NEWS(1): Fashion: History's shocking styles

Fashion: History's shocking styles
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16870841

Some people will have the impresion after read the news, that Fashion is incredibly strange and ridiculous.... But I think that is curious!
I alredy knew about the bizarre fashion of the modern age, but I didn't know the named Macaronis (the name suggests it all...)
These people who loved Italy Food and dress like a vase of flowers with a enormous wig.

 Described in that way, seems that I'm not in favour of this type of styles...
But the truth is that I think that is cool to know how bizarre things are used nowadays in the catwalk
(But we all know that in the moment of the truth, we all get a simple jeans and a basic shirt....)

And in fact, I like how the bloomers suits (and the meaning that this entails: the modesty of the woman and her restrictive wear is trying to delete slowly)

What you can see, is that fashion seemed to be only for women. And it seems that yet!
It shows that there isn't so much igualty as it seems:

Why men are not as involved as women in fashion?

Why if a man wants to look fashion and he likes the fashion industries, he must be necessarily gay or like they call it: "bit man"?

 

BOOK REVIEW: MILLENIUM

MILLENIUM TRILOGY

The truth is that I'm not a girl who loves read a lot of different books (this type of people who read every thing they can find... even the instructions of the fridge...)
When people say to me: "Oh, how many books do you read this year?" and I became a bit angry because for me is not matter the quantity, but the quality.

And personally, I read a few books in all my life. Good books like Frankenstein, Dracula, Miquel Martí i Pol's poems, Edgar Allan Poe's Tales, and, surprisingly: All the Millenium Trilogy of Stieg Larsson.

If I had said before that I would read an entire trilogy, I wouldn't believe it.
But the fact is that... when you love a book, the pages disappear.

You don't think that you're reading.
You're transported into the world that the author shows you.
And the world of Millenium is starkly real.
A absorbing and hard reality.

The characters are Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander, a so differents persons in a different life style (with differents pasts...)
I always thought that Stieg Larsson used the irony and the critical vision to make these two characters:
Lisbeth has what represents is the "male role" of our society, and Mikael, the supposed "female role".
I think it's a great review to show that the supposed roles are silly and that women and men can have things of the differents roles.
(I mean, Why a man can't be sensitive? Why a woman can't be cold or insensitive or impulsive? Why can not be a woman without this sensitive and loving parts that has the supposed female role?)

Lisbeth represents this at all...
As you read the book, you feel more curiosity about this woman.
I want to know more and more.
And this made you read the pages of the book more than eight hours in a day...

And I think that this is what a book must to had.

I can say that I discovered why so people read the books of Stieg Larsson.
No words can describe it.

PD: I have seen in Internet a lot of people that make draws of their representation of Lisbeth Salander....
I imagined this when I read the book.

ORAL PRESENTATION(2): JAPAN

ORAL PRESENTATION: A country

Oral presentation (2) japan

View more presentations from phoenixxx17xp.

That was my second oral presentation, talking about my favourite country ever:
Japan.

I thought it was good: not only to find information of japanese traditional things... even this sensation of happiness when I wrote all the sensation that transmite me this incredible culture.
Doing the presentation, I found a lot of quotes, objects and names that seems me to familiar: when I was young, I was so involved in this curious world (even I did a dictionary of Japanese words, their use and translation!)




So, for all this reasons, prepare the presentation don't supose to be a problem for me....
I enjoy it!
(that was funny to imitate the girl of the translator to improve my presentation!)


I think that the result was more good than the first....
In the first oral presentation, I was so much nervous and I was wrong in the pronunciation of many words.


And in this, I think that I was more natural (although I still ran aground a little when I speak and in the next presentation I must not carry the paper because I get distracted a lot!)


Even so, I think that I was well this time.... But I need to improve much more!
