    I walked into the Louis K. Armstrong Theater on February 11, 2018, where the sold-out show was about to begin. The lights went dim, on stage sat a little old woman whose hair was slicked back into a tight bun with a pioneer style dress, that flowed down to her ankles. She stared blankly into the distance while she turned the crank over and over repeatedly. I distinctly remember the props on stage, the large wooden wagon with a huge hay bail set on top accompanying a quaint prairie style house.…

    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun “ Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her from the rest of the world.” The song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper is a song that shows that all girls want to do is be themselves and have fun.

    The costume and makeup with the production made me feel that the year is 1980 with the skirts, side ponytail, the letterman jackets the jocks wore with the straight legged pants, the make up with the bold colors, blush, big hair and bright lipstick. I also like the choreography because it reminded me of a Madonna pop video, I love the dance moves that was used in each scene. The aesthetic that was shown was the way the Heathers was dress:…

    Melanin. When I was younger, it was the little things that affected me: people thinking like my curly hair as an alien compound, or girls asking me in dance class why my tights did not match the color of my legs. As I got older, it was the blatantly awkward moments that affected me: the way my peers seemed to stare when the topic of “race” was mentioned, or people making ignorant assumptions about my interracial family. Today, these moments are nonexistent in comparison to reality. Today, it’s…

    family did not have internet; I could have really used google. I had to resort to calling my mom and having her remove it. It was quite humiliating for a girl that felt so grown up just an hour ago. She quietly showed me the pads and suggested I use them until I got a bit older. Northrup, in her column, "The Body at Puberty," recommends girls use pads initially until her periods become more regular. She goes on to discuss the rapid growth the cervix undergoes and that tampons may cause…

    Is this what you really want and expect a toddler to go through? Your toddler to go through? A long weekend of hairdos, makeup, costumes and gowns? Approximately 250,000 children participate in child beauty pageants each year. Surely not all these girls will get 1st place, so is the effort and low self-esteem as a result healthy for a child’s well-being? I certainly don’t think so. I will be discussing about how beauty pageants are damaging to a child’s self-esteem, how you can develop an eating…
