  • Met Gala 2015 | Red Carpet Fashion Round Up

    It’s one of the biggest fashion fueled nights of the year. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Annual Gala (otherwise known as The Met Gala or Met Ball) is usually one of the more opulent red carpet events – almost like the Oscars of fashion. This year the Met are celebrating the opening of China: Through The Looking Glass, an exhibition focused on the Eastern influence on Western fashion.

    As always with the Met Gala I was looking out for looks that paid a respectful tribute to the theme of the exhibition, but this year I was also looking eyeing up attendees cultural sensitivity with their ensembles i.e. less inventive attempts to appropriate Chinese culture. As a result, I’ve have never been more nervous to see a red carpet and I’ve never been more selective and judgmental over which looks to include in my round up post.

    That being said let’s get on with the show! Here’s my round up of the best looks from the Met Gala…

  • Introducing The Unabridged Writer: A Personal Writing Blog

    Guys, I’d like you to welcome in the newest addition to the RCagz blog family: The Unabridged Writer!

    The Unabridged Writer header

    So the other day I was thinking ‘Hey, Ria you know you don’t have enough going on in your life both IRL and in the blogsphere? Why don’t you start up another one?’ Haha…HA!
    Yes, I’ve started yet another blog – this will be number four after Blogger’s Bookshelf and Feminist In Training too. I’m mental. I know, but let me explain a thing.

    So writing has always been a hobby of mine since way back when where I was copying out stories and put pen to paper with my overactive imagination since I knew how pick up a pencil. I’ve always loved creative writing and wanted to be an author growing up, but, as things do I reached my teens and fell off the writing bandwagon for a few years….until I did my first NaNoWriMo in my first year at University. I was immediately hooked on writing bandwagon again.

    Now that, coupled with starting all these blogs and getting in the swing of writing regularly seems to have reignited the spark to create stories again.

    I’ve kept my small hobby for writing quite private as for me writing is quite a personal experience, but if there’s anything I’ve learnt over my almost 5 years of blogging it’s that sharing experiences can be a really wonderful thing. So this is where this new blog comes in handy.

    The Unabridged Writer is a personal project chronicling my journey as I meander through writing. I kind figure if I make it public that I’m trying to write something, I’ll be held accountable for it.

    I’m hosting on Tumblr, so this definitely won’t be as formal a thing as my other blogs and it’s easier to share and reblog writing resources that way too. There won’t be a set schedule or regular posts, but I’d like to have a place where I can dump ideas and share my progress as I work on a whopping 6 semi-active writing projects (ranging from short stories to a whole season of a TV show to a fantasy series).

    You can follow me here if you have a Tumblr and you can check out my work in progress projects page here :)
