‘Tis The Season
By: Greg Feiner (Taken. Sorry, Ladies)
Well, it’s
December. Hannukah has already come upon us, and in about three weeks it will
be time for another holiday. Yes, that’s right, it’s almost time for Kwanzaa!
What? You don’t actually know what Kwanzaa is? Racist.
Here is the
Sparknotes version of Kwanzaa:
1. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Maulena Karenga, a
prominent figure during the Black Power Movement. It was the first exclusively
African-American holiday.
2. Kwanzaa is based on seven principles sometimes
reffered to as the Nguzo Saba. They
are:
i.
Unity
ii.
Self-Determination
iii.
Collective
Work/Responsibility
iv.
Cooperative
Economics
v.
Purpose
vi.
Creativity
vii.
Faith
3. Kwanzaa is a week long, starting on December 26th
and ending on January 2nd.
4. Kwanzaa is celebrated in many ways. Those
celebrating might decorate their houses with African art or wear African
clothing. Often times candles are lit in traditional candle holders called
Kinaras. Many families celebrate Kwanzaa alongside other holidays.
Some
Kwanzaa ceremonies might include drumming and music, readings of The African
Pledge and The Principles of Blackness, artistic performance, libations, and/or a large meal.
5. Approximately 4.7 million people celebrate
Kwanzaa every year.
6. The greeting is “Joyous Kwanzaa.”

Tips For A Very Hipster Formal
By: Nessa Garcia (Vinyl Lover)
Today, I will give all the ladies some tips on how to
pull off hipster formalwear. To be honest, anyone, regardless of gender, can
take these suggestions because screw gender roles!! Ha, I am really not kidding
here.
Anyway, just because you don a pair of Dr. Martens
doesn’t mean you’ve crossed into hipster territory. Maybe if you had beat the
crowd a few months earlier, sure. But now? You’re just too late. Instead, I would
suggest a pair of Litas that don’t have the actual heels. You know, the ones
where you have to balance on the balls of your feet in order to remain
standing. Not only will you stand (if you can) out from the masses, but you
will be forced into a constant stumbling or wavering motion that can pass as
dancing if you try hard enough. Pretty ideal if you ask me.
Next, the dress. Don’t tell me you’ve already gotten
one. If so, just return it! It’s probably a boring cocktail dress that some
other girl is also planning to wear. What you need to do is to take one of your
mother’s long, dark gowns and just cut a bunch of slits from the bottom. If you
have a glue gun, glue some gold spikes, assuming that everyone has these, onto
the sucker. Now, find some slightly withered foliage/flora and create a crown.
Basically, the intended look is a nature-y-Egyptian-warrior-queen-Jesus look.
Finally, to finish off, the makeup. It’s honestly too
easy to do a classic pin-up girl look. Your face IS a coloring book on Formal
night. For the lips, neon blue is in. Also, rhinestones and/or sprinkles can be
attached, I would just be careful eating. Well, maybe just skip dinner that
night. With eye shadow, create a rectangle that stretches from one side of your
face to the other. It’ll kind of look like you’re wearing a futuristic pair of
shades. Except it’s eye shadow. Sweet. The final step is eyeliner, and I’ll
just say one word: wings.
With all this advice, you’ll
never fit in with the other bland formal-goers! Just like you wanted. Dare to
have a hipster Formal.
