Betsey Johnson

My favorite fashion designer is Betsey Johnson not only are her designs extremely creative and unique, they are also affordable. Unlike many designers, average people can actually buy her designs. Ever since I was little I always used to love her shoes and bags. I used to be obsessed with glitter and sparkles, and she incorporates a lot of that in her work. She also made very cute and unique bags such as a bag shaped like a basketball, and an alcohol bottle, and she is most known for her bags shaped like a telephone. As a child, I was amazed at how a bag can be shaped like other things but still do the same things as an average bag. She took a major step as a designer and made sure all of her designs were extreme and over the top. She even does a cartwheel into a split after every fashion show. Betsy was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and is now in remission. Growing up she used to dance a lot, making her fall in love with costumes. She took the costumes aspect and realized she likes over-the-top designs which influenced her to create over-the-top items.  Her fashion career started after she entered and won the Mademoiselle Guest Editor Contest. She began being an in-home designer in new york city and eventually made it big. I will always admire her and her designs and have learned not to settle, and she has taught many young children including me to reach for the stars.

AI and Pinoccio

       “I want to be a real boy” is what both Pinoccio and David both had in common. In the book, “The Adventures of Pinocchio” and the movie, “AI Artificial Intelligence” both Pinoccio and David went through a lot and tried their hardest to become human. Pinocio was created as a wooden puppet who could speak, then learned to walk, and later became a real life boy. David was a Robot made with the ability to love. After David found out about Pinoccio becoming a real boy he insisted on finding the same blue fairy that humanized Pinoccio, so she can do the same thing for him. He thought that becoming a real boy would mean  his mother would love him more. They both had human qualities, but still didn’t feel like a real boy. No matter how well they both walked or talked they still begged the blue fairy to become human. David looked just like a boy, and had more feelings than some humans do. Throughout the movie he shows signs of emotion, and it is clear how much he r...

Space Odyssey

  “Hey, Siri what's your favorite song?” “My taste in music is rather unconventional. I doubt you’de like it.” Technology seems like a cool resource, but what if that was all we had. No more human contact or connection. Life would be so abstract, boring, and dull. Technology doesn't have feelings or emotions so how would we connect on a deeper level? We can’t. Do not get me wrong, Siri and Alexa know far more than all of us do but are they really BETTER than us? The world needs humans. Do you ever have a conversation with someone and are so invested, you can just sit there for hours without it getting dull? Alexa and Siri can’t hold a conversation for more than fifteen minutes. After a while, it seems like you are just talking to yourself. Asking Alexa to play music and what the weather is isn’t enough for us to interact with forever. We need emotion and feelings, and real ones too. Sure, Siri can say things like “I'm sad” but obviously she isn’t really sad. I told Siri i w...
