CREATIVES OF COLO(U)R: THOUGHTS BY MY SISTER


Okay guys, it's our post again and this time Zoe suggested the idea that we interview a POC about art, or something that is important to them. Great idea, and I obviously chose my sister so here it is:


What is your favourite of art? It can be literature, dance, fashion or whatever. Speak loudly.

Dance and ... fashion

And what do you like about them?

I like dance because well you can, it's fun and you can do different types of dance, like lyrical and hip hop and um tap and irish. And I like fashion because I like loads of clothes and it's fun at looking ... sometimes, I like looking at magazines, that you have.


Mine?

Yeah [laughs] And I like sticking them in my book and making collages about fashion. Yeah, that's why I like fashion and dance.

How do you feel about being an artist as a living?

I'm not an artist.




But do you think that's a good idea? Would you like that? Would you like to do fashion and dance as a career?

Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. 

Do you find it hard to express yourself at times?

No.

What do you mean? Expand.

I don't.

Okay [laughs] where would you like to see yourself at age eighteen?

I don't mind being ... (mum interrupts us) I might want to be a dancer, and do fashion, and I probably want to be a model as well, but not like an actual model though.

And finally, do you feel the need to surround yourself with more creative people?

Yeah. 

Expand.

Because, it will help me ... um ... they could help me ... they know what to do. I mean if they want to do the same thing as me, we can work together.

Okay, is that it?

Yeah.

Okay, thank you.

So I don't know why I haven't done a post on Rian sooner, since I love them, put whatever. Now I am!!! Rian Phin, aka thatadult on tumblr and instagram, is absolutely amazing!! Their channel on youtube is one of those that I get so excited about when I see a new video. Their DIYs are awesome, and I really need to try out the fluffy sandals and faux fur coat tutorial.

Anyway, I think the reason why I'm such an avid fan of Rian is because they are so real and every time they put an opinion or say something they always balance it out with the other side. Maybe it's to reduce criticism, maybe it's just habit or maybe it's both, but either way, that's one of the reasons why I think they're so cool and amazing.

Rian is also challenging your views on things too. Recently they put out a new video which touched on some of my thoughts on thrifting and inspired another post that I'm planning! The main thing though, is that they are always very chilled but also critical about things too and that is so awesome.

So, if you haven't heard of Rian, PLEASE check them out. They are so awesome, style is awesome, videos are awesome and I think they're incredible!

PEOPLE: LAUREN ROSE


Okay, so I really feel like talking about this kind of podcast series on Soundcloud called "Vagina Slims."

So ages ago, I was searching for new YouTubers to watch, and I stumbled across Lauren Rose. Unfortunately I was too late, and had come across her channel after she'd stopped making videos. I watched them all anyway though, and I fell in LOVE with her aesthetic. She's just so cool, and is into really interesting things. I watched Ghost World and fell in love, because of watching her Dorm Tour, her videos are amazing and so unique and I wanted more!!!

Anyway, I honestly have no idea how I managed to come across her podcast series. Maybe I searched her name or something? I don't know. But, the main thing is, is that I did and it's awesome.

Lauren has this podcast series on Soundcloud, and she just talks about random stuff, but it's also quite focused at the same time? I don't know how to explain. She plays a couple of cool songs, talks about film, probably directly or indirectly references Twin Peaks and/or Joan Jett and does it in this awesome cool and calming voice.

Anyway, she doesn't upload frequently, like every week, but she is consistent. I think everyone should listen to her. Even dads listen to her (episode 17) so I'm pretty sure you'll find something about her that you enjoy.

Go Lauren Rose!
Go Vagina Slims!
