Explain Why I Decided To Dress Up As Wendy Davis

Decent Essays
I decided to dress up as Wendy Davis, a Democratic Politician, because Texas needs more women like her. I learned that in 2013 she was fighting for women’s right as she stood up for 13 hours straight, which explains why she was wearing running shoes. It was shocking how she was not allowed to have any bathroom breaks, and still manage to speak for so many hours. Perhaps, even bladders are bigger in Texas. That is one tough women, to be willing to give women a voice so that men do not tell young girls what they are supposed to do with their

    Commencing Unbound A lurid, fuchsia dress with generously powdered glitter and blaring, familiar music danced to by relatives you weren't even aware were relatives are trademarks of the traditional rite of passage into adulthood in my culture and one I never had the pleasure to experience due to my family's financial situation at that time. Still, my own stride into coming of age was too one with renowned garb, although much less garish. Familiar music playing in the background and only my immediate family sat close to the stage in awe to watch me. Graduating from my esteemed high school, Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH), was the omega to the alpha of my future. That experience both humbled me and triggered the tenacity in me to…

    They appeared to have little to worry about in regards to their appearance; I even spotted one boy in blue jeans and a plain t-shirt. The majority of them undoubtedly spent mere minutes getting dressed that night, and as uncomfortable as collared shirts and ties may be, they always had the option to loosen ties, roll up sleeves, or otherwise alter their clothing to allow for more comfort. Dressing up was not an event in itself, but rather a minor nuisance that had little effect on the overall experience. Nonetheless, male judgement still shapes the idea of beauty in both females and other males.…

    The Captivation of Costuming Struggling with the uncooperative zipper of the frantic actress's dress, I realized I would need a new one in under five minutes before her next scene on stage. I rushed to the overflowing box of supplies and realised we didn’t have any more zippers! On the advice of a fellow costumer, we began to search for a new dress only to find the remaining one was three sizes too big for our actress. Amidst a flurry of humming sewing machines; we were able to take the dress in four inches and have our actress ready just seconds before her next stage entrance.

As I continued to walk through, I was so excited that I was playing over in my head what toys I would play with first. The Barbie dolls first, then the playhouse, and build a house with Legos.

    Much like my experience at the Foundation Communities Health Fair, I volunteered to register folks to vote while also discussing the need to protect reproductive services for women in Texas. Volunteering at the Legislate THIS: Election Edition! burlesque show was quite interesting because I had never been to one and it was a chance to engage with people about the importance of being involved in women’s health issues. In an effort to bring more awareness and support to this event, I advertised the event among my friends and on my social media. I stated the importance of women’s reproductive rights and explained that all the proceeds of Legislate THIS: Election Edition!…

    I enjoy getting dressed up for fancy events. I feel uncomfortable in crop tops that are cropped too much and skirts/shorts that or too short. 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.…
