Lindsey Lohan (Cady Heron), the new girl in town, battles “The Plastics” led by Rachel McAdams (Regina George) in this hilarious and witty film written by “Saturday Night Live’s” Tina Fey. Fey took Rosalind Wiseman’s self-help book for parents and turned it into one of the biggest teen movies of the decade, leaving youth across the globe begging for more.

Personally, my life and high school was affected by Mean Girls and I didn’t even know it. At my high school, we had a film fest every year, where each grade made a film and they were judged by the teachers. The winning grade got some sort of prize or points towards field day.

This was the foundation of their long romantic relationship and photographic associations. Weston was later inspired by ARMCO Steel Plant in Middletown, Ohio. In 1923, he moved to Mexico City and opened a studio with his lover Tina Modotti. Tina and Edward moved back to California in 1927, where he developed his exceptional photographic techniques that have made him

The Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). I was able to take advantage of looking at three different exhibitions in a span of 4 hours but will only be discussing two of them, which are, the “Playing with Fire: Paintings by Carlos Almaraz” and “Found in Translation: Design in California and Mexico, 1915-1985.” These two exhibitions really brought forth a different perspective through history

Rivera gets into a heated argument with David Siquerios, a rival painter, that led to Rivera pulling a gun on him and barely missing him with his gunshot.
