    The Russian Bride’s Attire is a life-sized oil painting by the Russian artist Konstantin Makovsky that is currently hanging in the Legion of Honor. At 110 x 147 inches, the piece pulls you in; as if you could step right into it and begin helping the ladies prepare the bride for marriage, or maybe bust her out of there. Makovsky is telling a subtle story through the composition and subject of this painting. The amount of emotion he brings with his angles and use of light and color is breath taking. He’s telling the story of a young girl who is set to be married off to the king, although this may sound glamourous, the girl looks unhappy, and no wonder; she’s a teenager preparing for marriage, preparing to leave behind her family and everything…

While I never think too hard when shopping at the mall, it is quite apparent to me that my fashion choices are not actually so personal to me. In fact, the items in my closet can be described as more or less “feminine.” I dress the way I do because it feels comfortable to me.…

There are many symbols that can represent my race and ethnicity, but the one that represents it the most is my quinceñera dress. A quinceñera dress is not just any regular dress, it is a representation of a young girl turning into a young woman in my culture. Every young woman’s dress is made to fit their style, which means every quince dress is different unless they order it from a catalog, and don’t get it customized to suit their style. I got my dress custom made just for me in Tulare, California which is around three hours away from where I live, Salinas, California.…
