Kelly Dessaint on the "Drinks with Tony" Podcast

I was a guest on Tony DuShane’s eponymous podcast/radio show, Drinks with Tony. We discuss the craft writing, how I ended up driving a taxi, my experiences with Lyft and Uber, how I landed a gig writing a column for the S.F. Examiner, the pandemic and how a little bit of success can lead to a whole lot of despair. I think. We talked for a while, and I kinda hoping he edited a bunch of stuff…

When I got interested in fashion I went to youtube. It takes some exploring to find a channel you’d like but I recommend Tim Dessaint. Although he’s UK-based but he still has useful tips on how to style outfits.

I like to believe I’ve uped my cool aesthetic after watching his vids 😆 but my friends have complimented me on my outfits so that’s good

personally, i just open my cam to my fem friends and have them judge tf out of me

WEEK 6: Does "sustainable fashion" really exist?

According to Domingos et al (2022), a fashion label is perceived as "slow/sustainable" when it follows the principles relating to quality-based production, ethical attitudes, and well-made and long-lasting products. However, an ideal story in which both the economic and ethical concerns are prioritized is relatively rare to happen in the fashion industry. Even Uniqlo, a top global brand that is known for its timeless designs, is still not categorized as a slow-fashion company but instead a "sustainable fast-fashion brand" because of its mass production. (Danziger, 2021) So the question is, in which way sustainability is demonstrated in the current fashion landscape?

Firstly, we must look straightforward into the reality that thanks to media in general and social media in particular, slow fashion nowadays has become a movement that every brand is following to make themselves more ethical and favorable in the consumers' eyes. Browsing on H&M, Zara, or Uniqlo's websites, it is observed that they have exclusive sections where they clarify their efforts in maintaining sustainability, with identical terms such as "net-zero impact", "reducing the footprints", "environmental-friendly materials"... However, it seems like their practical outcomes do not align with the missions they set for themselves, based on annual reports and news indicating the great amount of solid waste and CO2 emissions from their factories, how they exploit their labor resources, and how fast can they catch up with the trends and produce collections constantly. (Shedlock and Feldstein, 2023)

Since the "slow" factor still needs a very long time to be clearly visible through the manufacturing process, it is suggested that we should shift the attention to the customers' - our mindsets when purchasing and consuming clothes. You can buy a $4 T-shirt from SHEIN but wear it for 4 years, that is when you practice sustainable fashion, focusing on the clothes' lifespan and number of usages, even though your piece comes from an unsustainable brand.

In 2023, the fashion industry witnessed the rise of "capsule wardrobe" and "quiet luxury". Although these trends did encounter certain unknowledgeable followers, they contributed significantly to educating consumers to prioritize clothes' quality in materials, forms, and seams over logos or trendiness; and to only buy the "hero" pieces that can match well together. On Instagram and TikTok, some popular fashionistas like Tim Dessaint and Daniel Simmons have succeeded in inspiring their communities to repeat outfits, proving that simplicity and efficiency should be the new trend.

El Holocausto, una herida profunda en la historia de la humanidad, Travesía a través del Holocausto: Historia, Héroes y cinematografía. Ya que el Holocausto se manifiesta no sólo a través de relatos históricos, sino también en obras cinematográficas y literarias que buscan capturar la complejidad y el horror de aquellos tiempos oscuros. En esta exploración, nos sumergiéremos en la rica cinematografía y algunas obras literarias significativas relacionadas con el Holocausto. Examinando cómo estas contribuyen a preservar la memoria y a transmitir las lecciones aprendidas. Auschwitz en la Pantalla Grande: Películas que Dejan una Huella El cine, como forma de arte poderosa, ha desempeñado un papel crucial en representar los horrores del Holocausto. Algunas películas notables incluyen: La Lista de Schindler (1994): Dirigida por Steven Spielberg. Esta obra maestra retrata la historia real de Oskar Schindler, un empresario alemán que salvó a más de mil judíos durante el Holocausto. La fábrica de Oskar Schindler, que aparece en la película está en la República Checa. La Vida es Bella (1999): Dirigida por Roberto Benigni. Esta película italiana fusiona humor y tragedia para contar la historia de un padre que utiliza la imaginación para proteger a su hijo en un campo de concentración. El Pianista (2002): Dirigida por Roman Polanski, esta película sigue la vida del pianista judío polaco Władysław Szpilman durante la ocupación nazi en Varsovia. El Niño con el Pijama de Rayas (2008): Basada en la novela homónima, la película cuenta la historia de la amistad entre un niño judío en un campo de concentración y un niño alemán. Pájaros Pintados (2019): Dirigida por Václav Marhoul. Esta película checa, basada en la novela homónima, ofrece una visión cruda y conmovedora de la brutalidad vivida por un niño durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Entre las Páginas del Holocausto: Libros que Dejan una Impresión Duradera La literatura ha sido un medio fundamental para explorar las experiencias individuales y colectivas durante el Holocausto. Algunas obras literarias esenciales incluyen: El Diario de Ana Frank (1947): El conmovedor relato de Ana Frank, una niña judía escondida durante la ocupación nazi, ofrece una perspectiva íntima de la vida bajo la opresión. Noche (1956): Elie Wiesel relata su experiencia en Auschwitz y Buchenwald en esta obra que se ha convertido en un testimonio fundamental del Holocausto. La Sombra del Viento (2001): Aunque no se centra exclusivamente en el Holocausto, la novela de Carlos Ruiz Zafón toca este tema, explorando las secuelas psicológicas de la guerra y la opresión. El Nudo de la Corbata (2017): La novela de Pascal Dessaint aborda la vida en los campos de concentración nazis desde una perspectiva única y conmovedora. Nicolas Winton: El Héroe Olvidado de Checoslovaquia Mientras exploramos héroes, Sir Nicholas Winton emerge como una figura clave. Organizando transportes de niños desde Checoslovaquia a Gran Bretaña, Winton salvó a cerca de 700 niños judíos. Su historia, a menudo olvidada, destaca la valentía individual en tiempos desesperados. Reflexión y Memoria Continua El Holocausto, inmortalizado en películas y libros, no solo es un recordatorio de los horrores pasados, sino también una llamada a la reflexión y acción en el presente. A medida que exploramos estas representaciones, recordamos que la memoria colectiva es vital para prevenir la repetición de la historia oscura. La travesía a través del Holocausto no solo nos conecta con el pasado, sino que nos insta a construir un futuro arraigado en la tolerancia y el respeto. Haz tu compromiso personal: Únete a un Tour del Nazismo en Praga o ve al campo de concentración de Terezín. Dos visitas que te harán profundizar más en la historia.Que tu travesía a través del Holocausto no solo se reduzca a: Historia, Héroes y cinematografía.

That Time I Was a Lyft Driver for Halloween

Ah, the memories… Even if I try to forget, Facebook always reminds me of the stupid shit I did in the past… And wrote columns about… The increasingly blurry lines of driving for hire By Kelly Dessaint  published on Nov 6, 2015 I was a Lyft driver for Halloween.
