Today I finally completed my Mdia102 response paper, which included a 700-800-word essay and leading a group discussion in this week’s tutorial, about the readings and the essay topic. Funnily enough, I wasn’t a bit nervous before the tutorial, and I think it went pretty well. I’m hoping it did, anyway.
After uni I went to town (for the first time in about a week, it was great!) – the sun was shining, and I was wearing a dress because it was so nice and warm. I got several compliments for it, from strangers as well as from people I know, which made me smile even wider at everyone I met. (Just for the record, here’s a picture of me wearing the same dress in January this year:)
The reason I was going to town was that I was looking for stuff I need for this dress-up thing we’re doing in my film class tomorrow, where we are supposed to dress up as our favourite celebrity, movie character or something like that. So I’ve decided to dress up as Alexander DeLarge (Alex) from Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, because I find that character so fascinating. Plus I really love his outfit, and have been wanting to dress up like him for some time, but didn’t really have a reason to do so until now. There will be prizes – I really want to win!
Pretty cool, huh?
I went to several shops around town; the $2 shop, various second-hand shops and other cheap places, but everything was either not quite right or too expensive for something I’d probably only wear once, so I went to a costume place our lecturer had told us about, and they fitted me with the costume seen above (my shoes) for only $35 – I would very much like to keep the hat! I even bought fake eyelashes to wear on one eye… That’s what I call dedication!
Malcolm McDowell’s Alexander DeLarge is like Heath Ledger’s The Joker of the 1970’s – frightening; charismatic and crazy; but we still love the characters.
I also went to the supermarket, where I happened to come across a ONE News cameraman and a TV presenter hard at work in one of the aisles, and I just had to walk past them while they were filming, so somewhere in the NZ news world I will be shown on a screen, most likely tonight (I’ve been trying to locate the clip online, but so far I’ve been unsuccessful). I swear those cameras are following me…
Btw does anyone else notice how much better I’ve become at posing in front of a camera? Just thought I’d randomly throw that out there.
