Emma Arett was the winner of the Dylan Landis Fiction Prize for her piece, "Ten Cool Tips for College Girls."
Hi! My name is Jody and I am a sophomore at a GalsOnCampus affiliated university on the East Coast. It's so fun here-sometimes. Sometimes, though, it is not that fun at all. That's alright! I am super glad you that clicked on my article. No matter where you're enrolled, college can be really hard once in a while. I have compiled the ten tips that have really helped me succeed for the last two years, and maybe they will help you, too!
1. Always make sure to look fun and flirty! Nobody wants to befriend a sad-sack.
Cute girls should always nab the booths at The Kingdom. We spend the early part of our residency on the pool table, glancing casually at the booths over our iPhones, waiting for them to open up, and swooping before other, cuter girls discover that one is free. Tonight, our booth is perfect: equidistant from the front door and the bathroom, we can see everything, a hundred percent. We are cute girls and sometimes our lives are easy. The last group of cute girls sitting at this particular booth each walked outside tangled up with a good-looking rower. A rower for every lady. Some of the rowers had freaking Patagonia vests on. Do you know how much a Patagonia vest costs?
2. Prioritize your body. A happy body is a happy girl!
I tell the girls to go and order me a vodka soda extra lime and I will hold the booth. Claire says she doesn't know why I do that to myself. I am spending tonight experimenting with vodka sodas, because vodka tonics, my favorite drink from last year, just have so much sugar. They taste terrible to Claire and Dora but I almost like them more. Sometimes boys will ask you what you are drinking, then when you say "vodka soda" they will pretend they've never heard of it and ask for a lil taste. When they taste it they say, that's disgusting, why you are drinking that? Always say you say you're drinking that vodka soda because of the calories. The boy will always say something nice about your body. That's why you do it.
3. Surround yourself with people who get you feeling good about you.
It's almost three and I feel like we've done everything in the world. It's only September and I feel like the world is so blehhh already. We're too old to go to frat parties and at two-thirty the only bar you can dance at starts playing John Denver. The rowers are all already shacked up and the rest of the dude situation here is dismal. This is where I ask Craig Muldofsky if he really (and I mean reallyreally) wants to see me tonight.
Craig Muldofsky is a football player and I slept over in his room six times between March 16th and May 22nd during my freshman year. The second and fifth time we had real, grown-up intercourse and then we put it on pause for most of April because we began seeing other, better people. He discovered Julia Klein, blonde economics major and VP of Standards for Delta Delta Delta. Not to be vulgar, but last semester I listened to her poop in the student center bathroom. I feel that this a fact which holds some weight when discussing Julia Klein.
At the same time, I found John Bell, a history major, who traveled in a social circle tangential to mine, because Claire went to Choate with John's roommate Drew and sometimes she dragged us along to smoke with them. John had easy sex with me after one really positive Smoke Sesh, and twice after that, and the fourth time he took me home after half-price margarita night at El Gatito. We were smoking outside of his dorm and then we were kissing, and then he put his hand up my shirt just for a second, and then I leaned over and vomited on my skirt, legs, and shoes. John removed his hand from my shirt, and immediately terminated his invitation with the words You're a fuuuucking mess, and witnessed me barf my way back to my own bed. I don't see John around so much anymore.
It's unclear exactly what happened with Craig and Julia Klein but I've done my best to reconstruct it. He quit coming to Spanish class for two weeks, citing a sports injury, and then a photo of a definitely uninjured him and Julia Klein at the TriDelt spring formal on May 2nd received 32 Likes on Facebook and one comment from the VP of Recruitment that said "cute." Two weeks later Julia Klein updated her relationship status to "in a relationship with Danny Henderson," a medium good looking basketball player. Five days after she updated her status, Craig texted me for the Spanish homework and we slept together a sixth time.
We texted over the summer if one of us was drunk or high but he was interning in Minneapolis at Target, working in Distribution and with a concentration in Rugs and Carpeting. I stayed in the city and worked at the college's housing office, and spent my spare time writing copy for Jewelry by Julie, an online jewelry store. In July, he told me he was high on coke and that he really missed me, wished I lived in Minneapolis, couldn't wait to see me again in the fall. I can't stay mad at him for so long. Few people I care so little about care so deeply about me.
4. Make an impression in every single class you attend!
Last spring, Craig and I took 4:10 Español Intermedio II with Profe. Hank Franklin. There are very specific games a girl has to play in order to be considered fuckable in a class like Spanish—there are fifteen people tops, so you can't run the same games that you would in a lecture hall. In Spanish you have to milk the five minutes between when you get there and when Profe. gets there: you must be the subject of conversation. I distilled my game down to a matter of targeted, themed outfits. I was most often a khaki-skirted Working Girl (oh, yeah, I just had an awesome interview! Thanks for asking, I'm really excited), a Hangover Princess (Profeeeeeeeee puede turn off los luces pleeeease???), and a Yoga Warrior (I'm just, like, soooo into hot yoga right now, it's kind of ridiculous).
Look how charismatic and vibrant you appear! Working Girl gets whoever your Craig is thinking: hmmmmmm, she seems like a very real person with real aspirations and goals, and I both respect that and want to have sex with her. Hangover Princess will make him say: wow, this girl has not only intense job prospects but is also a lady who likes to have fun! If I see her at the bars tonight, I will probably buy her a drink and then bring her home. I am looking forward to that. And even though yoga is only maybe the third sexiest form of exercise, it is the most interesting, especially if you brag about how hot hot hot your yoga is. Hot hot hot yoga! I like it hot!
So Craig and me knew each other from class, but it wasn't like we started off with a capital-C Coffee Date. I'm pretty pleased with myself about how we met, actually. For Dora's birthday I invited our friends to pregame a Friday night with cake and Nikolai, and we put on our hooker looks because the football frat was hosting this random spring party and it was the only thing going on. We were medium excited at the beginning, then we drank too much too quickly and got really excited due to the alcohol and, on a much deeper level, because bulky bros make us feel skinnier, smarter, and definitely way prettier.
Anyway, so we got to the football frat and of course Craig was there. He was sitting on the couch and I was dancing in the corner with the girls and finally I saw him and I was like, whaaat? And Craig was like, whaaat? I didn't know you went to this kind of party, and when I tell the story I say something clever back like, Haha, I bet there's a lot of stuff you don't know about me! But truthfully it was something along the lines of HAHAHAHAHAH YAAAAHHHHH. We left shortly after and I woke up very late the next morning. Dora says that I disappeared and she thought I got girl-knapped, she doesn't know where I've gone off to until I show up the next morning all gooey talking about how I went home last night with Craaaaaiiiig.
5. Make sure your parents know that you're doing well!
I played it cool on the Monday class after the first hookup, rolled in five minutes late looking like a freaking queen. I answered many questions correctly and Profe. was very thrilled I had suddenly begun to take an interest in Español. I wasn't planning to keep seeing Craig but he would talk to me in the hallway and ask how I was doing all the time, and then once, during a lecture about el subjuntivo, I asked if he would do my Stats homework for me and he did it without too many questions, and then he did it again without any questions and two more times after that.
I don't care much about improving my math skills. My dad believes that with the right teacher and a correct amount of personal wherewithal I could be an amazing statistician. This is untrue but it is still a cute thought. I'm getting an A in stats, I told Dad over the phone towards the end of the semester. Dad was so proud he got right on the computer and ordered me this jeans jacket I had been lusting after. You've gotta keep Dad happy.
6. Check in with friends throughout the night to make sure everyone is OK.
SO. When I know it's going to be a long night, I text Craig something like, What are you doing tonight... at elevenish. With boys I like a lot, I'll start off with something coy like where u headed 2night?(; but I don't need to play with Craig. I super don't want to see him at a bar. He tries to resist me but it often only takes a half a minute for him to write me back. Not much u. By the bottom of the night we've been talking long enough that it makes sense to ask if he wants to see me. He usually does and he will walk the four blocks to make sure I get to him safely. He does not complain about doing this.
When I tell the girls that Craig the football player is coming, I have to clarify, because they think I'm saying Greg the football player, as in, Greg Pesellano, this unbelievably good-looking freshman football player, who kind of looks like the world's strongest, tallest toddler. He's just so vulnerable looking—we see him and we want to weep, we want to hold him while he weeps. He's in Claire's geology lab and sometimes we get cute and go meet her when it lets out. We lounge around on the benches outside the science building and smoke and look at Greg Pesellano lumbering towards the athletics bus, off-kilter due to the weight of his duffel bag. Claire says, at the beginning of the year, he was almost her lab partner but then our stupid friend Jordana decided to take the class last second and, collective ugh, Claire had to work with Jordana because that's, like, friendship 101. Greg worked with some dipshit civil engineer.
Everyone gets thrilled, and I take Dora's head and bring her ear to my mouth with my hands so I can specify: NO—CRAIG, AS IN CRAIG MULDOFSKY—DO YOU REMEMBER HIM? NO HE'S, LIKE, REALLY WEIRD—LIKE, WE'RE SEEING EACH OTHER STILL, BUT YEAH—I DON'T KNOW—YOU KNOW?
She has no damn clue.
7. Stay humble! Don't forget to be thankful for all the wonderful opportunities that come your way.
Just after he sends a text agreeing to stop by is when I like take a moment and thank the universe. For example, I am thankful right now because I am the only girl in my friend group who any boys from freshman year even remember, and also because Craig hasn't seen me since before the summer, which I spent practicing very, very hot yoga, taking long runs while listening to Planet Money, and reading mostly Great Literature but also some badly translated Swedish mysteries. I don't think I've been this skinny or this smart in forever.
Dora and I trot out to the smoker's plaza to really get our arms around what is about to happen. We smuggle our drinks behind Dora's Longchamp bag, which is roughly the size and color of an alley cat's belly. Dora and I are flirty with Joey the bouncer and he wouldn't nag us anyway. He thinks it's cute that me and Dora are nineteen and we break the rules. I light us each a cigarette and try to explain properly: Craig is that guy from your birthday party, remember, the guy from Spanish? Ohhhhhh yaaaaaaah, I remember; you showed me his Facebook. Dora and I laughed at his profile picture, where he is standing on the pier, posing with a large swordfish, proud like a dad. We laughed together, but her laugh was the same one she uses when we see freshman girls going to frat parties in six-inch heels. I didn't know you guys still talked!!!! That's so cute!!!
Craig arrives in gym shorts and Adidas slip-ons with socks. He isn't supposed to drink during the season so he stayed in tonight. Dora spots him when he's half a block away and points—oh my God that can't be him hahahahahahahaha look at him he's so funny. Often when Dora gets like this I think it's cute but right now I wish she would just keep quiet and act cool. She makes me act so cool when we're around whatever creepy, small-mouthed boy she likes. She's waving at him. You're being sooooo weird, Dora!!! My eyelashes feel crispy.
8. Respect your friends. Just because their choices don't make sense to you right now doesn't mean that they won't pay off in the long run.
Here he is. Hi Craig! I take a long drag and offer it to him. You want? Dora tries to minx him inside to have a drink with us. She's using all my best moves. She's freaking touching his forearm. In my heart I know she's just drunk but I feel defensive in the same way I imagine Andy Warhol used to feel. I feel like Dora is looking at my Campbell's soup can and saying: I could do that. But IIIIII am the famous painter here. She has to deal. I look at Dora as meanly as I can, saying with my eyes, Hey, girl, you do not even want to be having sex with this large, ugly boy, so cool it down! I will have a talk with her tomorrow.
He says: Naaaahhh, let's head out, and I smile at Dora and tell her I'll see her later. The Warhol sells for a million billion dollars! Big winner! Craig and I walk slowly together and I smoke and blab about how much fun tonight was, and most of it is true but some of it is a little made up. We are walking past the chapel where I got ashes last year now, and he is holding my hand. He kisses my face. Quit it Craig I'm cold. On Saturday nights, you have to look pretty enough to be such an asshole.
When we get outside of his dorm I fumble in my handbag for another cigarette. I love drunk smoking, I tell him. You got a light? Of course he doesn't.
He says, Jeeeeeesus, come on, you're gonna make yourself sick, and my heart just swells, like, a million times bigger than I ever thought it could get. I push back, though, try to squeeze out a little more kindness: oh look I found my lighter! He looks frustrated, exasperated. He has the same eyes TV dads get when their daughters are acting bad.
It occurs to me that I am misbehaving an awful lot tonight. I blink a lot and say just keeeeeding. It's fine. I'm feeling unbelievable and the idea of the second cigarette just melts away, back into the pack, back into the purse.
9. That being said, it's important that your friends also show you plenty of respect. A good friend will support your decisions just as much as you support theirs.
Last year, Craig had a roommate named Dave who would never leave when I came over. Their beds were so close together that, if both boys were laying in bed, they could reach out their arms and hold hands like cute pals. In the morning when all three of us were getting up, Dave would ask how I was doing. Really good, thanks, Dave! Now Craig has a single but I see Dave everywhere and he never says hi to me. Like, we've both got 2:10 classes on Wednesdays and he always walks by me during my 2:00 cigarette and, it's like, come on. I know you know me. Remember that one time you saw me a little naked because you didn't know I was there and I didn't know you were looking? I remember! Like, Dave, just say hi.
In the elevator I show Craig affection. He lives on the fifteenth floor which is enough time for me to take his hand and bring his arm over my shoulder, then I put my body against his body and we look at the front of the elevator. Oh, I like Craig so much right now.
This year Craig is living in a primo senior dorm on the east side of campus with a bunch of boys I don't know. His suite has its own kitchen and a living room with two sofas. Every surface in the suite looks icky. The boys have an Xbox and drums of protein powder on top of their fridge. I look around the kitchen and say: You know what's on top of my fridge? A box of Raisin Bran. Should I start eating protein powder? Craig thinks no, definitely not, and you don't eat protein powder straight up, you mix it with water. The television is on. Gross!
We sit on the couch and look at TV for a minute while I take my shoes off. They're just so complicated, I complain, and Craig laughs. There's a special on right now, My Child is a Monkey, and we're looking at some footage of a mommyish Midwestern woman swaddling a tiny capuchin monkey in plaid cloth. This can't end well but it breaks to commercial right before the faceclawing gets started. I make fun of Craig, watching monkey shows. This just started, he explains, it was When Animals Attack!!!!! before. It was a marathon and he coulda seen the end but I had to take up so much time doing all that smoking. That gets my mind totally throbbing, like: he was sitting here alone, by himself, drinking beer and watching animal attacks? That's nuts! That's so antisocial!
This gets me so nervous. I'm nervous and I need a pee. Like, what if he's not wellliked? What if he's secretly a dick? Unpopular? I'm nervous. I ask if I can get a beer. He says he doesn't think I should, maybe would I like some water? And this, man, this is the freaking key to my heart. This unprecedented level of caring about me gets the mood correct like no other. I watch him rinse me a plastic dining hall cup in the sink and fill it less than halfway, so if I spill it I won't get the plastic sofa wet. Wow, cute.
He brings me the water and sits near me on the couch. There is not really enough room for both of us so he puts his hand around my waist and brings me onto his lap. It's pleasant but I also feel like I'm at the mall, sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap, like there's some dope in a suit who doesn't know me just holding me. The Easter Bunny isn't like Santa, he can't talk through that mask. He doesn't even know me. I can't even hear him.
Craig is talking about something like how cute my hair is, he has taken my ponytail out andIamfrustratedbecausehewill lose the hairband and I will have to look so shameful tomorrow. He is patting my hair and rubbing his face upon my face. I am watching the commercial for a girly movie I would really like to go see. I say maybe we should go see it together. He smooches me on the face and says what we really should go see is his room. I've already seen your room, shitmouth. Woah! Too far! I'm sorry. I haven't seen his new room, that's true, so I let him win and we go. His new room is not decorated except another can of protein powder in the flavor of Tropical.
Craig is messy in bed and, as someone who focuses a lot of energy on her bedroom skill-set, that irritates me. Tonight it goes the way it always does: my dress comes off and becomes a small pile of weak, sweaty fabric (if I wash it, it will shrink, it cost $50 at American Apparel and if I wash it it would be like throwing $50 in the laundry machine, bye-bye. The dress smells so gross but nobody smells my clothes that often.) He puts me on the bed and slips his fingers inside of me and just kind of leaves them up there until I'm saying something like, yeah that's good but like a little faster? He moves them around for a just second like that's all it takes. He says something silly like, do you got whiskey dick right now?, because it doesn't get me even one little bit closer, so I go, yeeees, it's true, I'm so wasted.
If I am not feeling rambunctious enough to fuck him joyfully, if I am only sleepy and drunk and ready for bed, he'll try and push just a little bit—awwwwwweeeee c'mon Jody—but gives up on the second or third try. His body overwhelms me in its size and solidity. The only time I earnestly enjoy this body of his is when I am positioning it around mine, instructing him on how to hold my breasts while I sleep. I like to be held in the same way the kids clutch their stuffed pets. This is the only time when his body feels nice to me.
He tries to get what he wants again halfway through the night you're killin' me, Jo, you're just killin' me! Usually I am sleepy and impressionable and work my hand around on his groin area for a little while, but it's always only for a little while because when he does come it is prolificit's like nothing I've ever seen! It's nuts! But always there is some big issue of finding paper towels or a rag, because I don't want sticky hands with that when I'm in the vulnerable area between very drunk and very hungover. If I don't help him out I tell him I'm having a nice dream and to just deal with it himself.
He's been working so hard, making me feel extra-special, so I crawl down to the bottom half of his body and give him what he wants. Here are some things I think about while I am doing the Ultimate Indelicate Act: Julia Klein pooping, whether it will be sunny tomorrow, the size of Craig's penis compared to John Bell's (roughly the same, despite their notable difference in body sizes), monkey attacks, and, finally, how much I wish Craig would quit pushing on my head. Then: woah, wow! One time, in high school, someone wrote graffiti on the second floor bathroom that said "Jody Donahue SWALLOWS!!!!!!" This is often true.
I had such a weird time in high school. Afterwards Craig brings me close to his body and tells me I am so cute. I dream about cute things. I sleep well. I dream about monkeys and rabbits.
We wake up early because he has team breakfast and wants to go running beforehand. Craig gets these kind of crazy eyes when we're walking out in the morning—like, he looks all googly and bewildered, in an "I can't believe I just did that with this girl" kind of way, where that and this girl are either good or bad things depending on inflection. I think it's endearing. He holds my bra out to me like it's a very heavy thing.
This time, we do not show affection in the elevator. I feel like I am at a business. We get to the bottom floor and he realizes he has left his iPod upstairs and can't go any further without it. Alright. Whatever. I don't even bring my iPod when I go running. I don't even have an iPod. I don't even listen to music. Alright, whatever. Bye, shitmouth.
On the way home I buy a coffee from the halal cart near my building and smoke cigarettes and tell myself that I am the freaking queen of the world, I am a superstar. I look like trash but I'm a winner this morning. Again, it's not because I'm so obsessed with Craig, it's almost exclusively because I am the only one of my friends who is sleeping with anyone. When I get back to my room, I text all the girls asking who wants to do brunch. My eyeballs hurt really, really bad.
10. Never accept anything less than the best. Strive for success in each of your endeavors. These are the best times of your life. Good luck!
I think I have developed the perfect scale to measure human beauty. I have ranked all of my peers in every aspect of their lives which matter—physical attractiveness, cultivation of hobbies and extracurricular activities, fake ID possession, and on and on—and given them scores from five to ten. Fives are so forgettable you hate that you met them, you feel angry you wasted your life on the fortyfive seconds they took to introduce themselves. Based on their Facebook presences, most of the fives I knew in high school have graduated to solid sixes—they have more than 50 likes on their profile pictures, a scanned Polaroid where they're holding a margarita, a status that got two or three funny comments. It's good, I'm glad for them.
Claire, for example, is a seven. She's got a nice kind of prettiness, a forgettable prettiness but she is still pretty in the way that girls with strange, horsey faces often are. She doesn't smoke and sometimes that's plus one or minus two, depending on who you're talking to, and she's really into Tumblr which is a big negative. Once I saw her check Tumblr at a bar and oh God that's embarrassing. Eights are exciting: eights have naturally arched eyebrows and perfect teeth, and own BB cream that exactly matches their skin tones. Eights are the people who find really nice clothes at vintage stores and go to Brooklyn on the weekends, but always have some fatal flaw, like they won't stop talking about that one time they did half a line of coke. Yaaawn.
When it comes to nines, when you see one in Econ or walking out of the dining hall, you focus on the reason she isn't a ten: maybe her mouth is so full of teeth it looks like her smile got warped in Photoshop; maybe she can't curl her eyelashes right. Her nose or voice or the way she carries herself is weird somehow but you aren't sure exactly what's wrong with it, it's just weird. Her hands, which look normalsized in real life, look gigantic in every one of her Facebook pictures. It's offputting. Strange. She'll get married right after college and everything will be so great for her. And you won't miss her being in your life. Dora is a nine because she talks a lot about her sixyear plan, which is absolutely bullshit and she thinks her life is just so figured out. Also, she just dyed her hair red and it really clashes with her eye color.
Concerning tens: perfect, beautiful, tens—they hardly exist anymore. You don't even know what a ten looks like. Your brain can't imagine it.
I concern myself with how attractive I can become and I don't know why anyone else wouldn't. In the right light I'm an eight, borderline nine if I'm really minxing, seven and a half if I've been in the library for four hours or if I'm thinking too much about how maybe I should just grow up and start dating Craig like a good girl, join a sorority and let him take me to formal. I eat vegetables for dinner when I want pizza. I will respond to every 4AM booty text with "haha ok." I condition my hair and put it up like a princess. I remove the crispy contact lenses from my eyes and replace them with fresh, salty, round ones. I am a haha girl. I am a good girl. Haha.
At brunch we sit on the patio. I order eggs and a supersalty bloody mary and Dora asks me if I did good last night. I don't even think about it. Yahhhhh girl, Craig is amazing, I did so good. It's still too warm to wear my jeans jacket and I can feel the salt from my drink invade my veins. I can feel my electrolytes replenish with every sip. The red blood cells in my body are getting bigger. Everything is so good, ya feel?
Ya, I feel. I feel so good right now. I feel so good. I feel so much.

Shimmer & Shine - #TRT
When it comes to beauty trends, it's all happening. One day we're working on our bare skin and the next, we're layering on opaque glitter shades. If it feels hard to keep up, don't worry. When it comes to glow, we've got you covered.
There's no denying the bare, dewy-faced trend. There's no doubt this trend played a part in the skincare and masking trend, as well. With brands like Glossier boasting makeup that looks like your real skin, we're all feeling the pressure to perfect our faces. Your Facebook feed likely can't go a day without someone sharing an article about the benefits of drinking water. Even supermodel, Gigi Hadid revealed her mom's biggest piece of beauty advice is to stay hydrated. Let's consider natural glow stage one of this trend. (This is going to escalate quickly so please fasten your seatbelts.)
Phase two undoubtedly centers around the hype of highlight and luminizer. Shiny cheekbones and nose bridges are everywhere these days. Every brand has their version of this shiny substance, but a couple industry favorites are Cover FX Enhancer Drops and Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. Okay, okay, now I get to mention my favorite part of this trend. Lid lacquer is the best thing that's ever happened to my face. I mean, do you see Beyonce's shiny lids (above, right). Or those shiny lids on the left? This trend is changing smoky eyes around the world, making them pop with natural light and gloss that was previously only reserved for lips. Our lip gloss isn't just poppin' anymore. Our eyes are, too. (Sorry about that terrible joke but also I stand by it.)
So, remember when I said lid lacquer was my favorite part of this trend? Well, I lied. Or, at least it ties with phase three. Enter the final phase: full-on glitter. The look is so popular, brands like NYX have even made primers specifically for glitter. And ya know what, I bought it. (It works, okay!?) From brows to eyeliner and lips to collarbones, i's New Year's Eve year-round, y'all. And I couldn't be more behind this trend. So, here's to 2017. Whether it's your natural mask glow or Pat McGrath's Metalmorphosis, shine on.

Whinging Yuppies
Okay. Serious question.
Would you ever move to a house by the beach, then steadfastly complain to everyone that the "air smells too salty"? Would you ever relocate to a segregated housing estate then campaign on social media against your neighbourhood's apparent "child infestation?"
Then why, in the name of Ray Romano, would you move right next door to an established live music venue and protest when sometimes at night, sound comes out of it? Were you on your balcony one day, listening to Enya and practicing your daily Pilates, when suddenly an entire club fell out of the sky and landed in your backyard? No, you made the conscious decision that cheap rent and a central location made up for the fact that there was a giant neon bar right across the street.
Jack Rabbit Slims, the club formerly known as Parker formerly known as Black Betty's formerly known as the Post Office, has existed since the dawn of time. The carpet may be sticky and the clientele may have Southern Cross tattoos, but it has been a staple venue of the already minimal Perth nightlife scene for over 20 years. So long, in fact, that it predates any residential complex in the area, meaning all these sobbing ninnies revoke their right to complain that they can't hear their X-Factor reruns.
This, combined with lockout laws and restrictions with alcohol licensing, means that all the fun is being sucked out of Perth like some kind of yuppie Dyson.
As it stands, rate payers hold more than ten times the voting power of music venues, and this often spells death for a club night. It's part of the reason many regular events (see: Father) have been forced to downsize their operation. Claremont Showgrounds is another shining example, with promoters frequently having to fight tooth and nail against residents to host any kind of event - especially past midnight.
At the very least, WA needs to adopt the "agent of change" principle which already exists in many cities of culture. This protects any venue from being shut down if it predates the construction of surrounding residential complexes – as in the case with Jack Rabbit Slims.
Also, you know, don't move next door to a frickin' nightclub and complain that it's noisy. Maybe next you can move to the middle of the Nullabor and start a petition against all the inconvenient sand.

Shakti Yantra Ring ~ Lakshmi
Shakti Yantra Ring ~ Lakshmi
Lakshmi is the Goddess of Abundance & Beauty. Lakshmi's worldly gifts are the greatest prizes of life on earth – wealth, power & beauty – so alluring, so desirable that human beings as well as Gods are tempted to extremes for their sake.
Evoking or Meditating upon Lakshmi arouses a sense of abundance, open hearted, trust in life & the perfect balance of inner & outer beauty. She is the Goddess to call upon when we seek more abundance in our lives, in all forms - money, beauty, friendship, health, spirituality, love.
For thousands of years, Yantras have been used in the Tantric tradition as visual metaphors for the body of the divine. Tantric practitioners advise to mediate upon a deity (Goddess), to bring forth the different aspects & qualities to the psyche. As expressions of devotion & contemplation, meditating upon them is paramount to returning to the true nature of one's being. Because Yantras are comprised of archetypal geometric forms & shapes, they are believed to offer liberation from bondage. And evoke the particular qualities of that Goddess you are meditating upon.
MATERIAL: Brass
SIZING: One Size, with adjustable back
1 x Brass Shakti Yantra Ring (Lakshmi)
1 x Tantric Alchemy Tote Bag
Detailed description of the Lakshmi Goddess energy.
Each Ring has been meditated upon, blessed & encoded with that particular Goddess energy to support you evoking her into your life.

Sometimes trailers are better than the film. Often in fact.
I love trailers. There is an art to creating them. You need to build anticipation to the main event but also not give too much away.
It's such fun, and making them has fast become a favourite part of my job.
If you would like to talk to me about your trailer needs, drop me line. In the meantime, enjoy the edits below.

The journey of Lent is no easy stroll. During Lent, we walk with Jesus to the cross. Lent is a time to examine our discipleship, to compare ourselves to Jesus. This is not a joyful work for we all know we sin and fall very short of the glory of God. Lent is a time for confession of sin and somber repentance. There is a reason why the symbols of Lent are sackcloth and ashes. Is our faith what it should be or could be? Is God my highest
priority, my first thought, my greatest love? These are the questions of Lent. Like Paul, Lent demands that we cry out to God, "Why do I keep doing the things I know I should not do, and not do the things I know I should do?" No, the journey of Lent is no easy stroll. Lent can be a lot like kale; it is very healthy for us but who really likes it?
Even so, as I look back at previous seasons of Lent in my life, to my surprise, I
remember a lot of joy. I remember telling one congregation that I gave up two things for Lent, cliff-diving and my dreams to become a Gold Medal winner as a slalom racer in the Olympics. I remember a Lutheran pastor and friend telling me that his wife had given up cussing for Lent, and it was about to kill her. More seriously, I see clearly a group of 15 men joining my church for our Lenten lunches. These men were transitioning from prison. I smile as I recall my church family members hugging them, introducing them around,
welcoming them to their seats, bringing them food. Anyone could see that they were not used to receiving such loving attention. Those men were adopted by my church folk and my congregation decided to add a project to their Lenten journey and offered to do some work at the home these men shared. It needed a lot of work. We painted, and plumbed, and rewired, and painted, and gardened, and trimmed hedges, and painted, and
re-shingled, and repaired drywall, and painted, and built stone borders, put in a walkway, and we painted. As I sit here, I am remembering the many times I have experienced the unity of the church as many different denominations in the communities in which I
ministered came together in Lenten worship, and as members of our denomination with different skin tones came together to break bread and share our love for God in prayer and the hearing of God's Holy Word. I have been so blessed as I watched God's people offer dramas of Lent in their fellowship halls and on their city streets, and as the Stations of the Cross were shared in a space covering 10 city blocks. These are the beautiful, joyous memories of Lent that I will forever carry in my heart.
May this year, 2018, be the year when you are blessed by the joy of Lent.
Pastor Steve

DPP '10 // Learning/
I was reading Mothering Magazine awhile back and came across some parenting advice that I've never forgotten. The advice was to "say yes".
Say yes when she wants to make pancakes. Say yes when she wants to flip them all by herself. Say yes when she wants to wear mismatched clothes. Say yes when she wants ice cream for breakfast. Say yes when she wants to hold Lucy for the tenth time. Say yes when she wants to make forts in my newly cleaned room. Just say yes.
Even when it means sacrificing my own silly agenda or preferences...I want to say yes. And no, I don't think that saying yes is being permissive or allowing her to manipulate me. I obviously still use my discretion and every day isn't a yes day...but it has saved our connection with each other so many times. It causes me slow down and be a better mommy.
By saying yes, I'm giving her permission to experience life. On her own terms.

Tevolution Brews Cause Marketing Success with SMS/
You all know I love cause marketing - a partnership between a nonprofit and for-profit for mutual profit. But I also love iced tea. So it's no surprise that I love Tēvolution, a delicious new brand of iced tea from Purpose Beverages, Inc., launching right now in in Washington, DC and Los Angeles.
This is purpose-driven entrepreneurship as Tēvolution was created specifically with causes in mind. But their model is also a great example of cause marketing that uses text messaging - SMS - to direct donations and engage consumers.
The company has initially partnered with four nonprofits and contributes 25 cents from every bottle sold to one of these causes.
Those of you who read my post on SMS last week know that I have a renewed interest in SMS because of its ease of use and widespread adoption. In short, just about everyone knows how to text. But not everyone understands QR codes, location-based services and apps.
And that's just one of the reasons Tēvolution co-founders Ian Simpson and Gerard Artavia chose to go with SMS.
Here's how Tēvolution works.
Once you tear off the label, you still have the choice of going online to enter your bottle's unique code. This is a good idea your first time as you can create a profile for yourself that, among other things, allows you to share your giving with friends on Twitter and Facebook, and track your total contribution.
The Tēvolution guys have even gone the distance there, optimizing the same message for SMS text (160 characters), Facebook (embedded branding), and Twitter (140 characters, @ user names, and great use of Twitter-speak).
Tēvolution chose SMS for what it's meant for: broad reach. Text is just the messenger. In addition, Tēvolution smartly engages consumers with a variety of messages that are designed to educate them about the causes they're supporting. It's a cross-platform approach that really shows what a company can do when thinking outside the box. Their texts include a link to a richer media experience for those with smartphones, in this case a landing page with an embedded video on the cause.
"We wanted to be at the leading edge of cause branding," explained Ian. "We are transparent about how much we're giving and how we support our nonprofit partners who make a real impact in communities across the US."
Regardless of the type of cause marketing your cause or company is using, Tēvolution offers an excellent example of how and why more promotions should include the simple, but ever-present text message.
How is your cause or company using text messaging for cause marketing?

The various group from the University of Basel spend two weeks in Shanghai for intensive language classes, where they also paid a visit to swissnex China on 21, August, 2014.
After an introduction about the mission and activities of swissnex China, they received a presentation on working in China by the Swiss Attorney-at-Law Denis F. Berger. Based in Shanghai for already three years, he could give the students valuable insights in cultural differences he experiences in his professional everyday life. Humorous anecdotes about funny and sometimes also frustrating incidents, experienced also by the Swiss swissnex staff, triggered many questions on the side of the students and lead to a very lively exchange.
The following day the group had the possibility to visit the Swiss Center Shanghai, a Sino-Swiss private-public partnership and the by far largest cluster of Swiss enterprises in China. After an very informative presentation about the center's activities and services to SMEs, which intend to, or already entered the Chinese market, the students also learned about challenges and opportunities of the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone, where the Center recently moved to. Afterwards the students could visit the showroom of GF Machining Solutions, a Swiss EDM (electrical discharge machining) machine-tool manufacturer. The students had so many questions, that there was at the end not enough time to visit the other planned showrooms.
We wish the dynamic students a great stay in China and hope they did not only get a comprehensive picture about living in Shanghai, but also want to come back one day to work and live in China.

Getting Exposure.
The older we get the more we don't like change, we become less accustom to trying new things. This is a dangerous mindset for any creative type of person, as it can lead to stagnation in your art and keep you from exploring other aspects of your craft.
I have been like that in the past and have fallen in and out of it through out my time behind the camera. However there always seems to be a time or two a year where I just get the urge to explore something different then I usually do. Enter long exposure.
There a different examples of long exposure that many of you have seen, star filled skies at night and waterfalls with soft, cloud like water. I always found these types of photos interesting but had never really tried to do it myself up until a week or two ago. I've shot so many things on this island that it's refreshing to shoot it in a different way, it gives it a different feel. Capturing the motion of the ocean and it's constant changing is fun and challenging. I am hoping to hone this skill to the point where I can eventually incorporate it into some creative portraits.
Long story short, get out and try something new with your art, you might just like the results (and learn things to boot!).

A stunning debut novel about love and family, about the violence of memory and the equal violence of its loss.
Ann and Wade have carved out a life for themselves from a rugged landscape in northern Idaho, where they are bound together by more than love. With her husband's memory fading, Ann attempts to piece together the truth of what happened to Wade's first wife and to their daughters. In a story written in exquisite prose and told from multiple perspectives—including Ann, Wade, and Wade's first wife Jenny, now serving a life sentence in prison—we gradually learn of the mysterious and shocking act that fractured Wade and Jenny's lives, of the love and compassion that brought Ann and Wade together, and of the memories that reverberate through the lives of every character in Idaho.
Wade's past is the center of Ann's imagination, especially as the memories that haunt Wade begin to disappear inside of his illness. In a wild emotional and physical landscape, Ann becomes determined to understand the family she never knew—and to take responsibility for them, reassembling their lives, and her own.
About this startling and beautiful novel by O. Henry prize-winner Emily Ruskovich, Andrea Barrett has said: "Idaho is both a place and an emotional dimension. Haunted, haunting, her novel winds through time, braiding events and their consequences in the most unexpected and moving ways."

California's proposed bullet train will need to soar over small towns on towering viaducts, split rich farm fields diagonally and burrow for miles under mountains for a simple reason: It has no time to spare.
In the fine print of a 2008 voter-approved measure funding the project was a little-noticed requirement that trains be able to rocket from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles to San Francisco in no more than two hours and 40 minutes.
It was an aggressive goal, requiring cutting-edge technology, and was originally intended to protect the sanctity of the bullet train concept from political compromise. Whether the California High Speed Rail Authority can meet such a schedule is far from certain. Even some backers of the project now say it was a mistake to lock in the strict requirement.

Reality show addicts may also be addicted to dangerous tanning beds, a study finds
By Kiera Aaron, Prevention
Can your reality TV habit turn you into a tanning bed addict? Sounds weird, but it just might be true, according to new research that blames Snooki and company for the tanning habits of some American women.
When researchers at Brooklyn College surveyed more than 600 young adults, they found that 13 percent of those who watched "beauty reality shows," like America's Next Top Model and Toddlers & Tiaras, also used tanning beds. In contrast, only 4 percent of non-watchers went tanning.
Do You Really Want That Fake Tan?
"We're not sure if reality TV encourages tanning, or if people who tan also gravitate to these shows in the first place," says study author Joshua Fogel, a professor of behavioral sciences at Brooklyn College.
You probably already know that indoor tanning is accompanied by serious health risks: According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the ultraviolet light from a tanning bed can cause cancer. They also cause wrinkles.
Fortunately, you can brighten your skin without upping your risk of cancer. Gels and creams that turn the skin a golden tan color are safe and effective. One pick: Xen-Tan Luminous Gold Gel ($35; neimanmarcus.com). It'll give you a light tan and a subtle shimmer--without that icky tanning cream smell or the Big C.
Oh, and while we're doling out advice? It's probably a good idea to pass on Snooki-sized doses of aerosol hairspray, too.

Ok, so these are NOT traditional Harem pants. They are the modernized version from Charlottle Russe but, I still feel like they are a fashion risk for me. I am not sure why I consider them risky. Maybe because I don't feel as fashionably chic as my friend Derya. I think these should have been styled with heels; maybe strappy sandals. What do you all think?

Alaskan husky is simply the best sled dog when you want to go far or go fast, and especially if you want to do both. Our dogs come from famous bloodlines from Alaska, Sweden and Norway. Most dogs are one way or another linked to the Iditarod champion Jeff King's dogs added with some spices from Scandinavian top runners. We love the way they give 100 % on the trail but still can be so easy and social dogs in everyday life. Our team is a mix of a few older and experienced race dogs and a big bunch of one-to two-year-old future stars.
"Do you really remember all your dogs by name?"
We had some friends over from Southern Finland and on the first day of their visit one of them asked this question. We were quite amused by the question but at the same time felt like "OMG where should I start!" Well, they stayed for a few days and on the departure day the same girl said a little bit ashamed " How could I even think that you wouldn't know their names, they all have totally different personalities."

When it is dry or sensitive, the skin naturally needs hydration more important, because their skin barrier is fragile.

text: We've all been there: rushing from the gym to work or a night out, with make-up sliding off, hair in a tangle. Because, while the feel-good benefits of exercise outweigh the side effects, it's no secret that few of us – no, not even fitness bloggers – leave the gym looking our finest. Thankfully, the beauty industry is recognising a need for us to have our cake and eat it. Trend-forecasters Mintel predicted 'active beauty' (products that work alongside our fitness routines) as one of the four leading beauty trends for 2017; a natural follow up to the 'athleisure' movement of 2016, which saw a rising demand for fashionable athletic apparel. 'The ties between fitness and beauty are growing closer and girls want to move freely between the gym and their social activities with very little transition,' says Rachel Chatham, marketing manager for wellbeing festival, Be:Fit London.

In the upcoming year, us class of 2016 students in particular will have our heads crammed with well-meaning yet slightly trite advice such as "create amazing memories with your friends this year" and "make the most of your last year with your friends." Hearing things like this often creates this nervousness within me as I struggle to live up to the social expectations of high school. It feels like my high school experience isn't authentic until I can come up with some crazy and envy-evoking story starring my friends and I to reminisce about once I enter adulthood.
Over the past 3 years of high school, the worry has certainly quelled a bit, but looking back I think the root of the worry came from my buried dissatisfaction with my friendships at the time. Don't get me wrong; my friends were great people, however I wasn't able to form a true connection with them because we just weren't compatible. If you find yourself in a similar situation, here are some pieces of advice, in the form of a few of my favorite quotes, on how to deal with these unsatisfactory friendships.
"Your vibe will attract your tribe." -Unknown
I'd say that the single most important thing to do is to figure out who you really are. Now I know this is super cliche, but honestly "your vibe will attract your tribe." People typically befriend people who they see aspects of themselves in. Once you have a good idea about your interests and values, you'll eventually attract people with similar or complementary ways of thinking. Instead of focusing on trying to fit in with different groups of people, try and make sure they fit with you. It's definitely scary putting yourself out there like that, but I've found that it's better than finding out years later that the perfect friend(s) were out there right within your reach, but your self-negligence lead to your paths never crossing.
"Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you." -Oprah Winfrey
Joining special interests groups are a great way to reduce the sample size of potential friends. If one of the issues with your friendship was that no one enjoyed or cared about your special interests, then going to meet those who already fill that qualification allows you to see what more or less you need in your next friendship. Whether it's joining clubs at school or organizations in your city, surrounding yourself with people who care about some of the same things you care about will give you a great buzz of energy and contentment. It's very important to find people who care about what you have to say even if the topic of choice seems trivial.
"You are a force to be reckoned with." -Unknown
If you truly believe that it would be best for you to stick it out because you see hidden potential in the friendship, go for it.In the case where the dissatisfaction stems from a generally fixable problem, an attempt to fix this problem could add a new layer to your character or even solidify an old one.
For example, it is certainly possible for you to turn a turnoff into something cherished. Rigid, superficial standards are definitely meant to be broken. If you have a friend who goes on and on about how she can't even stand being in the same room as someone who loves something you secretly love, I implore you to reveal your love and teach him/her a sweet lesson on judgement and acceptance. Your quirk could become a part of you that is nothing but adored among your friends, as it should be.
A friendship should not be a mutualistic relationship; all involved should benefit equally. If you aren't wholly committed to a friendship because it just aren"t gaining much from it, then leave for yourself because you are your number one priority.

One summer essential that every female should have in their life?
Denim shorts.
Easy to wear, comfortable and most importantly, leave your legs cool in the blistering hot sun.
Here are 4 ways to style them! :)
Read on for my inspiration behind each look~
I've had this pair of shorts from Forever 21 forever. They are one of the first few pairs I own when I started to get more into this fashion thing. Needless to say, they are really comfortable after all the years. Really glad that they are still holding up!
|Denim shorts are probably the most laid-back clothing item one can own but you can definitely dress it up by pairing it with a blazer. Roll the sleeves up to match the relaxed vibe of the shorts! Finish the look off with a pair of flats or pumps and a statement necklace.
Voila - instant outfit upgrade~ Keeping the clothes to the same colour palette is completely optional but it is the easiest to be matchy-matchy and adds a hint of uniformity.
Tee: Cotton On
Blazer: Warehouse
Necklace: Forever 21
Belt: Cache Cache
Shoes: Rad Russel
|Denim On Denim - A classic.
To avoid looking like a walking denim disaster, try pairing denims of varying shades to provide some visual interest.
Looping a belt helps to break the continuity of denim and a brightly coloured necklace adds more interest (and happiness) to the otherwise blue outfit. If you don't already know, orange and blue complement each other very well.
Chambray: River Island
Necklace: Forever 21
Belt: H&M
Shoes: Itti & Otto
|Because of the heat in summer, it rains crazy heavy too. This outfit is for those rainy days when you don't want to give up wearing denim shorts.
I really like this pair of boots a lot but it cuts off at the biggest part of my calves and so to combat that, I wear black stockings so it won't seem like I have really short legs (which I do, sadly :() I am sure you have heard of the fashion tip to wear same/similar coloured items for elongating purposes.
Knitwear: H&M
Necklace: Cache Cache
Stockings: Black Rara
Boots: Nastygal
Because what is fashion without a little edge?
For my last outfit, I decided to showcase that 'fashion edge' with a little hip-hop vibe via the snapback. I find that adding a cap instantly gives any outfit a tougher look - try it with flirty sundresses for some juxtaposition.
An oversized tee knotted at the waist with those cutout boots adds to the edgy vibe while keeping it femininely fashionable.
Tee: Topshop
Necklace: Forever 21
Belt: H&M
Cap: *scape
Shoes: Senso
What do you think of the different ways to style denim shorts?
Would you try any of them?
Comment below! :)
I'd love to hear from you.
I'd love to hear from you.
Till next time.

In this season of handing out music, movie and TV awards, the country's biggest wine judging and resulting wine awards took place early last month in Sonoma County.
Winners at the annual San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition were announced last week, and foothill wineries that entered have a lot to be proud of. Now in its 20th year, it has grown to be the largest competition in America.
This year's competition featured upward of 6,800 wines from over 1,130 wineries representing 30 states along with several wineries from Canada and Mexico. I always look forward to this list of awards, because there are always surprise winners from states from outside the usually dominate number of California winners. Commercial wineries are in every state, and so are some very unusual grapes and wines.
Judged by a solid mix of 65 wine educators, industry leaders, medi and winemaking experts from around the country, I imagine it can be very challenging for some who are saddled with evaluating an obscure grape type, such as the awarding winning Vignoles from Missouri or the top Petit Manseng from North Carolina. Don't go looking for these winners on our local store shelves.
It is also a popular competition because the wines are separated by price categories and judged accordingly. There is not a chance of a limited production $75 Cabernet Sauvignon losing out to big production $10 Cab based upon price. Unlike many of the other statewide competitions, I think this structure brings together a number of wine entries from across the price board. For instance, the Chardonnay class, one of the largest, had 13 classes or categories for entries: Under $9.99, 10-13.99, 14-15.99,16 – 17.99 and on up to the $45 and over classes.
Every year I tend to grumble about there being too may categories. The Cabernet Sauvignon number of price-specific classes has grown to 17 divisions. And for the second year, they have included "Grape Dominated" classes with multiple price ranges each for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Barbera, Petite Sirah Zinfandel and five other grapes that make up the larger portion of these individual grape blend classes. It just stretches out the overwhelming number of "Best of Class" winners. There are now upward of 170 potential classes for entering wines.
Locally, only a handful of wineries entered the competition. And red wines make up the biggest number of nearby winery entries. Notable winners included Inner Sanctum Winery, which won gold for its 2017 Chardonnay, 2017 Verdejo, 2014 Cuatro Port and Silver for 2017 Rose. Vina Moda Wines achieved gold medals for its 2016 Barbera, 2016 Syrah, 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon and a silver for 2016 Grenache. Black Sheep Winery picked up gold for its 2016 Calaveras Zinfandel. Villa Vallecito scored a gold medal for its limited production 2016 Sagrantino, an Italian varietal, along with silver for its 2016 Grenache.
A silver medal went to Calaveras County's Val du Vino 2016 Old Vine Zinfandel and Frogs Tooth Winery 2016 Sangiovese.
Several Amador County wineries took home "Best of Class" honors, including Sobon Winery 2017 Barbera, Jeff Runquist 2016 Alicante Bouschet, and Wilderotter Winery 2017 Vermentino.
You can taste these winners at the competition's big tasting in San Francisco at Fort Mason from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16. Get your tickets in advance, because the event has sold out the past several years. For more details, go online to www.winejudging.com.
And if you go to the tasting, be adventurous and seek out winners from New Jersey, Texas, Ohio and even Georgia. Unless a road trip is in your future, it might be your only chance to taste these wines from a distance.
Watch out California.

Jake & Christina {Chicago, Illinois}/ Emily Allison
We traveled to Chicago a few weeks ago to photograph this sweet couple. It was a perfect evening, filled with wonderful conversation and beautiful views.
Jake and Christina met through mutual friends, and you could say their first date sealed the deal for them. They recently traveled to Hawaii where Jake proposed to Christina and of course, she said yes!
They will marry next year at Notre Dame, and we couldn't be more thrilled to capture their special day!
