unleashed thoughts from B’ham #4

looking for homely devices 

 

3 Chinese carrying yellow Chinese supermarket bags. Their house is going to feel like home when these bags are opened.

5 or 6 teenagers in their school uniforms. Talking on their cell phones, arranging rendez-vous in Zara, or H&M or the Burger King. The mall is their micro-city. They know its geography to the detail. When asking for directions in the city go to the cab driver. When asking directions in the mall go for the teens.

60, 70, 200 young men from the Maghreb. Someone should tell them how unfashionable those hairstyles are. It’s identity they might argue. Or not. In any case the hairstyle suffers continuous attempts of overcoming its untrendyness. Failled attempts I should say. Lines are drawn in their heads by means of combining non-haired areas with haired ones. The more rebel you are the strangest will be your combination. You overcome. And you still look bad.

1 beautiful young Muslim woman. She overcomes its ethnical/religious artefacts with astonishing style. The scarf matches the purse. Discreetly. The cosmopolitan boots offer her a princess-like walk. She overcomes. She looks beautiful. Followed her for quite a while. I’m very committed to my research work.
