Fashion Show!

On 25th and 26th November, the St. Wolstan fashion show took place. It was held in the Celbridge Manor Hotel and many people came. It was a full house. There were models on the catwalk, dancers ranging from hip hop to ballet and singers. But not all the action happened on stage, there was also Mini Companies set up. There were lots of unique products just waiting to be sold. It was fantastic.

I was modelling for a Ty company called, Seem. They designed bracelets, necklaces and bows. Their products are beautiful and I'm amazed on how they had the skill to make those accessories. Modelling for them for the fashion show was a great and fun experience.

There many acts that went up on the stage. My favourite ones were when the ballerinas danced to Ed Sheeran's song, 'Thinking Out Loud' and 'Blank Space' by Taylor Swift. Their performance blew me away. The teachers were great too. It was truly entertaining to see them model. They were brilliant I must say.

Overall, the fashion was great and I hope we get another opportunity to do it again in the future.

   

Mini Company

Mini Company is one of the most exciting and memorable experience in TY. But it can sometimes be stressful. We were given a month to create a  unique product we would sell. A month is a long enough time right? Well time flew by very quickly and as it came closer to the end of the month, we were panicking because we couldn't settle on an idea. Fortunately, in the end we agreed on mason jars. We would get clear jars and decorate them and people will decide on what they want to do with it. Turn it into either a make up brush holder, flower vase etc. Our product name is 'Jar of Art'.

There are roles in each group. There is MD (Managing Director), Marketing, Sales and Finance. I'm Finance and I'm not so sure if I chose correctly. I like maths but I'm not so good at it.

There is a fashion show coming up so it gives us a great opportunity to sell our jars. We are pressured for time and have to get at least 40 jars made in under 1 week and a bit. It is going to be one hectic week.  

Carton House

On 18th November, we went to Carton House for an art exhibition. The art exhibition was in Maynooth so it wasn't a long journey. When we arrived, I was amazed by the art pieces I saw. They were all unique and each one had a special meaning to it. My favourite one would have to be the 'Blue Moon' statue by Catherine Greene. I really like this piece because I like the concept of wolves. Wolves are kind gentle animals but once you threaten their loved ones, they can become one of the most relentless creatures out there. In my opinion, I think the statue represents the similarities of a wolf and a human being. Human beings can be gentle and warm but by threatening the people who are close to us, we can become protective and defensive people.
