    Gracias Puerto Rico

    Saturday, May 18, 2013

    West Side Story made me want to be Puerto Rican. I discovered the show in my 7th grade musical theater class and listened to the soundtrack obsessively. My favorite character was Anita, the fiery Latina with short hair and frilly skirts that she shook around her knees when she danced. For our final class project, [...]

    Friday, May 17, 2013

London Callings: Originality counts?

Posted by · Leave a Comment

Originality Counts? London is a city that has been wildly saturated by the global world. The five block radius around my apartment had no less than five starbucks, two pret-a-mangers, two Massimo Duttis, two Ranoush Juices, and I could go on for days.
