I absolutely love movie nights at Amplify, our student and young adult social nights at King’s.

Fashion ni hao
Ni hao from Dolothy Perkins I have something to show you, and it’s Dorothy Perkins’ Oriental-looking mannequins. Will you take a look at this! This photo was taken from their branch at Manchester’s Arndale. First TOPSHOP did it with black models, now look where they’ve “progressed” to. It’s positively racist BUT wicked!
