Stay fabulous fellow Brighton population ! More colours, more class, more charisma ! I do so enjoy running after you beauties in the street with as much elegance as God gave me (not much) to complement you on your fabulous-ness, embarrassing you to the point of nervous giggling explosion of emotions and having short but utterly delightful conversations with you ravishing randomers ! Merci beaucoup and let the magic continue !
Nina, 16, is a true Brightonian, born and raised. She was sitting outside the library ready to go in and attack the load of college work she had to do over the Christmas holiday! Nina goes to college to study politics, psychology and English language. “I love Brighton for it’s people, how open it is, I love pride here. I just love everything about it!” Nina hopes to one day fulfil her dream of becoming a journalist. “I come from a family of writers and it’s just something I really want to do. My sister’s got quite a big magazine, so I’ve just been inspired to become a great writer.” Nina bagged her outfit from the sales in shops like Urban Outfitters, the boutiques in the North laine, charity shops… What about her colourful hair? C’est très Brighton. “I usually have it a lot brighter pink because I hate being blond, I find it boring. I love colour! “I toned it down when I went for an interview at M&S. I didn’t think they’d want to hire a girl with bright pink hair.” But now that the job is in the bag Nina hopes to tone her hair up “more and more pink everyday”!
Nina’s message for humanity : “Let it happen, go with the flow.”
