The Oscars.






What a night! A mixture of thrills, excitement and a sprinkle of magic. The photographer's flash being the starry background which makes it all seem like a dream.

My highlight has definitely got to be Lupita's win. It was expected but that never took away the magic in her voice and her speech, it made it all the more real:

'No matter where you are from, your dreams are valid'

This inspiring, final sentence really blew me away. Not only does it portray her dedication to her work but it also motivates others out there to strive for your dreams, it certainly makes me want to chase my dreams even more.

She made an even bigger place in my heart with her speech on beauty when she accepted the 'Best Breakthrough Performance' Award (i shall attach a link to the video so you can all be inspired). I cannot express how much I love this woman! Talented, humble and passionate.

Overall, the night was exactly what i anticipated and more. The Oscars truly are what dreams are made of.

Lupita on beauty.

BAZAAR


My inspiration:



HARPER'S BAZAAR

If you followed my link then you will be reading this which means i have been successful in gaining your attention. Despite being an English student (we are taught to condense what we are trying to say) i cannot box up my points because i have too much to say and i like jotting my thoughts down without condensing the small, yet relevant parts.

HB is all about delivering a "sophisticated" perspective into the world of fashion, beauty and popular culture on a monthly basis. It in not just a magazine but a home to talent such as Robert Frank and Patrick Demarchelier, who capture the beauty of fashion and couture. Writers such as  Daisy Fellowes whose work continues to inspire many aspiring writers such as myself. If i could become a part of something so great, i know i could excel. I want to write about London Fashion week. I want to research what Cara Delevigne wore on the catwalk.

I have had the 'Harper's Bazaar work experience' bookmark saved on my laptop for many months now, wanting to perfect my answer to your question. I have spent months collecting ideas and ways to ascertain that i could be picked/considered for this role and it's been challenging. yet at the same time, i have enjoyed that challenge. And whilst thinking of ways to answer the question, it made me realise that this is something i really want because i haven't been so passionate and dedicated about something in such a long while. 

I have come to realise, i want this. I see myself out there researching the latest news, staying on top of current events, talking about issues which make me feel buzzed. I don't know if me writing this is going to intrigue you or repel you but even if it gains either response, i am pleased because you are reading this. I am being given a chance to display how much i want this role.
I believe being mad about something means having to show that and i didn't want to show you my passion about this in just simple black and white characters, i wanted to go beyond so you could get an insight into my character.

I hope for you to contact me in the hopes of being chose and i shall eagerly await your response.

Thank you,

Amerjt Kang.

The Oscars await.

It's that time of year when grand dresses decorate the red carpet and men in tuxes accompany the beautiful women. The stars are filled with anticipation and excitement as they await the winning announcements. The Oscars really are what dreams are made of. With the photographers yelling over one another, begging the star to fix their gaze on their lens in hope of capturing an ounce of the anticipation brewing inside them. The air is full of nourished dreams, as each nominee awaits to hold the gold glazed trophy. To be acclaimed for a role each and every one has worked so hard for, to be appreciated by the world of entertainment, by each adoring fan.
Watching these actors walk down the  iconic red carpet is such a monumental moment, their faces are alight with anticipation. Mentally adjusting their prepared speeches in the hopes of their names being read out, it must be such a "blur"moment, when everything around them is paused. The moment when just for a second, everything goes quiet followed by an eruption of applause and screams. How do they even begin to compose themselves?
Just imagine being in that moment, from the very first instant when you discover you have been nominated, alongside other such credible actors. All the way to the night, sitting down and waiting for the name to be read out, your name? The moments leading up to the announcement would be the most thrilling. Heart pumping, adrenaline coursing through your veins, fists clenched, eyes glazed over with the wait. The intensity of the wait alone could tire one out.
Everything is alight with passion and dedication. It's a dream. Just being there, soaking up the night would be such a pleasure.
