Style of the day


I'd come unannounced as usual - just slipped into the gate of the orphan/ethnic minority high school. I hear they get a monthly stipend of around $20 US a month. I don't see Oliver Twist around but hope someone is interested in a book.

A young guy lopes across the schoolyard with curious sideburns. They looked more like earlocks. I know it's the fashion because he walks cool and I see it on others. Closer up, I can see that they're marked in with charcoal. He was kind enough to let me take a picture. I wanted to record what's the current rage at the orphan/ethnic minority school.
