CATWALK FASHION, PRACTICAL OR A JOKE?

Fashion world is very difficult for the people that work in it and really attractive to the people outside. But nowadays it’s becoming less appealing because of the styles.

Designers are creating clothes impossible to afford and impossible to wear because these clothes are very strange. At the moment, the only person who can wear these “original” clothes and not feel embarrassed is Lady Gaga!!!

If you watch a fashion show, can you imagine wearing these clothes? Definitely I can’t. In my opinion, they can be creative but with more reasonable imagination because some dresses seem that they are made for astronaut women…

Before the designers only designed clothes for the celebrities or for the high society, but now there are more people that can wear these expensive clothes.

Also, thin women are the stereotype of beauty nowadays but it doesn’t mean that women with more kilograms don’t exist. So do why designers only make little sizes? So, if the market is expanding, they should adapt their clothes and make them more wearable for all kind of people. 

NEW

Spanair’s Girona – Madrid routed a runway success.

Since introducing the route in January 2007, the airline has transported more than 76.000 passengers (selling approximately 54 percent of the 140.000 available seats) between Girona and the Spanish Capital, a statistic that exceeds the company’s original projections by roughly 10.000 passengers. As a result, spanair will increase the daily number of flights to Madrid and will also introduce a new route this summer, connecting Girona to the Balearic Islands.

Spanair is a good airline with a lot of destinations. You can find it in Barcelona’s or in Girona’s airport. Some time ago, if you wanted to travel abroad, you didn’t have a variety in a lot of aspects like before there were a small number of travel agencies, also a few airlines and there weren’t a lot of destinations from Barcelona.

Girona airport and Ryanair, in my opinion are one of the best things the government have done, because for people who live near Girona is a good advantage. In this case is when we see that it’s true that the technologies are improving.

Now, there’re a lot of airlines and it’s better for us to know which one is the cheapest, or if one company offers you more advantages than other for the same prize, etc. It also means that, in some way, you can choose whatever you want because there are a lot of advantages to take. One example is that if you fly with an airline company called Ryanair, and if you pay an extra amount, then you’ll have a priority pass.

But now there’s a problem because the government said that he wouldn’t gave more extra money to some flights because he didn’t obtain benefits. In some way I understand it but nowadays we are in crisis and if the government takes out some cheap flights like Madrid or Tenerife, then these flights will cost us more money because we’ll have to go to the Barcelona’s airport or maybe catch the flight with some airline more expensive.

To conclude I’ll say that the companies have widen the destinations and it’s a successful progress because doing that companies will make more profit and also we’ll benefit from it.

THE CINEMA INDUSTRY

Now the world of cinema is accused of repetition, because it always makes remakes, silly comedies, explosions and all kind of special effects. Before there were a lot of stars of cinema like Audrey Hepburn, John Wayne, and Marilyn Monroe Some of them were very good actors but others only copied their style. There were big actors that didn’t win the popularity of the people, not because of their talent, but because they did not have the glamour of actors like Marilyn Monroe. The truth is that this was a false world and no one was what they pretended to be. What was important was glamour.

But nowadays the “stars” don’t have it, they are very superficial and short lived. For example one year Cameron Diaz is the queen of the screen and then a few months later it’s Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox.

I’m sure that you will agree with me when I say that times change. Music and actors have to change for fashion, they have to adapt themselves to the movements of the moment. A lot of famous people are very similar, an example in the music world is that there are hundreds of Britney Spears but only one Tina Turner or Frank Sinatra. There are no individuals, most of them are stereotypes.

Before people looked up to the stars. Now the stars are like you or I; they are not special, not glamorous. The spectators miss this glamour and also the actual “stars” because they are too like us.

The cinema industry is creating more and more of the same. Before when you saw a film the actors took your breath away. Now we can almost see ourselves on the screen. A lot of the magic of the hero or heroine has disappeared, replaced by special effects. There are some admirable actors like Julianne Moore, but they are not “stars”. Is it better a lot of films and a lot of actors or a small number of quality films with glamorous stars.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD?

We are always protesting against many things, most of the times without any reason. When we do that we become very foolish people because there are a lot of people that haven’t got our opportunities, for example to study. In general, most of the people who live in the third world don’t have education. They usually work to bring food or money to their home. This is called child labour and it’s work done by child. The main problem is that it prevents child’s education and interrupts their development. It’s dangerous work for the well being of the children because they have to work in bad conditions, and sometimes they are like slaves. This is considered a human rights violation, but some countries tolerate it.

Child labour can have serious consequences like chronic diseases, wounds or chemical infections. The children who work in these conditions are between five and fourteen years old, and as everybody knows the legal age to start working is sixteen. There are different types of this kind of work like Soldier children, these ones have to work as cooks for the army and also participate in wars. There are also “sweat factories” where children work many hours with sewing machines to make clothes for the fashion industry. In my opinion, the government should do something to help all children that are forced to do this kind of work and make it safe. Moreover, they have to solve the sanity problems or stop the dangerous child labour.

COMPUTERS IN SHCOOL INSTEAD OF BOOKS

New technologies, in general, help us to make the future easier and more accessible. We are always advancing.

There are many examples of technological inventions that have changed our lives: The telephone, the television, the microwave, X-ray machines and of course a lot of medical advancements that have saved thousands of lives. The computer is antoher example because all business, libraries, banks, shops, etc have computers.

Now computers are being introduced into schools. But is it positive or negative?

On the one hand they are useful and good in many situations for example if you have to do work with a lot of pages, is better to do it with a computer. But you can’t always use it well. You need to know about computer programmes and to control them. Another positive point of computers is that you can find the information faster and it’s easier to find it.

On the other hand computers are having and adverse effect on students because if we always work with computers, we’ll lose the ability of write, our vocabulary will be less rich and books will disappear.

A CITY I WANT TO VISIT

I love traveling but I haven’t had a lot of opportunity to do it because of my age.

I’ve been to London, to Sweden, to Italy, to the Canary Islands and in some cities of Spain like Malaga, Basque country, Madrid…

I would like to go to America and visit the spectacular city of New York. This city is amazing. I’ve seen it in a lot of films, especially some areas like Manhattan, Brooklyn, Times Square, Wall Street, Central Park…

I also want to go there because all people who have been there say magnificent things about it and if they could they would return there.

Another reason for this motivation is that New York is very different from the cities I have visited. This city of USA has a lot of skyscrapers, there are a lot of people of different cultures, the typical food, monuments and museums… New York is more advanced in technology than Madrid or Barcelona (my nearest city) because if you are walking down the street of Times Square you’ll see a lot of electronic amusements and advertising.

If one day I go there, I want to visit The Statue of Liberty, The Empire State, Times Square, Chrysler Building, Brooklyn Bridge… There are a lot of sites to visit, every cm has something special. The problem of this city is that the costs of travel are very high, so now I can’t afford it but I hope that in the future, I’ll get a good job that will allow me to make this dream come true.
