...Carole Satymurti’s “I Shall Paint my Nails Red” is a wonderful poem which I found myself closely relating to. I feel that in this poem she reflects many sides of a woman’s life. It may be understood to have two separate messages, the direct and the hidden message. Satymurti does this through showing both the complexity of a woman’s life, and the simplicity that also exists within. At first glance, “I Shall Paint My Nails Red” gives a more obvious and direct amusing message in which she states different reasons why she would paint her nails red. Each line puts the reader in a different situation which may even be applied to our own daily lives. Satymurti does this by using every day examples and using them to suggest often absurd reasons for her to paint her nails red, adding a bit of comedy throughout the poem. Underlying each idea, however, Satymurti implies a deeper message about women and the many roles that they play in society, and the way that they view themselves. The first idea Satymurti suggests in the poem is, “Because a bit of colour is public service”. Here, she is implying that in painting her nails red she is in fact doing others a favor. This line makes me think of a woman loading her groceries onto the cash register before paying, showing off her bright red nails and provoking a smile on the cashiers face. She seems to believe that anywhere she were to go with these red nails, the world would see them and appreciate them. Underlying this main idea however...

...GSS5000 | The History of Nail Art | Nail art and Nail Polish | | By Trang Nguyen | 11/11/2014 | | Abstract Nail art is a fashion sense in today’s world of fashion; it has become more and more popular in the beauty industry and women and men all across the world are making this a fashion trend. Whether or not nail art may be a “new” trend or not, nail polish has been around since high- gloss car paint was invented. Interestingly, back in 3200 B.C., Babylonian males wore black or green nail polish, which signified class; with green representing the lower class and black as the higher class.(Oliveras, 2012) Other countries such as China, Britain, France, and America have an intriguing history of how nail polish existed in their culture. Nail polish and nail art may be the trend today; however, it has always been a trend for many other cultures back in history as well. Keywords: Nail Art, Nail Polish In China and in Egypt, 3000 B.C., the Chinese wore color on their nails as a reflection of class and the ruling of the different Dynasties. The Egyptian and Indian women stained their nails using henna so that the color of their nails would distinguish the upper and lower class; similar to the Babylonian’s. The Babylonian wore green which represented the lower class and black as the higher class. Colors such as a light red were worn by the people of the Victorian era. (Oliveras, 2012) Nail polish and Nail art isn’t a new thing… it has been around for many years...

...filing the nails and applying polish on the nails. I have this knowledge due to my training at a ceritfide school (Ralph R. Mckee High School) To learn how to give a proper manicure that is Salon quality one must attend a Cosmetology school. First you are taught to inspect the nails to make sure they are free from fungus or cuts; it is very important to inquire if your client has diabetes or is a hemophiliac. If your client suffers from either illness there is one step of the manicure you should avoid; cutting the cuticles. After you have observed, and obtained the health information you can now proceed to the first manual step. To begin you must first remove any and all old nail polish from the nails. If the customer has acrylic nails or any type of fake nails, which are easily noticed. You must not use polish remover that contains acetone; this will melt and dissolve the nails. From here you proceed to filing the nails; real or fake. Before moving onto the next hand you must fill a handrest with warm soapy water. Place the hand you filled in the warm soapy water and proceed to file the other hand. When you are finished with filing both hands remove the first and replace it with the second hand. Take the first hand that has soaked and proceed to gently push back the cuticles to seperate the cuticle from the nail bed with a wooden stick that has a flat head at each end, this is called a cuticle pusher; they also make them in clay and metal. It is up to the nail technician’s...

...The main purpose of having consistent purple nails was to signify that the killer was female. It is an automatic assumption that the killer would be male, as that is the general narrative that is showcased in different types of media. Therefore, without having the coloured nails, it would be presumed that the killer, and person wielding the gun, would also be male. Again, in conjunction with the theory of colour, purple is a more so feminine colour and can convey feelings of romance and nostalgia. Purple is often associated with: power, dignity, independence and mystery. Again, playing on this concept of a femme fatale. In this case, Mademoiselle Écarlate is using her sexuality in order to gain or complete an objective. In this case it is luring someone in using her sensuality and desirability in order to murder...

He was inspired by the exuberant sophistication of Yves Saint Laurent, the surrealist wit of Guy Bourdin, and the inimitable glamour of starlets like Catherine Denueve. To this day, these first inspirations shape François’ approach to beauty, and often come to life as dramatic makeup looks or evocative, cinema-inspired product names like Dolce Vita, Strada, or Belle de Jour. Upon graduating from the famed Carita Makeup School in Paris, François Nars’ rapid ascent in the fashion world reflected talent, hard work, and uncommon vision. His approach to makeup was and still is revolutionary: to use makeup to explore the depths and nuances of individual character. Designers like Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld and Versace, admired...

...Jessica Glenn Period: 06 Narrative Essay The Broken Shall Get the Last Laugh She sat on the ground, shuddering against the cold and squirming as she felt her bones ache, pressed against the concrete. She didn’t know which felt worse, the harsh December cold whipping against her already raw and beaten face, or her soul, battered and repressed to the point that it-and the girl herself-no longer wanted to exist. She wondered why she was here, how she had gotten to be so unhappy but she knew exactly why. And it was all her fault. Red. Everything she saw was red. The shirt he wore the day they met, on a day when he was the warmest thing on the rainy Sunday streets. The valentines bear he gave her a month later. Her skin when he started hitting her. Her wrist after long strenuous arguments. The nail polish he bought to say sorry. The knees pressed against the floor after hours of begging to not walk out the door. “No” he yelled at her, losing control of his temper like she had lost herself months ago. He told her she couldn’t leave. She had to be thrown out. Of course was all she thought. He has to have power. Things began to change for the worse. Black was her solace. Black was what she saw when she passed out from the pain. Black was the color of the ice pack she snuck in the middle of the night when he was asleep. Blue. The last days were blue. His shoe laces when he kicked her to the ground. The dress she wore when they went to a Halloween party, and were voted best couple...

...Effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Post traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that is developed after people are exposed to a horrific or life-threatening experience. Symptoms of PTSD may appear immediately or it may appear years later. Even though they may not be present for the traumatic event, family members and significant others such as spouses can be affected indirectly and can also develop certain behaviors. PTSD is commonly characterized by flashbacks and recurrent dreams; sudden irritability and outbursts toward another person without any obvious or known reasons; and restlessness or difficulty sleeping and concentrating. (Neeb, page 169) Traumatic experiences such as witnessing the death of a loved one, being sexually abused or assaulted, being exposed to a war, and being involved in a devastating accident can all cause PTSD. The likelihood of a person developing PTSD is based on the intensity of the trauma. According to the National Institute of Health, once PTSD has developed, women are more prone to experience chronic symptoms of this disorder compared to men. PTSD not only affects the person directly involved in the traumatic situation, but it can also affect people indirectly through exposure to a devastating event. I have recently experienced a very traumatic situation that had caused some early signs of PTSD. My cousin, John, was recently murdered in the comfort of his own home. His wife found him dead after returning...

With so much experience, no one could blame you for wondering why you need a course or this book to tell you how to look at movies. After all, you might say, “It’s just a movie.” For most of us most of the time, movies are a break from our daily obligations—a form of escape, entertainment, and pleasure. Motion pictures had been popular for fifty years before even most filmmakers, much less scholars, considered movies worthy of serious study. But motion pictures are much more than entertainment. The movies we see shape the way we view the world around us and our place in that world. What’s more, a close analysis of any particular movie can tell us a great deal about the artist, society...

...Leaving the Hive When John Replogle (MBA '93) became CEO of Burt's Bees in 2006, sales had been growing by over 30% per year over the previous four years across multiple, increasingly diversified channels of distribution in the United States and abroad. The company's brand leadership in the natural personal care category—itself growing by 15% per year over the same period—was secure, despite growing competition. Replogle's mantra was that all this momentum gave Burt's Bees a unique opportunity to bring natural personal care to the forefront of mainstream personal care in the coming years, a revolution that would be consistent with the original vision of Burt's Bees founder Roxanne Quimby, who thought that the natural and earth-friendly products would ultimately reach "everyone, everywhere." Replogle liked to provocatively claim that Burt's Bees wanted to become the "Starbucks of personal care," in reference to the niche coffee" brand that won over its category by imposing superior product expectations and a renewed sense of meaning in consumption. Achieving this ambitious goal, however, would require many changes for the Maine-born brand that carried an anti-commercial image of friendly quirkiness. Already, rapid growth had propelled Burt's products into mainstream outlets such as CVS and Walgreen pharmacies. Under Replogle's leadership, the product range would be changing rapidly as well. It would still star the brand's classics, including beeswax lip balm and lip shimmers...

...Growing in Motion: The Circulation of Used Things on Second‐hand Markets1 By Staffan Appelgren & Anna Bohlin Abstract From having been associated with poverty and low status, the commerce with second-hand goods in retro shops, flea markets, vintage boutiques and trade via Internet is expanding in Sweden as in many countries in the Global North. This article argues that a significant aspect of the recent interest in second-hand and reuse concerns the meaningfulness of circulation in social life. Using classic anthropological theory on how the circulation of material culture generates sociality, it focuses on how second-hand things are transformed by their circulation. Rather than merely having cultural biographies, second-hand things are reconfigured through their shifts between different social contexts in a process that here is understood as a form of growing. Similar to that of an organism, this growth is continuous, irreversible and dependent on forces both internal and external to it. What emerges is a category of things that combine elements of both commodities and gifts, as these have been theorized within anthropology. While first cycle commodities are purified of their sociality, the hybrid second-hand thing derives its ontological status as well as social and commercial value precisely from retaining ‘gift qualities’, produced by its circulation. Keywords: Second-hand, circulation, material culture, retro, vintage, growing, gifts, commodities Appelgren...
