The Annual POCU Fashion Show held by the campus organization “People of Color United,” was held in the Student Activities Center on Saturday, April 18. The fashion show is the final activity of the year held by POCU. Junior Martell Prayear and senior Miranda Jackson were the show’s hosts and announcers.

The fashion show is a competition where various designers, or teams of designers, are required to create outfits that adhere to a general theme, but also incorporate the designer’s unique, personal concepts. This year, the general theme for the fashion show was: Thrift Shop. Each designer, or group of designers, was required to utilize clothes purchased from the local Goodwill and maintain a $50 budget. Preparations for the event, Jackson said, were very short. “I was really surprised how well it turned out, because we started practicing for the show at four o’clock that day,” Jackson said. “They typically start practicing way a head of time.” Despite the delayed preparation, the fashion show was an overall success. The first designer to present at the fashion show was Victoria Webster.

Webster’s fashion line was inspired by professional work attire. “I think it can be hard transitioning college wear into professional wear, on a budget,” Webster said of her outfits. Webster was able to find three models to wear the clothes, which she said was a combination of the model’s personal items, as well as those purchased through Goodwill. The second fashion line presented at the fashion show was designed by Iyana Lynch. For her personal theme, Lynch designed outfits that were inspired by the different seasons. The third designer to present that evening was Alyssa Nieset. Inspired by 90’s menswear, Nieset designed a line of androgynous outfits. The final clothing line presented was a team effort from: Jeanita Blue and Angel Powell.

Their theme was considered “90’s Reloaded,” and featured various throwbacks to 1990’s pop culture such as TLC and The Spice Girls. Blue said that most of the outfits in their fashion line were inspired by “eco-friendly fashion,” and were intended to decrease hesitation toward shopping at thrift stores. While the judges finalized the scores for each designer or team, the Urban Dance Association entertained the crowd with a quick performance. The judge’s scores resulted in a tie between Jeanita Blue & Angel Powell, and Iyana Lynch. Despite the general tie, Blue and Powell were awarded first place, while Lynch was granted second place. There was an off-campus reception held in Cleveland after the event. Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/purple-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/green-formal-dresses

I know some people with heart so far from the darkness
Soul bright as sunshine
Loneliness is a stranger

Sometimes  I wish to be those people
Seeing only skin
Never notice the signs
Wearing rose colored glasses
Not knowing the tired eyes

But most of time
The darkness comforts me
Loneliness is a company
The scars are rainbow

Then I realize
It's not my dark soul
It's not my sad eyes
It's my mind who recognize both sunshine and storm
Rainbow and thunder
Flowers and soil

I used to sing at the top of my lungs
and only think of colorful air
passing over my tongue
but ever since you left
every time I sing, I think of you.
You were taken from me too soon
without a chance to say a last
I-Love-You.
Sometimes it's a dull ache
but sometimes I'm doubled-over in pain
and it hits just when I think
I can finally see the sun.
Because how can the sun still shine
when its rays can't find you?
You'll never flounce through the
screen door again
on the way to your favorite
wooden bench
but you still
float in and out of my dreams
and it's such a bittersweet pleasure
to see you there.

It's early in the morning
And I'm still thinking about you....
It could be late at night
And I'm still thinking about you...
You're always on my mind?
Ur in my dreams?
God I cnt get over why ur so kind?
I think this is real
I think I need you to be with me
I think now I'm the only fein.
Day and day,
Constantly writing about you,
Im always thinking about you....
bW

Take me with you
As the day ends and you
Ly in your bed.
Take me with you,
As you travel through
Your dreams.
Please come visit me.
I want to be what you fein,
What you crave,
What you need.
The way we used to talk all night-
I still get butterflies.
I wish i could go back there,
The way you used to say
How you would love to play with my hair.
You loved to touch my skin,
But now- it has not been
The same.
And when i see you with her,
I cant help but cringe.
But i guess,
Im the only one to blame.
Im sorry.
I miss you.
Even though, we have different
World views,
I still can never stop thinking about
You.  -bW
