Yayes to finishing an essay!!! And yayes to having time to blog before more people enter my blog and view a somewhat depressing post... =p Everything's going fine - *touches wood*. lol. I've been in a happy mood for the last two days. It must be all the chocolate (m&m's go crunch crunch crunch - lmao, I can be such an idiot! xD) and the thought of seeing Carson Kressley and naked women again on Monday night 8:00pm. HAHAHAHA!! woot!! I have such a deep fascination for makeover shows - perhaps its the pleasure of seeing lovely clothes upon gorgeous persons (oh gosh, do I sound like a closet pevert?) and/or perhaps it's the idea that an "ugly" person can transform into a beautiful/handsome person with a touch of makeup, a snip of the hair and clothes that fit snugly and magnificently upon one's body. Oh yes, it's a wonderful feeling. Such shows like How to Look Good Naked, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (why did it get axed????!!!!) and Trinny & Susannah - they're my Gods and Goddesses; yes they are. *smiles* ^-^

Speaking about transformations and change, these images that I am about to post will definitely question you to think about all things and issues in relation to the continuous changing attitudes and beliefs towards racism, prejudice, discrimination and identity...?? I've been studying visual images lately and my every-cool but somewhat intimidating lecturer introduced me to these wonderful, fabolous and mind-boggling advertisements for the clothing brand: United Colours of Benneton? Have you ever heard of the brand before? Perhaps you've seen these advertisements before. At first I thought, what relevance does this have to do with clothes? What issues are being raised up? What do you think they're trying to say?










I'll leave the questions unanswered because I think that the answers will depend on your perception, belief and values.

And on a sidenote, with the Beijing Olympics coming up, I hope people will stop commenting and making racist remarks towards my ethnicity and towards my family's country. Every country has its positives and negatives. Every person is different. But this does not mean that judgement should be made in terms of stereotypes, skin colour, culture, language, religion, values and ways of living and viewing the world. SAY NO TO RACISM.
