Way back in 2007 I knew I had to do something with those two and this song, but I didn’t know what, or how. Now I know - this, and something else that’ll come soon.

Sometimes art takes… time.

This Muslim Woman Is Redefining Hijabi Fashion In Japan With Her Gorgeous Instagram Photos

“I want to show that Muslim fashion is something that goes beyond the boundaries of religion and that anyone can empathize with and enjoy it.”

By Saori Ibuki and Kassy Cho

Although her Indonesian Muslim parents never pressured her to wear a hijab, Rahmalia Aufa Yazid always figured that she would eventually end up wearing one.

Born and raised in Tokyo, she initially didn’t feel that strongly about Islam, so she had followed her parents’ lead when it came to the religion.

When she finally decided to put on a hijab at age 18, it felt impersonal to her, and Yazid struggled with dressing in it.

Although her Indonesian Muslim parents never pressured her to wear a hijab, Rahmalia Aufa Yazid always figured that she would eventually end up wearing one.

Born and raised in Tokyo, she initially didn’t feel that strongly about Islam, so she had followed her parents’ lead when it came to the religion.

When she finally decided to put on a hijab at age 18, it felt impersonal to her, and Yazid struggled with dressing in it.

“I felt that the hijab was a religious item of clothing, so I was choosing my clothes to match,” the 24-year-old freelance creator, who posts under her Instagram handle @aufatokyo, told BuzzFeed News.

As a result, she found herself missing out on popular Japanese fashion trends and feeling out of place in school, where she was the only hijabi student in her major.

“Not only did I stand out as someone with foreign heritage, my daily outfits now consisted of my mother’s old hijab and outfits that were totally different from designs and colors that were popular in Japan at the time,” she said.

“Although it was my choice to wear the hijab, I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel as though the hijab was, instead, wearing me,” she said.

All that changed when she encountered the work of Hana Tajima, a mixed-race British and Japanese designer who converted to Islam in her teens.

It was only after she saw Tajima’s Uniqlo modest wear collection that Yazid realized modest fashion didn’t have to feel out of place in the streets of Tokyo.

“Her fashion didn’t feel like it was trying to be particularly gorgeous, vivid, or even traditional,” Yazid said.

“That was the moment the hijab changed from an impersonal, religious item of clothing to something that was true to my life,“ she added.

Yazid now combines Muslim and Japanese fashions in the city of Tokyo, sharing her self-portraits on her Instagram to her 14,000 followers.

She calls Tokyo a “cold and restless city,” where people dress in neutral colors of black, white, beige, and khaki and where bright colors and striking patterns are rare.

She styles her hijab the way that Japanese people style their hair — to match their outfit and mood for the day.

Just as Japanese people vary their hairstyles, from straight to bobbed, wavy to short haircuts, Yazid uses different colors, materials, and wrapping methods to switch up her look.

For example, the hijab can be wrapped asymmetrically to create an effect that’s similar to that of bangs being swept to one side, she said.

“I also add accessories to create a more lively look,” she said. “I like hats, so I often wear a beret over the hijab.”

For Yazid, Islam’s restrictions against women showing skin is the part she enjoys most about fashion.

Because hijabi fashion doesn’t allow women to show off their neck, legs, or figures, it’s a lot more difficult to come up with an outfit that still achieves an overall balance, she said.

“But for me, that’s part of the fun,” she said. “It’s like solving a puzzle.”

Her work has led to an increased sense of her pride in her Muslim faith in a country where Muslims are a small minority, she said.

Yazid said she wants to use her work to show people that they can wear a hijab, live a normal life, and not look out of place in the city.

Since then, she said she’s received many comments from people who said they’re inspired by her work.

Some of them have begun wearing hijabs, while others have told her they want to learn more about Islam.

“Hijabi fashion — Muslim fashion — transcends the boundaries of religion and can be a source of enjoyment for anyone,” she said. “It’s something that all women who want to look beautiful with can empathize with and enjoy.”

She added, “I want to use what I do to improve people’s understanding of Muslims, change biased views about the religion, and help people realize the value of living in a diverse society.“

“I want to show myself, a Muslim, living strong and beautiful, through my art,” she said.

*RARE* John Denver & Johnny Cash - Take Me Home Country Roads

Found this while going through my granddad’s VHS tapes and couldn’t find it anywhere online, so here it is.

When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay

Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe

4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger

1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix

1 TBs ketchup

1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,

1 Tbs bbq sauce

1 Tbs steak sauce

1 egg

mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)

You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

In 1990, the high school dropout rate for Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville Tennessee was at 34% (Research shows that most kids make up their minds in fifth/sixth grade not to graduate). That year, all fifth and sixth graders from Sevierville were invited by Parton to attend an assembly at Dollywood. They were asked to pick a buddy, and if both students completed high school, Dolly Parton would personally hand them each a $500 check on their graduation day. As a result, the dropout rate for those classes fell to 6%, and has generally retained that average to this day.

Shortly after the success of The Buddy Program, Parton learned in dealing with teachers from the school district that problems in education often begin during first grade when kids are at different developmental levels. That year The Dollywood Foundation paid the salaries for additional teachers assistants in every first grade class for the next 2 years, under the agreement that if the program worked, the school system would effectively adopt and fund the program after the trial period.

During the same period, Parton founded the Imagination Library in 1995: The idea being that children from her rural hometown and low-income families often start school at a disadvantage and as a result, will be unfairly compared to their peers for the rest of their lives, effectively encouraging them not to pursue higher education. The objective of the Imagination library was that every child in Sevier County would receive one book, every month, mailed and addressed to the child, from the day they were born until the day they started kindergarten, 100% free of charge. What began as a hometown initiative now serves children in all 50 states, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, mailing thousands of free books to children around the world monthly.

On March 1, 2018 Parton donated her 100 millionth book at the Library of Congress: a copy of "Coat of Many Colors" dedicated to her father, who never learned to read or write.
