Birdbath

by Sienna Axe I thought a lot about what to post for the Spring Cleaning issue—I'm right in the middle of designing the lights for Disaster! right now (free tickets if you're in Walla Walla!), so I knew I wouldn't have time to write anything new, but I have a soft spot for this little ex ercise in voice I wrote for my Sci-Fi & Society final last year (in collaboration with a piece of music by Sofia Solares). So thanks for reading! And thanks for reading/supporting Birdbath all year. It's been awesome :) [Disclaimer: this is a work of fiction, but almost all of the people mentioned are real. None of them actually said any of this, and I am in no way claiming they did. Cheers!]

There is something about seeing the bright colors, the layering, the gaudy accessories - they just do something to me. Don't get me wrong, I love the music, the cheesy animation, the jump cuts, but there's something about how this fashion has influenced the person I have become. Where would I be without Daphne's violet and purple fits in Scooby-Doo (2002)? What if I had never seen Mean Girls ? The fashion was pink, bright, often unabashedly feminine, and sometimes just simply ugly. I love it. I love it so much. Sienna: The 2000s were a beautiful time! I mean that! I think everyone has a special place in their hearts for the decade that taught them what "cool" looked like, no matter how misguided it may have been. And the effects are so crazy—it's so wonderful to watch a whole industry try (and fail) to really test...
