Global Eyes
We See All... and Tell All

By the Funky Four 

Hey Fletcher!!!  We're back!  Remember us, the funky fabulous four?   To recap, there's Valley-girl Heather who got into Fletcher by some admissions fluke, our Little Latina, Manolita de la Blaba who is graced with the true gift of gab, Marie-Chantal de la Foufou who reigns from Monte Carlo and Guy… well, what can we say about Guy except that despite being afflicted with occasional idiomatic problems causing inadvertent confusion he's just… plain…Guy?   

Before we get started there's the little matter of a competition...  The answer to the  
GUESS THE IDENTITIES OF GLOBALEYES PIONEERS, MS. DEMEANOUR AND MS. CREANT is of course..

Lisa Karanja and Sarah Wagner.  (As for who is which 'ms' they're not telling...)


And the winner is....

Well, it looks like the partying has been picking up in the last couple of weeks and we've been right there mingling amongst you, ready to dish the dirt on what is going on at Fletcher behind closed doors and in glass fishbowls...

Speaking of fishbowls, like uh, how oblivious can Fletcher students be?  Like yoo hoo, who didn't see those two in there engaged in some major tete a tete???  Like, I'm not too sure what to make of this study group of like totally anonymous students. Like duuhhhh, guys, why do you think they call it a fishbowl?  Next time just be sure you come up for air.  Like, what do YOU think Mary Chantal?

Zut alors, Heazzer, you're accent it is atrocious!  But speaking of eh, how you say it, ethereal matters and ze beautiful people, our Aphrodite, Elina Manjieva has taken a liking to certain ambrosial concoctions.  Rumor has it zat she is fond of washing down Brazilnuts with Caipirinas!!!

Aye, Aye, Aye, Mamasita, I have to tell you about the music at the fiesta hosted by Elaina Loizou and Agatha Ciancarelli!!! They played Brandy and Madonna on this cute little radio that kept skipping!  Aye, you had to see the dances coming out of the woodwork.  Were you there Papi???

Hey babe, I was watching the dance moves of our very own Chen Zak.  Rumor has it that she learned all these slick salsa moves over the summer.  Well, I can tell you, she was dancing to the beat of her own drummer at the last party!!!

Speaking of slick ... Like, Omigod, did you see AM and Peter Maier, they were like all decked out in their Sunday best for Citibank interviews this week.  Like suits and all!  I mean, AM's didn't even have like, Bruce Springsteen on the front…

Speaking of hunting, zere seems to be ah, so many Fletcher boys on ze prowl.  In fact some of zem ave been abusing our cultural customs, several were spotted kissing our darling Swiss miss, Mademoiselle Alexandra Ruppen some 32 times on the cheeks instead of the customary three. You are very bad you boys! 

Mami!  By the way, Mojisola, mi hermosa Terry, if I’m not mistaken, it is not, in fact, the culture of a world citizen to rub up on people in the Hall of Flags.  Or no, Papi?

Well, speaking of taking advantage of situations, I noticed that Ms. Van den Brule has an interesting new take on quality time. She’s been toting her boyfriend along to class.  I don't think that's what Fletcher means by a JOINT DEGREE Jill

I myself would like to congratulate all ze budding young poets and ze gracious hosts John Moore, Ziad Raphael and Kevin Newman for their invitation to "spread the word" as well as Omekongo Dibinga for his impromptu performance that wowed ze crowd.  But, please, please gentlemen, do not confuse poetic license with other forms of impermissible licentiousness.  Alexis Grabar, we know Omekongo Dibinga's young dancer friends were tres sensuelles but we call zis, how do you say, barely legal 'ere. We hope you spread the word, because if not we will ...

Speaking of like artistic endeavours, I'd like to say that I'm so like really excited about all of these international artsy types that are being admitted to Fletcher lately.  Like, between the actors and singers and everything, I feel like this is like that old show Fame.  And I can't imagine how awesome it will be with those GMAP Global Master of Arts program which will mean that our parties will be like advertised all over the internet and will be in cool places like Costa Rica! Go Fletcher, yeah! 

You are very young I sink…  Anyway, it is time for us to leave you, and for your viewing pleasure, we 'ave some pictures of ze orientation.  Mais, make sure 'ow  you say zat you GET OUT ZERE AND GIVE US SOMESINK TO TALK ABOUT…
