.
Imagination allows for limitless possibilities.
The sea seems to be, at times, endless. The possibilities and mystery that lie beneath those waves and ripples of the blue. The transformations that could happen.
Jacques Cousteau:
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
...Finding that we are bigger than we once thought we were-more potential, more wonder, more knowledge, more hope...should spark an inspiration to want to bring it out and more importantly, live it out. Fully and admirably. Transforming ones self from 'you' to 'You'.
